'Official' DOOM 3 Thread

[krondike]

"It will hit the shelves officially on August 5th, though it may be possible for you to find the game a few days before at your local retailer if you live in the US. For Europe, UK will get it first on August 6th with the other regions to follow until August 13th." (source: gamershell)

The big question I've heard somewhere in the forum, should we expect Starforce 3 protection?

Activision is the publisher of the doom 3 game thingy. And what game and protection dose this company have publish earlier?

Call of Duty - SafeDisc 3
Shrek 2 - SafeDisc 3 (uk) (N/A - US)
Spiderman 2 the game - N/A
True Crime: Streets of L.A. - SafeDisc 3
Total War - SafeDisc 2 (they only license 1 so far title and that's Medival, the first shogun is license under EA Games)
Tony Hawk 4 - N/A (serial)

N/A seams to be popular and it means none protectio at all.

So what should we excepect gold sold, multi wanted titled Doom 3?
Well it have sold gold, so why should it be starforce 3 protected? They make a bunch of money without any futher ads or other things. They got plenty of fans witch will buy the game (that's why they sold gold).
I realy and I mean realy think we could expect SafeDisc 3 with CD-checks in it.
Doubt that Activision have buy other protection license, becuase most of the titles have sold very good. And I doubt that they would'nt risk to not protect the game, becuase then a flow of pirated copies will flowing around.

SecuROM seams not to be there thingy, becuase I could'n find one single game that have been SecuROM protected by Activion.

Serial protection? Yeah, like hell, think doom 3 also have a multiplayer part, so multiplayer = own serial.

So those who want to backup there untouched doom 3 disc, EXPECT SafeDisc 3 with CD-Checks and Serial (with's is not a thing to backup on a cd). If it is, Starforce 3, then GOD luck, but the odds are 1:700000 bilion.

How to back SafeDisc 3 protection, CD-Checks and other type of knowing and backup protection can be found in my backup guide. Use the search button and you find it!

My mate works for activision and he says that "it will have starforce 4 ultra turbo edition on it so if you try and copy it, your pc will blow up and your mothers head will spin round and round and she will start dancing round the kitchen like a chicken clucking her arms and screaming dooooooooom doooooom until her heart explodes and she dies on the kitchen floor".
Some how i think he was telling some pork pies and i think we should just wait until its released and wait and see what turns up! ;D lol
