GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

means no lobby, so socialising is out. Also, as it is 'easy' to ue g*yspy, it gets flooded with little s***s who who will camp on hills. Look at sudden strike as an example.
Hmmmm that will suck.
Lets make a vote and send them to EA. I would like some nice, reliable servers with good multi code and we should be more than fine.

When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run along the road. By passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to all things.
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!
We don't want multiplayer on SERVERS!!! WE WANT TRUE TCP/IP MULTIPLAYER! Let me yap on ICQ, but connect with my opponent (s) directly. This mess of "gaming servers" is absolute foolishness. I have ranted on this before, and I will do so again. I don't have a problem including "service" multiplayer - but locking us into a service to play means that if the service goes away - so does multiplayer. And for all of you who don't think that game services disappear - just look at Heat.net or Mplayer.com - GONE! If the original Shogun had relied on MPlayer (which was as strong or stronger at shogun release than gamespy is currently is) - guess what - NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY SHOGUN ONLINE right now. Gamers need to wake up to the fact that gaming services that provide servers are NOT a good thing. First -what are you going to do when gamespy decides that they need 2 shogun servers for half-life because all their paying customers are playing half-life and complaining of lag? What are you going to do when your one place, and your opponent is 2 hours away - yet your data packets have to travel halfway across the continent (or world) and causes monster lag?
Cmon, I understand why game companies want to roll to services only. But when doing so leaves us in the cold - or even has the potential to do so - they need to include an alternate method. Direct connection (heck use DPlay - u do when u connect to service based games anyway!) and give gamers the option to play as multiplayer was truly intentioned.
Qapla!

Gamespy is a wonderful program! And those 30 second force adds are just peachy.
