Quote ::"What's the status of the DOOM 3 dedicated server and the client?"

I think there's a very good chance we can get the dedicated server out with the next patch, because it's been running very smoothly in the DOOM 3 tournaments. We still need to polish it a bit, but it will get released pretty soon. I know that the server admins are waiting, and Linux gamers don't really care about it, but we have to follow our priorities. Since gold, the Mac port was definitely the big thing; it benefits both the Linux and the Mac version, but Mac had to come first."" The Linux client is running pretty good, I'm getting surprisingly good performance compared to the Windows version, but I absolutely don't want to release something that's half-done or half-finished. I want to polish it; it should come together within a few weeks.

Nice

Last I read about it, the mac version wasn't a huge priority, but something they were going to accomplish.

Very nice.

I wonder if they'll distribute on DVD. Any mac capable of playing D3 will have a DVD drive..

It's VERRY easy to make a dvd iso of the game i think they planned everything out well in advance

Wonder what the system spec requirements will be.... Very interested in the video card specs, since that's the driving requirement on the PC side.
