I've just about finished the sp but it did take a lot of determination to get through the incredibly repetitive middle bit and the patrolling cars and check points really p'd me off until i got my grenade launching truck back :D MP I'll wait on a patch or a stable server running Ice and Hervig's maps :salute:

i like fc.... dman good... all u gyas just want it to be like fc1.... why the [f*ck] do we want to play that boring [sh*t] again.... MP is fast paced and action packed. GFE are gettin a server up soon, we have been just loading up our own servers with about 12 ppl in ts and gaming, fookin good fun. cant wait till a few clans get servers up and sort out server settings... i.e grenade launchers and sniper limits. shoul dbe good!

SP gets kinda boring in places, but when [sh*t] kicks off it really hits the fan and is damn good, got it on hard to add to the excitment :p

The problem bowzer, is that there are no dedicated server files or SADS support at present (servers that dont require a graphics/sound card to run the game). So to run a server you have to upload the entire game to the server, install it, and run it like its your home PC - CPU usage is reported to be around 40% for a single game, so resource wise its not going to impress GSP (Game server providers) and therefore make it less appealing as a game they want to offer to clans to rent.

Not to mention the numerous connection issues players have, if the UBI master server goes down ALL servers go down! They need some redundancy in their Master Server setup - having several servers on different networks running as backups - otherwise when the Master server goes no one gets to play the MP (apart from a LAN via hamachi).

The 16 player limit is poor on medium/large maps, 6 vehicles also cripples these maps, not to mention numerous missing 'assumed' features, such as server setting flexibility, server admins options, etc....stuff that was in FC1 yet removed for this consolised piece if [sh*t].

Im happy with the SP (although it does get a tab repetitive driving from 1 side of the map to the other) and the Map Editor - the MP is lacking big time though, and anyone who thinks MP is flawless has overdosed on sucking [c*ck]. :o :p :D
The best defence against software piracy is producing a game worth buying.

i didnt say it was flawless, i said it was enjoyable. and all the [sh*t] u mentioned above i don thave a fkin clue about.. lol :p so ner ner ner!

i think sp will get better as the game goes on ice, how far are u into it? ive just killed the king and given his ring to his son.. :) got a barrat on that mish aswell, nice gun, can tear thru 3 enemies i found out :p
