The two quotes below are from Derek Smart:
Wasn’t I saying in that other thread (where I was almost ripped apart by fanbors) that a peer-to-peer mp model for a game like this was a big mistake and that it needed to be client/server? So now they’re changing it.
Day 6 Status Report
Hopefully mp - the core of the game - will get better now.
@ Kestrel [who said: "It’s a hybrid, no? Still p2p unless one person can’t connect and then they’ll switch over to a proxy server."]
Nope. Ignore what Brad is saying. He (not being the developer of the net code) probably doesn’t understand it. There is no “hybrid” in p2p versus client/server. It is an all or nothing situation. For them to come up with this “hybrid” of both, would be a matter of months, not days because being a multiplayer ‘centric game, the underlying game code would have been specifically tailormade for p2p.
My guess is that they’re leaving some parts (which?) in p2p.
However, unless they go full bore client/server - not an easy undertaking when you’re coming from p2p - it is going to keep having problems. But in the long run, everyone will get to live with it and in a matter of weeks, we’ll all forget this ever happened. At least until the next game.
If this game were not specifically multiplayer, it would be a different story. But even the single player is really multiplayer against bots. Pretty much.
As I already stated, the problems go way - way - beyond being unable to connect, pirates bringing down the network. I called it. Here we are less than four days later and they’re already talking about changing the multiplayer model.
Brad, plz defend urself.

If 5v5 matches actually become playable next week, I promise to never EVER troll again.
P.S. my Frog-Avatar is cuter than yours.
Famous last words
Naw, he would've banned me already if he wanted to. Anyway, I truly believe I have the cuter Frog-Avatar. Can you reasonably disagree?
*edit* By "last words" do you mean I will have to give up trolling after next week? You actually think 5v5 will become playable?
You need to photoshop the frog eyes so they aren't so scary looking.
After reading that wiki article about battlefail 3000AD, I have to say I almost cried that a game could be in development for 7 years and then be released with so many bugs.
Odd, I have played BCMG, and am playing UCCE while I wait out the server repairs, and I have not run across a single bug in either. I have no idea why Derek Smart would want to waste his time coming here and participating in this thread. If Slurple were to start something like this on Derek's site, he would be toast in about 10 seconds.
If you want a good laugh, have a look at the trailer for Derek Smart's new rubbish and buggy game, All Aspect Warfare:
“Hornet’s Nest” features an intense air combat engagement which starts off with an aircraft selection. Due to its size, it has been released in two parts. Part 1 (running time 04:58) shows the mission planning, asset selection and ingress to the strike area. Part 2 (running time 12:15) shows the combat that ensues at the strike zone once all hell breaks loose."

I particularly like the high res textures of the in cockpit view, and the flight physics.
Hi res gfx's FTW. Yeah the cockpit looked as good as the original rogue squadron gfx for the n64.
It's a tough call. Derek Smart has lunatic strength and incredible stanima but Brad Wardell has bees and he strikes me as a biter.
Is that where all these zombies came from. Seriously, man, I had the population under control until last month.
Yay! A comic relief is always welcome...
If you really want to see something amazing...check out thedevelopment forum and read throught the posts. Watch him ask his "fans" questions on how to improve the game, only to literally **** all over them lol. The fans are funny too...always eeking in and starting off "I know the general gaming public doesn't understand your genius...but...".

go to "Community" - > "Development Blog" - > "First Person Mode - Whats wrong/right with it?"
Btw he is Supreme Cmd...anyways just go through reading that stuff...it's hilarious and sad at the same time.
Yes. Derek Smart has no idea wtf he's going on about.
In a deathmatch it'd probably go Derek Smart's way, Frogboy's defence relies on the fact that hitting him would be like kicking a puppy.
Derek Smart eat's puppies and craps games.
Man I was disgusted after reading through that thread. Dude is an ass who needs some humbling.
Dereck fckn smart can go where the bunnys go to die. lol.
He has to make a succesful game that is actualy working first....
Good luck. The members of that forum lurk around in eager anticipation of fresh, unsuspecting prey. They proudly wear the bones of their victims around their necks, daring others to step inside their lair. I take great amusement from observing the carnage.
Earlier todai in a thread I created on their forum, I predicted that 3000ad would see some added activity from this thread. I'm not a Derek Fanbot by any means, but I understand the rules of his forum. People who violate those rules are treated harshly, but they have been warned in advance. If Brad were to enact similar rules for Stardock (yes, I have started capitalizing it again), I would abide by those also, or move along to another forum.
If you (and I mean the forum community in general) really must flame someone, flame me for suggesting that Stardock committed a fundamental error by marketing a game to the Warcraft/DoTA demographic. I am old enough and cranky enough to hold my own against the most experienced and ruthless flamers on any forum, so bring it on.
At this point Starkock knows axactly how I feel, and how all of you feel. They need their rest now so that they can fix our respective servers, and both Demigod and Galciv2 players can get back to gaming.
