Zoorado Posted July 24, 2003 Posted here: doomworld.com (top news) Do you believe it? I can't, especially when none other source on the Net has even mentioned about it... But if it's true, then I'm all hyped up for it. Go for it; go for id! 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted July 24, 2003 Heh, great news that they're putting more effort into the multiplayer. It's welcome. And could it be the explanation as to why the game's (possibly) getting delayed? 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted July 24, 2003 Where does it say that they'll put more work into multiplayer? 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted July 24, 2003 Disorder said:Where does it say that they'll put more work into multiplayer? According to what we've heard so far, multiplayer features would've been minimal or none in the initial release of the game, possibly to be added later with an expansion. But now they have an entire team (although 2nd part) working on the multiplayer mode. 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted July 24, 2003 Yes, but it says nothing else then Splash making levels for Doom 3 multiplayer. But it could mean that they will increase the amount of players per map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted July 24, 2003 Yeah, Splash Damage, the guys of RTCW : ET, are the guys working on the MP portion of Doom 3, or at least the maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

Disorder Posted July 24, 2003 True. It seems like they're putting more effort in multiplayer since a lot of gamers critized ID for not paying much attention to it. It might even be better to fight with a maximum of 4 players after all, although I can understand why people don't like the idea of it. It sounds boring, but it might be really scary. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted July 24, 2003 Interesting. I'd rather have a simultaneous online release as well, though I'm sure those crazy leather-clad Leak Thiefs will come up with something. 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted July 24, 2003 Haha... if an MP build gets leaked onto the net... heh. Although I'm guessing security would be Uber-tight. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think this definitely explains what they have been doing with their time. They were making a big mistake trying to release it without multiplayer in todays environment. I bet the conversation went something like, Carmacks playing doom with is id buddies, mulitplayer and goes "no way are we releasing this *without* multiplayer". Anyway how can i get tickets to quakecon? 0 Share this post Link to post

The_Aeromaster Posted July 25, 2003 If this is, indeed, the SOLE reason the game is delayed, if it really is delayed (I know these are alot of "if"s), I will seriously fuck someone up. 0 Share this post Link to post
