Anyone else looking forward to d3 multi?

[termin@tor]

At the newegg specifications, it says it supports up to 32 players:

I know newegg is wrong on some specifications for some products, but it sounds much more believable than 4. Even if the game only supports 4 players though, I'm sure that there'll be a mod/patch to fix that within 5 hours of release

^^ ithink he was simply stating that with any game - onc you finish single player - it has to have multi! so you can truely test out your skills.

Yessir, that's what I was trying to convey.


I think the game is limited to 4 players at the moment but when the modders get ahold of it, it'll go up somewhat. I have a feeling it will be intense when you get a few people tryin to frag ya in a good old fashioned FFA.....

it's been confirmed that d3 only supports 4 players multi by id's ceo.

mods will have more, but for d3 they decided to limit it to 4 (modes arent known. probably just deathmatch and team deathmatch). i am expecting a team arena like add on for d3 to comeout in a year that will add more multiplayer action (carmack said that he programmed support for vehicles himself, allthough d3 wont have them).

raven is developing q4, not id. it will be a modified d3 engine though (probably better netcode and outdoor environments) and probably wont be out for a year or so. the story will take place where q2 left off.

anyways, carmack has allready been working on his next engine for a little while now. he was done with the d3 engine for a couple of months, they were just waiting on the game content to release the game.

For those of you complaining about Doom3 only supporting 4 player mulit, if you were old enough to play Doom, or Doom2 you will remember that both those games had 4 player multi.

As one who played tons of DM Doom (10 years ago), it's kind of nice to see id sticking to the spirit of the original games.

 

[rashly]

that doesnt mean it should be limited to 4 players. if it's limited to 32, you can still play with 4.

they should also bring back software mode and all sprites to go back to the original idea.

Key word: Old

Just because a '70 Model of a car had 120hp, that doesnt mean that the '04 version of that model should only have 120hp.

I have a hard time looking forward to multiplayer in any game unless it is co-op. The main reason for that is because I am limited to a 28.8 connection and the only real multiplayer that I can enjoy is on LAN. I think that it would be awesome if a game like Doom 3 would have enabled co-op mode, but for some reason hardly any games do this.

 

[rashly]

d3 on xbox will have co-op. not the pc though.

also, here is a link confirming the 4 player multiplayer:

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that feels like this.

Yeah, the '04 version will probably have less. 1970 was a great year for family cars with way too much horsepower.

 

[nealric]

I remember a thread "confirming" that there would be no multi.
4 plater multi is better than none.

But I agree, I at least would like the option of more. Maybe they will patch it MS style

I can't imagine the X Box version will be any good.

 

[nova7]

No, noone is looking forward to MP... LOL it's like... Are you using a computer?
No seriously though i'm looking for oldskool multiplayer, yet i'm hoping for a good mod or 2
that throws in interesting new play mechanics while still having it's doomy goodness.

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

i dunno, 149 people charging at me all at the same time...

Can just imagine the stuttering visuals now

Though, it would be nice with that many people, could have real good battles going on.

Well you think in some games 75 on 75 - but yeah now i got my x800PRO - going to try and fgind some 150 person maps to join and give it a whirl!! no sleep for me!!!

first i got to format this box!! and then tweak it - then try to overclock

I notice though on this Typoon Rising - i tried it out - put the reas to 1600 x 1200 ALL details as high as possbly - no aa and no AF - and th thing was lagging hard!

man - i am glad to see nova logic is taking their time in games!

I also hope it i just ebcause i got a crap 2.4b chip @ 3.1 and 512 of ram..lol and i did not clean out the old ati drivers when i threw this card in, could not wait
