Doom 3: New Information

I wonder how accurate this information, even though it's taken from a print mag, it's still Polish

But 30 sounds like the right amount of levels for me, as Doom 2 had 30 levels (+2 hudden of course). Absence of multiplayer system at launch is however somewhat disappointing, and I hope it's not true. And that thing about ATI's tech not being implemented... My guess it's ATI's punishment for (supposedly) leaking that recent Doom 3 alpha.

That doesn't sound like "no multiplayer"!

What's unclear is whether MP will be in the box or not. It will either be in the box or in a patch. PERIOD! It is not whether there will be multiplayer or not. Some people here need reading comprehension lessons...

id did the same thing with co-op mode in Quake 2 and that turned out great.

The exclusion of tru-form was decided before the ati leak. Carmack himself said that it wouldn't work correctly with the engine, so you can't really argue with him.

ID has said several times that a simple MP feature will be included, but by the time doom 3 gets released I'm sure there will be plenty of awesome games that are only centered on MP. Sure Doom 3 has awesome graphics, but I'm pretty sure other games will be more fun in MP.
