offline computer connecting
« on: March 21, 2011, 07:48:52 AM »
wish is simple:


could we have the ability to connect to someone elses offline game? like say, someone sends an invite to us, we accept, and that lets us join there offline session.


only reason i ask is because it would be fun to play some of the offline missions with friends  :aok

I think HT would lose out some, if they went back to that.  If a lot of people were playing that way, there'd be no reason to have an account.  You could just fly with your buddies offline.

Or make it so you'd have to have an active account for that option.

People found ways to hack code, because none of the gameplay could be controlled by HTC since a player could host a public room on his own computer.  Also, since this was available for a free download of the game, there was no incentive for them to subscribe and HTC was losing out on revenue.

HTC has said they are working on a revised head-to-head environment (player spawned rooms), but hosted on HTC servers and available only to paying customers.

Yes I am.  And even though I wasn't around for it, it is my understanding that the 8-player was totally free, set up and hosted by freeloading people that never even gave HTC one cent of revenue.

And asking for the ability to connect to another player "offline" is the exact same thing.

i remember playing it back in 06. was fun rooms. they had some REALLY nice maps in there. and the requirments in there were a little more lax than in the online arenas.

(examples are the maps, one i loved playing on was a U.S map, that had all the major AP of the world on it. then we had a huge tank town map which was fun, etc).
but it did have its limitations.
