How does the online system work with lobby's etc?

I love the gamecube version, but didn't want to buy this yet as I have a lot of games to play with and loads of old games I havent finished and really wanted to play through them, but it sounds so good!!! And online.....!!!

 

Going to be strong, play through what I've got, I'm busy with work.......unless someone double dares me then I'll pick it up first thing in the morning!!!

 

PS MCmad, the game isn't out yet! It comes out tomorrow! :)

Just had a quick blast of this and done a few levels. It certainly seems to have kept the charm from the first game but im really not a fan of the controls. I give the developers credit for mapping the buttons onto the Wiimote and nunchuck but I would have preferred it if the game had the option for a Cube controller ( or does it, havent checked the instructions )

 

Im not really a graphics whore but the game is quite rough looking. Aslong as the gameplay is there though im not really bothered.

Wasn't to sure on purchasing this, but with the delay of No More Heroes I decided on getting it. :)

 

No copies at ASDA or Tesco, sold out at Woolworths and WHSmiths and plenty of stock at Game and Gamestation, so it could be good or bad sales wise. Got my copy from Blockbusters for £29.99.

Played the campaign for some time as I have some connection trouble. Not bad so far, it's fun causing major damage to everything in my way with battleships. My main complaint is the difficulty of changing units, especially to air units, targeting enemy air units isn't easy either. Overall a decent game, looking forward to play more online battles. Is more fun see full armies clashing together rather than attacking small batallions here and there.

i cant find any thing about it on the cover nor in the manual... dies this meen Nintendo might expand the amount of players when they think they can handle it?

 

probebly now its 2 or 4 max but the fact that nintendo doesnt gave us a amount of players in the manual might indicate that nintendo can change it to what ever they like to.

If you mean patching the game to allow for more multi-player options I can't see that happening. Maybe it is something that will happen with BW3 , although if the sales of this are anything to go by then that sequel may never happen , which will be a shame.

 

I am sure that there were rumours of DLC in the form of extra online maps was going to happen (can't find the link) in the US in January if enough people were playing online , which didn't happen and looks unlikely now.

but still i dont know with how many people you can play now... were the hell is it written what the max is on playing this game online..

 

It's 1v1 - tbh you wouldn't want it any other way.

I would have to agree that 1v1 online is the best way for this game to work and isn't really a reason to dismiss it.

 

Only real complaints I have :

 

Would have been nice to have some way of matching players of similar ability , as I am getting a bit fed up getting slaughtered by the one-map merchants ie , those players who have tactics on one particular map sussed and play those constantly because they are virtually impossible to beat.

 

No online rankings (other than the medal system) , although it will be ages till I get my first one as I am bloody useless at this.

 

The lack of voice chat is a real problem , I have attempted only one co-op game as a result and that proved to be a disaster and I am unlikely to bother with that mode again.

 

That being said , I am really enjoying this so have no regrets whatsoever , and I have even been inspired to return to the prequel and improve my grades on that too.

I agree with a fair share of that.

 

No ranking system was a bad move. Rankings are nice incentives to play and also would eliminate the player matching problem - just match people of similar ranks. This works well for online rts. Only reason it's not so great on MSC is the seasons are only one week long so the ranks never have time to settle.

 

I'm also a bit miffed about the actual "mission" setup of the online. Would have been a lot better if you could just select a map and then also your faction you would like to play as.

If you've played Mario Kart DS, the lobby system is comparable. In your freinds list, you'll see whose busy (playing), online (I assume waiting for a game, or doing anything else that playing) or indeed offline.
