Now, where have we heard that before?
At dotslash, zonk posts that segafreak have found on some random location on The Internets (probably on Digg, in a story reported by theguz4l, who himself stole the story from various internet forums) that at ShackNews, some pothead named Chris Remo wrote something about the game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Shadow of Chernobyl" containing "unlicensed assets" from other "games" such as "Doom 3" and "Half Life 2".
Some dude that calls himself "Todd Hollshead" (now that's a name George Carlin would love to make fun of!), apparently COE of id Software, has said to some other schmuck that:
"I've seen a post on a web forum that claims DOOM3 assets are used in another game, but we've been working hard on Enemy Territory: Quake Wars as well as our own internal project and have not had the time to fully investigate or otherwise verify that the claim is true. Only from what I've seen on the Web, it's concerning. However, it may turn out to be nothing."
My immediate reaction to his babbling was: OMG!! this guy sound exactly like Darl McBride!!
