How big??

[He@t!]

How big do u guys think the maps will be in Multiplay??Enough to support 30+peeps?? Will we be able to use vehicles in multiplay?

 

[MrWhite]

More than 30 and yes

bf1942 big and 32 player i think. Thats a lot considering they are putting in physics and ai.You can probably do map transitions to so i don't know if map size really matters.

 

[burnzie]

gabe said they can be bf1942 size

yes there are vehicals in multiplay

(the only two things we know about multi)

AI in multiplayer? Where'd you hear that ?

Furthermore where'd you hear the maps would be the size of bf1942 maps?

WoHoOOOo!!!:bounce: Thats gonna so OwN!!

 

[burnzie]

gabe said it some where

try the info from valve thread, i think its there

 

[D33]

The latter was in an interview *I think*

I think they said that the multiplayer maps COULD be bf1942 size if the mapper wished, and that can be backed up by visiting VERC and reading the HL2 mapping FAQ.

What kind of AI could you put into MP maps? I can understand co-op maps... but DM too?

Correct, so look forward to downloading some player made maps

 

[Spamz0r]

64 times the size of the max from worldcraft ....

and wow

thats HUGE

id be more worried about the poor sucker who spends all that time mapping something that big

 

[droper]

bf1942 in one of the emails. In terms of ai i don't know y they wouldn't have it in multiplayer considering they can do it and I'm sure its mentioned somewhere since others have talked about it as well.

Indeed, it'd probably take them...Oooohh, around five years.

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

you can have up to 52 players on BF1942

 

[droper]

honestly ai could really be helpfull in making very large multiplayer games just with less players and more cpu. One thing i would like to see is every player have a team of cpus. 32 * 5(cpus each) 160 players of course thats a hell of a lot and i doubt it, but that would sure be fun.

Well I tell ya what....bf1942(desert combat mostly) was what has kept me goin' in this drought period for new games, so if this can alter my world like bf did.....I'm willin' to wait 'till its "tits". Even if there is a delay.

take a look at http://collective.valve-erc.com/ind...06159031874671600&question=106159074774468800 to see a comparison between HL1 map size and HL2.
http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?faq=source_mod_faq in general is a very good place for all those kinds of Qs

bots with AI, why would hl2 have multiplayer bots that are as dumb as quake3 bots AI should be the same as SP.

and i dont see why the maps cant be the same size as bf1942 if not bigger :\
