Post by: beddog on September 17, 2008, 03:56:31 PM
I actually enjoyed using that with my son from time to time...  Why take that away?

We're looking at ways to implement that style of play into something that we can host on our servers.

Since 8Player has been disabled, I'd like to see not only T34 & Tiger, but the other tanks sitting on base too in offline mode.
I used the 8player mode for practice & testing, particularly anti-tank gunnery. Would have loved to test the new Il2 37mm option vs the various GVs :(

Thank heavens for that.  :aok

In the meantime I'll keep 2124 for when the kids come over to plink each other in tanks, and for testing terrains without the target drone noise.

wait, so i cant take a copy of the game and a couple medium end laptops to the school computer club and down all the upper classmen who think that as a newb, the pony or lightning is the best newb plane? If so then: FRAK! Because of you guys, I'm gonna have to deal with all the juniors and arrogant sophomores who can't remember when they were freshmen!

Something like 8 squad memebers can go into a room and practice against AI missions would be cool :rock

crap no kidding...what a bad synch...I go to australia once in my life....and they remove LAN play JUST before I get there.

Cutting the fun for hundreds of paying customer just because two basement kids play via VPN ? Cmon there's a limit. I would have done the VPN too since they removed H2H....whats the next feature to go down ? TA ? Ho yeah this game is so known around he world that people are cracking it by hundreds, we need to protect our intellectual property !! How about we get new game modes before removing the old ones ? heh ? CT anyone ? lmao CT the bets are on, who bets it will come before 2010 ? I don't the feature will be removed for security reason.

I hope the new feature comes FAST...I'm going to Australia in TWO WEEKS.

the world is bad enough now its finding its way into my games? it seems everywhere I look a few bad seeds take advantage of something and then all the honest people have to suffer. I was really looking to download this to my laptop and dogfight my friend at work who is getting his pilots license...very disappointing.

HTC, please make this a priority.  He may have to miss his video game for a while.  It doesn't matter if your livelihood is at risk.  He needs his fix.

Unbelievable.
