Multiplayer the buck stops here

[gameguy1]

I hope Multiplayer is going to be drasticly improved in 1.1. I know most of the realisim junkies here want more features and planes and wepons yadda yadda yadda.............. But the real problem with this game is mostly due to multiplayer capabilitys (or lack there of)

 

Let me start by saying this I baught LOMAC the day it hit the stores I watched the forums for over a year and a half waiting for it to go gold (along with others) I got the game installed and went to multiplayer (like most people who pay for internet and a top of the line pc do,if I want to play single player I would go get AC5)

 

Well joining UBI.com (hyperlobby was not available for lomac) I noticed about 75 people (I thaught to myself awesome!!!) well I did see it top 120ish at times (but the bugs drove most of them off) then we got hyperlobby,again I saw about 75ish but again the bugs drew that number down again . Then 1.01 came out and the numbers where climbing greatly, I seen it go to 130ish. Then out of nowhere it just dropped again (I thaught to myself dang must be the bugs again)

 

But no it was not ,1.02 came out and fixed alot of problems but there was hardly noone left to enjoy it (well maybe the 30-40 left on HL do ????pathetic numbers),and this was mostly due to content not the bugs not the realisim it was content all along and that brings me to my suggestions.

 

ED could learn alot about multiplayer gameplay by looking at the big boys out there Valve,Novalogic,Maddox games,Boehemia Interactive ect.....They put content in there games and goal baised multiplayer

 

 

Suggestions

1.Goals (if its just a simple "YOU WIN" and then cycle to the next mission or "sortie"

 

2.Red and Blue side elemination missions each side has bases and buildings the first team to kill the other side's stuff gets a "WIN SCREEN" and then cycles to the next mission.

 

3.Help Jiri make hyperlobby so you can see the game settings (what realisim settings ect (IL2 can do it I know lomac can)

 

4.ABILITY TO LOCK LOADOUTS ON JOINING PLAYERS (biggest pet peave of the game, i've actually gotten hit by an aim54 that was invisible because the other guy didnt save his loadout)

 

5.Better text chat interface (what was ED thinking with the current one? its a nusence)

 

6.Incorperate the "legal" addons or mods that help the game performance ,its a shame the community has had to resort to the things that they have done, but I personaly apreciate every one of them.

 

7.If it don't work get rid of it (can anyone say in game lan option )........need I say more?

 

Well im tired and thats all I can think of for now i'll edit my post and add more as I think of it later,remember guys this niche market is a niche marked because of the learning curve, by adding content to a game you reward the learning curve with gameplay.

... how about reading some of the other threads instead of sitting here and typing stuff that's already been talked about while tired? If you're tired, don't type - read instead. Actually, do that anyway.

Not going to argue, and I will not reply to anymore of your threads

 

But I do want to add to my colsing comment that its also snob's like this that keep it a niche market.

gameguy1, instead of suggesting ED how they should do their marketing, or pointing a "Valve,Novalogic,Maddox games" as an example of "big boys", you'd better spend some time and read forums carefully, then suggest something real and useful.
