I don't really agree here. P2p would work very well for shooter games, you
simply use the person who starts the first connection as the server or
implement some other way of choosing who deals with what tasks, maybe even
split it over the different players to save each individual user's
bandwidth. One player could handle judgements and timing, another could
handle the player stats etc etc.
If I'm not mistaken, ENet was created for these exact purposes to begin
with; fast action games.

Subject: Re: [ENet-discuss] Shooter Game
A shooter game needs a judge, thus someone to decide who got
hit and died etc. This judge naturelly is the server in a client/server
architecture. I doubt that a peer-to-peer protocol makes sense for
a shooter game.

How well do you guys think a basic shooter game can scale with a
peer-to-peer protocol ?
