i wish, i wish i wish i wish, that subscribers could host an H2H room larger than 8 people.

sometimes it's really nice to get away from the MA, and set up an H2H room, and i think, seeing as we do pay, it would be nice for subbers to have maybe up to 32 players in a room. maybe make it so that only subscribers can enter a room larger than 8, but please, it shouldnt be too hard to do, and it would be really fun:aok

Good idea, Poo, I second that motion....

Another thing, it would be nice to have the faculty of setting up passwords for H2H rooms.

raider doesnt like it because he's a freeloader and wouldnt be allowed to use it

seriously, a subcribers only max player limit of 32 would be really great:aok

dunno how it would be implimented for us though. maybe make it so only subscribers can see the rooms over 8, or make it so they can see it, but aren't allowed to enter, just like right now you cant enter the online arenas without subbing.

i just think it would be really cool to do, setup our own room, larger than just 8 people. it would be a valuable tool for squads, training, for filming stuff, just for everything, and i think (and hope) that it wont take to much time to program, as it's using the same mechanism as the online arenas are currently using

please HT?

would be so cool!!!!

Suppose HTC did allow 16 player rooms for subscribers.
Or even 32 for a nominal extra charge (just a thought)

How does that help HTC?

He either has to allow everyone full access to those rooms.
Which could have a negitive impact on new subscriptions.

Or he has to limit them to paying members only.
In which case he has a whole new can of worms to
deal with.

Either way it doesn't make sense from HIS point of view to bother.

You want more than 8 people in a room, go online.

Pooface · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2006, 09:06:31 AM »

but online, you cant set up the room yourself

it would be just the same as H2H, all it would take is a little coad editing, to allow a max of 32 instead of 8, for paying members only

it shouldnt affect anything, it would be as though no change had occured, because the freeloaders can still only use the 8 player rooms, infact if you dangle even more infront of them, such as subber's only 32 player rooms, they have even more reason to subscribe

HT shouldnt need to do anything admin wise, it'll all be player controlled

Poof, its more then " a little coading" - HTC will have to provide the service, has the legal issues, has to provide the server/bandwith. And Ghosth is right: Give all H2H players access to the rooms? Or only paying customers (which then would include a new login screen with confirmation of account, CC info and PW before entering etc etc. And what doe HTC GAIN from that? Apart from you being happy for 2 or 3 weeks?

Pooface · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2006, 09:37:23 AM »

humphh...

well, i guess he doesnt gain anything, but it would be fun:(

since when did this game become about abndwidth though? i thought H2H was mainly run through other people, not HTC, and when you log into the MA, you never need to give CC info. same with H2H, you need to log in, it would be just the same. all you do is take the code from the online servers that doesnt let any freeloaders in, and you apply that to rooms over 8 people.

i dont really understand why it would be so hard, and i really dont understand why people would be opposed to it. it doesnt do anything accept increase the fun for those that use it.

maybe HT himself could explain it:(

I think H2H doesn't actually connect to HTC for account status or use the HTC servers, not sure but...

The proposal is a sticky one though, how do you validate the account, and would the 32player H2H only be available to players with accounts, or just the player hosting needs to have an account?

I don't see it making sense for HTC to do it.

Why not just use the dueling arena?

Pooface · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2006, 12:52:49 PM »

the DA doesnt work so well now that KS is off, and we cant change things in the DA. H2H does not connect to HTC, it goes through other players PC's

only subscribers would be allowed to enter and host rooms larger than 8. it wouldnt be hard to do, it would only really envolve copying the code that is already in place for the online arenas, making rooms larger than 8 people unuseable for freeloaders.

not hard to code, it's really just editing.
