Hi,

I'm not on Facebook but my answer is that I don't play online games it's not something that I personally enjoy.

Kind regards

Direct connection, only in games that are not clickfests.  A good example is the Command Ops series by Panther games.  It's pace is amenable to real time direct connection.  I suspect it would work well with GTOS.
Otherwise I like PBEM by exchanging files.  It works well in games like Combat Mission.  Don't know if it would work with GT Tactics games.

Seems obvious.  Unless it's some cruel Slavic trick.

They have wanted to do it for awhile.  It was cash woes and the perceived small market stuff that prevented it.  Looks like something changed.

Direct connect is fine with me also  8) Cheesy

What does Graviteam want to do concerning multi player?
I remember a discussion about it a few years ago that if they did go MP it would be for Quick Battles only.
I got my hopes up there for awhile until they said they didn't think it would generate enough income to pay for itself.

If Graviteam is seriously  considering MP,what changed their mind and how would they like to implement it?

I'd like more details please.

I bet a publisher went....this is a GREAT game.  WHAT no MP?   Tongue

Well it would be hard....although I do not think impossible to pull of an MP campaign.  BUT..... I do not think that many people would play such a thing.  HOWEVER.  An MP scenario....something a bit MORE than simple qb would be quite nice.  But MP and Mius or GTOS.... I think I would be glued into MP.

Oh I don't care how they introduce MP as long as they do it!
I'd love to share the experience of this game with someone other than the AI and myself.

I'm mainly curious as to why the sudden change of heart.
I was convinced that we would never see MP with this game. Shocked

If this does become a reality,I'm pretty certain I won't play anything else Grin
This is already my favorite game and MP would make it my only favorite game.

Hopefully this will happen so I can start kicking some human ass in this game! Tongue Grin Cheesy

What Dane said.  MP brings a whole new aspect to a game.  But I do prefer PBEM. You just get your arse kicked in slow time.  Far less painful

It's just a poll for cognitive purposes  Cheesy
But whatever happens - no turn based heresy, no sence to offer, hint or to ask. Goal of the game is a simulation, not chess. Only real-time solutions as in real world.

The rights to this game go back to us, it will happen at the end of the decade. Prior to this early to say anything concrete on any topic.

What I'd like to see is the ability to have a military structure, all staffed by humans.  The overall commander in a battalion sized battle is a Lt. Col.  His company commanders would be Captains.  All would be human player positions.  The platoons and squads could be handled by the ai.  They would have to communicate with each other in a realistic manner over wire, radio or messenger.  This is much like how the Civil War game, Scourge of War-Gettysburg, can be played.  Of course people fudge things and use Team Speak for comms.

You could have an iron man mode wherein, as commander, you can't see anymore of the battlefield than what you can see from your command vehicle, or perhaps a Storch circling above the area.  You would have your maps updated by an ai staff, from reports received from your subordinates.

Whichever the normal way game do multi on the list gets my vote, direct connection I guess.
