SoF2 To Have Multiplayer

Unfortunate to hear Raven wasting their time like this.

A month or two after release this will have 30 people playing online, just like SOF did, and just like Elite Force did.

Hopefully the singleplay game doesn't suffer.

Who cares? This will essentially be the same activity held in every other game with FFA and Team DM. Get gun, shoot players until you die. The only thing more cliched is CTF. Why should we put pressure on the developers to make these half-assed add-ons to what is essentially a single player game for the sake of a feature that EVERYBODY's seen before and that has been done better elsewhere.

What about this game's multiplayer will be unique and different than SoF 1? What about this game's multiplayer will be unique and different than Unreal, than Quake2, than Elite Force?

My point is, the current trend has been such that developers made a decision early on in a game's development that the game would either be single or multiplayer. Look at Deus Ex (ignoring the appearently hastily thrown together add-on), look at Max Payne.

True, these games had little replay value on their own, but do you honestly think that running around through random corridors in the respective game's settings firing off the respective games weapons would really hold the attraction the development time to implement warrented?

FFA and Team Deathmatch has been done, and it's been done very well a couple of times. If you're going to add a multiplayer component, make it unique and different. I was very disappointed with Elite Force's multiplayer. How sad was it that they decided that, "Well, we need multiplayer or everyone will bitch. Hm, probably the easiest route would be to basically make Quake3 with Star Trek weapons." They were calling it Holomatch. I was hoping for a game (or at least an attempt at a simulation) of something the crew would do on the holodeck. Perhaps a tactical combat trainer or an objective based mission simulator. Not Quake3 with Star Trek weapons.

In short, the days of tacking on multiplayer should be over. Yes, I want a multiplayer component, but I'd rather nothing at all than FFA and Team DM. Spend you time and effort improving the single player game or make something truly unique if it'll support multiplayer.

I love this! I used to love SOF MP. Me and about 250 people did :) The thing I like about this is the fact that it opens the door to mods. If there was no MP then there would be no chance for mods. Now atleast there is a chance!

All it needs is an Action or CS mod and things will be perfect.

100 unique model/skin combinations

Translation: 4 models, 25 skins.

Everyone will go back to CS/Q3A/UT a week after this game comes out.

Uhm, why does anyone care? Since 9/10 Fps' come with multiplayer and only 1 or 2 get played consistantly online, why does everyone make such a deal about stuff they're never gonna play?

I bet they knew they were going to have MP in SOF2 all along. And since they knew they would only be able to have FFA and TDM, which isn't much compared to RTCW extensive teamfortress/counterstrikeish MP modes, they got everyone worried there would be no MP at all. This way when they do announce MP will be added, you think FFA and TDM is plenty of MP action, when in reality it isn't.

WTF am I talking about????!!


note to self stop posting when your very high!

That's kinda funny. I mean, yea its cool and all but who played the original SoF multiplayer? I did, but it was just me and like 20 other people online... Everyone's happy and all but it seriously doesn't matter since no one will play...

Unless some good mods are released for it. CS2

Looks like they don't want to be * M A X P A Y N E ' D *]b

I hope SOF2 has a Hand-Cannon like 1 did. >:D

/me snuggles Raven's buttery insides

I guess we should be happy with this multiplayer, but I seriously doubt many people will play THIS vanilla deathmatch over all the other vanilla deathmatches.

This game is IDEAL for some sort of tactical realistic team-based multiplayer. I wish more publishers would follow wolfenstein's lead and innovate in multiplayer just like they do in singleplayer. It sounds to me like they are putting it in just to put it in.

They get bonus points over, say, Max Payne, however.

Ok thats great but....

Where is the fun in playing the same deathmatch modes over and over again.
I agree with whoever (look for the comment) said that teams (like the Wolf team) need to invent better deathmatch modes than gran a gun and go nuts, or team gun grabbing and going nuts.

*waiting for RTCW before riding off into the sunset*

But will it have co-op? I'm so sick of deathmatch crap, they need to revive the fun of running around in doom with a buddy and killing demons

I've said it before, RAVEN GUYS KICK ASS!

Good day.

I have only one thing to say, and that is:

YAY!

Thank you, that would be all.
