I searched and couldn't find anything, and was wondering how the game will be released.

any answers appreciated.

First of all welcome to the forum, and sorry for editing your post. The game will be made available free* for download probally hosted on AFC's forums, which botfii.armadafleetcommand.com is a part of.

* at this moment this will be the case, unless we own the license for it.

Hey Jiggalypuff or admin, something is wrong with the dates on the forum. They all read 10-30-04 or something. Could someone fix this, please?

Also, it would be cool if the game was released for everyone to download(hold on, hold on). With the understanding that only the select playtestors would give official feedback. And possibly another topic for "everyone else" to post feedback, reviews, bugs and so forth.

I think this would keep more people interested in the game, and "quiet" all the questions of when will the general population get a chance to play it.

IMHO Quake_Devil

P.S. I'm always looking for someone to play a multiplayer game, either at the MSN ZONE(easiest to find/join games), TCP/IP direct, or MSN MESSENGER(you can launch directly from it).

TO get to MSN ZONE click here 1. http://zone.msn.com/en/root/cdrom.htm
you need a .NET or .MSN account,
2. click SIGN IN .NET, (sign in),
3. click ZONELAN-DirectPlay lobby, (ZoneFriends starts up, IM service),
4.you now need to refresh the page to get the DirectPlay lobby to show up,
5. click on DirectPlay(at bottom of list) and the lobby window will open
6. click on an unused room, a window of all DirectPlay compatible games pops up, pick (hopefully in the list) BOTF, and you are set to get a game.

To get a TCP/IP game you need to set up a time, and give the players the IP address of the host player. This requires a IM service to have any chance of getting set up. Email and Message Boards are to hard to set up with. IMO.
This is where MSN Messenger comes into play.. you can see who is online, chat with them, and launch the game without having to trade IP address.
The host selects start BOTF(from a list of games) for 1 person at a time.
When 1 person connects, swap out of game(with ALT+TAB), and select start BOTF with the next player, until all are connected.
Or just give the IP address if comfortable for quicker setup.

I am _Quake_Devil_ @ ZONE
red_dragon_1@hotmail.com @ Messenger and email
and i forget ICQ at the moment.

It's amazing with all the members here and at AFC that it's hard to find anyone to play a multiplayer game with.

I would and do play almost any mod or Tech level or Galaxy size or race!!!!

I don't want any more talks about anything relating $ for this game!

THIS GAME IS FREE DOWNLOAD! GOT IT!

I know you want an end to the payment thing. However. I just have to say, BOF 2 would be one of the few things on the net where I would be happy to cough up some dosh, and noboddy wants it!

Wierd.

quake i`ll give you a game on friday, if your free that is and not on the beer planspac and planboni ok with you?

Hi Jiggalypuff,

This Friday would be hard to get a game in, being it's Christmas Eve. Saturday would be the same predictament. Maybe Sunday or any other eveniing of the week.

How would you like to "meet up"? ZONE, IM....


I would have to download the planspac and plansboni, I doubt we would have the same files....

I found what the problem was. It was like you 2 said in my profile. I had a specific date in the PHP(0) field, I changed it to M/D/Y, and now the lower left date reads Dec/Thu/2004. Better, but not great. So, what do you, iwulff or rigel or jig, have it set up as?

Thanks, QD.

ooh i cant wait! im soooo looking forward to this game!
i assume it will be a standalone game or a mod for botf?
