I know it will be some time before the game is released but I just wanna make a plea for the sake of multiplayer.
There are 3 very necessary if not mandatory things for multiplayer to be successful:
1.) Anti-Cheat, preferrably Punk Buster. I know PB isn't perfect but they have been doing anti-cheat stuff for alot longer than anybody else out there and have a very well set up structure for support by Evenbalance and the community (i.e. Punksbusted and PBBans to name a couple).
2.) Stand Alone Dedicated Server Files, these are necessary becomes the best way to host a mulitplayer game is to rent a server from hosting companies in major hubs (ie Dallas, Chicago). Most hosting companies use rack systems that either don't have room for a video card or charge out the ass in order for them to put one in. With SADS it basically removes the need for a up to date video card in order to host a dedicated server. Dedicated server= Less lag, lower pings and alot more fun.
3.) Some sort of map editor and/or SDK. Though you have already stated that we will be getting pretty much what the you guys have been using to make the game.
1 down and 2 more to go.
Considering it's still 2006 I doubt these are a top priority right now but please consider them.
Thank you and have a nice day.
