It's better that way.Įach map "knows" what the next map should be, so you don't have to keep track of which map you're on and which to load next. Moral to the story: Everyone should just buy a copy of Opposing Force and follow the instructions of this guide. There are maps that are so short that if you did start to play immediately while your friends are downloading maps, you can easily finish the map before they connect! If you want to be polite you just sit and wait, waiting for your friend to connect. Unfortunately, people can play immediately once they enter the game, so that means the host can start playing right away. So you see, it can be a pretty painful wait if you have far away players. We both have high speed internet connections. A friend in Tokyo has to wait about 2 minutes for a typical Opposing Force map to download before he can play. A person on my home LAN in the same room downloads the maps and is ready to play in about 10-20 seconds on a standard Gigabit ethernet connection.The other players will download the maps from the host when the maps are needed.This is why the host must follow these instructions and the players should follow them: Anyone who doesn't follow these instructions won't have the Opposing Force / Blue Shift maps available, therefore, every time the map changes, Sven Co-op will download the map from the host to the player. We made the game maps available to Sven Co-op.
All the other players ought to follow these instructions, but it's not mandatory. The host must follow the instructions in this guide.
