Not saying it won't be a good game, but it wouldn't have hurt if they didn't freak out so much about the code being leaked and just went ahead.
Doom 3 is going to be good though. Going to put in my watercooling so I can overclock and run it on top notch graphics  |
The leak didn't have anything to do with the delay. Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) said it was due to their extreme optimism and poor planning. The code leak bummed them out and slowed their work again, but didn't contribute to the delay.
Also, UT2k4's gameplay won't be at all similar to HL2's, and its main drawing point to alot of gamers is the continuatino of the HL2 plot, and the implementation of the physics (supposedly much better than Psi-Ops)
-edit- Also, do you have the source stating that Doom 3 went gold? There has been some hints at it, but nothing official as far as I know.
