Would it be possible to play multiplayer between Palm OS and Pocket PC 2003 when multiplayer arrives? Please make it possible, because there would be alot more opponents.

With blue tooth that will be possible. I think everyone is going to be happy with the way it will work.

At this time no final decision has been made. We are looking over our options and trying to decide what makes the most sence.

I think the option for infrared wouldn't hurt, even if it isn't optmized in the first patch. Many, many people are without bluetooth, and just about every PDA has infra red, so naturally it'd appeal and sell to more people.

Understandably it would appeal to a lot of users, but if it can't be made to work well then that time would have been better spent perfecting other aspects of the multiplayer experience.

Hi i am new in this forum, It will be realy cool to play Warfare with infra red, becouse there's a lot of people having the T-E or silmilar without blue-Tooth, so realy :!: It would be great :!:

WiFi and Bluetooth are alot faster than IR, so it may be alot harder to get it to work on IR. Also, I would learn NOT to expect it, because I have played other games through IR (simpler than this), that are really chopper and basically impossible to play, but you never know, Handmark/Spiffcode got this to work on b/w devices, so they may be able to get IR to work pretty good too. I would still like this option though, because some of my friends only have devices with IR...

I would like the cross platfrom multiplay though. I have several friends that have Bluetooth PPC's while I have as Bluetooth Palml, and it would be great to play them.
