Re: [hlds_linux] Consoles playing with PCs in TF2
.. simply judging from back in the day when +mlook was not the norm. Extrapolate that to today, and I guarantee a bloodbath at the hands of people using mice. I have no doubt that tf2 is playable w/o a mouse; its just that I can't imagine trying to play *against* somebody who has a mouse.

Re: [hlds_linux] Consoles playing with PCs in TF2
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Is that a fact or just something you think would the reason? From what Ive heard from friends, tf2 plays very nicely with xbox360.

Re: [hlds_linux] Consoles playing with PCs in TF2
One word: Gameplay. console vs mouse/kb players == fish in a barrel. Valve would have a full scale console-fanboy whine fest on their hands.

RE: [hlds_linux] Consoles playing with PCs in TF2
No, this is not happening in the real world but we have made it work in our office. It's conceivable that for some future Valve game may support cross-platform, but the Orange Box will not. -Mike Durand Valve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Schremp Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 9:08 AM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] Consoles playing with PCs in TF2 -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Again, I pose the question now that the game is released. Are Xbox 360s using the same dedicated servers for gameplay as PCs? I found an interview with Doug on IGN that suggests that cross-platform playing was done, but I still don't know if that's just for LAN play, or if they're using our servers. >From the interview: *Robin Walker*: So the Xbox one, we have people in on Xboxes, while you were playing [referring to IGN] there's people playing on Xbox 360s. *IGN: In that play session we just did? * *Doug Lombardi*: Yeah there's always at least one guy, in there, that's an Xbox 360 guy. *IGN: So you're actually playing now on Xbox 360s connected to PCs? * *Doug Lombardi*: Technically it's done. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
