[QUOTE="cubemoss, post: 67837, member: 2344"] Well, good point about the chat room honor system. But think of folks who haven't played before, who are presumably gonna be matched up against strangers... it could make it less fun for them. But like I said, I'm not arguing against having that mode, I just wanted to describe the mode that I think of when I think of playing a two player game on a pinball table. As for your first point, well the way it would work is like other multiplayer online games like Halo or COD or Madden. The network code isn't transmitting the video image, it's just transmitting information about the state and position of players and objects. Each player's console then "draws" the image. Lag wouldn't even be as much of an issue because the player who is waiting for their turn doesn't need to do any actions in response. There are a few games already that let you watch other players, some racing games do this for example. But I mean, this is just a two player scenario where people take turns, like checkers or chess but just a bit more flashing lights and awesome sounds! [/QUOTE]
