BUCCANEER - The pursuit of infamy. BETA TESTERS !!

[morgan terror]

i do, actually.

 

[Cylon13]

Of course I have. But only thing what is the problem is that my wireless connection keeps disconnecting lately and sometimes runs slow. I don't know what the heck is going on exactly but I can tell that something is obviously screwed with my ISP. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

 

[morgan terror]

oh, i've had that too. goes away after a while.

My connection is just bloody unstable and that is the main point why I'm not very fond of multiplayer and mmorpg games. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> try playing Halo or Half-Life 2 multiplayer with lag, Yes it'll make you go nuts and mean NUTS! (<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> I should add that Half-Life's multiplayer lagged only then when my connection was crappy but Half-life 2's multiplayer lagged ALL THE TIME! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> Wtf? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Halo multiplayer lagged almost all the time too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />

Imagine yourself getting killed countless times and you can't do jack s**t to prevent it because of lag? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ko.gif" /> It'll drive you nuts faster than you can say "game over". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> And after all that torture you had to go through you just wish you could blow someone's head off in that friggin' game and there you go.. and kill some AI or hundred (in the good 'ol fast non-laggy singleplayer) 'till you have recovered from your inabilty to shoot others in that @#£#$%#€#%#@!#¤!%!!!! multiplayer because of the bloody lag. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />

 

[Cylon13]

Yyyyyyyeah. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

 

[morgan terror]

yup, pulled another appropriate picture out of nowhere. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

 

[Cylon13]

Seriously it really is annoying when you are about to do something and then lag comes and.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> what the f'k? Next picture you see is you're dead. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />

What I am trying to say is that I won't be having a look at that Buccaneer multiplayer beta but I would have a look at singleplayer if it would be available. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Halo is one game I've always meant to buy, but have never gotten around to doing so. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I'm thinking I should get around to it soon, though - practically no stores here sell computer games now.

 

[Cylon13]

For an old game.. I think they did Halo graphics wrong because it lagged on me rig. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> And I had to play that game with low resolution so the game could run smooth. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />

 

[Stallion]

Well, I'm signed up for beta testing now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> It's good I have a Nvidia graphics card, as the game apparently hates any and all things Ati. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

 

[Peter Willemoes]

They could, of course, also have released Halo to the PC simultanious with the XBOX. But the XBOX won that battle, and I boycotted Halo ever since <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
(Unfortunately that did´nt do much, as more and more games nowadays are sololy released to the consoles..)

 

[skull]

Missed first part o beta test'n due to tech probs, testing this weekend prob fixed and had a hoot <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> and please fellers keep this thread on track as a Developer started this thread. Nice shoot'n Cap'n Drow. see on the OS as BootyCall <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

 

[LordDrow]

Ah, I was wondering who that was. Nice to see you made this round, Skull. You were shootin' fair strait yourself good sir.

And yes folks, this little arcady pirate game is one heck of a blast to play. From what I've been seeing of the multiplayer, it'll be one of those wild little games that likely won't ever be deleted from most peoples HDD's.

[Stallion]

I just need to learn how to avoid dishing out friendly fire. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> And running into the people on my own team. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

 

[skull]

Nice to see some PA shipmates on the high seas <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

Here is a screenie of Condor class Buccaneer ship. Great for blown up towns and sink'n Brits of the Crown <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

[Old Salt]

Sounds like a blast. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

 

[Stallion]

It's idiotically good fun. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

 

[skull]

Aye, one battle ,Stallion an me went 2 on 1 against the Crown for 3 rounds, at one point Brit an me sunk each other at the same time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> was good fights <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

 

[Stallion]

Novack had a knack for finding me just when my ship was on its last legs. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> He also respawned practically on top of me once. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
