DOOM 3 multiplayer networking info - interview
(hx) 02:58 AM CEST - Jul,17 2004 - Post a comment / read (1)
GameSpy has posted a brief interview with id Software programmer Robert Duffy as he talks about the multiplayer in DOOM3. He confirmed that DOOM 3's multiplayer is no longer based on a peer-to-peer model. Here is an excerpt:

GameSpy: Are there any plans to release a dedicated server?

RD: The Win32 dedicated server works out of the box and the dedicated Linux version should be available around when the game hits store shelves. That does not mean it will be available but it should be.

GameSpy: What are the current player-hosting capabilities of the game? Is it still designed around 4 players, or has that been expanded?

RD: DOOM 3 multiplayer is based around 4 players; however, internally it is not limited to that. Mod teams will be able to support more.

In addition, the official DOOM3 website has been relaunched (thanks Tiscali Games), offering news, content, and links.
