"GameSpy: So, I'm guessing you've been playtesting a lot in the office?

Todd Hollenshead: Yeah, we have been. That's one way you can always make sure that something's fun -- if people are waiting in line at the office to playtest, then you know you've got something that is going in the right direction.

Tim Willits: It's also nice to come here [to QuakeCon], to bring multiplayer to QuakeCon to our fans. This is the world premiere of multiplayer for DOOM 3, so it gives everyone here a good chance to see it, but it also gives us a great opportunity to have 4000 people beta test our deathmatch and get some feedback from it."

"GameSpy: So in that year-plus, how has the team been adjusting to working with the new DOOM technology?

Rick Johnson: Probably the most difficult hurdles have been for the art side of the creation, because the engine requires us to create high-poly models for every single texture that goes into the game. That just adds another level of stuff we have to do to get the game out."
