Gamespot had the chance to catch up with Raven Software's Eric Biessman, Jim Hughes and id Software's Tim Willits for a quick interview regarding Quake IV itself, of course.
"GS: What can you tell us about Quake 4's multiplayer at this point? Any specific modes we can discuss now?
TW: There are some multiplayer modes that are still in discussion with Raven, but you'll have capture the flag and variants, you'll have team deathmatch, you'll have tourney, and you'll have brand-new levels, some of which will be based on classic levels that players really enjoyed. The number of clients is up , currently around 12 to 16, but until we really finalize everything, we can't talk too much about multiplayer otherwise. But we will have a lot more information at this year's QuakeCon."
