* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Unlike the Marine in the classic games, both the Marine in ''3'' and the Engineer in ''Resurrection of Evil'' go bare-headed. Which makes it a little jarring whenever you go out on the surface of Mars; you're told that your suit should have enough oxygen to get you by, which makes no sense as you're never seen putting on a helmet or even a mask. Averted by the Marine in ''The Lost Mission''; he's never shown in cutscenes, but the game's artwork depicts him wearing a helmet.

* EverythingFades: In the first two ''Doom'' games the bodies of enemies stick around forever. In ''Doom 3'', demons disappear in a fizzly animation. This was probably to lighten the load on the game's engine and RAM usage by cutting down on rendered objects. Some mods do undo this and the bodies of humans and zombies generally remain, unless damaged to the point they disintegrate.

Just like in the original game, you're a [[NoNameGiven nameless]], [[HeroicMime silent]], {{Badass}} SpaceMarine, who has just been assigned to the Union Aerospace Corporation's base on UsefulNotes/{{Mars}}. Initially, the UAC was only on Mars to {{Terraform}} it and make the planet habitable, but their initial efforts turned up underground artifacts and structures belonging to an ancient Martian civilization. Shifting their focus to unearthing and learning more about this civilization, the UAC then discovered ancient writings with the key to a powerful teleportation technology and went about developing it, a project headed by the creepy and mysterious [[BigBad Dr. Malcolm Betruger.]] Upon developing this technology, the UAC discovered that it was the gateway to what seemed to be an entirely different dimension - one that just might be {{Hell}} itself.
Upon arriving on Mars and reporting to your sergeant, you are given your first task: find a scientist who has gone missing in the old communications facility. At first glance, the place and assignment seem [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere as dull as dirt]], but as you speak to other marines and workers during your search, the creepier things start to seem. Many employees seem frightened and paranoid, and then there's the fact that the whole reason you were assigned here in the first place was to replace another Marine who died during an operation. By the time you find the scientist, things are already creepy enough. But then Hell literally breaks loose, and you find yourself as one of the few people left alive in a base rapidly being overrun with grotesque monsters and demonic imagery. It's up to you to locate and aid any survivors, find the source of the outbreak and stop it, and fight to stay alive.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The Limited Collector's Edition of ''Doom 3'' on the Xbox [[EmbeddedPrecursor includes the two previous games]]. It also added a ''second'' secret level to the first episode in ''Ultimate Doom'' and another secret level in ''Doom II''. It also includes an slideshow of ''Doom 3''[='=]s concept art, an episode of Creator/{{G4|TV}}'s ''Icons'' on id Software, and interviews with the developers.

* RegeneratingHealth: Inverted in ''Doom 3''[='=]s [[HarderThanHard Nightmare]] difficulty, where your health constantly decreases by five points every five seconds until it hits 25.
* RidiculousFutureSequelisation: A PDA message in ''Doom 3'' says "The new Quake-43 game blows my mind."
* ScenicTourLevel: In ''Doom 3''. Unlike most examples, they give you a gun and even allow you to murder your co-workers even ''before'' things go to hell.
* SequenceBreaking: Memorizing some of the security codes in ''Doom 3'' and ''Resurrection of Evil'' can do anything from unlocking powerful weapons early to circumventing an entire PDA hunt.

In fact, this is actually a ''smart'' thing to do, as many of the civilians in the intro sequence become zombies. One of the cruelest is activating a machine that will strip or melt the flesh off a scientist's bones, complete with a few seconds of horror and terror as the scientist realizes what is about to happen to him. In the BFG Edition, this one gets you an achievement.

* ArtificialBrilliance: The enemy's combat A.I. is very simple, but their path-finding A.I. is actually remarkably well-done; if you use an elevator or ladder to escape from a charging enemy, they can actually circle around the entire map to make their way to your new location. This is only noticeable if you go out of your way to toy with the A.I., however.

to:
An expansion pack called ''Resurrection of Evil'' was released in 2005, and takes place 2 years after the original story.
The game was adapted into two novels by Matthew J Costello.
!Doom 3 contains examples of:
* AncientAstronauts: [[spoiler:Earth had been colonized by ancient Martians -- who seems to be humanoid creatures with the same size and width as Humans -- who teleported there to escape a demonic invasion. Some scientists ask themselves if the Martians are ancestors of Mankind.]]
* BlackoutBasement: Some of the areas.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Definitely darker (har har), but it includes a storyline and several [=PDAs=] one can find to expand on how Hellish (har har) UAC became. It also introduces a lot more SurvivalHorror elements and contains jump scares, and makes combat a bit slower.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: A common interpretation of the vague ending of ''Resurrection of Evil''. By the climax, every single person besides the marine and Dr. [=McNeil=] is dead. [=McNeil=] orders the marine to shut down all the core systems in Phobos Labs, [[HeroicSacrifice including the life support system]], to power up the old teleporter so he can reach the old Delta Labs and eventually Hell itself to return the artifact and stop the invasion. After battling his way through the demons, the marine reaches Betruger/Maledict and is mortally wounded in the battle, but manages to destroy him with the artifact using his last ounce of strength. As the screen fades to white, [=McNeil=]'s voice can be heard saying "Marine, welcome home", implying that the two are in a better place for their sacrifice.
* ExplodingBarrels: Has a variant on these with the yellow toxic barrels. Once you shoot them, they simmer for a couple seconds before exploding (though they will explode automatically if caught in the splash of another explosive).
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: Hell is this, mixed with pulsating flesh and rivers of blood.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels
** ''Recruit'': damage taken reduced to 60%, less enemies;
** ''Marine'': normal damage taken, normal enemy rate;
** ''Veteran'': damage taken increased to 170%; slightly higher enemy rate;
** ''[[HarderThanHard Nightmare]]'': damage taken increased to ''three hundred percent'', more enemies, and your health constantly decreases to 25 points no matter what. Know that shiny Soul Cube you got at the start of the game? ''You '''will''' need it''.
* MadScientist: Dr. Malcolm Betruger, to [[spoiler:literally diabolic levels]].
* MeatMoss: Some areas are covered with, for lack of a better word, flesh masses that look like turds. If you shoot them, they sound like steel.
* MedievalStasis / SchizoTech: A very strange example. It's 2145, humanity has an established base on Mars, has mastered plasma technology, and is foraying into the science behind atomic structure (the MFS Compactor comes to mind) and teleportation... yet:
** The most commonly found storage medium is a square-foot disk with capacity for only a few minutes of video and/or audio.
** Security forces lack any kind of enhanced vision, being forced to rely on hand-held flashlights[[note]]granted, the [[InfiniteFlashlight static transfer power supply]] is an advancement, but still[[/note]] (armor-mounted in ''BFG Edition'') with very bad quality reflectors full of artifacts and dark spots.
** All projectile-based weapons seem to use '''black powder''' given ''just how much smoke'' they produce per shot.
** All UAC workers must use a standard issue PDA that is clunkier and less versatile than most of the cheapest tablets you can find in 2012.
* MookMaker: The Archviles, not limited by the number of corpses. Mostly because of EverythingFades.
* OnlySixFaces: Only has a handful of faces for the various human [=NPCs=], which are re-used frequently. This is most noticeable in the opening ScenicTourLevel, where you can find two guys with the exact same head standing in the same room.
* OneWingedAngel: By the end of ''Doom 3'', [[spoiler:Betruger]] is transformed into a demonic dragon. In ''Resurrection of Evil'', [[ThatOneBoss he puts up a hell of a fight with his new powers]].
* TheStoic: The marine. Never shows any form of emotion on his face, even fear, just frowns when new sorts of monsters appear. The only time he shows fear is when he meets the Cyberdemon.
* StupidEvil: Dr. Malcolm Betruger, who apparently has no actual motive for attempting to transform Earth into Hell and its people into screaming demon-fodder. It is implied, however, that he has been possessed or is in some way controlled by the demons. The novels indicate he was an ordinary scientist who was subject to MoreThanMindControl, alternatively ''The Lost Mission'' campaign indicates he always had an obsession with the occult and was offered ultimate power by the demons in exchange for Earth.
* TeleporterAccident ** A PDA Audio entry details a lab monkey being split in half. Literally. The upper half went there and the lower half stayed behind.
* UniqueEnemy: In the second level you encounter a "fast zombie" in the infirmary. It can run almost as fast as you can, and would have made a pretty challenging enemy if encountered in large numbers. The one you see in the infirmary is the only one in the entire game, with all other zombies being the standard "slow shambling" type.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: All of the survivors you meet in can be straight up murdered either for giggles or to charge the [[HarderThanHard nightmare mode]] item; you can even do this ''before'' the demonic invasion begins. In fact, this is actually a ''smart'' thing to do, as many of the civilians in the intro sequence become zombies. One of the cruelest is activating a machine that will strip or melt the flesh off a scientist's bones, complete with a few seconds of horror and terror as the scientist realizes what is about to happen to him. In the BFG Edition, this one gets you an achievement.
* VillainBeatingArtifact: The original version requires that the player use the Soul Cube to take care of the final boss Cyberdemon. This was changed both in later patches of single-player mode and in co-op mode.
