I am getting ready to start up a game
It will only let me host 8 players, I think that's bullshit, I have Road Runner turbo
maybe i need to use an ethernet cable instead of the wi-fi connection - would that help?
server is evilbore
password is ebore
rotating all maps on team deathmatch, but i can adjust if people want
i'll let it run for a couple of hours, then i gotta go to bed
-
all right, it keeps giving me a "failed profanity filter" message even though i have used no profanity
even though i have reentered this info five times already, i'm going to try it again and just restart my system,
we'll see
-
whats a warhawk
-
WHAT THE FUCK
this goddamned game will NOT let me create a match
it continues to give me a "failed profanity filter" message
i have set no greeting message, so it can't be that
i changed the password from ebore to yeah on the off-chance "ebore" might be recognized as a curse word by the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows in sonyland
and it still won't let me in
what the hell am i doing wrong here?
-
apparently, "EelOBrian" is considered profanity in Stupidville, population Warhawk
So,
server is evilbore
password is ebore
it's 11 pm here in NC, I'll let the server run until 12:30
i may not play in every game
-
network error, that's just awesome, now i have to set it up all over again
gg sony online service
-
screw it, don't feel like going through the hassle again
i'll try again later in the week
maybe i'll try an ethernet cable and see if the game will let me host more than 8 players
if not, that's complete bullshit, i hosted 24 player games in COD3 on 360 with absolutely no problems
-
tried an ethernet cable, and it still wouldn't let me host more than 8 players
that's fucking distinguished mentally-challenged, I have a 700+kbps upstream
this makes me not want to keep this game
i'm glad i bought the disc version
-
If PS3 actually did have a flood of third party exclusives I'd feel like I was being gimped by their POS online service.
-
sony's online is easy to connect, i'll give it that, but it's all downhill from there
that 8 player limit pisses me off the more i think about it
-
searched around, and found out that there's just no way around that 8 player cap
even though, again, i have hosted much larger rooms in other games
haha, the sony fanatics on the boards i searched gave the usual "oh, 32 players is too much anyway, you'll get used to the smaller games" bullshit defense of this retardery
fuck warhawk
i'm gonna hold onto this for a week or so, get some playtime out of it, and call it an expensive rental
and i'll be goddamned sure to do some extensive research before i plop down the cash to buy another sony online game
-
so warhawk basically forces you to host X number of people based on your connection?
i thought they had their own servers, why would you need to host?
-
yeah, you're capped according to whatever arbitrary method they used to determine what your internet speed can handle
yes, there are dedicated sony servers, but i want to host some of my own larger-scale games limited to friends and online acquaintances
they won't let me do that - even though i know for a fact my bandwidth can handle more than 8 players
i knew i might not be able to handle 32-player games, but goddamn, i ought to be able to host 16 easily
essentially, if i host, unless i scale down the maps, the games will be ghost towns
and if i scale down the maps, 50% of the game is cut off to me
fuck warhawk
-
well, i'll give it a week to thrill me, but that's a huge disappointment right off the bat
