Kettenhund Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Will the multiplayer part overworked or not? I mean not technical errors/bug. I mean: 1.) more maps 2.) more gamemodi /king of the hill/capute the flag/assault and defence/battle zones/ etc. 3.) buy menü before a multiplayer session starts / somthing like in the singelplayer part 4.) skills of tank crews in multiplayer must be totaly raised 5.) a game lobby in game or html based (ip stock exchange)/ maybe gamespy function please dont let the game die in the multiplayer part...

Sledge110 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Same question from me. The multiplayer is actually not playable(terrible gameplay) and looks like that the developer lacks of time and money to finish it, so that they just released an "feigenblatt"-multiplayer. To summarize it: There is nothing what you can call an multiplayer. TOW is only an singleplayergame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Agree 100% MP playability is paramount, if its done right this will be a killer game! It's where the furure of this game is if it's to have a future at all on HDs, be sure!! BF/Devs please take note & give us the killer game in return for our cash! We need min 4v4 to 6v6 games that are stable & maybe a few different game type as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes the Great Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Roger that! This game will live or die depending on its multiplayer stability and playability. Aside from obvious stability and crash issues, the following are "MUST HAVE" list currently missing: 1) Ability to select your army. We don't need the AI choose for us randomly or predetermined. Half the battle (and half the fun) is choosing your army and hardware. 2) Unit customization based on point system. Both players will get the same points (say 1000) but one player may spend the points on 3 super tanks with mediocre gunners and commanders while the other player may take 2 tanks and spen the points on upgrading the gunner and commander's ratings. This will add wonders to the replayability. As is now, there is no replayablity at all since there is no customization and everything is pre-determined and fixed! 3) Map selection. Some like to have a fight on a small map. Some would like to have a huge (8km x 8Km) map with only 2 players so they don't run into each other from the offset. Hunting and searching adds a lot to tactical aspect of the game and induces a lot of fun! 4) Unit size. Each side should be able to yield a decent size army. Having only 4 tanks a side may not suffice. Not asking for a hundred tanks but a dozen or so should be possible to have along with say 10-12 ATGs and 4-5 infantry platoons. 5) Ability to build defensive structures such as barbed wires and tank obstacles and bunkers for MGs and camoflaouge for ATGs. This game can really be awesome. Do not miss the opportunity. If you build it (almost there!!), people weill come (buy). Word of mouth will be your most effective marketing campaign! Over and out.

Sledge110 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Battlefront can you please say some words to your plans (or no plans) concerning the multiplayer? I am also interested what you think about the multiplayer. Do you think he is great or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Multiplayer should be fixed. Definitly. (and I 100% agree with Xerxes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidRabbit Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Originally posted by Kettenhund: please dont let the game die in the multiplayer part... Sadly, it was never alive. It is by far the most horrible attempt at multiplayer gaming that I can recall. I agree with all of your suggestions/requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge110 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Battlefront/1C please give us a feedback. This MP-Thing is too important and you can not hope that time and silence will solve this problem for you. All u said till now was "The Multiplayer works". Thats not enough in my eyes. I bought this game,because i want to make Online/LAN sessions with my Brother and Friends. That is not possible atm(gameplay). For me i can say, if u give us a Multiplayer that earns his name u will sell 2 Games more to my friends(i told them not to buy TOW because of the missing "MP").

dmg Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 We don't have any details available on these topics at the moment. There are some plans on extending multiplayer gameplay in the addon, but final decisions on its features have not been made. As we get closer to release the addon, we'll have more details to share.

Destraex Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I would be happy with close combat style multiplayer. I would also like to see what modders can do currently with multiplayer missions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriba Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'm agree with Tartari and the others, give us more options in multi like capture the flag Even if ToW is a great solo game, I will be pleased to play online not only with 'kill'em all' mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vin2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Forget about the multiplayer, what about the single player game and what i mean is no randon battle generator and only a couple of dozen missions through the campaigns. The single player needs a serious overhaul, give us the options combat mission has to make it more playable and give us more units. To me this is more important than the multiplayer side of it especially at this stage, this can be looked at later. You winge about the multiplayer when even the single player side of it isnt up to the same standards combat mission was. It amazes me that these kind of games today just like many others only have a select amount of missions and a complex editor what ever happened to the random battle generator and skirmish modes these kinda games used to have, it seems they are now a thing of the past which is really sad as they make the game more enjoyable to play and to watch and also prelong the games playability. I just hope this will be taken into account if an expansion is made otherwise this game may well be uninstalled off my hard drive as there is nothing else that can be done with it.

Tartari Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Sorry vin2007, I don't agree with you, the multiplayer is the worst part of ToW and it needs a lot of finishing! Next a more friendly-easy editor and a QB generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaN Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 All that I can tell you now is YES. Multiplayer part of the game will be overworked. 2 details that I am able to tell you about it is new maps and opponent searching tool. That all by now that can be told, sorry.

Thank you for this nice little statement. It´s better then nothing. New maps for multiplayer would be very cool and the searching tool for opened multiplayer games is also nice to hear. But, please don´t forget the game modes. This is very important. Nobody need a death match game in a WW2 genre. Team deathmatch between german and allies are ok , or a mode there you must capping a zone, or a assault and defence mode, or other multiplayer missions with a target.

FinnN Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yep very good to hear! Talking about game endings - looking at the bigger picture it'd be nice to see more flexibility for game endings in both single and multiplayer. Ideally I'd like to see a scriptable dialog box pop up to ask for user input - allowing for example in certain circumstances draws to be accepted etc. Have fun Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vin2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well for me if this game doesnt improve its single player mode then i wont be playing it no more but going back to combat mission and steel panthers where i know you cant compare graphics but the gameplay and playability is 10 times that of tow. Sorry lads but i see this game going in the wrong direction like many others Have Fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
