Quote by John Romero
You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter.
Summary
This quote suggests that when designing and programming a Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game, particularly its combat system, developers need to approach it in a distinct manner compared to designing combat systems for first-person shooter games. MMO combat involves different dynamics, strategies, and mechanics that are unique to the genre. Therefore, it is necessary to tailor the design and programming of MMO combat to accommodate the specific requirements and complexities of a more expansive, cooperative, and long-term gameplay experience compared to the more immediate and individual-focused nature of a first-person shooter.
