DOOM 3 Hints

I'm in the Satellite Control Center. Should I transmit or not?

  • 1 of 6: When you approach the big console in the back with the yellow card reader and start the decryption sequence, Counselor Swann will appear on a nearby screen and advise you to cancel the transmission.
  • 2 of 6: You can then click on either "Transmit" or "Cancel" on the screen, depending on what you decide to do.
  • 3 of 6: Neither choice is a game-stopper, and you can play on to the end either way.
  • 4 of 6: Personally, I think Swann makes more sense due to the fact that the demons could conceivably infest any ships that come to the rescue and then take them to Earth.
  • 5 of 6: Of course, Sergeant Kelly isn't going to be happy if you disobey his orders to send the transmission. Well, tough universe, Sargie ol' kid.
  • 6 of 6: NOTE: If you choose not to send the transmission, Dr. Bertruger will just do it himself later on, so don't worry about any big gameplay differences.
