Web-Based

[ZajferX]

Yeah .. it just hit me while i was surfing that i miss not to be able to play the game where ever i am so i thought to suggest (if not already done or thought of) that it would be awesome to have an web-based version of the game .. i do realize the work behind that but it still would be so awesome to be able to play on an web-based version as well.

when i say web-based i think of .. google+/facebook and of course as well standalone

just a thought but i say it again it would be really awesome to have :D

I guess that is simply not realistic. For one, the game requires a lot of data (350+ Mb) which reduces the "instant play" by quite a bit But if a multiplayer lobby and/or central ranking system is in place, this data could be used to set up matches and/or challenge friends on those platforms via a social webapp. So a web interface could be a portal to the game (which should of course be installed separately).

The web is not advanced enough yet. Strides are being made to ensure that this may be possible in the near future

There are some leaps and bounds with Google Chromes OpenGL support. They made a demo FPS which played pretty smoothly.

But yer, it'd be a lot of work, wouldn't be cross-browser compatible, and the moment it got popular, it'd struggle to keep up :-)

Even with WebGL, this just wouldn't work. Yet. It would be really cool though.

WebGL is, IIRC, roughly OpenGL ES, so we could probably reuse some of the Android port.
