Amount of players?

[Vega]

I know we're cloning CT but I can't help but feel a lot of the excitement from DA is the 3v3 aspect.  I always liked the idea of 3v3 and welcome it.  I love 2v2 as well.  So, with Project Stealth, is 3v3 going to be included in some maps or not at all?  I know it could be done with certain maps but most likely they will have to be custom made.

Just curious how it's going to work.

It is going to be a test of our programmers as it is.  In fact,  the biggest risk this project has will be the commitment of the programmers.

Man I wish I could program...

I have a compiler and a little C++ knowledge, but none with OpenGL/Direct3D. If you could feed me the things needed (coordinates, etc) I could compile it all.

Feel free to make a new thread if you'd like to talk about programming the game or anything aside from the "amount of players", guys.

I like 3v3 but image 4v4 hmm never seen it happen lol wonder what would happen.

[MacBryce]

You'd have to make a very small map where mercs can quickly assist each others or you'll see 4 spies on 1 merc situations very often.

That's probably why the maps are so poorly constructed in DA. They wanted to avoid the 3 spies on 1 merc situations so they made maps where each merc can easily cover 4 objectives.

Ah  I see now what about 4 mecs vs 2 spys :/ wonder how that would turn out.

That might be a good idea but u need
to change the game play of scct then. Cause when
u have 4 pc's and 4 mercs the spies wont have
a change :-\.
And if u give them nades and mines
and al the other gadgets, the spies wont have any
change.
So its a nice idea but u need to make some changes then
and that means more work to do.. not only building it but
also chancing the concept

or thats the way i think about it

I don't think 4v4 will ever be possible and still be called Splinter Cell.  3v3 was pushing it but it seems to work for DA and I generally like the idea of 3v3 (though 2v2 is still amazing).

Regarding to DA i don't like 3 vs. 3 that much because for an example in teamspeak it is really annoying if you are playing with 2 guys who are talking in the same time ;D well anyway i liked 2 vs. 2 in scct and i hope it will be like this in PS also ... ?!

i think 3vs3 is possible with many changes but i don't think it's as much fun as 2on2 because it's already really hard to have good teamplay with only one teammate.

Teamspeak, what kind of wacko uses that , when the main design of the game was to USE THE IN GAME CHAT SOO YOU DONT RUIN THE PREMISE OF SPY TRAPS / SPY BULLETS hacking  ones communications

plus  on a further note i know UT3 has highquality voice chat.. you shouldn't have to use third party programs.. its cheating in a way.. im sure West will back me up on this.

I didn't even read the full post before I clicked quote to begin backing you on this. MANY players don't agree with it but just dismiss it because it shows what YOU need to win. I love how people tell me they turn off the mics because, "it makes the server lag less." So in turn you run a third party voice program that lags the server.....more.....BRILLIANT!!!!
