<br><blockquote><i><p>Taipei, Taiwan, 18 April 2005 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today released VIAVGA DM1 XP and VIAVGA DM2 XP, two custom made multiplayer maps for DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil, the sequel to the stunning FPS game from id Software.</p>
<p>
Created by noted mapper Josh ‘b0rg’ Holmes, the editor of VIA’s official games website VIA Gamers Arena, both maps are considerably modified versions of the highly successful custom-made DOOM 3 Deathmatch maps, VIAVGA DM1 and VIAVGA DM2 launched last year and made available on prominent hardware magazine CDs as well as various websites.</p>
<p>
Built specifically for the DOOM 3 expansion pack, ‘Resurrection of Evil’, these new maps have been optimized and modified in numerous ways, including lighting and detail adjustments. Both the double-barrel shotgun and gravity-based ‘Grabber’ gun have been incorporated, as well as various objects that can be picked up and used as missiles. Extensive adjustments have also been made to spawn locations, weapon and item placements to create a whole new feel to the action. </p>

“The tremendous popularity of VIA’s first custom maps for Doom 3 compelled me to update them for Resurrection of Evilâ€
