Comment Decent game, but with serious shortcomings (PC) (Score 1) 217

Gameplay-wise, it's not a bad game, but from a technical standpoint, it's a train-wreck (the PC version at least).

The memory usage is off the charts, even leaving Left 4 Dead in the dust, and L4D *loves* memory and cpu.

And the multiplayer is a joke. There is no anti-cheating system in place, and no dedicated server is available, so one of the players must host the server. Worse yet, once a round ends, the hosting player must re-launch it every time, so you can't just set it up and walk away.

Well, a server naming scheme can serve hundreds reliably if its tightly controlled and well thought-out, with a limited number of servers.

If you have hundreds of servers, or clients are also incorporated into the same naming scheme, then yes, chaos will ensue.

Well, my home network takes its names from the solar system.

My router is Sol, and my desktop is Earth. My laptop, which is quad-boot, is respectively Mars (XP), Ares (Vista), Phobos (Osx86), Deimos (Ubuntu).

I figure if I ever add another subnet, I can choose a neighboring solar system.
