More multiplayer stuff...
Today and last night I played a couple of other multiplayer games...
First off I played some Doom 2 which I put into COOP mode so that people can join in if they like.. it was pretty interesting because it ended up being like every once in a while a person would join the game and help me for a while. However there was a person who came in one time who was trying to enter in cheat codes and the cheat codes where only showing as chat messages because cheats don't work in multiplayer. I tried telling the person that and that person kept on trying and then finally gave up and left. Also quite a few players who joined in I guess lagged too much. I wish I knew a player who likes to play old Doom who I have a good ping to to play COOP with.
I played some Quake 3 Arena online which because there are lots of good servers out there for it I got a good connection and thusly smooth gameplay but I don't practice Q3A as much as some of the people who play it all the time so they soundly spanked me. It almost felt like it took less for them to kill me than it took for me to kill them for some reason but it may just be my imagination because I was on a server with anti-cheat punkbuster on.
Both of those games can play mixed mac and pc online.
I tried Prey again but yet again there is practically only one server that the Mac version can play on I still get bad ping to so it's not a fair match.
