I will give Doom 3 credit for the map editor, that was fun to use but it still has nothing on Hammer.

The models are low poly due to the game being playued on lower end pc's and to hardware constraints. If the models were like 6000+ polys it would impact performance even more. Same thing goes for the textures, the textures have bumpmapping and specular highlights, most textures in this game are not one texture its around 3 layered on top of one another. Again another hardware constraint, if the textures were higher res it would most likely flood the 256mb of ram on todays graphics cards.
Give me a clue on how bumpmaps are poorly done? This is one of few games that uses bumpmaps a shitload, theres no way theyre poorly done.
Take a look at these and tell me the bumpmapping in doom 3 is badly done,

Full settings, actual fps was a constant 60 but it hops down when i take screens.
Compared to this, no specular, no bumpmap and no shadows
