Best news since Dan Archer died (sorry Brit joke).

Thanks guys. We're working hard to get this game out. We have a great team. Can't wait to get this baby out there.

Excellent news norb on the MP. I am sure your guys 1st release is going to be a huge hit, I know I am waiting for a good balanced game to come out. Love playing Company of Heroes, but they can never get that game balanced

One other thing I just thought of, I assume your guy's MP is going to be some kind of P2P setup.(I assume you aren't going to have your own serversB)) Some of my friends have a terrible time losing connection or getting out of sync while we play CoH. Please, Please, Please, let the MP work flawlessly before you release because there is nothing more frustrating than getting into an intense game and it is back and forth and then your game freezes.

I am working very hard to make sure that is the case. I do not want to release buggy software. We will promise to test it very well before it's released.

This must be some of the best news i've read in quite a while on MP wargming! TC:2M rocked in SP, MP will be awesome.

Will it be 1vs1, or will there be teamplay as well?

cheers

Full teamplay!!!

Very nice.

Are you rewriting the entire War3D engine, or just the MP part? Will any previous mod content be portable to this new game, or will it use an entirely different approach?

cheers
