If it wernt for single player games to begin with, where would the ideas come from for multiplayer games? Indeed Quake had and still does have a good run on their game series, but they went Multiplayer only on Q3. I did not buy that game for that reason. I enjoy both multiplayer and single play games. I too find that after a few hours of shooting everything that moves in the FPS games, it gets boaring. Even with a mod such as requiem se for quake with all its little bells and whistles, I find myself falling asleep at the puter. I played Freespace 1 and 2 and found the flight physics to be, well somewhat blah and non-realistic, had nice graphics, but if you get more enjoyment from a game in the way its made, who cares about textures and graphics. Although I would love to see a GL version of WC 1-4 and the Privateer games. Untill the entire net community gets on high speed connections, it makes no sense to play a multiplayer game against DSL and Cable connections and your tugging along with a 56k that may or may not even hit 50kps. Been there, done that with Quake 2. I should have just stood there and let everyone shoot me! Also if they are gonna charge you 50 bucks for a game, I would want more than just a few maps and it be both single and multi capable. If only EA would allow someone to continue the WC universe, in effect take it over, it would be the best thing to happen since frozen pizza. Maybe everyone here should get together and pool resources and submit to EA to let us continue the WC universe. If only it could happen. If only!!
