Hi all,
I started to play UFO2000 a while ago. This is basicly the old UFO Defence/TFTD in multiplayer mode (battlescape only). The game is an open source freeware game based on the original UFO Defence/TFTD. Wouldn't it be great if there is a multiplayer mod of this game?
I don't think it should be too hard since UFO2000 was also made by modders. I played a x-com multiplayer tournament on this site: 7kplay .net All the links etc to the UFO2000 game are there too. (cant give you a link to the game since this is my first post . Real good classic stuff, What about adding a simular module to extraterrestrials??
Your opinion?

It would be nice to have (I'd especially like a co-op MP mod ), but I think you're underestimating the amount of work that would need to go into it. There's no built-in network support in the engine (that I know of), and that alone would take a lot of work to get in, if even possible. Things like match-making, balance, and handling joins/drops/latency would all have to be handled gracefully. It's just wishful thinking in my opinion...
