Re: Usi First Impressions-

I think it came out VERY well. I'm a ground attack whore, and it's still the same system as in DC: The A-10 is a flying "HEARMEROAR! SHOOTME" while the SU-25 is discreet and just as powerful :p

Just came back from a good round of SU-25 whoring :p You can carpet bomb outposts

Re: Usi First Impressions-

I have gone in, created local and checked it out, looks pretty cool.
Very little US servers playing this mod tho
That is a big shame.

Re: Usi First Impressions-

The tank combat is awesome! 73 Easting is one heck of a battle. It has become my favorite map as I am a ground pounder and enjoy tearing up the opposition without worrying about an A-10 shredding me up or a Hellfire up my exhaust.

Re: Usi First Impressions-

I have played USI constantly ever since i dled it when it came out, and i cant get enough!! It is amazing, no more vanilla bf2 for me either!! Once you hear that A-10 go over your head and open up with that cannon you are forever a USI fan. And the armor battles are amazing. I tryed to play vanilla after playing USI and i had to quit and go back to USI, it is just that good!

Re: Usi First Impressions-

Great first release. I think any minor issues i have with it will be taken care of easily in future updates, just like they had to do with DCOM.

Nice work fellas, ive been enjoying it.

Re: Usi First Impressions-

I dislike the infantry combat system because it deviates too much from the arcade experience (guns in POE1 and DC wasn't like this, guys). Too much recoil and too lethal, that action has become CS-ish.

However, vehicular combat is good.

Re: Usi First Impressions-

This mod is excellent. Those who made it did an outstanting job. Easting 73 is by far my favorite map as there are no air vehicles. Tank combat is what I love, and this map gives it to you. The zoon feature on the tank, plus your choice of two different ammo rounds, and smoke, give you a lot of new variables into succesful tanking. The "heat" round is great for taking out infantry at long distance.

I played for a couple of hours today with a full squad of six tanks. I was the leader, and everyone kept asking me for orders (much to my suprise). So I decided where to go, and everyone followed. Wherever we went, we would wipe the enemy off the face of the earth, it was great.

As far as the other maps go, I despise the air vehicles. I was glad that the Engineer class has an anti-air rocket. It is pretty good at taking out aircraft. I shot down a few without any real difficulty. The air is overpowered in that people don't know the engineer class can take them down. Once that is changed air maps will be more enjoyable for me.

I do feel that the Apache is overpowered a little. It is the only helicopter with the hellfire, and it takes a number of hits with AA rockets to take it out. Overall though the mod is great. It has a very real feel to it.

Your are playing USI here, not a DC or PoE copy.

Re: Usi First Impressions-

Yes the mod is excellant, I especially love flying the F-16 and downing thoses Migs and Su-25s, even got you once while you was in the Su-25 sydney (ingame name is Resjah). But then I hear you saying how there is a Su sitting on the runway so i go take it out and you kick me . Besides that I had a blast.

The only thing I don't like is that it seems the M-16s are weak, I remember when I was playing basrah and i put a bunch of rounds into this Iraqi (yes I hit him ) and he turns around and ka ka ka im dead. So i would suggest increaseing the M-16 damage a bit :)

Re: Usi First Impressions-

Hey everyone,

I just started playing it today, and I think it's pretty dang good. The only things I don't like, are that the sounds pretty much seem to be the same for every gun, and for some reason I am having trouble aiming through iron sights or any time that I'm zoomed in. The weapon seems to shoot off to the left of where I'm aiming all the time. IE; if I were to aim at an object with the iron sights then go back to the crosshairs, I'd actually be aiming down and to the left. Is this a problem with my settings, or are you all seeing this? Any input would be great!

Re: Usi First Impressions-

The mod is alright. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed after all of the hype and excitement. All they really did was add a few vehicles maps and guns. They didnt really remodel the game which is what a full-conversion mod should do. The A-10, which I was looking forward to, was modelled and skinned rather poorly. The new transport/attack helis felt a bit too light and easy to maneuver. I havent really tried the other aspects of the mod as there was only one server up and it was full and I did not feel like setting up my own server.
