If your post was anyway serious id say wait a while (month or two) to see if the game(s) survive their initial hype.

WWM: aparently there are more important things than being a mod. i just havnt found them yet though....

i say make a RTCW board, but only after deleting the tribes + unreal boards...

this is the only active thread in tribes:
Games > Tribes > Tribes -vs- ISS Deluxe -vs- NBA Jam '96

there is so little traffic on them i think that they could be dealth with on the Games board.

Games grow old and die, and so should the message boards.
I'm all for new boards for new games, but delete the old boards, and let the general games board deal with any threads related to these games.

Oi! Dee Bee See! NOOOO!

Ok, so tribes might not be the busiest forum, but there is a more recent thread than that one and people still play both tribes games.

DeadBankClerk

people played tribes 2 for 10 days, then got bored.

point taken dustaz...
(but i hope i made my point too)

Wolfenstein WILL have staying power, unlike Tribes 2 etc.
The reason for this: once people have completed the single player game they will have the multiplayer version, which I imagine will have a similar online lifespan to Half-Life or Quake3.

Therefore, I too am backing a Wolfenstein board ASAP.

Ehhh... no, theres no way at the moment that you could tell whether or not RTCW will survive. It depends on how durable it is, how modable it is and how many people will give up other the other games in order to play it. Give it some time, if a board becomes necessary, create a board, otherwise - leave it be.

I'd say things are looking good for this one. I got the game myself and i'm just waiting on a pc now to be able to play it.

I've got a feeling its gonna be big...be prepared...be very prepared

so what you are saying is that tribes 2 did not last because its rich single player game was let down by a poor multiplayer element?

now, now DBC temper temper.

twould only be nice to see this dethrown CS if they come out with an original and kickass mod, but apparently the single player is a let down, I was reading some boards somewhere, where someone said they completed the game in 7 hours, and he paid $60 bucks for it. A bit ****.

Agreed, but all the reviews i've read about the game say that multiplayer-wise it will be huge. Not too sure myself, i cant get used to those blasted non-client side weapons from the first beta :mad: Damn you half-life, damn you :rolleyes:

For the moment surely the Q3 board will do won't it?

As RtCW is based on the Q3 engine it will be as modable as that game.

Also, as Baz said the single player game is a bit of a let-down, although I thought it very good I was suprised at how quickly I completed the game (without cheats).

On the multiplayer side of things, all signs point to this being very popular (look at the interest in the test) and it is already taking off fairly well, and when the mods kick in it should take off even more.

Hopefully it won't be too long before we have an Irish server to play on (I am presently playing on UK and European servers and pings are not great).

No, that is not what I meant.

Tribes2 was never as popular as Half-Life (or as popular as RtCW will be).
This is because people bought Half-Life in huge numbers primarily to play the single player game, the multiplayer aspect came later and held people there.
But (and this is the key), loads of people had Half-Life already and decided that they would like to squeeze more life out of it.
I for one had Half-Life sitting on a shelf for over a year before I started playing it online.

Whilst people may have bought Tribes2 for the single player game (which got many a good review), it never took off in the same numbers that Half-Life did or that (in my opinion) RtCW will.

The hype.

Eamo, you are such an evil trolling bastárd

DeadBankClerk

i feel so dirty

ooh yummy wolfenstein. good idea!

It's a brill game, and the multiplayer seems really good too (haven't gotten a chance to play it much though).
It reminds me of Half Life in a strange way. Really good single player, but also good multiplayer. Mmmm. Put it to a vote.
