Btw love your sig. I shall place an image of our Diety Orici on my stats template when we can do that.

As for SP, well its a long way off. Interesting to hear they are putting in AI elements.

Oh and Col, its kinda hard to charge more for a product once you have already released it at $20. They could only really perhaps make more money from DLC's or expansion packs.

Thnx and thnx

But from whay I understand of it, it would be great to have some AI elements in the game!

How the **** do you guys play with such high ping? You wouldn't be able to accurately aim or anything.

that is CRAZY ping. it barely works on my computer but thats because i have a terrible laptop

I like SP mode for the people that eventually have ping +500 (Today im lagged and i cant play) because the servers are on EEUU.

Or start to create European servers...

thats crazy ping! are you playing through an older wireless rooter or something?

2, 6, 12 or 1000mb, it wouldnt make a difference for a game like this. Its more about the quality of your wires, how close you are to your isp and how good there servers are.

also of course its about how far away your are from the game servers, but thats a given.

there are 2 problems with making a single-player campaign

1) map selection is poor

they would have to greatly expand the maps, and then a coherent reason why a map like piramese is your mission and why the map is so small.

only thing they could do is a battlefront style where its mostly a single-player online-style game.

2) AI

a) real-time AI is ridiculously difficult to get right. that is why in most SP games the AI is absolutely horrible, or very resource intensive. most companies chose the horrible route. its cheaper.

b) you can generally buy AI packages for your engine, but they will cost you money, and be horrible.

c) you want to have a chance at having good and complex AI? try playing some single-player turn-based games.

Mmm, my favorite kind of game I can attest to this quote.

You cant get a wired connection at all? Wireless is the worst for gaming. Period!

Not true. I have wireless (between my comp and router anyway) and my ping sits below 20.

If Unreal Tournament III can have a single player campaign, so can SGR.

i haven't played battlefront, but i'm guessing it's just replacing other players with bots, for when you have no internet available. thats all i want, i don't need a story, or long cutscenes.
its like when i bought doom 3. i loved previous dooms, and i figured it would be like that, but look a lot better. then i played doom 3 single player for a couple hours and never played it again. it felt like watching a movie that i had less than no interest in. doom is not about story, it's about killing. if there was a story in doom 2, i was too busy killing to notice it.
in sgr, i always play jaffa, but in single player i would play sgc. all i've ever really wanted in a stargate game is to mow down jaffa, ori soldiers, or wraith, in familiar locations from the shows. i don't care if they act like idiots, firing wildly in my direction. but a difficulty adjustment that affects their hit ratio would be cool.

I think it would add some value to the game, and provide a venue for players to escape from the battles on Earth/Piramess/Amarna.

not that anything i say will make a difference, but for my own sake im gonna throw in my two cents. this was suggested above but im gonna say it anyway.

this game could only go singleplayer, in my opinion, if they did something similir to the battlefield series. use the same maps but just add bot support. easier said then done, i know but thats what i think. personally i think it would be great to have singleplayer support but i dont think its gonna happen.

They're talking wireless internet - as in, you're communicating with a wireless internet provider miles away. That's high latency.

I personally get less than 20ms ping at all times on these servers.


As for single player, I would enjoy it, but it would take a looong time for them to develop. They would obviously need to make brand new maps for it, then do voice acting, then pre-rendered scenes, and quite a bit of other stuff for it.

Yeah, that kind of internet is slow even when you are within a few blocks of the antenna (and if you are right at its base, sometimes you are in a blind spot for the signal and get nothing :O )

Have none of you played UT3? You know, the game that the engine for SGR came from? Their campaign is just a string of the multiplayer maps put together with bots and a weak *** story. It most definitely should be made secondary to improving the game as it is, but it isn't nearly as difficult as you all are making it out to be.
