Online play has some relevance to the Atlantic with the wolfpacks, but the US wolfpacks were never very big, not more than 3 subs IIRC. Anyway online is meaningless for both SHIII and IV without a new Destroyer Command. Voted no big deal.

Multiplayer vs. Multiplayer is what I and most of us want.
Multiplayer vs. AI (like SH3) is ho-hum (no better but sometimes worse
than single campaign play)

I'm craving some LAN co-op.

Rosencrantz · 06-01-06, 06:18 PM

Well, personally I'm not looking for a MP, so voted No big deal. I think Joea has a good point of view anyway.

No reaction whatsoever. I don't do multiplayer

I have to answer "Good, now the dev's have more time to code single play."

Multi-play doesn't intrest me because of a slow wire dial-up connection and no hope for Fiber optic for at least 3-5 years. Besides Multi-play could be an Add-on sold later, again something they could devote their time and budget too when it was developed.

"Good, now the dev's have more time to code single play."

tried MP once in my life and it was for a FPS and all I got was a bunch of numbnuts hopping around

:rotfl: there and then I swore off MP and I have never and will never entertain the thought of MP in any game again

I just wish the Mission Generator was available for single-player use, too. It's a decent, simple tool, but it's tedious to play it alone on x1 Time Compression for no reason.

It depends on the genre, really.

FPS: MP all the way. Stupid or nonexistent bots, smart humans (for the most part

)
RTS: Scenario Design and scenarios.
Sim: SP all the way.

Forget the MP altogether. Get rid of that code and use the dev time for something juicy. I don't think there is a MP element in any game that I have played for more than a couple of days before getting very bored with it. I ofen get the feeling that devs embrace MP so they can cut corners on things like believable AI or decent campaigns and storytelling. I'm fed up of it.

, and IMO MP is useful mainly as a way to sell more copies - at least in the FPS world. Not that I don't want the game to sell, mind.
