The game as it is now in Rebellion is pretty good though I'd like to nerf the Maw ability on the Vasari Loyalist titan. Of course they cannot just remake the game without some sort of added content or everyone will scream "that's just the same game on a new engine!". So, I think they should consider adding two more races (4 factions). It's going to be hard to balance, but that's what they will probably have to do--what the heck else could they do without messing the game

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="3" id="3480651"] Ive found many Mp players are hostile to pre made maps... Guess they dont want newbies to form new strats to beat them... [/quote] I think today's gamers are just a little lazy and don't want to take the 30-45 seconds needed to download and install a self-extracting map pack. It's kind of sad. I remember when I played Unreal Tournament (UT99) on dial-up and I used to figure out what maps a server was playi

[quote quoting="post"]I'm referring to the fact that apparently 95% of players have never tried MP. It seems really suspicious given the surge in player counts in MP after each steam sale.[/quote] How many people do you think purchase the game during the $8/$10 sales? I don't know, but a couple thousand does not seem like an unrealistic number. The surge in player counts isn't all that great, perhaps a couple hundred people.

HBO shows are entertaining. In contrast, reading this forum is very boring and whatever petty squabbles people have really aren't that interesting or worth paying much attention to.

Sins needs more than just an engine update. It needs an online multiplayer update with some sort of an optional match-making system.

The game's ICO activity can be reinvigorated by STEAM sales. So it's hard to say where the game will be in six months. What would happen if it sold on STEAM for $5 at some point? As the game gets older its price will decrease, allowing for even lower sale prices that could pack the server full of players.

[quote who="Cpt_Siddy" reply="9" id="3471504"]It had, back in 08...[/quote] Five or Six clans is not "active". Try 50 or 100 clans duking it out on a ladder. Heck, for a successful game you'd hope to have a couple hundred active clans at any one time. I miss Clan X, as in, "I'm gonna do to Clan X what happened to Girl X."

Uh...guy...it's been over 6 years since the last post! This thread is way too dead to even attempt to resurrect.

100 players who still play online PvP? That seems pretty ambitious. Do we even have 50 people who play regularly at this point?

[quote who="AgentExeider" reply="14" id="3468399"] @OP HOLD SHIFT, you can send more when you hold shift.[/quote] The OP knows that. However, even that is still insufficient if you have, say, 200 creds/sec plus Pervasive Economy and you want to give an ally 40,000 creds in a jiffy (they can pile up as you're focusing on other things).

I truly don't understand the complaints people have about the AI. Isn't the entire point of playing the AI to have a feckless opponent that's incapable of strategy and tactics? The AI needs to remain AI because if it started to play like a human player, 99.9% of all Sins owners would freak out.

[quote who="Bartowski" reply="13" id="3464096"] You ever played the tribes series, dirty? Better than Unreal Tournament in every single way.[/quote] I looked into Tribes 2 somewhat in its twilight but could never get into that game. I'm not much of a hitscan type of shooter and it was just too hard to kill anyone. I guess I didn't fully understand the movement either. In my opinion an organized UT99 5-on-5 capture-the-flag match where people hav

[quote quoting="post"]Alright, time to make my own clan after so many years here.[/quote] What for? What is having a "clan" going to do for you when there aren't any other clans to play against? This game has never had a real clan scene and we often struggle to launch single 5s games. Here's what a real clan scene should look like. This is what it looked like in the dying days*** of UT99

It's an April Fools day joke.

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="1" id="3454531"] Good list, but keep on dreaming if you think any of this is going to be implemented. They cant even get an in-game clock, lmao.[/quote] LOL. They cannot even change the amount of feed on the feed buttons! I introduced the idea of PUGging to the Sins community way back in 2008. The devs may not even be aware that there is such a thing or a need for a built-in pug system. Maybe they'll invest some effort o

A wild Star has appeared!

The action is all on the Rebellion server now, including the 5 on 5 games.

As a general rule, the AI in this game is retarded compared to what a human opponent can do (which is why I have difficulty understanding why so many people are content to just playing the AI). As a practical matter, here's what happens: When a player on your team drops, you evaluate your situation. Was he a top player, a good player, an average player, a mediocre player, or a noob? Is your team currently winning or losing? What position was he playing? Losin
