So um... server is coming, right?

[Mr.Reak]

Well I pre-ordered Doom III (there is amazing thread about it, started by amazing me.. so amazing), and after I will be finished with single-player, I will gladly check out multiplayer side. So uhm, HL2.net, you guys will be setting up the server, am I right? AM I RIGHT?

I've been saying since a few months ago that we gotta get together and play some deathmatch, so I'm in.

I think you should set it up....

 

[Mr.Reak]

No no no, HL2.net got super-puper hosting now, so they can do it

 

[Pressure]

HL2.net better host a server or I will kill.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

i hope HL2.net has a Doom3 server or two
its gonna be kickass

 

[thehunter1320]

hmm.. how about HL2.net having a (wait for it) HL2 server?

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

No no no, HL2.net got super-puper hosting now, so they can do it

I hope you know, limelight networks, doesn't host game servers.

I would actually love that to happen. I think that would be fantastic.


One big happy family of FPS fans.

Wait a little while.

I was talking to Munro about this the other day as someone wanted to host a Soldat server and run it as an official server, and unfortunately HL2.net will not be endorsing any servers for games other than HL2. We host a CS one at the moment, but if the spec is still good enough for that server it will eventually become the www.cs-source.net CS Source server for our sister site

Obviously this may change in the future, but that's the stance we have on it at the moment.

Also, because we have no funding (apart from the Googleads which as most will know, aren't a big pay out), there is just no way we could afford such a thing anyway. Bare with us, we're concentrating on some other things first that will eventually lead into us being able to do more

It should also be mentioned that, going by what's been said by Id so far, the mp aspect will be similar to RTS games anyway, where it's not really server/client. Instead all the players must go into the games waiting room and the game must be launched with all of them there.

Not sure if they changed this, but that's how it was up until last year at least.

Oh wow. www.cs-source.net eh!!

What about... www.dod-source.net

 

[Mr.Reak]

Mkay ... well when game comes out, let's make a sticky and time people can play or something.

 

[Alec_85]

D3 MP is only for 4 players right? Small servers... 1 wouldn't be enough by far.

Edit: Oh saw Chris' response. Perhaps a sticky would be good yes where people could set up small servers for single matches at a time?!
