F.E.A.R. is a much better game in my books. I think Doom 3 is worth the play though but unless you have money burning I would pick up F.E.A.R. and perhaps grab Doom 3 when its on sale.

here is a wallpaper from mech 4 (i wish they would make mech 5)

i know its not related but hey

 

[rockfnbttm]

Doom 3 is now $20, a real good price. But overall, FEAR is a much better game.

 

[spawn]

that cts getting a lil to touchy for an fps

 

[fatal1ty_fan]

nobody like the crash or the mech

 

[spawn]

they nice but not really screenshots, wallpaper and pic

that crash is pretty sick though, hes ganna be felling that one later

 

[fatal1ty_fan]

yeah i know that they arent screen shots but hey



how do u take screenshots and then find them

 

[spawn]

depends on the game and if it lets

u can always hit print screen and post it in paint after

for steam games its in your games folder
ex. cs:source
c://..../steamapps/account name/cs:source/cstrike/screenshots
and there a key under options to take them, default is F5 for steam games

what about quake 4

 

[Geoff]

Heres one from Age of Empires III:

 

[Blue]

what about quake 4

If its Quake 4 then you hit F12 and they are saved in "C:\Program Files\id Software\Quake 4\q4base\screenshots" You have to change the format though as you will find them in .tga and winders viewer etc. don't allow you to view the format.

You could also use fraps to take the screenshots and choose the format like .jpg.

 

[skidude]

Just use the "print screen" button and go into paint and hit paste. However, some games have a take screenshot button and it just saves it to a game folder.

 

[Blue]

The problem with the print screen button is that you can take just one screenshot at a time, You then have to leave game and open MSPaint and paste then save and yada yada. See how long and frankly a pain in the butt this is? .... When a game has a screenshot button you can take many screenshots while your playing which is much more convenient.

 

[Geoff]

Most new games allow you to press a button such as F5 to take a screen shot. If not, then there are tons of 3rd party software that allows you to do that.

 

[skidude]

Like fraps... I never knew of the screenshot button in games until HL2, so all my Doom 3 screens (20 somethin of em) were taken with the print screen button.

Ouch . That must have been a pain in the ars.
