the maps taek MUCH LESS TIME than any other 3d engine in history, ever. development should go FASTER in this respect

That just goes completely against what I've heard. Take into consideration that the mappers have to spend a LOT of time modelling every little detail in a room in Doom 3, which means that they'll have to spend much longer time working on each ROOM than before.
Just because the compile process is dead doesn't mean that the end result is faster map making.

I mean look at the fucking Doom 3 screenshots - all those pipes and nifty little things - it must take forever to do a single room.

You can't be serious in that question!
They need to do all the MAPS (and the maps take a long time to do in this engine), they need to sort out all the BUGS, they need to do all the SCRIPTED EVENTS, they need to BALANCE the weapons and monsters.

And there might even be MORE than that that they'll have to do that I didn't think of.

They already did all the maps (basic layout and architecture). They need to put in detail now, afaik.

Then they didn't "do" the maps yet - a map is theoretically speaking not done until the mapper is happy with it, so in other words:
They are still working on the maps.

Yeah, but it won't consume and endless amount of time.

Uhh how so? It ain't gonna take less time if they throw in all the details later - all the nitpicky models still have to be done.
Right?

anyone whos actually made big bsp maps know compilingtakes a lot out of work, because you have to KEEP DOING IT in order to see the changes, dooms is almost realtime

[MaCvILeWhOrE]

Maybe I might actually be able to make a map this time.........
