Doom 3 Goes Gold (Warning - Spoilers Within)

That's not geek, that's retarded. No big difference though.

And back to topic, I'm at this spider queen thingy in Doom 3. I think it's Alpha labs 4 or something. Anyway, she pwned me in 5 seconds by throwing spores at me, even though I pinned her down with nades. Any tips? Please, go easy on the spoilers.
 
First, enter the room with the chaingun or plasma rifle equiped. If you don't have the plasma gun yet go find it, it's on the same level. As soon as the cut scene ends hold down whatever key you have "sprint" bound to ("shift" by default) and strafe until you get your bearings. Keep sprint down the entire time you are fighting her and don't stop moving. Unload the plasma gun into her, when it's empty switch to the chaingun so you don't have to wait to reload. When that's empty switch back to the plasma rifle rifle and keep blasting until it's dead.

Tossing a few grenades at the start might help too, though I think it would waste too much time. I've read that a few shotgun blasts to the face will take her down but I don't think getting that close is a good idea. Don't worry about having really low health after the fight, just beat her - trust me.

Oh yeah, the spore pods on the ground will damage you so don't run into them.
 
yeah, just keep strafing at full speed and dont bother with reloading, just switch to next gun

didnt gimme much trouble on veteran, still gotta play on nightmare though...
 
k, I'll try it out. Finding the plasma rifle will be tough, but I'll try. Thanks.

*EDIT* Got the cunt. Using grenades isn't a good idea, as they tend to blow up on the spores right next to you. But when she noticed I dodged her spores, she charged right at me and threw me to the other side of the room, blocking me against the wall and starting to hit me. I emptied my plasma rifle in her face.
 
I may get flammed for this, but I have been playing PC games for years and have borrowed many classics from friends so my opinion is pretty well put together...

I am VERY disappointed by Doom 3! Yes the sound and graphics are great in instilling fear, but as I remember the original Doom only let you be afraid when you were mowing your enemies down trying not to back into a corner or run outta ammo. There was little stealth or much else, just run-and-gun action! Now that may sound weird as a complaint coming from an RPG fan who likes long, drawn-out stories, but seriously every now and then you just gotta shoot something (or someone) to release the tension. Doom 3 is just tense and slow. Sorry to say it...

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
 
slow? you do know that is you that controls the speed of the game right?

if it's slow, simply run through it at full speed...

doom3 doesnt releave enough tension for you? aw, come on. chainsaw + zombies = braindead the movie. hell, you can even easily take down imps with that chainsaw...
 
Chainsaw is the ultimate weapon on everything/one except the rocket skelletons.
Im very dissapointed in the weapons sounds. Sounds like something outta CS.
 
well, i was most disappointed to read the gatling was supposed to be .30 calibre

the thing looks and feels huge. broad barrels and stuff, then it turns out it's only .30 cal
 
*up* *up* *up*

Well, to be fair, a larger caliber chaingun would crush the Marine under the massive recoil.

But don't tell that to the Super Mutants.
