Re: DOOM
Guys, this game is something else. I mean, I ain't scared of nothin', I can stroll around in abandoned buildings at night, hang out in supposedly haunted cemetaries, serve papers in crack-house nieghborhoods, nothing bothers me. But this game totally creeps me out. Between the spooky sounds, and the realistic environments, and monsters jumping out and attacking me all over the place, I can play for a couple of hours at night in here by my self, and my BP is up so high I can't sleep the rest of the night!<br /><br />For those who are getting the game but don't have it yet, I will offer these tips:<br /><br />Save Often- Death comes swiftly in the game, so save a lot!<br /><br />Conserve Ammo- There never seems to be enough ammo around, so get good at using your hand grenades, and only shoot when your target is in your sights (they turn red)!<br /><br />Steer/Aim with your mouse- Steering with the direction keys is fine until you have to shoot at mulitple targets, plus you can't look up / down with the arrow keys, so the experience gets more realistic if you use the mouse because you can walk around and look up and down naturally. Also, aiming with the mouse is key since you will need to aim down at your feet sometimes!<br /><br />Flashlight toggle- Use the "F" key to toggle the flashlight on and off. Use the flashlight to locate items sitting in the dark! The "F" key allows you to toggle from the light to your last used weapon quickly.<br /><br />Reload- You reload your weapon by pressing the "R" key. It is better to do this when you are not engaged in a firefight, because reloading while you're under attack is lethal....to you.<br /><br />Brightness- I reset the brightness level on my game becuase the default was just too dark for me to see anything, and you can't walk through the whole game with your flashlight in your hand.<br /><br />Tight Spots- By pressing the "C" key you crouch down and crawl. You can crawl into little areas around machinery, and in tunnels, and under stairs etc. Do this to find extra med kits and ammo and other useful items.<br /><br />Well thats about it. Enjoy the game.
