Quite possibly, though it's a little ways away right now. Data is adding in support for 4-player hotseat games with console controllers in the next build, so a jump to the internet is possible.
It's just a lot of work.

How do you get four people... it probably comes close to requireing XBox controllers.
And that has nothing to do with network ferret.

I realize that it makes no technical difference, but with the IRC and Data's apparent focus on more multiplayer, it would seem that Data has at least thought about a jump to networking.
And yes, I'm guessing that it will require xbox controllers. Ah, well...

I believe the next build will support all joysticks and gamepads, not just 360s.

Oh me oh my, I would love a level where you controlled your own character, a team based game mode.
Multiplayer would rock too, but I ♥♥♥♥ around too much to be any good against other people

Yea that was something i was thinking about. like having 2 teams and instead of only being able to control one actor at a time your teammates could also switch among characters and also order new bodies and weapons. and yes i'm sure gamepads or some other controller would be required in order to play the new version. might need to buy a bigger monitor just for cortex command too. jk

Awhile ago there was talk of campaign missions...
Personally, I'm just hoping for co-op. It seems like an extremely easy thing to implement.

I doubt that Data is considering online multiplayer... I bet he's already working on it!! (Okay, wishful thinking, but I'm sure that he would like to add it eventually.)
