I'd mainly stuck to the single player game, as I'd been frustrated with the multiplayer the few timed I've played it, but the last few days I've been playing on servers that disallow rockets, and the gameplay is 100x better (I even found one that was rifles/smgs only, it was super fun!) Hopefully the netcode will continue to be revamped (ala half life) until it is really solid, because the atmosphere, graphics and sounds are great.
If anyone from around here plays, my gamespy ID is Kratzer - we should hook up and rifle some 12 year olds. :)

ofp

All Seeing Eye (http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/)

But does it have as many players as gamespy? Probably not. It is hard enough to find a good server from the thousands at gamespy.

wow wish i could - every time i sign on it is a rocket fest and it seems like there is always at least one guy using the cheats available on the web.
i am mrfish there too - i like the sniper rooms but gettin down in the ffa is fun too.
-
I'm hoping that soon there will be more dedicated servers running realism mods and no-rockets/snipers mods. It makes a world of difference...

The weapons limitations are cool - BUT - the game is laggy as hell... has nothing to do with connect speeds - its just the code - needs to be reworked... and drasticly so. For those of you like me that cant stand a laggy first person shooter try http://www.dayofdefeatmod.com - great WWII Half-Life mod - no lag and great gameplay - plus Beta 2.0 is coming soon!!! =)

DoD is fine if you like a game where everyone runs around at 30mph.
-
Yeah... as I mentioned, the netcode needs some work... but so did Half-Life when it first came out.... and the 30mph DoD running is crap.
I've gotten on some smaller, good servers, where lag hasn't been an issue.
-
BTW - looks like DoD 2.0 will be out tomorrow. The MGs should be a fun addition, as well as the new animations.
-
I beta test DOD2.0, it's a complete new game, and have nothing to do with DOD1.3b anymore.
No more bunny hopping, Instaprone kills, 30mph running heh
With the new Recoil, finaly it takes skill to hit anything, no more point & klick kills. The new MG's mounted, Ufff yes they are deadly ! :D
-
You are saying that characters run at a realistic speed in 2.0? That would rock.
Now if they could somehow take what is one of the best multiplayer games around and magically transfer it to a graphics engine that isn't 4 years old, I'd be really happy. :)
-
hi Kratzer,
yes the engine is old, but you will see what the mappers have
done for v2.0, simply outstanding Maps ! One Map is made
by Valve for the DOD guys :)
Yes you walk now with real speed around, but you have a new
sprint key, you can sprint for a short time until your stamina
drops, then you have to wait a sec. Its usefull for running
for cover to cover.

96 severs for medal of honor right now I have it filtered for ping times under 300 and for it not to show games that are full.
theres a crap load of team match as well 40 or so...
always seems like plenty of servers for whatever game I want to play....
alot of the server listed on gamespy are also linked at all seeing eye...just with a better interface.
You can set it so it shuts down when your ingame to save resources
-
Sounds cool, GhostFT!
But Wotan, there are 160 Teamplay servers on gamespy right now... :)
I'll give that program a try though... I stay away from any server that is greater than 150ms ping to me... maybe I'll find some good ones through it.
-
all seein eye lets you set up filters for ping game type stc...
ofp and ghost recon I play there exclusively.
like I said they cross stuff from different portals so alot of its the same just different interface.
I keep gamespy on my machine but rarely ever use it.
