I originally posted this as a reply to another request to implement team deathmatch, but I was taking the thread off topic as this request is actually for dedicated servers and deathmatch, so text below is now new post.

As a player of id games since Quake and Quakeworld, I would love to see multiplayer deathmatch implemented in RAGE - even just in its simplest form of FFA.

I purchased this game on both Xbox360 and PC, interested to see which platform was best. I ended up with a much better experience on my Xbox than on my Intel i7 with ATI 6950 and SSD drive, but as I found playing a true FPS with a console controller as futile as trying to swat flies with a deckchair, I put an Nvidia 580 in the PC and now all is well.

In fact it is so solid and so much fun to play with a KB and mouse, that it reminds me of the old days, flicking around corridor corners and firing shotguns into the faces of enemies. Lots of fun. As such, I think the engine, fluidity and weapons would really suit a deathmatch type environment.

Having fun with Legends of the Wastelands at the moment though - great game mechanics. But dedicated server and FFA.... please - then all we'd need would be gl_picmip "4"

Thanks.
