Multi?

I have pre order FL from EB and my question is a friend of mine told that multi-player was not going to be a option when the full version ship's in March! Is this true because from my understanding multi player is part of the program??

Thanks! Int#3

Multiplayer is a pretty important part of Freelancer so you may call your friend a liar.

Welcome to the forums by the way.

Heh, I had a friend like that, I knew almost everything in the gaming industry, and just to prove me wrong, he would always give me some BS stuff he misread in a magazine. Once a few years ago, even though I played SimCity 3000, he claimed that the game was entirely in 3D and you can rotate and zoom the view, and he had magazine pictures to prove it. I told him that it wasn't true and he told me it was probably a hidden feature...lol.

A friend tried to tell me Mechwarrior Mercenaries was an RTS game

But Multiplayer is the one thing im looking forward to

Its one of those multiplayers where you find a good bunch of guys and play in that server almost exclusively lol

Speaking of multiplayer servers, does anybody know the bandwidth requirements for a dedicated server? NWN was somewhere in the area of 3-4k per user and I can't recall seeing this mentioned somewhere previously. Thanks.

BTW, it's been a long four years waiting for Freelancer and I can hardly wait. With it looking like vaporware off and on for so long it's like a dream finally coming true! Multiplayer looks simply amazing in a game like this.

Whoosh......moved to Multiplayer forum

Your friend might be thinking of Massive Multiplayer, and it's not. Multiplayer will be fan based servers only.
