Sithcloak Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I would only do 16 if there were teams and a large level. Otherwise i would probley host 8 - 10 player games. Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Well I'll probably start out with a LAN game against my sis, and then work my way up from there. So I'll probably end up fighting 16 opponents at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHerring Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Playing CTF with 4 players is the most.......AHH!!!!!!.....goooo!!!!..... well i'm a tribes player and big ass games are the best. If you're talking about Deathmatch then 4 peeps would be good if you're all the same skill level, but can get boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 The more people the better, I will definately be participating in 16 player games. I too, will be playing over LAN though with my girlfriend... two people's fine for awhile, but I always want LOTS of players to kill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krayt Tion Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 It depends entirely on what type of Multiplayer mode I will be playing and on what levels. Generally speaking, for CTF, the more the merrier. Generally speaking, for Team Deathmatch, the more the merrier. Generally speaking... I will always gravitate towards more people on larger maps, with the expection of lightsaber dueling. Actually, even then, it would be cool to duel one on one with a lot more people watching you do your thing- more people in witness to your glorious SkillZ and more people to chat with while you are waiting for your shot at the champ. On other team-based games like Day of Defeat or Counter-Strike I like to play with as many people as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L'Equa Sinar Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I can see it now, 2 Jedi's dueling in the arena, myself and 20 others watching on, i get called out next to face the champion....we walk towards eachother, we swing back, and POW! I'm dead... Laughed at by all!!!! Ahh well, the exhileration of this jedi dueling will be so damned good :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasuki Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 don know I'm gonna try it with low people and high people first before I decide which is better. I liked the low amount in the first one but I bet I'll go towards the massive games. I'm a little worried about peeps running around with thermal dets and tossing them into massive groups. CAn you force push those away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disconnect Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 As a tribes player, 16 player games sound small. Bring on the 32 player games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I may start with 4 player games at first to get the feel of it, then I'll go ahead and play 16+ players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Depends on what the map is recommended for. Obviously, a small map could be horribly unfun with 16 players, while a huge map would become a hide and seek game unless you had some more than 4 (the challenge at nar shaddaa comes to mind). What I liked about UT was that even if just my roommate and I were playing, we could still have a fully fledged team game, with the two of us plus a bunch of bots, verses a team of bots, or each of us on our own team, with a squad of bot teammates, verses each other. 16 total combatants can make for a more intense game, even if they are not all human. But that's not for every situation. If we were playing a saber dueling room with only one arena (1 vs. 1 at a time) then having 16 people would probably take too long (and if the people were good, those duels would last even longer, making the waiting more annoying). I do hope they put in some multi-arena dueling maps, so that it's not just all waiting (I loved RuneHOV's arena mode, but it could have standed some improvements). Also the ability to have teams duking it out in that fashion. But we'll have to wait and see if that's not in there already and we just don't know about it. ; ) It will be neat to see those team force powers come into play as well, and the gun turrets and other "Team Fortress"-esque modes. Eventually we'll see somebody put in a class-based MP mode I'm sure to get the "full feel." The team-force powers would be great in theory for big games, because I think that they don't lose their effectiveness after a certain point (using it on 4 people would have the same effect as using it on 8 people). Though for a lot of the force stuff, it's going to be tough to target stuff when there's that many people running around shooting/bombing/sabering/using the force all at once. Hope the bots take orders well... I liked how you could bind commands to keys in UT and they responded verbally to you. Q3 I think you had to write scripts (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) but you had more overall commands than UT. UT had a great UI, I just loved it. ; ) So yes, if I have the option to have 16 players, I will take advantage of it, but there will still be instances where having less than that will be more desirable.

Locke101 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Personally. The only time i play with lots of people 16-32, it is for team matches. If it is FFA it gets way to hectic. Try it with Quake 3, it is CRAZY!!! If it is FFA, then i would probably do about 8-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Well like it's been said, just having one opponents has it charms as well, I can't exactly say if I prefer any amount of players over another. Both just one or a few or many opponents can be fun for me. Each requires their own playing style, with one opponent you can concentrate completely on that one opponent and also know that you won't be interrupted in a saber duel. While with several opponents you'll need to keep an eye on the other players besides your main "prey" And make sure that the both of you don't get turned into mincemeat while you two are having a saber duel. etc etc. So heck, either one or one hundred opponents, bring them on lol, as long as I have fun. (after all.. that's what gaming is about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raxius Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I, personally, have always prefered larger games. Even in JK, i would play IP games with 8 ppl. So, bring it on, one and, more preferably, all, let's have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coligeon Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Lol, I probably won't go more then 10 people per game. My 28.8 connection can only handle so much ^_^ (seriously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio Warrior Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Originally posted by Kx_Dra_Sycdan i'm on 56k so i'll be playing 2-4 player games ( exciting!!! ) they made it 16 max for 56k and its 32 max for cable so you can still do big games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoowl Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Although I would never consider a 16 player online game (56k ) I think it would be interesting to see the sheer scale of it while playing with bots. It could be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
