This thread has been linked to the game 'Doom 3'.
Just found out that this just hit the shelves ! Think I might have to grab this. Anyone picked it up ? I'm guessing it still has online co-op.

Well lets face it, expansion packs have always been a money making scheme. ;-) Any title could be stand alone, but why do that when you can double your intake and force the gits to get the original too. :-)
Yo, I'm gonna get this - play.com don't mention co-op mode, but do say about team deathmatch and deathmatch and stuff.
Cheap, nice.
Cheap, nice.
The 8 player capture the flag could be fun. :-)

No. You need Doom3.

No. You need Doom3.
The Xbox version is standalone, yeah? Right? God tell me it's true!
EDIT: Because I haven't found anywhere that says you need the original.

Have any console games ever done this?
Anyway I think the site selling it to you would have to say that the original was required to play the game if it was indeed the case.

Sorry. I wasn't clear. PC res of evil needs the original Doom3. I highly doubt the Xbox version will need it.

I wasn't being cheeky. :)
I meant ID are dumb for having it need the original with so many popluar game 'expansions' being playable straight out the box without the original game.
Although I suppose you get it all in one package it minimises sales and forces people who've sold the original to buy it agai if they want to play the expansion.
