What are you planning in terms of networking to be actually able to create a MMO FPS, there are some fundamental issues with this from a networking point of view?

[erik.rostock]

Actually, our game is not really a MMO FPS, because the average player amount per match will be ~20 up to 40.
However, we are planning to use RakNet and maybe make the network server application multi-threaded using Intels Threading Building Blocks library, but this is currently in discussion.
As the net engine itself is still in a planning stage, we are now developing and looking for techniques/algorithms that will help us.
Basically, we will try to do a very modern implementation of a networked game.
