Doom III

You do know that Doom 3 will not have multiplayer? Well it will but...not really. Nothing worth mentioning.

My understanding of the out-of-the-box multiplayer is that it will be 4 player max, and everyone has to join at the same time. What I get out of that, is that it will be geared to co-op play, and possibly peer-to-peer.

Thats going back a bit, you haven't had to do that since Descent 1...

Co-Op play is good but it has to be done right, with seperate storylines for each player and not only do I not believe id have it in them to produce such a game, the vast majority of gamers wouldn't have the patience to play one.

The last peer-to-peer game I played was Forsaken, and that bombed. While they would more than likely have better net code, I still don't think it would be such a hot idea to implement.

I've also heard that multiplayer may be added later, as a mission pack, perhaps that will have a client/server setup.
