Heliotic Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Because you have no idea how bad gamespy is. [Hint: Really really bad.] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Forgive my ignorance, but what does that mean "use gamespy for multiplayer"? J Kruger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86smopuim Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 If gamespy was required, as good as this game is, I would drop it like a stone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzertruppe Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Gamespy is for cheaters and hackers. It's nearly imposible to find anyone to play with on Gamespy who will not quit in the middle of a game and cry....or will use every cheat code they can find to win a game. Sorry....there are honest players looking for a "real" game and then there is GAMESPY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheer Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Doesn´t Gamespy use adware or spyware ? Or sumthing like this ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Talker Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Why use Gamespy at all? What's the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHBERY76 Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Yeah try playing BF1942 without gamepsy,good luck finding enough people.That's the problem CM mutliplayer is a hassle finding people to play, while in gamespy it would take 5 secs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHBERY76 Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 In gamespy you press login, now that's what you call an efficient multiplaying system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamo Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Ashberry, Gamespy is for the birds! Use the opponent finder forum. This game isn't like BF1942, you don't 32 people to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I use GSpy for games such as BF1942 where's it great, you can sort servers, make a favorites list, search for buddies, keep a running ping on servers, and a new feature I noticed, if a server is full it will keep trying to connect you every x seconds waiting for someone to drop out. I purchased it years ago, and with the paid version Ad-Aware and Spybot both have never detected any spyware with it. I don't know about the free version. Now, with CM, it's different. As suggested, it's head to head play only, so why do you need all those features? In fact, it wouldn't work properly, unless there's a number of people out there with a setup running just hoping that someone connects to them? Use the opponent finder forum, join a ladder, and post a profile on The Proving Grounds (there's an opponent finder forum there as well). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Originally posted by ASHBERY76: In gamespy you press login, now that's what you call an efficient multiplaying system. Look, Gamespy might work for hectic action games where people pop in and out constantly. In CM, it might take half an hour just to set up a game between two players. You'll have to agree on numerous attributes, and possible "non-kosher" tactics. And then you're supposed to be involved in the game for an amount of time that can easily be over three hours. Are you going to select a completely anonymous person for this task, without any guarantee that he/she will complete the match? Think not. The point is that CM isn't your instant deathmatch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 "Why?,the fact is most serious publishers use the gamespy arcade because it's the easiest way to find opponents, of course your not forced to use it." Do yourself a favor and ditch Gamespy. Use "The All Seeing Eye" instead. Los 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Talker Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Good point. One of the best things about CM isn't the game... its the people. CM has made the world a very small place for me. This speaks for me also. Playing against different people is great, but I also like having a small core of guys that can be relied upon to give me good, honest, games. I've gotten to know some of these folks rather well, which makes gaming even more fun for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHBERY76 Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: Not to be rude, but presenting yourself as intelligent goes a long way to helping with that. Capitalization, spelling, grammar...kind of good ways to show someone you're smart enough to turn on a computer and challenge them in a game of CM. Pressing a button to find some anonymous loser with a cute handle like JOACHIMPEIPER1984 kind of belies the entire point of PBEM for most of the more mature players here. [/QB]I would rather play the peiper84 of the world than some of the arrogant people in this forum. All the more reason for gamespy if you ever want this game to taken serious by the majority, and not by the arrogant few who reside here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Talker Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 taken serious by the majority, Who might that majority be? It seems there are quite a few people playing now. Not every game is for everyone. Just because many of us choose not to use Gamespy shouldn't bother you in anyway. If you like it, cool. You asked a question, and got responses. What did you expect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30ot6 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hey you. Keep your flames limited to forums where you normally hang out. Here, if you ask a question, it is assumed you are sincerely looking for an answer. Maybe you should have written your post like this: Battlefront is so stupid for not using GameSpy. Obviously, anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid. Agree with me or you are stupid(and arrogant). Battlefront had better change this. That's what you really meant, isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
