First RiNo reviews are in, and the scores are not promising! The game's been tested and Team RiNo is not amused.Here's a quick summary of our findings:
The game itself plays awesome, and looks beautiful .. however,
According to Frulli:
- There are no dedicated servers, codemasters have not yet responded when dedicated servers will be added.
- There is no anti-cheat protection (due to the fact that there are no dedicated servers.)
- As the game is now, there are only a few multiplayer maps available.
- Currently all servers are player hosted via P2P connection.
- When hosting a server there is no option to "force ready", all players need to select manually.
- When a map has started, no other players can join.
"This is really silly, the game is great, but there's no servers to play on. The poor bastards who try to host from their machine give up because of the lag, the are not able to play and host at the same time and then they just kill the server and you get disconnected. This is an epic fail so far, but we will see what codemasters respond to this. Lots of posts about this on the official forums and clans cursing and yelling because of the lack of dedicated server support..."
According to KidVicious:
- It's not possible to search for servers via IP.
- The server browser rarely finds anything.
- I've only seen 3 maps in the game mode Annihilation.
- Since there is one player hosting the game: Whenever he/she quits, the server shuts down.
- There is, to my knowledge, no map cycle on the servers.
As it is now, I'm not convinced to buying the game, but I'll wait till the game is better up and running, first days since release so all is not lost (yet).
