Multiplayer on PC back in the days:
- Null modem direct connection.
- Modem
- LAN (IP or IPX)
- On the interwebz.
- Personal server, look, you can download the server software there!
- Shared install, so you can do LAN games with your friends for free.
Now:
- LAN? Na mate, internet only, and you have to use our own servers, btw they will shutdown next year for the next release. Don't forget to have a fiber optic connection or you will lag.
