Does anyone know what the multiplayer on Doom 3 will be like (max players, game types etc.) Also is Doom 3 shipping with any mod tools or level editors? I havn't been following Doom 3 as closely as I follow Half-Life 2.

I'm assuing probably 32 max on the PC, and 8 on xbox, maybe more but that would lag alot. I don't know about mods though... but I'll be playing half-lfie 2 online, not doom3, the frame rates aren't great for me on doom3, it woul kill the online, more fps's in half-life, so I would haev a better edge online with that then with doom3, but we'll see when I upgrade my card really... but who knows when that will be.

So you must be talking about the Beta version of Doom 3.... which is not the full thing, so you can't really tell if it's not going to run well, but I digress.

yes but they wont be able to optimize it that much, and runnign it on 800x600 for a nice solid framerate would suck.

I heard max 4 players (both xbox and pc, which is surprising for pc) a few months ago, but not quite sure anymore. id wanted to focus more on single player after they gave their fans enough multiplayer fun with quake 3.

I remeber hearing 4-8 players a year ago, I was hoping that changed.

If you want good multiplayer using id engine maybe wait for quake 4.

HL2 will probably be out first. I'm more into the HL style of multiplayer than the fragfest that is Quake.

And although id never said who was developing rtcw 2 *cough* splash damage *cough*, hopfully they might incorporate the enemy territory multiplayer in it, that would fun as hell :D
