Build it . . . they will come

It's nice to hear that the multiplayer format will be more player friendly this time around

How'dya know what online play will be like sarge?

They already announced it will be up to 32 ppl... I watched some of the interviews and Randy Pitchford even said "Erase everything you remember about BIA multiplayer" and i dont remember the rest....

They said they'll be teamdeathmatch, and some other(s) game styles that they've been working on that they don't want to share now.

It seems they want to promote teamplay in MP, but at the same time allow single players to show ready to play; and to play with others they know, others they hook up with, or simply play in the group as a solo player.

Sarge,
Have you seen the graphics? You need atleast 128mb videocard to play Hells Highway. Everybody needs to update their videocards or buy a faster PC. No dial up zone will be in effect on my server and I hope that Hell Highway is every bit as intense as Earned in Blood.

I played EiB's skirmish and multiplayer mode and IT SUX!!!!.This is a squad based game,my opinion is that the Run'n'Gun games are from Multiplayer,not the squad based ones.So I will not play it on MP mode.

That`s great allen, you`ve only stated that in every forum that talks about multiplayer. Now how about something positive about it. Like maybe they make it so more people can play it at one time.

That's fine with me, but you know will end up online.
Anyway, if you don't I have Private Garnett on my fire team and he don't complain half as much as you do!

MP = is simply internet play. MP is niether squad based or run and gun. MP is simply a way to play the game with other live players over the internet, any time, any place.


You're right the old approach to squad base play, didn't work, not because it doesn't work from a software sense, but rather online players don't show up in nice packaged groups of 4 or 5 players ready to go. Internet players "come" and "leave" the internet in a random, chaotic fashion. Things happen, players have to leave, group play gets distrubed. Players play at different times in different time zones.

That being said the folks at Gearbox had hear our crys, and have made changes, in answer to those crys.

Rather than btcih about the past, let works with these guys, and they will give a little time, give us ( the market place ) what we want to play and $$pay for.

IMHO, the gearbox folks are going to offer us a happy medium, a way to play with or without the dependancy on having to "play as a group"

well, i hope they keep the skirmish mode, cuz i liked playing in a german campaign, an extra no story american campaign an i liked to see how far i cood get without dying, and i loved defending, thats the onee thing i cood have fun with on Multiplayer, i usualy just played with a friend tho, hard to find ppl

I think the new MP is going to be great if there is team deathmatch because I would like to have the option of supressing the enemy with my fire team(made up of real people), or follow my assault team and flank them with real people.

I also think it would be awesome if the highest ranked person on the leaderboards playing on your server has to be the sargeant commanding all of the other human soldiers on live

imagine the possibilities............

i hope more than anything that u can promote and demote rankings in clans instead of having to play ranked games to get ur ranking up, because if playn games makes ur rank go up than its just a ranking not a position of leadership and means nothing...so if its based on real strategy i hope clans will be more organised with rankings and actualy have certain ppl in charge altho the majority of players wont care and will just shoot anyone and anything... i want to play with actual strategy instead of running and gunning

A mapeditor is very nice

MP = is simply internet play. MP is niether squad based or run and gun. MP is simply a way to play the game with other live players over the internet, any time, any place.[/QUOTE]Yeah ok but it's still sux.I'm gonna play Counter Strike 1.6 or Call of Duty 2 for MP

P.S:Welcome to this forum ReGrOuP!!!!!

Counter Strike/ The source is far better than 1.6 and COD2 IS...well we all know what COD2 and BIA ain't it, so quit making comparisons, private or you'll never get that field promotion.

heres something that could be used SP & MP and with your headset

-instead of clicking a button to say "move to that position" you could use you voice and say it into your headset.(it would also give the developers more buttons to use)

the voice commands could by used for every commands too, and it isn't limited to "move to that position" you could also say "move to that cover" or "go! go! go!"

That would be great for SP and could also work for MP

Ok, we'll all do that! So what do with the right mouse button?

THat would be awesome if they made Multiplayer Cross platform, PCvs360 so i could whoop you tyrone

i hope the multiplayer will be like day of defeat source.a big map and you may choose your class and weapons that you want.

In Hell's Highway multiplayer, it's all player-controlled right? They ditched the squad-based stuff? Good! I hope you get your class selected for you, based on the squad roles, like in Red Orchestra, because I couldn't stand to see it ruined by a bunch of people running around with MP-40s and Thompsons!
