  Game Info: DOOM 3 | Multi Player | Overview
This Page has been viewed 26,362 times
Doom III is, and will always be, a core singleplayer action-game. That's why id software chose to concentrate on the singleplayer part, and let the mod-makers do the work on making Doom III a great multiplayer game. They'll be the ones to develop the different game-modes, because id software is focussing on the singleplayer part, and is making a more simple multiplayer part. We're talking basic deathmatch modes, maybe there's room (and time) for a Capture-The-Flag mode, but still not the ground-breaking multiplayer aspects we see in games like Unreal Tournament 2003 (thank god for that) or Quake 3. This is what Tim Willits and Fred Nillson from id software had to say to this in an interview at Firingsquad:

Quote:
So will it be standard deathmatch stuff or are you planning any new modes?

We're not going to break any new ground with multiplayer in Doom 3. We feel that Quake 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein are great multiplayer games. We have 17 people working with brand new technology. We want to do something better and more involved with single player, so that's where we're focusing our effort. Just this morning we were talking about expansion packs and add ons and who knows where those might take the multiplayer. It might get much more involved with the team aspects.

One of the more controversial statements concerning the Doom III multiplayer component, came from the guru himself, John Carmack at this years Quakecon. At the event he stated, that Doom III is only going to support 4 players on a server, at the time. But this statement was quickly killed by Tim Willits who said that the servers, and the engine could support more than 4 players, but that id software has chosen the small amount of players, because they feel Doom III would loose some of it's 'scaryness' and slowpaced action if 16 players were running around on the map at the same time.

A question a lot of Doom lovers wants an answer to is if Doom III will have a co-op mode implemented, and this is what Tim Willits answers to the subject:

Quote:
Can we rule out a cooperative mode then?

Yes that's definitely out.

But that doesn't mean that it's impossible to have co-op in Doom III. All it means is, that id software are not going to develop a co-op mode for Doom III, because they'll focus on singleplayer. We can be 100% sure that if it is possible to create a co-op mode for Doom III, then the mod-makers will take that job in their hands. And we'll have to rely on the mod-makers. They're the ones who could develop ground-breaking game-modes for Doom II, and they're most likely the ones who are going to implement a co-op mode in Doom III.
