[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="159" id="2436433"]I dont think they give a fuck what the REAL fans want. Its all about the flipfloppers, who arent fans just people who enjoy the "new" take on an established franchise. Take BSG for instance, while there were alot of fans that came out of the original show, most of them were newcomers who never heard of BSG before the miniseries dropped. Reason for watching was the emphasis on the soap opera style drama. [/quote] well, thank fuck nobod

It never ceases to amaze me how many people blame a game for their own inadequate understanding of (in this case) networking. Zehdon and Spooky have it absolutely right.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="142" id="2432843"]Note, the almighty soap opera tagged the "novel for tv" format a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. A never ending novel perhaps, but still... [/quote] yeah, maybe if FILM really meant TELEVISION you might have a point. but alas, you're completely incorrect. thanks for playing though!

[quote who="TheRezonator" reply="139" id="2432499"] Babylon 5 was Star Trek with more fighting. dont remember it being funny or all that popular... [/quote] didnt you just criticise someone for not watching properly and then commenting? no scifi fan who had actually watched a decent amount of the show would make this incorrect comparison. star trek? lol. it was certainly funny in parts here or there, and what does its popularity have to do with anything? all that states is i

[quote who="brjoha" reply="21" id="2431065"]By server, I meant the lobby server. It's in the best position to know whether a match is still in progress or has completed, and remember who is in the match and how they were connected (directly or proxied). [/quote] what? there is absolutely no difference between the lobby server and all the other players, other than the ability to change the game's rules before it starts.

[quote who="GnomeChomp" reply="18" id="2430116"]Then surely it wouldn't be that difficult for the server to maintain a record of the game, and continue to check the number of players in it whilst it is still ongoing (every 10 seconds or so). If it detects that a player is missing it waits until that player is back in the lobby and offers them a chance to reconnect. [/quote] as stated already, there is no server. and yes, its pretty damned difficult which is why you can't do

[/quote] TA and supcom are one of the only games ever made (with cossacks i think) that simulate projectiles.
