Gnasher Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Oh yes if this is done right it will make ToW into one of the top 25% MP games as long as areas can be captured & scripted events (ie reiforcements) can be added relatively easily by the community. One thing thats of paramount importance is to either have a user freindly MP mission creation tool or a very good tutorial. Getting community MP missions built is a very desireable thing to have. Please make it easy to do or explain in detail how to do it. I would like to see 4v4 battles axis v allies but only 1 nation per side. No 1xGb, 1xRussian, 2xUSA v 3xGerman 1xItalian for example. MP games IMO should be 1 country v another country with no mixing of armies within teams. Nations should be set by the mission creator. Mission builders should have ability to award reinforcements if team captures rect to simulate reinforcing sucess as in RL. Oh & most importantly the host needs the ability to kick people from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Creating MP missions will be more easy with mission editor wizard. You will be able select any combination of armies and set restrictions to variety of possible armies in the editor for each MP mission. Reinforcements and off-map support in MP are not possible in the moment, maybe in addon. Host can kick other players from the game during setup phase, kicking during battle is against the rules.

Smoke Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Very excited about the patch... but didn't see anything about an MP lobby. Is that going to be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAM255 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I just tried the demo and the game appear to be good. I wonder if the MP is good, and yes, like all game, it need a lobby. btw, the video of the game do not represent well the quality of the game.

Sneaksie Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Smoke Lobby is in the works now, this patch will be released without it (but with new MP and other features as said in patch announcement thread). TAM255 What video? Promotional one with pre-rendered graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAM255 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Vidéo #5 - Gameplay from a french site : http://www.clubic.com/video-jeux-video-874-0-theatre-of-war.html I guess this video were made by the dev team. The video let me believe the game had ****ty graphics, after playing the demo, I can say it's not the case at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1812 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi All, You may try the proving grounds at: http://www.the-proving-grounds.com I go there reasonably often to play CMAK and occasionally someone will show up to play ToW. Mind you if you all go there you will find one another. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
