TheMoose Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Is HL required for online for DCS? Basically for crowd to gather up, Chat and create sessions. Is there a partnership between both parties? I know FC offers MP session via IP only. But any upgrade in this area for DCS? I heard you will have 2nd executable for MP online, will this include server setups? Chatting area? Etc… I personally would prefer that MP Sessions would be supplied in game. Not that we have not receive awesome service from HL. But I would think that DCS should start by thinking on its own in this area. Gamespy has been providing developers this opportunity for many years with many games. Has ED though about joining this type of endeavor for multiplayer? Can anyone shed some light in this area of DCS?

Verdungo Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Although I understand why people want to have an in-game server browser, in my opinion development resources should be reserved for more important stuff, such as debugging, developing the new engine, developing A-10 module etc. Besides as you said we have HyperLobby that is fairly adequate even for a game of size of IL-2. Should an in-game server browser be implemented at some point, I think that HyperLobby support would still be nice as with it we don't need to open the game just to check if there are good servers online.

-sulan- Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 A lobby for chatting, joining/launching mp-missions in the DCS might be nice I think, especially if there were some DCS specific functions like having briefings/debriefs, mp-campaigns/online wars or something.. It would also make multiplayer much more accesible for new users/busy users.. But then again, I had very good experiences with HL (flying IL-2)..
