Garbageben Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 For those who thought this was another repetitive post about the demo you're wrong. I'm just wondering what the rest of you think on this thought: Will it be single-player skirmish exclusively or (hopefully) will it also be multiplayer capable? I'm of course hoping that it will be both single and multi-player. Your thoughts are welcome. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png
Hadoken13 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 i don't really care al i want is to explode things
Naja Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Maybe we'll get a very small-scale taste of the galactic interface?
Ghostly_Substance Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Single player could be the same as Multiplayer skirmish. Map i'm guessing would be the one such as the one in the E3 demo with Tatooine on land and in space. I hope its online play so I can beat Indum in there and i'll try my luck against Fosh -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png
Naja Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 As I've said though, I hope that the whole upgrading-and-building-your-units-in-the-midst-of-combat-thing is particular to skirmishes only. I can't reiterate that enough.
Garbageben Posted August 29, 2005 Author Posted August 29, 2005 We could have 8 player free-for-all space skirmishes with forum members. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png
General Ackbar Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 We could have 8 player free-for-all space skirmishes with forum members. haha thatd be awsome. get ready to get owned!!! Its a trap! -Admiral Ackbar
Vader89 Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I dont think anyone would be owning anyone right away, you know how it is when you play a new RTS for the first time, your running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to figure out how evcerything works. The people who would have a one up on us would be Junker and Little.b. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e144/theairsniper/TAS-Userbar.jpghttp://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/Sharpshooter89720.pngYou Don't Know the Power of the Dark Side!Click for an EaW Countdown Timer!

Garbageben Posted August 30, 2005 Author Posted August 30, 2005 Lol I wonder if you can have spectators in game? That'd be fun. Then I'd watch the huge skirmish between Indum, G_S, Fosh, Josh., and whoever else. (or play in it for that matter) http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png
Foshjedi2004 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Loads of Imperial Players against me with the Rebels. What an Idea. 7against1 painful. I'd probably forfeit as I would be so outnumbered. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg
Ghostly_Substance Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Does anybody remember my idea of specator unit from Lec forums ? If Anybody wants to watch a battle they would chose which land and space unit from neutrals they'd chose. They would watch battles as they happen but they would be ghost and have no effect to the Imperial and Rebel players since they're ghost like. They can only talk to other spectators. If they use teamspeak or Xfire it wont do much since the players mind is faster then typing. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png
Little.B Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 In general all major RTS games have a multiplayer spectator mode so I think EaW will have one too http://www.pexsus.com/~littleb/eaw/banner_eaw.jpgFeel the ForceIRC (QuakeNet): #empireatwar

I'd probably forfeit as I would be so outnumbered.No. It'd be 6v2 because I would play rebels too. Not that I would be much help lol. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png
sith4ever99 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I'd be one of the 6 (if theres still openings ) Feel the might of my ISDs!!!
Swiftdraw Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I never worked well in large teams (3-on-3 or more) while playing RTSs... I always get this urge to stab the others in the back and watch the resulting chaos. I'm much better off in 1-on-1 matchs. Even 2-on-2 I tend not to backstab if the other player decides to be helpful and not try to lone wolf his way through the game. Otherwise I leave him/her for dead. So if the skirmishes remain small, I really don't have a problem. I never could figure out why some of these games have a spectator mode. To me, RTSs are like baseball... Fun to play, boring to watch. I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png
Joshinator Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Hmmm, i forgot u were goin rebel fosh, i'd be honored to fight along side u, to crush the imperials. They shall fear the might of the alliance!! From little.b's new info, it'd be fun to play a strictly space skirmish, even if it was in say the hoth system for the demo, still be fun -You seem to have an over developed sence of vengeance.

Cobra848 Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Most likey it will be a single player only demo. Which will have example of all the new features in EaW. Also most likey will be a mission from the movies tp help get more people interested. I believe that it will not be the E3 demo, beause that would be a little old for December. But it might be something like E3. Multiplayer would be better for the beta test(Not saying there will be a public Beta). Also multiplayer demo for an RTS game are tricky, you don't want to give a gamer to much or to little. I would prefer that the Multiplayer be for beta or final game. I must not fearFear is the mind-killerFear is the little death that brings total obliterationI will face my fearI will permit it to pass over me and through meAnd when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its pathWhere the fear has gone there will be nothingOnly I will remain-- The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fearfrom the novel Dune by Frank Herberthttp://www.petroglyphgames.com/images/hierarchy_banner1.jpg
Jmaster3265 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Where did you learn the demo is coming out in december? http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/1135/jmaster3265signew13rd.jpg
Popcorn2008 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 From the german Empire at war site, they released a video stating the demo would be out december. Visit empireatwar.net and go to the trailers section and I believe they have a copy of the video there. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator
Darkmark Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 I know I missed the announcement because I was away, but don't think that makes me any less enthusiastic about joining a online multiplayer with you guys if the demo is capable. I'm surprised people forgot about me so easily .

Wiking_pff Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 I'm certainly hoping for a SP or MP skirmish in the demo. Having a Spartan version of the entire game is usually never good. But I would love an MP demo, to get some practice against you guys before I kick your asses in the whole game.
