Before Purchase Question

Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:04 am by aphotic

Sorry to bug you guys, but I had a question about Freelancer before I actually buy it. I am not really interested in playing online with people. See me and my friend played the co-op starlancer and loved it. And I was just wondering if Freelancer multiplayer you could play the main story co-op over a lan, and if it is anything like the Starlancer setup where you play the missions in the same wing and such.

Thanks,
John

You can do missions with people, but you can't do the storyline. Just set up a server, password it, and then only you and your friend will play on it.

The biggest draw of Freelancer is multiplayer, buy the game, it's worth it.
If player vs player doesn't interest you, there are a number of servers that are setup for co-operative play, or you could start one of your own.
You really should give Multi player a chance, once you have, I'm sure it will make you a believer.

If you are not interested in playing online with people, then you will find the game collecting dust within a couple of weeks. The Single Player doesn't take very long to finish. The SP is pretty fun, but it doesn't last long. The only thing that keeps the game going as long as it has is the Multi-Player.

True, the single player storyline don't take long, but exploration of the entire universe can take quite a while.
Finding all holes, bases, wrecks, etc. etc. takes time. Then you can re-run the SP again with other ships.
When you get bored, there's tons of mods. I will play FL until FL2 comes out.

Yea, the SP is fun, but short and pretty easy. The MP is where its at. FL became a whole different game when I joined my first server, and then again when I joined my first clan.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated. However me and my friend were looking for co-operative games to play together. Starlancer seems to be the only one in existance.

Well, like RILMS says, you can do missions as a team (grouped).
Just DL the Demo and try it (no MP in demo tho).
