Give me another couple of good news like that, and I'll stay away from it...

Louis,

CBR 21:23 09-23-2004

Ok then:

Competitive battles are back so I guess there is a ladder again.

That will of course make some people happy..

Edit: it should keep track for cd-key and not playername so at least an improvement there.

Double ouch. Is there any chance that these points are not true?

The six player limit has been known for a while, ever since it appeared on the flash site.

I can only assume that 4v4's are not that feasable given the attention to detail we have in the engine. Bummer.

Louis de la Ferte Ste Colombe 21:37 09-23-2004

After playing the Demo, I was not enthusiastic, right now, I am downright pessimistic.

I am certainly not in a hurry to buy this.

Louis,

Guess this confirms that CA have no interest in MP issues. 3v3 max??? What a complete farce.
Well I have it on order but I shall not be buying another TW game because you can bet your life those 3v3 games will LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

So there you go RTW....last in the series for me

I mean the ladder for competitive battles. In old STW days you could play under all the names you wanted and have lots of entries on the ladder. But thats just what I have been told and I got some

to do about that 3v3 thingie..

That just shows that if you wanna do it right, you gotta do it yourself

nothing to see here

I would like to see how you are going to make the MP lobby play a 4v4 game. It isn't there on any of the MP maps. Maybe a mod with a bigger map size would make it 4v4, but I have serious doubts after seeing the MP lobby. I hope you are right though.

I wasnt right. That was a just a few people who thought 4v4 was still in but actually didnt try it before they told me.

From your other thread it seems like 4 years of development didnt give MP much improvements as several of the problems are like MTW 1.0.

It's not all that bad, 3v3 is ample enough imo.

That's a joke right?

One could be sarcastic and say that RTW MP is one big joke..

it seems that way... there is no longer a gamespy registration through the game. no email confirmation, no password.

you enter your cd code initially, then type your name and blamo you're in the foyar, or maybe not if it ctd on you :)

Chimpyang 17:11 09-24-2004

But doesn't that mean you may have some people impersonating others, esp clans.

PaolinoPaperino 18:27 09-24-2004

Thx uglygoat. I was still in doubt about that.
So, anybody could join the foyer using any name, and any tag...if not used in that moment.
Dunno what is worst..losing the 4vs4 (and I still refuse to accept the reality)

or joining the room where someone else is using my nick name..and my clan tag..
Hey! I've no clan!!

Puzz3D 18:33 09-24-2004

You may even be able to have multiple occurances of the same name onlne at the same time. If this isn't the case, you won't be able to login if someone is using your name.

RTKLamorak 18:43 09-24-2004

wow, how quickly the excitment has been killed for me (i have read that there is 4v4 i am refering to everything else). How the hell can it have been in the works since shogun, and the MP still be in this state?!?! The fact that problems from MTW 1.0 have appeared again is just ..... .

Shahed 18:50 09-24-2004

RTW is a primarily SP game, I imagine, like MTW was. I gave it on TW MP coz there isnt the will to make it playable. I'll play RTW, but mostly single player i think, sadly.

Hey Sinan, hope you are well.
I agree with you my friend, RTW does seem geared more to SP than the previous titles but certain things are just so bizarre as to border on comedy. One player, one faction !!! What kind of rubbish is this??? That was patched out of MTW so how has that turned up again?

3v3 max !!!!!!
How will that impact the Clan structure of TW MP community? What's the point in being in a Clan now? Unless these perhaps form sub Clans? Tourneys would be difficult...Celtibero could field about four 3 man teams on any given night.
Given the choice of a huge 4v4 struggle on a massive map, or sweet new graphics and 3v3 max, I'd pick the former every time. 3D graphics, lovely as they are, become worthless in battle, they are only good for watching replays IMO.

Create your own Historical battles and play these online with yer mates
What's the point in this? Can I create a nice 3v3 Parthia v Rome?

Good grief this is such a shambles!!!

I accept SP sounds astounding and I am so pleased to hear this but I'm afraid I agree with Mitch, it's the battles that make this game and it soon gets boring beating the AI which requires false stat increases to give you some competition.

I just expected much more after all the hype
