KISS Army Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 From this thread: http://209.126.167.135/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30689 ******** German PC Action mag (currently no.3 saleswise...) has a nice, 2 page preview of JK II in it's newest issue (out today ). Here are some pure facts, some might be known, others maybe not ... - 20 levels in singleplayer (some very big according to text) - 10 weapons (so the one thread about weapons seemed to be right) - up to 64 (!) players in multiplayer .... ************** I just want everyone to know that there are "over" 20 levels and "over" 10 weapons. Keep in mind, too, that 64 players is the theoretical limit of players in Quake 3, assuming everyone has uber hardware to run the server and the bandwidth to support it. I think 32 players is a more reasonable estimate and I think that in most games 16 or 24 is more realistic/practical. Thought I'd give everyone a "heads up." Have a great weekend, guys and gals! --Kenn Kenn Hoekstra Raven Software
Obi Kwan Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Thanks Kenn ; I did think that 64 was pretty big. Still, 24 beats JK's 4 player games! (on the zone)
Rat Boy Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 "Over"? You mean you don't know for certain??????
MRJ Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Obi Kwan- you called him Ken- it's Kenn... Well, it's been nice knowin' ya (remember, he knows John Mullins...)

GonkH8er Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 I think John Mullins died so many digital deaths at the hands of us, he'd be afraid to come near us for fear of us blowing away half his head with a deagle
ZeroXcape Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Aye, thanks Kenn. I'll mention this first thing tommorow morning on the site, (got to let the new screens post sink in some.) I think the last headline you made was "Kenn Mentions JKII," so I guess this one will have to be "Kenn Corrects Community." Thanks,
Obi Kwan Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 ahh my sincerest appologies KENN and MRJ... and any other Ravenites browsing this thread! I think just for that, i should be demoted to Gungan status;) (actually, with my number of posts that may be a promotion...)
JR2000Z Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Kinda hard playing mulitplayer games with 64 players without experiencing lag ; especially games like JK2. Thanks for the info Ken.

Thanks for the info Ken. There's always LAN Parties... Speaking of which, anyone hitting up <a href="http://www.lanwar.com/">Lan War</a> this weekend?
GonkH8er Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Originally posted by JR2000Z Thanks for the info Ken. IT'S KENN! KENN KENN KENN! hehehe
JR2000Z Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Originally posted by GonkH8er IT'S KENN! KENN KENN KENN! hehehe I'm sure Kenn also has trouble spelling his name.
JR2000Z Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Actually, I might call him Kenny for the time being. Easier to remember and to spell correctly. (My 5000th post! A-1 SUPAR! :) )
Com Raven Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Sorry Kenn, but that's what they wrote .... But according to text they were in California to see the game, so I thought they'd be right about it ...
Agen Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 What did i tell yas I told u all the mag's i read had over 10 but noooooooo... u go believe some german mag!!! i deserve.... a........ roll and sausage.... who's gonna give me it.....? ken or MJR

Agen Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 what!!! u mean no-one believed me when i said i stole a copy of jk2 and i'm playing it now!!! Damn you people!
Guest X-Vector Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Originally posted by KISS Army I think 32 players is a more reasonable estimate and I think that in most games 16 or 24 is more realistic/practical. Does that mean having 32 players in JO MP will be unrealistic/unpractical for gameplay or technical reasons? I'd expect it to be the former, because there are plenty of 32-player matches to be had in RTCW MP, which is also a Q3 engine title.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Can you imagine how big mp levels would have to be for 64 players. Even a T3 connection would struggle. Even 32 players seems alot for one level......in JK anyway. Maybe these mp levels will be HUGE .......I hope so anyway.
Swoosh Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 I don't really think I'd want to see 63 other Jedi running around a level...that would pretty much eliminate lightsaber dueling and create a world like in Q3 with mass numbers of deaths and there's no strategy except run and swing! I think 8 or 16 will provide a great game and keep the multiplayer games similar to those of Jedi Knight. But, in no means is 64 bad...you might as well support that many if the technology permits it.

Well, with a good connection 32's no prob in RtCW With good server it can be as good as 30-40 ping with dsl ...
