Isn't it sad how some game's MP are so horribly neglected?
2004-07-09, 7:56 AM #1
I sure am because it is sad how games like the NOLF series and Elite Force 2 never have any games that exceed three active servers. To think of all that hard work the game devs put into the MP modes and no one plays them at all. If these games were on fire when they were first released and simply just died down, then that isn't too bad but when games (like I mentioned above) NEVER took off with a bang, then that is just sad. Anyone know of any other games that suffer from this fate?

Actually, NOLF2 wasn't really focused on MP. When you first install the game, it only has Co-Op. Only later in a patch did they add 1 or 2 MP modes.

Otherwise, I would agree with you.

Let's hope City of Heroes doesn't have a neglected MP, it being an MMOG and all. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]

Uhh... Co-Op is still considered MP. But that is far from the point. The point is the AMOUNT of PLAYERS actively playing the game ONLINE.

no one plays JO/JA

There are servers yeah, but they are really just "filled" with a few guys hanging out/wasting time or "hacking".

i haven't had much trouble finding people to play against in NOLF it's just that if one server sucks it's hard to find another server to play on because usually it's a handful of empty servers and one or two servers that have people playing

there are some games that should have more people playing but don't

and then there is the occasional game that should have people playing and people want to play but the game lags horribly and the developer has practically abandoned it and isn't gonna bother with patches
