lame

hopefully its for the better :P

lame x2

this isnt official yet... its still the 19th in West USa and hawaai .... :D

it'll be the 20th in 10 minutes here (eastern usa), and still no patch

GO PK GO!

wtf 90 players? rofl

...

I really dont think thats the reason :) its still 100x less then other games that have been released for a few days..

but hey, what fun is multiplayer when your mouse actually reacts on your ping...

it's probably because the game is kind of unknown outside of ESR :)

Plenty of updates about this game has been posted on shacknews, a site with a far bigger readership than ESR. It probably hasn't been completely bypassed by other gaming sites either.

I just know that it hasn't gotten that much attention on swedish sites like www.gamingeye.com...

thats bullshit.go play UT :<

Even TOCA Race Driver 2 MP DEMO has about 1000 players >:).

doesnt matter how long it takes as long as its good

lol yes, im not gonna buy the game unless they fix them damn bugs in the game!!@!??

nobody is forcing you

hopefully the game will lift off when 1.1 arrives

No problem. Haven't even finished downloading the game yet.. ;-)

Cough.

i want your babies.

This whole PK thing is kind of amuzing to me...

the longer the wait, the more people who wont be arsed to wait for it... we can only hope this patch will be a step in the right direction but I figure the game still needs alot of work (netcode seemed bad as well?)

until PK and the modding community (who are helpless now, I think? until they release mod tools..) proof me wrong, PK will neither be my replacement game or my 'new game' (see column) ;)

....why me

Well it looks like the game won't even be released in Finland, probably some other countries as well. They definitely haven't done good job with the marketing, that's one of the reasons why there probably won't be players. This is the first game I know that hasn't been released here.

most people here on ESR are/were interested in the game because it has something that quake has ;)

if you mention painkiller on a lan (like the one I just came back from with 1250 ppl) everybody knows the game...

What are they gonna fix in the patch any idea?

lots of small tweaks i believe, such as with the stakegun for example... they'll also add demo recording i think

anyway: http://www.pkeuro.com

Phew; i mistaked thuesday for thursday a second there ^^

Well, it might not even be today now..

i have a feeling in my stomach this game won't bring it to pleasant multiplayer feeling...

pls release the patch and convice me otherwise. else i am gratefull i couldn't yet buy the game \o/

(i am in a bad mood atm :< )

Painkiller is really bad in mp unfortunatly. The netcode is awfull, and the weapons.
1v1 looks like this grab rl>grab armor>kill enemy>repeat.
U have two most powerfull weapons in one - mini and rl.
And the stake gun is all about luck. It deals tons of damage (200/270) , and it's reload time is long. But it has nice granades also...;).
With shotgun u can kill only unarmoured enemy if u have luck getting really close to him.
One weapon left, that seems to be quite nice but didn't test it in mp.

Doubt that the new patch will change the game in mp...

"1v1 looks like this grab rl>grab armor>kill enemy>repeat."

Forgive me if I'm wrong... but this is one of the things that made QW so popular in duels and TDM.

I think people hard having a hard time accepting this game because it's just so freaking fast. Granted, there are most definately some things that need to be changed, but for the most part the speed of the game is on par with the early days of Quake 1.

I've had the opportunity to play it MP and I didn't find it that bad (except for the maps that are stakegun only [BIG OLE WTF TO THOSE MAPS]), I have some faith that the PK fellas will listen, change, and put smiles on gamers.

I look forward to reviewing this game this week on Epileptic Gaming, I only hope that the patch is released before then so we can give some fair playtime to their changes.

wheat

I'm not an old player , and i haven't anufotunatly played QW. But if it was like this in QW then players from this game should like PK;).

Although i don't find PK a fast game. With the movement it takes some time to speed up , and it's also amazingly easy...

I think the game would be better if at least the weapons would be splited. So mini/rl , stake/gl etc. imo should be seperate weapons...

There's pretty much no point using any other gun than RL if you can get it :)

The playerbase is too selective and small for it to take off.

Part of the player base is hostile and has an elitist attitude as well... This which I've experienced myself..

:( I want the perfect game now!

so lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!! painkiller is the next game!! yeehaa! my ass ! :)

Some of you people just have no clue what you are talking about.

"Painkiller is really bad in mp unfortunatly. The netcode is awfull, and the weapons."

The game needs a bit of work. That is it. Great game in my opinion.

In reality it needs a good bit of work which they seem to be putting in. The mp demo will have to regain interest from people who have lost it.

They are using the MP to gain attention to the community... they will do whatever they can since it will make or break the game.
