bluescreen2 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 hi everyone, i played the sp demo and must say, great fun. but iam not a big sp-player and not very interested in sp-campaign. if i would buy this game, i were interessted in the mp part of the game. i can read very disapointed threads about the mp-part of the game so i would like to test the mp before buying the game. is a mp-demo planed? maybe with a single mp-map (can be small, doesnt matter)? thx, blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluescreen2 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 hm-hm this could be extra money i think, in those days today, a demo without an mp part is difficult to place on the game- market. just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluescreen2 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 The majority of gamers still don't play online games. i think, the number of online players is as high as never been before, today. let me think at the big titles like starcraft, wc3, wow, all the online shooters, rts, massive role playing etc. i think, sp will die sometime. but this all doesnt matter. i am an online gamer at 85% of all my games i i realy could imagin to play this title online. but because of all the negative mp threads, not without testing it. and yes, i know, that tow, cmbb etc are mainly sp games, but i think, its time to change this.

Marc Anton Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 1vs1 with 4 tanks each, thats all. Not to mention the connection losses, 10 minutes loading time and heavy lag even with best connection. The game does not work in MP mode so you dont want to test it, believe me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBR Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yes no need to waste your time on MP with the way it works (or rather not works) now. Unless some major things are fixed ToW is mainly a SP game. CBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 IMHO MP will either make or break the title. If MP is done well then their is the potential for this game to make the top 25 played games on the net. Take IL2 for instance a massive online community who regulary play together. I'm sure that 1C & BF are well aware of this & working hard behind the scenes to do something about this. Good team MP play if done properly would shoot this baby to the top 5, be sure! If ToW were a little more like HiddenStroke2 (SuddenStrike2 mod) in terms of MP playability (up to 12 players in 2-4 teams) & number of usable units, it would certainly be a good thing. Unlike in HS2 I would prefer if teams were limited to 2 teams one of axis & one allies with units fixed to the historical reality of the map in question. I find SP too predictable & easy to defeat after a while, what really makes things satisfying, interesting & very replayable are the idiosyncrasies of a human. Nothing beats the varied game play & the knowledge that you've just managed to make someone leave their keyboard in dismay at the trouncing you've just given them.

RabidRabbit Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Heh, a MP demo would be the LAST thing the devs would want. Is it even functional? I think this is a part of the game they would like to sweep under the rug and forget about. However, I agree with what has been posted: good multiplayer could have made this game special.
