It's about what I expect from any first person shooter out there... good graphics and fairly redundant gameplay. Wander through level, pick up good weapons, kill bad guys. I've been bored with the Genre since Quake 3 came out and was exactly like Quake 2 which was exactly like Quake 1 which was exactly like Doom 2 which was exactly like Doom 1 which was exactly like Wolfenstein... except with graphics quality improving each generation.
Obviously that's a bit of an oversimplification, there were incremental improvements to gameplay in each succeeding generation... but they've reached an impasse imo... there's been no compelling new gameplay developments in the last two generations, just prettier graphics.
Sad to say but other than a big jump in graphics quality, it appears Doom III is going to be more of the same. Half Life 2 on the other hand... if it can deliver anything close to the demo it will raise the bar on gameplay to new heights. I've got my fingers crossed.
