Usee, you should give the Multiplayer another chance. Give it some time. I found it a bit hard at first, too. But eventually you get better with enough practice, and it becomes more fun.

For Light Cycles in Single Player, the AI is actually not that tough once you've played against real opponents in Multiplayer. At first the AI seemed hard, but eventually you learn the only thing they have in their favor is super-fast reflexes and they can turn on a dime. Other than that, they're pretty stupid.

For Disc Arena in SP . . . well, that was something that was planned. But it got scrapped. Or, more like completely changed. It became Multiplayer only. I don't know why, but I wish Monolith would have left at least one Disc Arena match in SP, against some ICPs or other opponents.

I have almost the same setup as you, and don't find the game to lag at all. (Same video card and memory, but Athlon XP 3200+ instead.) It runs smooth as butter. As for F.E.A.R. running on the same engine: yes and no. The Jupiter engine received many upgrades for F.E.A.R., that put more demands on the system than before. (Much more sophisticated physics, for example.) Also, the renderer makes more extensive use of higher polygon models, shaders, and all that nice stuff. So it's unfair to compare F.E.A.R. (running on Jupiter EX) to Tron 2.0 (Jupiter). Tron is a lot less demanding on the hardware.

F.E.A.R., on the other hand, I fully expect to lag on my machine. I plan to check out the F.E.A.R. demo shortly, to see what Monolith has cooked up in their latest game. From all the previews, I'm really not that excited about it. Maybe I'll change my mind after I've tried the demo.

Really, where are you getting your information from? Disc arenas were always a multiplayer mode in the design docs I have.

From what I can tell, Monolith had at least considered doing a Disc Arena level in SP. But obviously they didn't follow through.

One of the promotional trailers shows the player on some rings being attacked by an ICP. This map must have either been scrapped, or morphed into one of the Multiplayer maps we ended up getting.

There's also evidence in the game files themselves. References to Disc Arena loading screens with descriptions for Single Player, that weren't used in the final game.

Must've been scrapped really early. I have designs dating back to the first two months and there is no mention. Hmmm.

The ring game would be almost impossible to port to a video game version. You'd need full peripheral vision to play that game. (i.e. you'd have to be aware of where you were on the ring and where the ball was at the same time.)

I guess because in the ring game so much depended on the angle from the other player, up to the ceiling and then down onto your ring itself. So... so much would depend on being able to watch the ball as it descends and being aware of what rings were gone on your own platform.

I just am not sure how that could be applied without 100% peripheral vision....

Know what I'm getting at? I'd be interested in seeing anything anyone game up with and gladly eat my words
