deanb Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 @Ethan: Have you played already? It's one of those annoying games that dumps you in a tutorial before throwing the menu at you which I hate :/ I'm gonna plug my 360 pad in and play about with that for a bit, see which I like the feel of more. @Brain: I'm on now. Getting a feel for it. I'm going to be pulling an all-nighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 @Brain: I'm on now. Getting a feel for it. I'm going to be pulling an all-nighter. Sweeeet. Give me two hours (or less, depending) and I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, I did the tutorial a little while ago. I'm gonna jump on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheermee Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ok I think I need to get this and see how different it is from the 360 version. And to school the people who try to play this like TF2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mergedwarrior Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ethan, you could just come in the Kotakuites chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ethan, you could just come in the Kotakuites chat. ? Also, has everybody else been having trouble getting into games? Last night I was only able to get into 3, and 2 were lagging so bad that they didn't even really count.

deanb Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah same here. I kinda updated my other post about it. I've only managed one MP game upto now. And the ping on most is horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 The one game I was able to actually get into and play, the mission timer was 1 hour. Is that normal in the PC games? On the 360 it's 15 minutes. I just wanted to know whether they were all like that or the server I was on had a custom time setting.

toxicitizen Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, long games aren't unusual. That's the beauty of dedicated servers, though. You can set one up however the hell you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brida Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 an hour is a ridiculous amount of time for a match in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintycrys Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 A whole hour? I'd fucking kill myself. Or just take pleasure in spawn camping the match host until he and every subsequent host migratee quit the lobby out of pure frustration.

Last night I was only able to get into 3, and 2 were lagging so bad that they didn't even really count. I think he was saying if you were looking for a game, there would probably be people playing in there. Also, yeah, I played on a 100 > ping server last night and the lag was ridiculous. Gave up and played the single player a little bit to get used to the game (haven't played it on 360). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well I meant for PC games in general when I said it wasn't unusual. Played for about an hour earlier and I have to admit it's pretty damn good for a 15$ game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 @Minty: There are no "hosts" in dedicated server play like there is in matchmaking, so no host migration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've being posting in the general MNC thread; The beta is actually at the moment P2P which explains the huge lag. Buuut they're running the game as if it was on Dedis. Which means they've got all the bad points of P2P but none of the benefits. I hope they get some Dedi's up ASAP or this game will be unplayable. I can only enjoy SP so much. Or/And they include matchmaking so folks could at least join up with friends. There's quite a few embarrassingly amateur mistakes and issues in MNC PC.

TheMightyEthan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Which is why we have betas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Even without matchmaking, isn't there a way to join people that are on your Steam friends list when they're already in-game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Betas should be for bug fixing not feature addition (and very rarely do Beta's add features, that's normally Alpha stage stuff) The MP mode at the moment is missing some pretty basic features, weirdly things Steamworks supports out the box.

TheMightyEthan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Does anyone know what the update that just went live for this does? It's massive, almost as big as the game itself was. Like 1.6 GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintycrys Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I enjoyed seeing the few balance changes in that patch, namely increased rail gun clip size and reduced amount of juice from Tanks deploying in front of LazerBlazers. Looks like we console-side folks'll probably be on the ass end of those changes soon enough, if we aren't already... Also, this gave me pause: Awesome! This gives me high hopes! Once the engine is running 100% and it's a 100% "PC game" if you will, hopefully they will focusing on balancing for us PC users, since we're more used to the tactical side of things, not invisible units running up and 1 hitting us Oh dear.
