Prey MP seems to play better than Doom 3

[bummerman]

I got 768 upload and am hosting 8 and seems to be doing better than when I was hosting 5 for Doom 3; any thoughts?

That, and its also much more fun. The mp in doom 3 was dull and very unbalanced.

It is a result of the age of the doom 3 engine at the release of doom 3 and the release of prey. there have been a very large number of changes in the engine since it's debut release with doom 3.

Once patches begin to come out after launch you will see an even better experiance online as netcode is perfected upwards of launch-material

hate to say this but this game is everything that q4 and Doom 3 should have been and I'm glad they didn't water down the engine like they did with q4 mp. These maps are sooo cool!!!!!:dopefish:

I, on the other hand, think q4 is everythign prey should've been minus wall walking/spirit.

There's a lot of innovation in Prey, you can hardly make the same claim for Q4; as for Doom,that game had a lot of potential, but needed some "TLC" from "Id" which it didn't give. I like the fact that the real powerful weapons in Prey are often harder to get to and or find as well as the ammo being sparse{ I spent an Hour and a half ,by myself, trying to locate the passageway to the rl on one map}also, the sunbeam ammo for the Leech gun seems to be always harder to locate than the other. I like the advent of proximity grenades but just last night, figured out how to activate them:doh:
A year and a half ago I was saying this engine wouldn't hit full stride for awhile, at the time I thought that Doom 3 would eventually catch on when the hardware and connection speeds improved. I was right , but it comes in the form of P"Prey":love:
