RTW multiplayer is dead

**FearZeus** · 10-04-2004, 11:03

Well guys,

After 2 years of total war i am now sadly leaving, I have never waited for a game with such anticipation as I had for this game, and yet it absolutly sucks!
the multiplayer laggs, chat is a mess (to use and read) the movement of map is all over the place, moving army in formation is ugly and difficult, graphics os characters from max height is ugly to say the least, I just so unhappy with this games multiplayer side.

As for singler player, well I have not played single player yet but as most friends that know me on MTW know that I am not a single player type person on any game no matter how good, I like to be imvolved with real people, yes I like the arguments and slagging off as well ;)

Anyway I can't see anything being able to fix this game in the form of patches for a long time, besides it just looks like they have not got an interest tbh.

I leave now in search of my next big favourite game and wish all my old friends luck with RTW!

See you guys

Hello Zeus, it's Thing

It's too bad this had to happen to Total War games. I can't blame you for having reasonable standards. Keep in touch with us about the games you find! I'm sure the site will be back up soon.

i played my first.... and last pre-patch RTW MP game yesterday!!

After SEVENTEEN crash to desktops before getting into the lobby (yes i counted), it was worse than i could have ever expected. The foyer interface is FAR WORSE that MTW 1.0 (is that even possible?!?!) , i mean you cant even see pings for crying out loud!?!??!

.. and i wont even get into the rest. i have NEVER seen a more crappy, thoughtless, unstable, and downright lame multiplayer interface in my entire life, period.

seriously... what a farce. They should be ashamed to release it in that state imo.

Sorry to see you are leaving Zeus, but RTW MP has already been killed imo. Yea their will be a hardcore who will wait for this beta to be brought up to acceptable standards, but all the new players who dont have the patience will be lost for good, so basically the community has been stunted from the word go (i think that is what CA wants tho, why else could it be released before even being tested?), and will eventually die for good (again maybe that is their plan, going by the experience of the last tw titles it wouldnt suprise me).

im so irritated im gonna have to stop there before i get to ....

As much i enjoy RTW SP, i am quite dispointed too, as in 2 week i manage to log in only once (and couldnt even play as i have felt out of sync).... 1st my game was freezing, now i am plagued with crash to desktop when trying to log in....

Nice to hear from you guys,

I agree totally lammy, it's very annoying indeed... this is not the game i wanted and i am taking mine back for a full refund! hello thing ;) what's up with the forum m8? any ideas?

I will keep to the forums but as for RTW it's the END for me!
