It is really unbelievable to hear that Capstone's WITCHHAVEN will suffer from what i call the RISE OF THE TRIAD (RotT) and TERMINAL VELOCITY (TV) SYNDROME! That is... they have modem play BUT ONLY DAMMMMM DEATHMATCH!!!!! Why the hell do u guys release such games with potential but then the most important key for the games lastability gets botched?!?!?!?!? I heard that WITCHHAVEN will only have DEATHMATCH MODEM PLAY!!!! Arghhhh!!! YOU CAPSTONE GOOFS! Dont do an APOGEE/3DREALMS maneuver! I emailed 3Drealms right after TV was released and was just livid that they'd had make their future 3D games (Shadowwarrior, Duke Nukem 3D, etc etc..) fully COOP Modemplay like DOOM... damn it!!! 3drealms now understands what i said and are now going like what DOOM soooooooooooooooooooooooo damn well.. COOP modem/netplay is what makes the game!!!!! Deathmatch just does not cut it! Boring!!!!!! Becomes drab in 15mins! Look at Activision's Mechwarrior ][!!!! Activision made the mistake of taking their sweet time to release COOP Modem/Net play until Dec.. Guess whats already happening to MW2 over a month since its release.. Hardly anyone's talking about it!?!?!? WHY?!?!?!? ************ NO R E P L A Y A B I L I T Y VALUE !!!! ******************* DEATHmatch modem play for MW2 is a joke.. Even with the modem fix (joke) u can take loads of damage without dying. Sad. Couldnt believe it but then again with the sorry state of its modem play.. QUAKE will take it over.. QUAKE's wake will just absorb all game attention... Well... Just very very upset that a good game like WITCHHAVEN could have had some potential but DEATHMATCH with only handheld weapons and just one other player to fight... THE HELL WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Capstone.. TEKWAR better have COOP MODEM play or say later like whats going to happen with WITCHHAVEN. NOTHING...............ABSOLUTELY nothing feels like playing a game then with yer buddies around u against the common foe. LET *DOOM* be your inspiration or die like RotT and TV which are now just shelved kuzz they had no potential for fun! Lest i mention those fools at LucasArts and their decision butchering of the great DARK FORCES... not having modemplay just kuzzz its *Not STar Wars proper* for a rebel to fight a rebel!!! BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make it proper for the sake of the market damn it!!!!!!! Would have made ya tonnes of more cash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiots!!!!!!!! Well.. hehehe.. sorry for the breakout but NO ONE is mentioning this... I guess we take what DOOM has for granted and think most game companies would expand on DOOM's perfection. Their fiscal loss.. what a waste of potential code.. <sign>. Please... comments welcome... Last time i wrote a message here no one replied.. such a game-wise important issue after i heard WITCHHAVEN again will suffer from the RotT/TV deathmatch only bulls**t!!!!! Thanx, Edwin.. Dissatisfied 3d euthusiast!!
