Multiplayer WIP

[termit]

There are people who question the fact that we are working on multiplayer. To prove that we are working on it we made a short video.

Thanks Termit, stay awesome. The work you guys are doing is really appreciated, despite the vocal minority.

[Lunick]

Good job :)

[BloodShed]

Damn it's looking good

Nice :) Some memories when I saw the Out of Sync thingy :D

[CJ]

Shouldn't this be sticky'd?

[CJ]

Also is lobby browser going to be like a server browser like CS:S server lists or more like mw2 I really would like to see a big list of servers. But I don't know if thats possible unless the game is changed to allow people to join a ongoing game.

And that a client/server architecture is adopted (and coded) :)

[Lunick]

Pretty sure it will be Peer to Peer if the out of sync error in the video is any help.

[>M@tEo$<]

Ah yeah, I was seing it more like c/s, but the host would himself appear as a server in that case ^^'

I also think some of the people in this thread are expecting a little more than what is capable of the Build engine regarding mulyiplayer.

Since I saw MOBs in the video, is it safe to assume you guys are working in the Co-op as well. First video game my buddy and I ever played and after all these years, still among the coolest co-op player experiences ever.
