Web posted on 11/11/02 An early build of Doom III has been leaked onto the web, and is spreading like some sort of zombie disease.
When you're creating potentially the biggest PC game the world has ever seen, you've just got to be careful. Indeed, when we first saw Doom III from id Software, we were afraid of leakage, but of the trouser/pant kind, and not the internet kind. It seems a very early build of the game, the three-level demo from this year's E3 Expo, was leaked onto the internet last week, causing more than a few frowns chez John Carmack. No one individual or company has been blamed for the security lapse, but developer John Carmack dropped a few hints.

"No, this was not leaked on purpose," he wrote on Slashdot, a website frequented by technical types. "Yes, we are upset about it, and it will have some impact on how we deal with some companies in the future, but nothing drastic is going to change in terms of what support is going to be available." So, another company was involved in some way? Publishers Activision declined to comment, and Carmack wouldn't be drawn any further on the matter. The mystery deepens.

However, a few net-heads getting their grubby little paws on the game a few months early isn't expect to make any significant dents on the pockets of either Activision or id Software. "It won't hurt the sales of the product because it's only a couple of levels," said Mike Wallace of UBS Securities. "If the entire game had leaked out, the would be a problem... the only issue is that the game isn't polished enough and people get frustrated trying to play it."

Those in the know say finding and playing the demo isn't as easy as just searching for 'Doom 3 playable demo' in Google. Some knowledge of coding was needed to play the game, and even then you'd need a souped-up PC with top of the range graphics to actually run it. Seeing as it's still early code, the demo ran slowly, and was prone to lock-ups. Obviously the game still needs to be optimized for home PCs before its release, the same with any PC title during development.

It's like Carmack said, "making any judgements from a snapshot intended for a non-interactive demo is ill-advised." Doom III is due for release on PC and Xbox next year, click here to pre-order the PC version.

    Yeah, this is kinda old news. I got it downloaded and everything, but it wouldn't work on my computer for some reason, kept crashing before itwould even try to start up. Guess that's what you get when you try to play an alpha version. =)

    My friend got it a couple of weeks ago, it actually runs pretty well on his computer. I never got it because my computer dosen't even stand a chance of running it. If you know where to look you can get most games weeks before they come out.
