Exe22 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 (hehe, jk) of course they should add multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I like the single-player side of the game. I think they should focus on that. But from a lasting appeal point of view I guess it should be included, since multiplayer keep games alive. So no from a personal point of view, and yes from a business point of view.

sigget Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 The multiplayer part should be separate from the game and be a one-mission only kinda thing. You select the map, equip your soldiers and the you go in. One part gets to go in first and position his troops, and then the other player storms in. Like at ruska51.

XCOManiac Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I don't think it would be possible to have a multiplayer module for UFO:AM... this genre of game is solely for single player side... it's not even 100% in single player side then add a multiplayer side? it would only make matters worse... how can you possibly enjoy a multiplayer game in AM? it would be possible if there would be a major major mission, and I'm talking about a long and large map, maybe having 5 or more levels, just like in UFO: Terror from the Deep by XCOM where you have to go through 3 levels of armed to the teeth aliens and kill the mastermind... the overall strategy has to be changed if they decide to add a multiplayer module in order to make it user friendly and increase user satisfaction...

sigget Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I think a two-player, turn-based version would rock. A friend of mine tried ufo aftermath and said: "uh, its chess with machine guns", and i replied "yeah, isnt it great?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegfried Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Chess with machine guns ... Kool! yea multiplayer would rock even if it is just a hot seat game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Agreed sigget. Like UFO 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Mark Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Multiplayer would require massive story change. It would be possible if you weren't limited to a single team. Or if there would be two or more factions on earth, perhaps fighting together for the same goal. Or against each other, for not all humans are patriotic (sad, but true). Playing as rets would also be nice. But then it raises the question of how to manage it all. However I wouldn't mind having human opponent. Aliens fall for ambushes way too easily.

shagpuss Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Would a singleplayer option detract from the improvement/enhancement of the single player side of the game? I agree with slaughter...heart says no, my head says yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius OMonkeyboy Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 OMG! How has no-one mentioned this! Why not 2 teams both rushing for the same objective, with masses of Aliens etc. in between! Also, the whole series-of-misions for MP would be great, especially if the teams were co-op.
