Multiplayer up to 16 players so far

[Lectrix]

I was reading the latest article on gamespot and they have recorded that 16 player servers are already up and running.

Quote:
" As you may have heard, Doom 3's multiplayer options are limited to just old-school, free-for-all deathmatching...for four players. Actually, though, we've got some good news on this front: We've already found multiplayer sessions that have exceeded the four-player limit--in fact, we've participated in a 16-player battle, which ran surprisingly smoothly. The game's maps even seemed well suited enough for this larger number of players."

Thought you guys might like to know.

It doesn't come much lamer than 16 player deathmatch.

A 16 player deathmatch would be insane, since there's just enough ammo, weapons, and space in the level for 4 players. I'd imagine it would quickly deteriorate into a who can spawn by the strongest weapon the fastest while everyone dukes it out with pistols.

At least it shows that they were able to set up a stable 16 player DM the day of the release. As soon as bigger maps are available, this will be a very useful option.
