Cannot understand why Aus is not onboard!!

[Kickaha]

I'm an Aussie & have played MW since MW2....I can remember you had a hard time just getting on a server they were all so full...MW4 was the same...now we have a better product than all of these put together & only a few diehards play. Is it because its a mod? Am I missing something or have all the Aussie gamers gone for the old "run & gun" of Modern Warfare....I dunno!

for me, MWLL being a mod, is a drawback.
the thing is, when a game gets released, the rules, the balance, is often set in stone and wont change dramaticaly.
it is like it is. you might not like the balance, but you follow the rules of the game and adapt.

MW2 was not perfect. for example the hitboxes of the arms were horrible. but people still played it like crazy

when a mod remakes a previosuly popular game, everyone feels obliged to moan and complain about
every aspect of the game. and as the mod team wants their mod to be popular and played by many.
they more often than not cater to the loud croud. which causes the rules to change alot during the making
of the mod.

I'm really hoping the Aus crowd who aren't playing much anymore come back, and more players from NZ/Aus pick the mod up, there are very few overseas servers that we can even join. Losing anyone is a pretty rough blow to a playerbase this small.

Once I get my rig setup, I'll be playing.  Maybe in a couple of months..

I think the biggest problem  whit this game is the engine its really demanding for pc. Not evryone has a gaming pc

Agreed, I haven't been playing much due to stuff happening IRL, but hope to get back into playing some (although my dad is very wary of our 'meh' internet now...).  Btw Xarg, what other servers are you talking about?

[MagicBedRoom]

i think a big part of the reason is that there has been no advertising as with the release of retail game.
I only became aware of the MWLL mod because i was logging on to the iinet homepage to check my quota and happened to read a headline about a problem being fixed with the 3FL MWLL servers. Now the game threatens to take over my life and im pushing it on all my friends.

But yes I am also disappointed that there is only is rarely anyone on the aus servers.

I was playing (tll) us-tx with about 190 ping earlier (back on Telstra yay!), and I think it's Battletech - EU that doesn't have a ping kicker.

actually the misconception that Crysis and therefore MWLL needs a mega gaming PC probably stops many from taking the mod up

My son plays MWLL on his single core AMD 2400 with 2gb ram and a Geforce 8600, and thats hardly a mega rig but it plays smoothly on medium/low settings and it still looks great

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

Well, yes and no... Crysis does need a mega-super good gaming rig.... if you wanna play it in eyefinity/massive resolution with all settings on amazingly high. To play on med/low doesn't require a lot in the way of gear... if you can't run Crysis in med/low, chances are your gaming experience with most games coming out lately will be poor as well.

Chances are a lot of people who 'can't play Crysis my machine isn't good enough' could fix that with 1-2 small hardware upgrades (usually graphics card, and I'd hazard a guess at RAM as well). This game is 2-3 years old now, and while it does look great on high settings, it won't be the ultimate benchmark game for much longer (if it even still is)

[DruidChiken]

Yes Xarg to get the eyecandy with good fps it does need high end machine, but that shouldnt scare people away from trying this mod

3yrs ago PC's that were considered high end are just mid range now

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

Back when Crysis released I could understand people not having computers good enough to run it (3-4 years old before the game came out, good luck running it), but now, multiple generations of graphics cards later, computers still being relatively cheap to assemble, and sufficient ram/cpu being easy and cheap to obtain, I really don't see there being much of a case for being unable to run Crysis.

Unless you're just above the starvation line and are using an old computer, in which case you probably have more important things to worry about.

Not exactly.  A lot of "gamers" that I know of are playing on storebought 400-600 dollar emachine/HP/etc rigs with an integrated card or something like a 7200-8200 nvidia card/Radeon x800. You would be surprised at the amount of people who only play things like CS or WoW and are sorely lacking in things because it only requires a 1ghz 256mb ram computer.

Well I am an Aussie and haven't stopped playing the old Mech4Veng,BK,Merc after 8-9 years ... I just don't have the same time nor inclination to spend up to 12 hours, in a sitting, playing a new game mod or not. But I have had a go at MW:LL, and will be playing it a bit more. I am not a very good keyboard / mouse player so that is a drawback for me.

Bawk! at House Jurai ... I attended the infamous HJ / KH paintball day in Sydney many years ago.

[whitedrake 1FSAC]

i was an old joystick man myself, but even getting it sorted out *I can use one now*  i've found i'm much better with mouse and key now.

you ausies,,   burn off some mwll disks with instructions and rubber band them to crysis disks at your local stores..

that's what i'm doing out here in CA..  i've set out 20 sets now..
