SC:CT Multiplayer

Do people still play it? Are the original xbox servers for it down since microsoft discontinued original xbox? Do people play the pc version?

A triple yes. The amount of PC players is low, but the good thing of SvM is that it only takes 4 players total to get a full server :)

Make sure to get the Steam version. The single player, if you choose to play that, works only on modern systems when using the Steam version. Should be cheap too!

i just bought a copy from amazon, im only interested in SVM though, i've played the shit outta the single player on xbox. Will the multiplayer still work on a retail cd, and let me play with steam buyers? Cost me Ã,Â£2.50 :P

I could play it just fine.

Was running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

Ehh? I'm running it on a very good PC myself, retail version. Do you mean operating system? In that case I have XP Service Pack 3.

will the steam version work on vista 64 bit, cause i bought it and installed it and it said it would not work

frvge · April 20, 2010, 11:59:19 PM

According to my info, yes. The Steam version doesn't have the annoying Starforce that doesn't work on 64-bit systems. I can run CT's singleplayer on 64-bit Windows 7.

can anybody else confirm this?

I had the Steam version and played Single and Versus just fine on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

Downloaded another copy (Since I bought from steam that counts as Backup, right?) for shits and gigs and got it to work just fine (Single Player). Not sure a Downloaded version constitutes the same as a hard CD Copy though. Starforce is something I never ran into.

In the end. Both worked on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
