How Much Would You Pay II

[TosaInu]

I think the amount of posters in the MP section says it all. I doubt going for a seperate MP game (even when comes with the SP game as Tosa said) is just not worth the effort.

That is correct I think, but it's a bit of a stalemate. Seperating MP more from SP will allow MP to evolve while riding on SP's success.

I don't think a separate entire game is necessary to get the type of game we would like to see MP be. Just separating out the stats and AI scripts, making the MP ones easily accessible for modding, would be a major step in the right direction.

How did you get that number?

Dont tell me none of you know this trick and how to spot people with more than one name.

But then 4000 still is kinda low I think, considering how many of them only play MP once

I doubt many play it only once. I know that once I played online I couldnt even bother with the camp game in any TW series. Also Im sure RTW has or had far more players than MTW2 has at the moment.

I don't see any reason to separate the MP and SP portions of the game. Adding the features listed by Orda to the current game and fixing the present crop of critical bugs (shields, 2H, cav push etc.) would be a better solution IMO.

Couldn't they make the MP portion a separate, down-load only version, like some of the BF2 expansion packs? Not having to produce cds should cut the overhead a bit. Could a MP only version be easily moddable enough, so as not to take more than a month or two by dedicated, knowledgeable community members to tweak?
I'd pay $20-25 for that plus a $5-10/monthly server fee. If the game is not to my liking, that would only be a loss of $30-35. I've got games I don't like sitting in a box that I've paid as much and more for already.
To get something like this, the object is to convince the game manufacturer that there's a profit to be had, they aren't going to do it as a community service. So far, at least, that hasn't happened. A real shame, because I know some of you have invested much blood, sweat, and tears over the years about MP.

Only if it's free, I think plenty of people don't have creditcards

Nothing will be had for free.

That and there are some of us who violently object to incredibly lame monthly fees in general, period. No double dipping, kthx.
