Why is there no multiplayer on rally??

[Hirsh]

Let me start by saying this game is great, i bought it thinking i could join online rallys and compete at least with a ghost car of other drivers. Something that you could do since the early days of colin mcrae, but it seems this challenge is too much for codies now.
Im sure they will try and sell it as a main feature on Dirt Rally 2..... im done with this company, they manage to mess up every sport i love.

Leagues are online content

Man, dont even try and defend them, if you wanna play a few stages with a friend its impossible.
Not everyone that races wants to join a league..... Dirt 3, Dirt 2 and Dirt had better online than this even with GFWL.

There's a reason the game is the way it is, I'd explain it to you, but you've already decided you know everything, so I won't bother.

hah online is when you play the game in same time without information of other drivers. In leagues mostly the last can win quite easily.

Rally believe it or not, has more than one car on a stage....... that would be multiplayer.... and a real representation of the sport..... cant believe some fools still defend codemasters after the shambles that was f1 2015...

it has virtual MP...you...against the WORLD...thank god it doesn't have online multi-player....total wreckfest...just look at a game like Project Cars for instance.....the public servers on that MP are a total joke...you join a race and after 1 lap 90 per cent of the field have disconnected or too busy wrecking on purpose....this has Daily's...2 of them in fact...2 Weekly's and a Monthly...you basically wreck yourself trying to post the best time that you can...lol
thank god this doe not have multi-wrecker on it

Apparently we did'nt want it. What we wanted was pure leaderboards.... lool.

[Hirsh]

Best reply yet lol, we didn't want it...... Yeah, also we didnt want career mode and co op in f1 anymore either.... less content, thats the way to go...... they can always sell basic features to us later as Dlc or even a new game completely.....

Why do you care? You're done with this company anyway.

we have actually suggested such a game-mode during early-access. Seems like they couldn't get the resources together to do it.
Here's hope for Dirt Rally 2.

just copy netcode from dirt 3 or something. Cant take that long.... latency dosnt matter here anway.
I didnt tryed but isnt there rallycross multiplayer? Just use the same system on a normal map, free drive without timing. All they have to put up a second car spawn behind the first for example, or on stage in front of it.

I'm fine with my job saldy. I'm not a programmer but i learned setting up online p2p stuff for years - and I just dont see a big problem. When Rallycross multiplayer works (just heard of it, is it rly in the game? Didnt tested), someone has to put in a second spawn location for every non rallycross stage, that shoud work quiet well.

(in case rallycross MP works allready)
- Set up spawn location for 2nd player (behind or in front is fine, shoud be freedrive anyway, real racing woudnt be possible due to most map starts wont allow a side by side start right?)
- Disable timers
- Make it p2p, wont cost money, and nobody will care since u wont try to bump each othehr anway.
- Pikes Peak woud be an awesome map to try it out since there u even get let guys start parrallel and take time for both.

Community did these kind of stuff for singleplayer games ages ago (GTA, Thief, lot of RPG games...) and still do it. Thats a pretty common mod. Sadly I am personally not able to do this kind of stuff.
