I'm not holding my breath............
I used to play MTW v1.1 happily for a while despite a few problems but it has now degraded into a non-playable online game. I either cant connect, it takes an age to connect, it crashes when hosting/joining with all firewall coldbooted to off & it freezes at some point - most meaning that only a system restart will get me out of it.
I have never liked Gamespy due to advertising/spyware and have always used third party apps like 'All Seeing Eye' and 'HLSW' for other games.
I was even thinking of starting a clan (called PFJ) as it was the only game; me and a few friends, used to play. It was great fun over ventrillo voice comms:gossip: .
I have now given up totally:wall:, stopped playing single player, never did buy MTW:VI :( & play Halflife instead. It actually annoys me that MTW:VI isnt backwards compatable (cant play people who have it so it divides the community) and is only a money making idea, despite only offering a small new campaign map and bug fixes which should be in a free patch.
In fact i will probably not even buy RTW for this same reasons listed.
And guess what RTW is using for multiplay too - u guessed it 'Gayspy' again
