There was news today about Crysis' multiplayer. They announced a mode called "Power Struggle" that sounds very RTS in some ways, as you basically have to level up your weapons through kills and capture factories. Even then you have to provide it with resources to make them with. The kicker is that to fully win a map and build up your team completely, it can take up to 10 hours. In game, this is weeks, as a full day/night cycle is 2 hours.

This seems like it could be a great LAN game, and would really push DX10 into adoption if done wel. What do you think?

This sounds like it will definitely make a nice addition to our local LAN parties. Next year can't come soon enough...

True, true. But WSGF does suck in some areas... :shock: ...if it wasn't for WSGF, i'd have money in my bank account. :lol: stupid 2405 & gx2... :wink:

Well, you can hardly blame the forum for your twitchy mouse finger :P.

again true. But i can blame people. In which case i blame paddy, steef, paradigm and all the other guys on this forum with high-end cpu's and graphics cards... if i had read their posts, i wouln't have felt compelled to upgrade my own machine. :lol:

I still have yet to cave and upgrade my system from my AGP 9800 Pro monstrosity, but it is definitely getting harder to wait until boxing week...

i'm going to have to retire post-wh0ring... i just can't keep up with you Microtia. Remember me when you're looking down at me from 3,000 posts. :)

What is this, Slashdot?

Microtia · Post by **Microtia** » 23 Aug 2006, 02:30

Slashdot? That site still exists? Ha! :lol:. Seriously though, it's just nice to have some semi-active conversations on the forum for once, generally when I'm on its pretty dead :cry:.

I have one suggestion then, install Mirc and join us at Irc. :D
PS, Bongo, Frank, Ibrin and some other people are almost always online there.

I don't have my high end X1900 anymore, i sold it. :D

But i will get another one in my Mac Pro, worth 3k :wink:
Go spend some money boy. :lol:

I'm with Microtia on this one... it was nice knowing the forum was alive. In two hours this thread grew what would normally take 2 days... even if it was about nothing.

CtrlSteef: Now he tells me! :lol: You're still not off the hook. :wink: heheheh...

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 23 Aug 2006, 10:48

I was, i am not anymore, i will be again soon. :P :lol:

Microtia · Post by **Microtia** » 23 Aug 2006, 11:07

Sadly, I once promised myself I'd never join anymore IRC chat rooms... Bad memories *shiver*, but maybe I'll change my mind for WSGF :wink:.
