      IW Scriptacus responds to some questions



      The following applies to Playlists:

      - the map: Not directly, though you can vote to skip maps that you dislike. Additionaly, we can update the playlists based on player feedback. (e.g. if people dislike playing Highrise in SD, we can remove it)
      - the min players: Each playlist has a minimum and a maximum number of players.
      - friendly fire: Also a per playlist setting; hardcore playlists tend to have FF enabled.
      - weapons: All weapons are available at all times in all playlists.

      To clarify; a Playlist is a set of gametypes, maps and rules (player count, health, friendly fire, gametype, bomb timers, score limit, etc...). So we make the "Search and Destroy" playlist. It's regular SD, 12-16 players, no respawns, etc... Then we can also make a "Hardcore Search and Destroy" playlist. It's SD, 12-16 players, no hud, low health, etc... But we can also make a "Hardcore Team Tactical" playlist. It's got all the standard hardcore rules, but it's 6-12 players, has smaller maps, and the gametypes might be Hardore SD, Elimination TDM, etc...
      All of this is stuff we can update very easily.

      Private Match:
      Pick any map, gametype, and rules that you want. Play with as many or as few people as you want (up to the max limit). People can join in progress as they please. You can't disable specific weapons, but it's your server and if someone isn't playing by your rules you can boot them.

      There's also the possibility this will be expanded upon in future patches. (I can't promise this of course, cause that's not my call to make)

      And on that note, try to keep in mind that we're not just throwing this whole system out there and then washing our hands of it. We will be watching, playing and evaluating what works and what doesn't. The nice thing about PC vs the other platforms is that it's a lot easier to patch after we ship





      But then in a different topic referring to the topic in question

        Do you know what kind of machine you need to run a 50 man listen server? A none-existence one.

              "We're just prioritizing the player experience above the modders and the tuners,"
              Uh huh, sure. Not just prioritising the "forced annual rehashes putting money in Activision's pocket" experience then.

                      Nope not even close. Personally played 4 person Doom over NetBIOS creashing my employers poorly designed WAN (seagate if you must know) in 1993 and in 1991 this over IPX

                      Spectre was a computer game for the Apple Macintosh, released in 1991 by Velocity Development and Peninsula Gameworks. It was a 3D tank battle reminiscent of the arcade game Battlezone, and was one of the first multiplayer network games. Later games in the series were released for the PC and Nintendo Super NES, with Spectre VR being named to a number of lists of best video games.

                      And for that matter network snipes over IPX as well in 89

                        We used to play descent on the LAN at ERAU in the early 90's.

                            The key word is "just as long" pc online gaming didn't really took off untill what 94 or so. Xband came around in 95 and the sega netlink around 97

                              Six years difference does not equate to equal

                                I think caddys is comparing Online PC gaming to General Console gaming. PC had been working on netz way before consoles were able to, way before.
