I don't think anyone is playing multi-player these days, lots of vets are either gone or not around much at all. also with the amount of tourneys and other things going on I don't think people would even bother and AI vs AI determines who's bot is better instead of who drives better/gets less lag :P

[Enoch]

hmm... well thats crappy... as much as i like AI v AI for true test of bot, i agree with the time honored tradition of driver being a larger factor than vehicle... a good driver can make a pos work and a bad driver cant win in a gawdly one.... plus its more fun to be the driver, spectating isnt my sport :) another problem i have is most of my bots are built for a singular purpose/strategy thats uncommon, ex. my iCanHazUrTirezPl0x? is specially designed to target the opponents tires and i couldnt even begin to think of how to AI that lol.... besides, if the US for war games tested UAV v UAV which would win? there identical? and with as many "clones" as there are(kinda hard to make anything that isnt technically a clone of sumthin anymore though) what happens when the bots are evenly matched?..... nah i say driver is more important than the bot build :P  which can be true i have beaten HW's with my pos AW that has 2 static rzr tips... it takes skill....

EDIT: i just realised who replied lol.... hey man nice AW chassis... i never use it but its nice, i cant get my weight that low >_< yours sits at 90.1 loaded and mines 90.5 loaded with plastic lol(i normaly use dsa) im close though... not bad considering i built it before i knew you existed :P you got hecka skill with AW's man i love your mini's xD

thanks glad you like them :) If you really want an online tournament i suggest you figure out a way for it to work out with lag, time schedules etc. or you could just set up a challenge like system for online battles.

spectating host server on a 1mg+ uprate should do ^^ id say id do it but my uprate is only .45m but my dl rate is 2.76m... if only there was a host server available like there is for most games -.- although anyone can make a host server so long as they have 1.5m+ uprate if there playing too or 1m uprate if there not... it also requires a domain though and everyone would have to set there robot arena to use the host server's domain address instead of gamespy's domain..... anyone have sufficient uprate and a spare computer and willingness to be the host server? if so ill look into resolving a domain and altering RA2 to use it as the default.... perhaps this should be like voted on or sumthin though? maybe im one of a kind in my interest to drive my own bots in battle -.-     how well did the hamachi work anyway? that could be a beginning to understanding as to whether a host server would work....

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Hamachi was lagless for host but very laggy for opponent:

I had no lag in this fight.

[Enoch]

wow ive played a couple friends online and it wasnt nowhere near that bad.... the only lag there was was about a half second delay on each computer o_O

[Badnik96]

I think there was something called Tunngle that was almost lagless, but I'm not sure.

[Sage]

for any local thing (hamachi, tuungle) theres no lag for the host but massive lag for the opponent. Always. there will never NOT be lag in RA2 online because of the way it's coded.

He probably wanted to get one post in so his account doesn't get deleted.

[ashman12]

Yes maybe, but he could have posted an introduction instead couldn't he?


That would be the better thing to do instead of just posting an emoticon and nothing else.

He could have done it in the "New members welcome" section.

R.I.P. New member section.

He's a new member so he could have posted an introduction in that area.

I was not informed of this because I can't see it without logging out.

[ashman12]

Well that must mean that you where banned from posting in the "New Members" area, and that would be why you can't view it. (Your not the only one, alot others where too, i was one of the few still allowed to view/post in it)
