mithrandir 0 Posted May 16, 2002 I've been away for a while...have no possibility to test it myself  * What is your impression on the new beta netcode? * Will the new lobby improve usability of MP? * Are the ping rates any better? * Will the best game ever, be even better with the new netcode?

gonk 0 Posted May 17, 2002 MP code is a lot better.. I have a 56 k modem (no other choice ) and it works very well.. I do not slow down the other players game play and lag for me is noticable but playable. I guess you can squeeze only so much down a phone line. I can host more than 2 ppl co-op without it becoming totally unplayable. Before if I hosted a 3 ppl co-op game I had to select a mission with very little AI and if I tried to do a 4 ppl co-op... I had to switch back to DM or CTF with no AI. Playing on a ded server is fantastic (Placebo's). Looks like Resistance will be a very good game all round. Pings are the same..as this is to do more with your line connection than the program. The new lobby takes a bit to get used to ...the old one you were able to see all positions open at once where this one you have to select the side to see who is in it... There is no Join in play... which I think would be nice for DM only (not that I play a lot of that. ) But overall excellant work. There is a lot of other game tweaks which I have left out and only concentrated on the MP side of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
