Kuniworth Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Shaka; Ron did this in another thread as well. I have no intention of beeing unfriendly, but I think his attitude is somewhat uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Shaka, it was a rare thing you did and I appreciate it. FWIW you are mistaken Kuniworth. You can leave it at that or you can try to prove your point, I will leave it to you. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hubert, this is really a big issue. Timers, replays, & spectator mode. Do something that isn't been done by other games. Zapp is absolutely correct, I push "Done", then "Escape" because the majority of the players are slow. A quick replay would be cool. Any comments from Battlefront? This should all be easy to program. Yo, Hans --- Many of us like to play alot of online games & want features. Being a demanding customer drives features & change. Why do chess championships have clocks? The reason for the clocks is so I don't have to play a 20-hour game. People are taking forever to make their moves, checking every possible move, statistics, & all that crap. Far as time, yes, I do have time to play wargames online......I'll have alot more time the way a couple of stocks are feeding me lots of cash $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Rambo knows speed Rambo knows stocks Rambo knows alot of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDG Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Timers, replays, & spectator mode. Two out of three would be nice(timers & replays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Also, it would cool if you could play 2 games at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubarno Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 How about just a game record feature? Important and high level games could be recorded and posted online for download and replayed ad nauseum for those that are interested. If you only had 30 minutes of free time before you go back to monitoring your put options, load up the latest grudge match between the two top dogs and watch a couple years worth of moves with no lag time for the players to think. One would watch the turns transpire from the birds eye view of each alternating player so that one can only see what the player saw on his turn. Get your popcorn and pop a brew. Kick up your feet and watch the latest stars of SC2 Blitkrieg write their name in lights. Fame awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubarno Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Oh,... and a timer option would be good too, and probably not too dificult to code. Don't let any replay feature slow down the release of the game. This can be released in a patch just as TCP/IP was in SC1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xwormwood Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hubert: I don't need and I don't want a spectator-mode in the game. But if you think those 5 - 10 players are so important, well, include it. After all it is your game and your sweat, not mine. I would rather visit my dentist than spending time on watching these players on their 150237th game against each other. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Strategic Command takes up enough time as it is. I have no interest whatsoever in watching other people play. However the idea regarding the timers sounds interesting and I think it is something that should be included in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The idea of "Spectator" mode is not to sit there for 20+ hours, watching somebody else play. The purpose, is to quickly check out a situation. It's a live "screenshot" when others are playing. You might not have time to play yourself, logon, & can check out a SeaLion or something. So don't use the arguements,"I don't want to watch people play, I don't have time". Checking out a game for 15 minutes would be very cool. This "feature" would be cool... Hey, another idea. Allow people who don't own the game, to watch a game (some patch), then maybe they'll buy it. Hey, another idea. You could sell advertisements on with the "spectator" running. Make some bank with "spetator" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 How many people other than the 5 very vocal advocates on this thread would really want or utilize it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Member, your are a 'member' --- This should be easy to program, it's called a "Feature" in the firmware world. Yes, there are 5 of us "for it", how many against? To do a proper poll, you'd need more than 10 people. You know what? I don't live my life by other people's opinion. The majority reject Jesus Christ, should I listen to them? Being a designer, inventor, explorer.....a trailblazer takes guts. You talk about your precious time, why do you waste it in the General Forum with all those fruitcakes? You never participate in the SC Forum, suddenly your bashing a cool feature. Now, looking at the history of your posts. It appears you like to post "one-line", with no substance. Hmmm, what do I see now? You're a liberal from Canada, that explains alot. There are tons of Canadians who live online, no life. The theme of your posting life is negative with a lack of intelligence/humor. Spend some time & read that.

Hey Beverly Hills Member 90210 or whatever. Since when did you speak for all the SC community? Don't try to start a debate here because you would lose big time. So you want to make a mockery out of anyone with another opinion than yours. Arse!

Dragonheart Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 It would be a nice feature for newbies to learn the game....it´s like a live AAR. Also if you make a tournament spectators could see the final live...... It is not a must but it would be a nice feature.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since many players say they like the AAR they must like Spectator mode even more. I edited my initial post now including this relevant fact.
