id Software and Activision send along word that they have released two new multiplayer maps for DOOM 3 for the Microsoft Xbox.

Christmas comes early for DOOM fans thanks to id Software and Activision, Inc’s release of two all-new multiplayer maps for DOOM 3 for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. The new, exclusive levels titled Communications and Surface are readily available for download via Xbox Live and are sponsored by the newly released DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil for the Xbox. Rated a 90% or higher by over 65 gaming publications, DOOM 3 for Xbox was co-developed by Vicarious Visions and id Software, and is currently available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $29.99 and is rated “M” (Mature) by the ESRB.

Communications – A receiving area warehouse providing storage and distribution for the Communication sector on Mars, Communications is home to long corridors and dark corners, and is perfect for surprising enemy players from the shadows or taking them out head-on, so gamers will have to keep on their toes to survive in this dangerous environment.

Surface – A lonely section of the Mars UAC base left exposed to the elements of the Martian environment, Surface is a multi-tiered industrial yard centered between two external gates, where a vast amount of pipes and platforms criss-cross over a large section of the Martian surface, helping any player bring death from above. Players must be quick, agile and skilled at shooting on the fly to win.

Although multiplayer gaming is not compatible between both titles, the Communications and Surface multiplayer maps are just two of seven all-new fast-paced multiplayer maps included in the newly released DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil for Xbox. Co-developed by Nerve Software and id Software, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil for Xbox is currently available at retail outlets nationwide for a suggested retail price of $29.99.

I actually like playing Doom 3 online on the xbox. Ending of the game was really dumb though. Still might pick up the expansion just to see how it is.

I didn't care for the multiplayer at all. Ditched my copy a week after I beat it.

Were there any coop mods released and has anyone tried them? This would be the only case I'd be remotely interested in trying out Doom multi.

PC only please. After going through the gestapo XBLive cancellation process, my knees will never recover.

Doom 3 had co-op but I hear Reserection won't. It's too bad because I'd buy it just for that. I've played through the co-op game more times than I can count it's a tonne of fun, just wish I could up the difficulty.

On the other hand, Doom 3 death match = teh suck. Wow, never thought I'd be saying that about an Id game, let alone one in the doom series.
