I have not seen any official relases from id Software themselves. However, several online game resellers such as EB Games and Gamestop are listing Doom 3's release date as August 3, 2004. Right around the time we should be seeing a handful of other FPS games. If this is true, Doom 3 will hit the shelves before Half-Life 2 does. Strategy move? Well, if it is true, let's hope id Software isn't trying to meet this delivery date at the cost of game quality.
