ScottWAR and I played a game last night and I agree that it is the only way to go. Playing against the AI is dull compared to having a human opponent. He took me pretty easily (and congrats to him) but I hope that just means that I have some areas where I can and will improve.
I have a suggestion for improving the MP environment. There are many voice-over-IP (VOIP) programs that are available for gaming use, such as TeamSpeak and Ventrilo. I have used them in other gaming environments (I do quite a bit of online sim-racing) and I recommend it highly. What would be needed to promote and enhance multi-player WPP would be a dedicated VOIP server with a common room and a number of rooms where players could go to play out a game. I don’t know if Shrapnel games could do this and have it linked to the forum but my opinion is that this would do a lot to enhance the experience and it might even sell a few more games.
The other suggestion I have is for players having trouble getting MP to work is to visit

lots of good advice and help there.
Hey Scott,
I want a rematch.
Probably can’t make it tonight but soon I hope.
