    I thought Doom3 didn't have multiplayer? (Score:2, Informative)

    How is an incorrect thought informative? Doom 3 has multiplayer. This has been known for almost a year now.

    It has multiplayer deathmatch with, I believe, up to a whopping 4 players.

    Only the XBox version has cooperative mode, unfortunately.

    Oh, and going to id.com won't help you much. idsoftware.com, on the other hand, is probably what you're looking for.

    You obviously have never been to a Gaylord hotel if you insist on making fun of the name. Their hotels are some of the largest and niceset on the planet. www.gaylordhotels.com

    if you had RTFA you would know that this is the first time that people will have played Doom3 multiplayer (even the leaked beta didn't have that).

    Doom3 is still going to be released after quakecon. This tournament doesn't affect the release date.

    The Doom3 tournament is played on QuakeCon supplied computers, and they'll be able to run Doom3 without any problem.

    No, no. Online registration began back on April 14th, 2004. It was full in about a day.

    However, there is a waiting list. When you get there there will be two huge lines snaking around the walls. The smaller line is for those who've pre-registered, while the other snakes around entire second floor of the place, each player hoping for a spot in the grand ballroom.

    For those who haven't registered and wish to attend, be sure to get there EARLY. And I mean 5AM or earlier if you wish to get in.

    Good thing I got registered 30 minutes after it began...
