i.d. has completely left the Online play to mod makers and Quake 4. If you're into online competetive play. OrangeSmoothie(the people who made Quake 3 OSP, which kicks ass) is in the planning stages of OSP. It will include balances, lighter skins, and possibly more maps. Seriously though, if you ask me, wait until Quake 4 for MP, Doom 3 to me, is completely for the Single Player Expenerience. Although playing this game on LAN kicks so much ass.
