Scabbed Angel Posted March 17, 2004 Has their been any mention of whether or not the denizens of Doom 3 will be able to attack one another like in the originals? Though I never really used this to my advantage, and its more of a trick that a useful gameplay option, it can be a bennifit for a skilled gamer with low ammunition. Just a pondering my mind came to thinking about its hopefully timely release. Thoughts? 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted March 17, 2004 I think this would be quite the neato indeed. I would love to see them attack each other with their new neato attacks and all. :D Speaking of which, wouldn't it be neato if you could press a button to whip out a lawn chair and popcorn? :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Skeletor Posted March 17, 2004 they can attack each other. if you watch in the e3 preview, you can see a pinky demon and something else fighting. at least i think so. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tyockell Posted March 17, 2004 Yea and what about when that Hell Knight threw a fat zombie up against a wall. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted March 17, 2004 Monster infighting was a fundamental aspect of the original games (pretty much a defining feature, IMO), and so should be preserved in some form. Perhaps it ought to be implemented in a logical way though, with some classes of bad guys (the more stupid ones) more prone to retaliating against other demons, or even attacking them unprovoked in some extreme cases. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dron Posted March 17, 2004 Obviously it will be it won't be realistic if a monster hits another monster and the demon who got hit continues attacking you as if nothing happened. btw Grazza what happened to your title? 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted March 17, 2004 Monster infighting has been used in every Id game since Doom - I don't see why it'd be left out now. And no, monster infighting never gets old, especially not when the monster AI gets a considerable update like Doom 3's supposedly have. I reckon monster infighting would look totally sweet in Doom 3 - not only because of their new attacks/behaviour, but because of the almost cinematic graphics and effects. 0 Share this post Link to post
Janderson Posted March 18, 2004 I would definately love to see a small group of pinky's go against a hell knight! Mm-mmmm! Sweeeet-a! 0 Share this post Link to post

toxicfluff Posted March 19, 2004 I really hope it does. Infighting's great, and a pretty rare thing in the mostly stagnant pool of modern shooters. 0 Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted March 19, 2004 Aww, I was hoping the demons were all friends... j/k. They have to kill one another, it's hell!!! 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted March 21, 2004 I agree that there should maybe be a chain of command in the Demons' structure - like, the lesser-intelligent Demons would be more prone to infighting, while the higher-up ones could try to "calm" their troops down - whether by screaming at them, or killing them. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted March 21, 2004 As well as degrees of intelligence, certain types of enemies could hate certain other types (e.g. Revenants could hate Mancubi) and attack them on sight, maybe even if they're already fighting the player. 0 Share this post Link to post
toxicfluff Posted March 22, 2004 In the alpha, I'm quite sure there was a segment of the monster definitions which seemed to be to do with some kind of monster rank. 0 Share this post Link to post
Weakmind Posted March 24, 2004 I hope that they attack each other... but then again, I think that doom guy should be gary Colman... IT would be funny becuase even an imp could squash him 0 Share this post Link to post

Lectrix Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah in the alpha, they do supossedly attack each other, but not very well as the imp fireballs doesn't go straight anymore. Plus the zombies should be too stupid to know the enemie has hit them, and just fall over lol. Also i hope the cyberdemon still mashes the enemies to pieces, if he's not on his own in doom 3. 0 Share this post Link to post
