Have faith!

From an astronomical point of view summer starts Monday June 21 and ends on September 23. I'm still waiting for a .plan from id before I believe anybody.

I WILL NEVER QUOTE INCREDIBLY LONG POSTS EVER AGAIN!!!


1. they meant 2005 >_> i'm sure if it.

2. this summer? yes, they mean the last day of summer.

Forgive my negative remarks, but I highly doubt that ID will release it, given what's happened in the past.

I hope to see a "gone gold" statement soon along with official word on the recommended sys specs.

My old GPU is getting unstable from wear and tear and I'll probably be forced to buy a new one anytime soon - but I want to hear from Id themselves what the best possible system is. Fan speculation is not accurate enough. With luck, the timing will be perfect.

Now I can begin to get excited about this game.

Everyone had better hurry up on their projects, or when it's finally released, they will be delayed at least a few months on account of the countless hours spent on Doom 3.

Who cares?
I'd rather have this estimate timeperiod than a sketchy and uncertain date.
