I've just tried to use multiplayer for MTW for the first time. I am, frankly, astonsihed. Gamespy seems to do everything in its power to prevent one actually playing games. After three attempts to create an acount (because the software appears to have keeled over or forgotten where it'd got to in the process), it finally told me I was registered, so I went in search of MTW games... and after page after page after painfully slowly loading page never got any closer to being able to play a game.
So I uninstalled Gamespy, and tried via the in-game option. OK, Gamspy still recognised me from where I'd just registered. Then I get a completely unecessary web page, get rid of that, and... nada. Nothing. A whole flipping HOUR just trying to get to where I MIGHT be able to play a game multiplayer that is already installed on my system. And I thought some of the MMOL flight sims were clunky
I'd rather go to the dentists than go through that again - so here endeth my multiplayer career, nipped in the bud before properly begun, I'm afraid. If anyone knows an email address one can complain to about the dreadful multiplayer system, I;d be delighted to hear of it. It;ll be days before I feel like going near Gamespy to try to locate one myself.
Oh, and that probably puts paid to my buying VI. I'll just wait for Rome to come out.
