Doom 3 Multiplayer Stuff

[SALvation]

A nice interview at GameSpot had this as one of the questions:

GS: Will there eventually be a way for more than just four players to engage in a Doom 3 multiplayer game?

TH: That's just an artificial limit that we set. You are going to have to have a powerful server to have more than just four people playing on it. People's network connections are going to matter. Doom 3 is basically a broadband-only game. When you start adding clients, you're going to start adding traffic, and you're going to add latency and performance hits on the server. I have no doubt that one of the first mods for Doom 3 to come out will be eight-player Doom 3. But it's my guess that eight-player Doom 3 will be most effectively played on LAN servers.

Pretty interesting that they consider it a broadband only MP. Full interview is here:

Nice interview. I was also kinda woundering about Quake IV but I guess no luck. Maybe we'll here more about it after Quakecon this year or something. I just bought my copy of Doom 3 yesterday (and it came with a puter Baron of Hell figurine) im desperatly combing my house for my copy of Doom 64 cause I felt like playing it. Man oh man I can't wait.

yeah i bought mine several weeks ago an it also came wioth the baron of hell figure it's pretty cool i just can't freaking wait for DooM 3 i bought the collector series that was sold out for like months an months i never played final doom until now an i like it, i also bought The Lost Episodes of Doom book but i can't get the damn thing to work on my pc i guess because it has to be win 95 or the doom i have is not compatible with the disk that came with the book if anyone know how to install the jupiter episodes please contact me.

That's pretty much tells me this is a waste of money if you're buying it for MP.
