FiringSquad's
QuakeCon 2002 report is now online, offering their impressions of the DOOM
III presentation, John Carmack's address to the attendees, some highlights of
the Carmack Q&A, and more. They cap things off with their own Q&A with
designer Tim Willits and animator Fred Nilsson of id, discussing DOOM III's
single-player focus, multiplayer support, weapons, interactivity with the
levels, NPCs, monsters, and more. It should be noted that Tim's answer to a
question about multiplayer scalability offers relief for those concerned
about John Carmack's comments about four-player multiplayer support, saying: "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."

No. I doubt it is a joke. Peer to peer helps cut down on cheating. Warcraft 3 has a similar multiplayer engine which was developed for the very reason that so many people with Warcraft I, II and StarCraft were cheating by using your basic memory editing techniques. Its actually nifty, in my opinion.
