Given that the article also talks about the game's "steep learning curve" (compared to what, exactly? Solitaire!?!) and mission design capabilities (nope, I14 still on test) I'd guess it was written in a bit of a hurry. By someone that's heard about the game second hand.

Still, a good review's a good review, and it can only help bring people in.

Given that it talks about console games as well, then you've got the marvel ultimate alliance series, crackdown etc that have multiplayer.

Reason I asked since it's apparantly UK based.
Ok so it has services in other countries but... Ehh... This is EU.

Didn't Freedom Force eventually have a multiplayer function added? - But yes, re: your point - I don't think they know the difference between a Multiplayer game an a MMO... henceforth take their report as newsfluff.

Just chuck a newbie into a custom mission, that'll soon get them learning the ins and outs of the game VERY quickly! (darnit why isnt there a devils smiley?!!?)

Do most people? when i explain what what CoH is the normal reply i get is "what like Halo/quake/gears of war/doom online" normally followed by something along the lines of "and you cant play it offline?"

Leese · 03-25-2009 11:14 AM

Weren't Tiscali seriously throttling or blocking CoH's traffic a while back? (could be years...) Did they stop doing that or what?

SpikyShane · 03-25-2009 11:25 AM

I'm on Tiscali and my CoH works perfectly well, so I guess they stopped doing it.

I had the misfortune to be with Tiscali years ago and I have to say they were then "probably the worst ISP in Britain" glad to hear they have improved

Happy to be on Defiant.

Still wouldn't touch them with a 600ft pole after the stupid stories I read about them. It makes me ill enough to know my dad stupidly switched phone providers to Toucan a few year ago (Thankfully to be rectified when we're switched over to Sky within the next month or so... Hopefully.).

I think that wall would be at least 20ft high, perhaps imbedded with broken glass and razorwire - maybe have some black mamba venom liberally sprinked all over it.

Oh it's so painfully true.
I almost fell off chair laughing at that one.

Rooks · 03-26-2009 03:46 PM

I think what that article means is that MMOs in general have a steeper learning curve than than 'regular' games, which in my limited experience of other MMOs I would have to agree with. I think coming to CoH now as a new player would find the curve a lot steeper than when I first joined as it was pretty bare-bones back then, much easier to grasp as a newbie I think.

It's good that CoX is getting some attention. But I really don't think it has a steep learning curve, especially compared to other MMOs (looks at EvE with a dirty face).
