    Ive lost my faith in online games ever since Galaxies ( It was really good at the begining, then I just got really bored, I hated how u had to do a mission , then go all the way to the waypoint complete the mission then go back and pick another mission, I made Master Bounty hunter)

    I also signed up for the beta test about 1 1/2 - 2 months ago, and I still haven't gotten an e-mail either. If you find anything more out about this Mark, my friend (who also signed up) and I would appreciate it if you would let me know. ^_^

    If you're into MMORPGs then try City Of Heroes, from what I hear.

    City of Heroes looks great, but it's not my type of game. I really think anyone who is looking for a good MMORPG should be looking at Everquest 2. I'm really looking at Planetside, myself.

    The bullet-time looks really choppy in Matrix Online though, I guess it will be since it's something that hasn't been down before, to slow down 2 players' fight in real-time.

    Actually, Enter The Matrix had Bullet Time and it was greately done! Flawless! Max Payne had a bullet-time-esque feature and that was also done well.

    I find screenshots and videos don't compliment the game well enough, you need to play it to get the feel of it.

    I think that's the first time I've heard "Enter The Matrix" and "Flawless" used talking about the same thing. :lol:

    done*:whistle:

    I was referring to "bullet-time in real-time" how they're able to slow down gameplay over the internet with 2 different players.

    Unless both players use focus (as it was called in Enter The Matrix), it will be a blur on one side. Just like using force speed in Star Wars Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy.

    I have a theory for the bullet-time (aka Focus.) I thinkt hat itll look slow on the player screen who activated it, but to everyone else it'll look like theyre moving very quickly.

    No, it isnt on Enter the Matrix. They could just do the same setup again. Plus Focus doesnt last for a long time, maybe a few seconds at most.

    Hehe, here's an idea. If a player uses bullettime, he moves normally and everone else lags :p I'm diabolical aren't I?
