Whords Err... Hoards

[SoM]

That crazy Brad NewSoM (heh) sends word that his team is feverishly experimenting with the Doom3 engine trying to make hoards of hellspawn possible without locking your computer. Seems they are testing out using scripting to change various detail aspects of the game when many monsters are active. Sounds interesting if you've ever wanted to have 100 grey imps jump at you at once... They have a "... Coming Soon ..." page here and a page explaining their experiments here Check it out.

Yeah, pressing return while in the subject bar seems to post news when you aren't ready :P

Fighting 20 Doom 3 imps would be nowhere near fighting 20 Doom imps .. they're stronger, take more firepower to kill and attack faster. 20 Doom 3 imps would be suicide without some big-ass weapon and alot of space to move around in :P

Yeah, I hope they lower the monster health

Hordes.

You could have hoards of power-ups and pick-up items, though.

Actually you can easily kill a Doom3 imp with a single shotgun blast. just that it spreads much more than the DOom shotgun so you need to be up close.
