Thief 4 - Online Elements?

Industrious folks on the NeoGAF forums have been combing through Eidos Montreal jobs looking for hints in Thief 4. Based on the position requirements, they have good evidence that Thief 4 will use the Unreal 3 engine (no suprise) but will also have some sort of mutiplayer or online component. Examples include a job for an "online programmer" who will be "involved in many aspects such as networking, gameplay, debugging, online and offline tools on Thief 4".

Agreed; much like previous chapters.
And usually fan missions are tougher than the standard ones .

There's already multiplayer Thief 2 so this isn't really much of a stretch. The fundamental gameplay elements lend themselves well to either cooperative or competitive play.

All new games are online nowadays, with the achivements and stuff, so imo this isnt really "news" and doesnt really say anything about if Thief 4 will be online MP or not.
