MP Wishlist @ .COM

OK, time for us to start posting at the .com and getting our voice heard. Together we can prevent the gangbanging SP crowd. I made a Kingdoms wishlist post, please post what you want for MP in Kingdoms.

sure. not to start a flame war, but yea, I seen SP player gangbang MP and quite annoying.

Almost no-one visits .coms MP forum (it's just the members of the NF clan and me normally) so your save from the hardcore SP fans, tho I do suggest to be kind to them. .com has strict rules.

I also suggest you don't have it stickied but send to someone from CA, they never check the MP forum

I keep saying we need seperate patches for mp and sp. Then we could concentrate on making mp better. I could care less about sp. Im sure there are many here who agree. Sp is only good for testing armies in custom battles and you could make a patch that works on that as part of the mp patch as well.

Agreed. Future is on MP not on SP. It is up to them if they want this to realize or not. I will purchase expansion when released in December. If there would be no improvements for MP I will understand this as ignorance and only memories on Total War series will remain.

No, no and no.

TW Kind of games has no MP future! The battles itself cant provide enought entertainment! Back in 2000 the battles was something new, but times changed and if u consider that the mecanics got dumped down a lot, the whole game changed more to a funny setup-pic-click-some game.

If u take the current game i miss a lot deep gameplay....im not goin deeper in this...

So right now people who wanna have battles online vs other player suely go and play the new starcraft II or many play Wc3....
The online market for TW is small and will never ever change, unless they change the gamestyle completly and than it wouldnt be TW anymore.

I know that CA and back in the days EA made market researches about the MP market with their game and the result was glassclear!
There wont be any focus on MP.

The phrase, that the future of of gaming lay in the onlinemarket is an old shoo... Its tiresome. While its true for certain game types, for TW kind of games it isnt!

That's advocated since 2001.

Computers become more and more powerful, so more should be expected from 'creative'/'responsive' AI gameplay. I won't make claims about tomorrow though.

Not every person wants the extra emotional load from online games (whether that's patience to wait for a game or something else).

Both SP and MP have a future. It's contra-productive for MP to bash SP and vice versa. While both are different ballgames, both are ballgames from the same factory.

It's well known that the future of all games is MP, everyone who plays MP started out on SP anyhow.

Your right. But my poibnt is their two very different communities. Stop trying to package them together. There was a thread on this earlier about a dedicated mp game. OK let them release the game with both. But afterwards make 2 differnt patches. It cant be that hard.

That's advocated since 2001.

Well as you know Tosa im a noob here only started playing in 2002

I must have missed that one. So why hasnt it been done?

The future marketing may say that SP is the future, because those overly powerful processors have to be sold. CPU's that are no longer required for the human to show his tricks online, but for the AI to unleash everything even Mars can't counter.
