digl Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 4.01 What kind of multiplayer server options will Jedi Outcast have? Jedi Outcast players will be able to use the standard Quake III-type in-game browser to find games online, start their own servers for online play, and create private servers to play with friends/clans, etc. We are still in the development process and are investigating all server options. It's quite possible that additional gaming services, including the Zone, will be supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digl Posted December 20, 2001 Author Share Posted December 20, 2001 I also feel that way, but I didnt post any comment because I was sure DSs would be included Im not too worried about other systems, I guess Ill use the favorites only, and not any zone like thing What I want to know about MP however is the different playing modes. They have only named DM, team DM (which doesnt even count IMO) and CTF I also want an estimation of how many players will be supported, or how many the game will stand and be playable without starting to get extremely laggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Simpson Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Heh, I was just about to post this topic when I saw you already did digl. =) The update is like sweet music, I'm really glad they are trying to support as many server options as possible.

DarthLocutus Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 Digl, I am not sure what you expect. JK had DM and CTF. That was it. JK's multiplayer was rather successful I would have thought. So the JO team is actually ADDING another mode, team DM. What do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[SWS]Strider Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 About the multiplayer modes, Raven only had DM, TDM and CTF with Elite Force. They released a expansion later on that included alot of different games. I could see some of these being adapted to fit the SW univerese. Lets hope they include more that just the 4 typical ones.

Wilhuf Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I hope Aristotle and ZeroX consider that in the very near future it would make sense to start up a multiplayer server administration forum. There we can discuss the technical aspects of and share tips on server administration! As a starting point, there is a lot of existing material online on Q3 tech server administration (e.g. for Q3, Elite Force, etc.). I am confident much of it will be applicable to Jedi Outcast.

JK's multiplayer was rather successful I would have thought. So the JO team is actually ADDING another mode, team DM. What do you expect? Team DM was included in JK, and MotS had a new mode, KFY OW was going to have new modes (capture the queen, and maybe others I dont remember) Most new mp fps have really good team based modes, Id like something like UT`s assault, or something like classed based play in RtCW, in the SW universe you could make some very good things like that, with Jedi, non jedi, maybe medic droid players, etc JK MP was succesful, but that doesnt mean they should make the game a JK clon with beter graphics, they must innovate Now Im not worried, Brett Tosti said the following in an interview "Jedi Outcast will definitely support the multi-player experience. The game will contain standard multi-player game formats like Deathmatch and CTF. Jedi Outcast will also include some new game modes" We will probably know more about those modes soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthLocutus Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Team DM will be slightly different in JO as in JK it was just based on colours. JO will probably have that as well as imp vs rebel etc. So a slight difference which will support some gaming leagues such as LSF well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted December 22, 2001 Author Share Posted December 22, 2001 how do you know how will team dm work? imp vs reb etc wouldnt make much sense only for the sake of dm,it would be only different models imp vs rebel should be in but something like infiltrate, not just plain dm.

DarthLocutus Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 The recent chat: "q: good one! can you elaborate on team based mp? a: "we will have team based and of course, the different factions of the rebel and imperial forces.And of course, CTF as well" Mate, you don't make much sense. I suggest you get off your pedestal because LA/Raven does not care what you think about their MP modes...and they won't ever. So do yourself a favor for your own sanity and calm down.

Wilhuf Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 LA/Raven does not care what you think about their MP modes...and they won't ever. If that were true, Raven and LEC would not have clarified to fans both in chat and on the Jedi Outcast website that no cooperative multiplayer mode was available.

ed_silvergun Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Originally posted by DarthLocutus So do yourself a favor for your own sanity and calm down. There's only one person in this thread who's over-reacting. He was only asking how having Imperials and Rebels would affect team DM aside from the obvious differences of skin. You're the one who isn't making much sense. What's the point of having Imperials vs Rebels if it isn't a separate mode? Why don't one team just all choose Imperial skins and the other choose Rebel skins in standard team DM if it's just a matter of cosmetics? If Raven and LEC saw fit to mention this at the chat it's got to have more significance than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_silvergun Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Originally posted by DarthLocutus I'm sure digl can type (barely). That was unnecessary.

digl Posted December 24, 2001 Author Share Posted December 24, 2001 ok lets all come down yesterday was the only day I couldnt visit the forums and look what happened "q: good one! can you elaborate on team based mp? a: "we will have team based and of course, the different factions of the rebel and imperial forces.And of course, CTF as well" I posted that. I forgot, should I memorize everything I read about the game? Thanks ed, you explained exactly what I was talking about [EDIT - Stormy ] And Raven people do read the forums, and they probably care about what I think of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthLocutus Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 [EDIT - Stormy ] "I posted that. I forgot, should I memorize everything I read about the game? Thanks ed, you explained exactly what I was talking about" I also predict that reb vs imp will be *exactly* like dm with skins appropriate. I wouldn't expect much complexity in a FPS game, boys. You all underestimate the laziness of the human species. A mode like that would benefit a gaming league which plays JK/JKII. I know, as I was in one. Raven have decided long ago, by themselves, what multiplayer modes they are going to have. [EDIT - Stormy ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
