    Dunno if this deserves a new thread but if it doesnt just merge etc :)

    Basically its a clien-server with a max of 4 players.
    However the engine can handle more than 4 so modders have freedom.

    Some stuff covered here

    Splinter Cell only had 2-4 players didn't it?


    If they put in a Co-Op mode on the PC they'll have my money on launch, regardless of whether I can play it on my machine or not.

    BatBat - 4 players is not lame. You are a narrow-minded fool if you think that.

    There'll be plenty of scope for larger-player games, but if the gametype and levels don't suit 192-player teams, it's gonna suck aswell.
    When you look at the detail of player models and levels, having 3 of them running around your screen shooting pretty balls of pixel-shaded death and your machine is just about coping, you're going to be very grateful.

    Lets reserve judgement until we actually play the game, either way its looking good

    I wont eb bothering with MP on this game at all, finish single player, give it back, max of 4 people means even a small gather will fill a server pretty much guarenteed, even a gather at 4 in the morning, why bother if theres no co-op? :(

    It's almost guarentee'd that someone will make a mod to expand the multiplayer.

    I think id plans to use Quake 4 (avec le Doom3 engine) as a multiplayer platform rather than Doom 3 itself.
