JEDI OUTCAST Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 do we all think that msn gaming zone will put jedi outcast on because i hope so play like on the trailer that is going to be cool
JediDante Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 I really don't think so! It will prob have Gamespy support, and it's own bulit in server list to join from the game.
Redwing Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 I believe it has been hinted they will have Zone support.
JediDante Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 Really?? If so I think to some point it would be cool! but not really when I can just use Gamespy arcade
The Truthful Liar Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 There is a 50/50 percent Chance that JK2 will be supported on Zone, but... I DOUBT IT!! You await a new gaming world, pHeAr Us... Oh, btw - I play JK1 on the zone AB_Legion is my nick... Cheers
The Truthful Liar Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 Hey, Welcome to the JK2.net forums JEDI OUTCAST *Me steals you a choclate medallion from Storm Hammer* There you go and happy posting Cheers
Guest JaGReiKo Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 The zone sucks, its to laggy and so dumb having to d/l all that new update ****, its not worth it.
Qel Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 2 words...Gamespy(arcade) sucks... Its been confirmed that there will be a in-game server browser......which is really cool. Check it out...part of the official FAQ 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 Qel
B0MBER II Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 It'll be on the Zone ALL Star Wars games that have multiplayer have been on the zone so why not this one?
Bio Warrior Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 who really cares about crappy zone we will have an ingame browser
MadQuack Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 I'm glad we'll probably have the benefit of an ingame browser. I'm not to fond of the Zone anymore. Or Gamespy, for that matter.
Bio Warrior Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 well the ingame browser has been confirmed
DeathBoLT Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 i hope it has an ingame mirc access.. that was really useful in UT..
Emon Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 It's highly unlikely there will be Zone support. The Zone isn't made for dedicated servers, like Q3, JK2, RtCW, Half-Life, Elite Force, etc., it's just not in their software, and I'm sure they won't add it. Besides, they don't have support for any other Q3 based games, they probably won't for this. It's not up to Raven or LEC, it's up to Microsoft. GameSpy is okay. JK2 is on their supported games list, but it'll be like any other Q3 based game they have there, meaning it just lets your browse servers via GameSpy instead of through the game itself.
Zodiac Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 Originally posted by B0MBER II It'll be on the Zone ALL Star Wars games that have multiplayer have been on the zone so why not this one? cuz this is the first SW game that'll use an engine which uses dedicated servers.
WD_ToRMeNt Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 Bah, who would want to play on the zone where you're gonna have 56kers trying to host when you can use the ingame browser and play on dedicated server running off a t1.
Wilhuf Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 Atually the Zone does support dedicated servers. The Zone lists MechWarrior4 dedicated servers for example. I wouldn't rule out Zone support for Outcast. Yet.
DeathBoLT Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 the way the zone regulates the chat is probably the worst part..
Raze Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 To all those dedicated server-happies, how are you going to participate in a 1on1 saber tourney? I'd rather use the zone above some ip-exchange in an irc room...
Kurgan Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Quake2 had Zone support (it was just a really tiny community, compared to off the zone). The Zone sucks.. I agree. But as long as it's free, and it's not the only option, I have no problem with it being there. I hope the in-game browser is better than the vanilla Quake3 one... I'm sure Qtracker will add support once the game is out. ; ) As to one on one saber tournies, those will be a snap on public servers with the "arena" type modules (much like rocket arena in other FPS games, or Arena mode in Rune/HOV). I think even if the Zone was supported, I would never use it. I'd use the in-game browser until a better external program came out (like Qtracker), and then post/check favorites from the LucasGamesNetwork servers (which I'm sure will happen once the game is out) and setup the occasional LAN/IP private game.

Zone has no support for dedicated servers (...yet...).
Wilhuf Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Zodiac, those ops didnt have their facts straight. Zone supported dedicated servers starting with Allegiance. You can download the Allegiance dedicated server software directly from Microsoft. Gotta love such professional advice coming out of the Zone. The registered version of Gamespy3D (not gamespy Arcade) has a rather cool feature. It will help you and your game buddies find the 'mutually best' ping to a dedicated game server. It compares the pings of collections of players and finds the best overall server ping for all players in the collection.

brosser_1999 Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 The Zone was nothing but a hassle. Lag, software updates, but once you get a good game started its all worth it....
