KPM Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Sorry if it's been covered, but will the StarWars BattleFront community get support off the game developers, Patches, PunkBuster...etc.... ?
Alegis Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Lucasarts doesn't like punkbuster, I don't think it would be added at all Patches; Well with the different bonuses on each side, I think a patch could be released after a month or two, fixing the balance and some bugs.
Paragon_Leon Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Most games get a patch, maybe two; especially those with an online gaming community. Depending on the success of Battlefront, I would guess we can expect at least one expansion pack, two patches and some downloadable maps to enhance / encourage online play. It worked wonders for Battlefield; people are still crowding the servers of the original game, due to lots of support, patches (about 5 already; all enhancing the experience) and numerous downloadable maps. The latest version of Battlefied included a map-editor; about 14 months after it's release ! That all goes to show how faith in the longevity of a game can make or break it..
KPM Posted February 14, 2004 Author Posted February 14, 2004 The game looks like it will be popular, with popularity comes cheats....will the comunity be left up to making anti-cheat programs?....Still, is there hope for PunkBuster? if not then will they atleast offer somthing else?
Alegis Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 they'll just offer security updates i think instead, punkbuster is a third client program and my guess is LEC doesn't like to combine it with their product, or offer support for it etc
