DOOM 3 will use P2P System?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-I'm-fragged-on-it dept.

Ant writes "From Page 6 of FiringSquad's QuakeCon 2002 Postmortem article: John Carmack said something at the end of the Q&A about how the multiplayer will be only four players? Tim: After 2 hours of talking up at the podium, sometimes you leave a few details out. Doom 3 multiplayer will be fully scalable. It will be a peer to peer system. We haven't started working on it yet. Tell everyone not to panic - it will be fine. John just forgot to mention it'll be scalable past four players. It's hard to give a hard number because we haven't started working on it yet. Right now we're focused on making Doom 3 a kickass, over the top single player game."

    This proves my suspicions that "gamers" are pirates and perverts. trolling is so much easier than being clever.

    "Taking a cue from the RIAA, the gaming industry will attempt to place fake opponents onto the networks. These oppenents (bots) will appear normal, but will repeat themselfs after about 30 seconds."

    After all, are not all peer-to-peer networks for the explicit purpose of infringing upon the rights of the owners?

    I expect an all-out war against this blatant attempt to further the cause of the criminal "filesharers", and I would expect nothing less than Congress to demand its ceasation.

    So this means the RIAA can hack into Doom servers when players exchange maps? I hope they enjoy Martian moons...

    A game that can warez itself!

    (Yes, I know what peer networking really means in the context of the article, but it wasn't funny that way.)
