iD is gradually building-up to the Doom 3 August 3
release by a variety of announcements and releases. The news coming from the developer
suggests that the Doom 3 tools and source will be released very soon after the game, with a
level editor included in the retail package.
It is a well known fact that iD not only
helps the mod community but relies on it in order to secure the longevity and continued
success of its titles and Doom 3 will be no exception. Previous titles have reaped the
benefits of a strong mod community and Doom 3 is also bound to do so. The large number of
fan sites for the game are a result of iD's good relationship with gamers and they can also
produce some news. The D3 theme tune, composed by Chris Vrenna (formerly of the Nine Inch
Nails) and Clint Walsh, can now be downloaded, in-full, from a variety of D3 fan sites. The
music adds a definite metal sound to the game but it is the intro tune and not much detail
is known about the rest of the OST. Many fans claim that the absence of Trent Reznor is
obvious and fondly reminisce the music which opened
Quake.
