gah

the lag! THE LAG! youd need a t3 or higher connection just to be able to walk around

No, it just wouldn't run. You'd need a super computer or some really skillful porting to pull that off.

Maybe sometime in the future...

well, look at the sp levels, they're FAR bigger then the multiplayer levels, yet, ABSOLUTELY no lag, so, it'd be hard, yes, it'd take alot of innnovation, but I think it'd be possible.

monkey, you gotta try and understand this, the singleplayer levels are all broken up into bits, and there are no AI's or anything happening in those bits when you arent in them, they arent even rendered.

Well, maybe it's possible... *shifty eyes*

Yeah. You could do the same with the whole ring, just that it would be so FREAKING HUGE you'd never manage it unless you had like, a whole square kilometre of hard drives.

you mean ram... and even then... youd need a processor roughly the size of sydney just to handle it.

In other words, not gonna happen. Would be awesome though.

boymonkey1300 · Post by **boymonkey1300** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:46 pm

yes, verv, very awesome. If only if only the ram had more.... uhm... I'm stuck there.

Scarecrow · Post by **Scarecrow** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:46 pm

not really.. it would just end up being like wow or anarchy online.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:48 pm

Still, it would be fun, I've played some of the new CE maps which although they aren't really even close to this, they do have a similar idea, different ares all linked up. Fun.

boymonkey1300 · Post by **boymonkey1300** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:49 pm

yeah, i wish I could make CE maps, I have some nice ideas I wanna try out.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:53 pm

Same. I want to make a Vietnam map (a good one, the one I saw kinda sucked).

hmm i just had an idea wat if we split the ring into 4 diiferent maps so tat one map is just one part of the ring?

Scarecrow · Post by **Scarecrow** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:56 pm

or how bout this... we do a WOW in the style of halo....

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:57 pm

Erm, a ring with a diameter of 10,000 km. Those sections are still gonna be huge. Unmanageably so.

Scarecrow · Post by **Scarecrow** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:58 pm

Halo - Worlds unknown
It'd actually be quite a sick MMORPG...

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:59 pm

Yeah, would be. 'Cept all the flood guys would own everyone else...

Scarecrow · Post by **Scarecrow** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 8:11 pm

not really...

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 8:16 pm

Think about it. One spore sneaks up and infects a Grunt. That mutates into a carrier, BAM! maybe 5 or 10 more carriers. BAM! another 5 or 10... Eventually you get combat forms in there too. Try playing 343 GS on legendary, see how long you can keep the Marines alive... and how many you lose...
