What style of play do you prefer?

Takeda Shingen · 12-27-05, 11:07 AM

Lots of disagreement about this. I am not trying to incite anyone, but am rather trying to get an end to circular argument.

EDIT: Try to refrain from argument, as we have plenty of threads where people can go for each other's throats. Just vote here.

i like to customize my Game a lot.

Multiplayer, there is nothing that can compare to hunting a human opponent on a submarine or on a destroyer.

Single-player, due to the depth.

But if you could undertake MP careers (as pimped by yours truly several times already), that'd be my game type of choice. Join up with a budd', go trough a patrol, save, join up later.

I only bother MP with games that have it done proper. If there are limitations on gameplay in MP, not to mention buggy clients or subsciption based MP - I stay away from it.

I like single play. You can start and end at your own lesiure... For instance if I wanna play 10 hours straight, I know I won't bore the heck out of the computer.

CB.. · 12-27-05, 08:21 PM

i would play multiplayer perhaps--but ONLY if the only way to communicate is by morse code signal lamp ! is it a game or is it a chat room--heck i don't take it that seriously but the constant barrage of BS streaming across the message board just leaves me wondering why folks play multiplayer games at all --

having to surface and get close and communicate with morse would focus peoples minds on the game--and we'd all learn something in the process LOL ie morse--(i dunno it so i'd be first to struggle)

It's always been SP for me.

Polak · 12-28-05, 05:06 PM

Both?

JoachimV · 12-29-05, 09:30 AM

Both, on the condition that MP has a competitive element then this will also work for clan-wars

I prefer to hunt alone around the atlantic, so i prefer sp

thasaint · 12-29-05, 05:46 PM

as i said in the other thread, i already have a ton of multiplayer games that work well multiplayer. sub sims are my "release" from all the multiplayer gaming and trash talking that comes with it. lets me sit back, relax, n sink ships solo

I enjoyed competitive multi-play with SHII and DC, but there was so much BS 'gaming' that it took away from the realism. There were always people playing who didn't care about the war or the equipment, they just wanted to beat you. It stopped being fun for me after a fairly short time.

Real WWII subs travelled alone almost all the time, and that's the way I like to play-alone.
