Is there any word out on DooM3 multiplayer yet? 

The only multiplayer that�s supported out of the box is DeathMatch with up to 4 people. The network model has (thank god) been changed from peer2peer to client/server. MOD authors should have no problems bumping up the maximum ammount of allowed players. One of the included DM maps is a remake of Q2DM1. 

Also, it's pretty much 'broadband' only, since the clients will need to know not only the position/movement of other players but of all the physics objects too.

(And it's by Splash Damage) 

so I'm assuming you'll have a good opportunity to frag happily in a lag free environment at uni eh?

I'm thinking the same will be happening here at work, although it looks like I'll be playing the singleplayer here after hours, as my pc isn't up to running it (256mb ram, gf2mx) :( 

TeamDM, as well as a mode called Last Man Standing. Pretty self explanitory (sp). I think it was shipping with 5-7 dm maps if I remember correctly. 

Uni? Nah, I dropped out, however, I'm pretty sure my home connection can handle it (4Mib is good enough right? :) 

actually read someone recently.. MP supports 16 players out of the box. But most of the included maps where designed around 4-6 players and would be crowded with a large player load. 

i read an interview with some id guy (maybe duffy?) and he said it would only support 4 players, but he thought one of the first mods that would come out would be 8-player Doom deathmatch.

also, nice connection Nonentity! 

Every single interview with the id guys since the gold announcement has said it will be limited to 4 players out of the box.

However, that'll be changed in a mod about 3 seconds after the SDK is released. 

who needs any more players eh?

2on2 is great since it's not quite as intensely stressful as 1on1 and has teamplay thrown in for more fun. I like it anyway.

Petty only the xbox version supports coop. Does anyone know if the xbox coop is separate coop only maps, or if the regular singple player game is coopable? 

Now, you lucky overseas like American type people,

You just never know ........................ 

However, that'll be changed in a mod about 3 seconds after the SDK is released.

maybe 5 seconds as its a more complex game. 

You won't be able to play more than 4 players over the net most likely, since doom3 requires a lot of data to be transfered to each client (because of the physics). So that 8 player mod will probley only be useful for lan games. 

Turkey-Punching went gold!

what sort of turkey punching game requires 8 buttons? 

 

a sprite-based arcade game in 2145 would be a bit like walking into a modern arcade and dropping �1 to play with a wooden ball and a stick. 

You mean Ultra Croquet Challenge 4000? Honestly, I think I might enjoy it. 

"[19:55:07] <+slidez> this game is scary
[19:55:08] <+slidez> :(
[19:55:16] <+ziper> not at 4fps :P" 

Well it's certainly the first game that has convinced me I'm going insane.

Not that I'd d/l it anyway, I pre-ordered it afterall 

And I will have it in my greedy little hands :) 

I'm going to demonstrate my indifference to it by not buying it for a week or two...




...either that or I can't afford it this week.
