Are you dissapointed at all?

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

i think most of you are getting the wrong idea here i think the op is more interested in your opinions on concious decisions made by the devs as opposed to glitches/bugs etc

and imo they have hit the nail on the head

but as shurikane stated teh community is R-tarded but hey, if there were no n00bs then there would be no one for us all to slaughter

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

I honestly don't know that it's a bug/glitch.

When there is SUCH a big difference between the vulnerability of one gunship and another, and it persists through so many updates, you have to wonder whether the devs actually decided that it's somehow a desirable game feature...

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

well it's better than it used to be i remember the days where if the talon was flying full speed you physically couldn't hit it with rockets, there must be some underlying issue as to why it doesn't work i think it's that the doragan tail pokes out the shield and it would be hard to change the size of the shield or something ...

but we digress again lol ... such is tbf2142 might as well be ot lol

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

scope glitches
view glitches
hit reg
inconsistent hit reg/ shooting mechanics
collision detection / getting stuck on stuff

jumping on / over certain objects/ platforming/ getting sucked down to the ground

people getting stuck inside the environment and are unable to be revived via defib

This

Against bots the engine seems to work pretty flawlessly, everything is perfectly smooth, you can time animations perfectly and get movement down to millimeter precision. The second you go online, something is gonna bug out sooner or later, whether it's getting stuck in zoomed view, the reload takes a second longer or you keep sliding off the same damn spot the whole time, it gets tiresome.

I love the core gameplay and setting of 2142, but after playing other games on much better engines for a long time (source, CE2, iD tech 3 just to mention a few), I'm not coming back

BC2 looks promising, will see how that turn out

On the contrary, I'd rather get challenged and have to work for my score than have it given to me on a silver platter. The best fights I've ever had were those where I had to actually think twice about my tactic and really plan ahead for anything at all - unlike when fighting against a n00b team in which you know they'll run into the mines you place on the same spot again and again and again. I always laugh when people pod right next to me in an attempt to kill me quickly only to realize that I've seen them coming a long time ago and am waiting for them with a fully loaded assault rifle.

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

You really want to start the day playing against good people, then as you get tired later on, you want to find a server full of noobs, so you can run around knifing like "stab stab stab, noob noob noob...". :)

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

i do think its smart to play against lots of regular players on large population servers because its good shooting practice

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

Well shoot, I've been playing this since it came out (except for a one-year hiatus due to RL stuff) and I still find myself coming back for more, just like I did with the original 1942/DC. For me it's the community. I have been a part of several clans and played with many of the same ppl regularly, and that's the big draw for me. It's too much fun to talk smack at your friends when you're on opposing sides, and revel in excellent teamwork when the game goes your way. I would not be playing this same game, three years hence, were it not for the ppl I have met and continue to meet online.

That said, I absolutely abhor the hit detection, especially with knives and APMs. I have been tripping over those got-damned things since day one. For the first year or so I would froth at the mouth and surely drive everyone on VOIP/Vent/TS crazy, but lately I've sort of become resolved to my fate and merely shrug off each blast with a "Meh. Cleared that one out for you all."

And with the knives... It dawned on me recently that this game would be great for LAN play since everyone's ping would be the same. Here I am, 9 years after playing against those damned lucky HPBs in Quake2/3 with my then slow, triple digit ping, actually lamenting now about having a single-digit ping on some servers. Why? Because of that much maligned "net code". There is no WAY someone with a higher ping should have the advantage, right? Well, I stand before you in mute, eviscerated evidence to the contrary. Damn you, knife ping. Damn you to hell.

Other than that, all's peachy. Oh, except for the hundred and one other common gripes about this game that you simply learn to live with. Even Alt-tabbing.

Cheers~

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

hehe i remember pre 1.4 apm's ... oh my lord those things would be placed at eu base and still take out people attacking harbour... still not as annoying as bf2 claymores... lawdy lawd i F*cking hate claymores...

[WolfAlmighty]

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

Claymores were fine until they got the bright idea to allow them to be FF-off. Whoever at DICE thought making BF2's claymores FF-off without allowing the option to bypass or remove them (aside from the engineer's wrench ) must have had his head in his nether regions. Clays made a mockery of many of the SF maps.

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

more vehicles would have been nice but other then that this game was very good and i agree i hate the voss the scar is soooooo much better

[imported_Harlequin]

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

I'm pretty satisfied, despite the glitches, etc. The main thing I'd really like is more maps. I love a large selection of maps, and for me there could never be too many. On the other hand, it would be nice if more servers used all the ones we already have, rather than constant Camp Gibraltar!

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

^ this

because for most cod cs wannabes we already have campG, cerbere, tunis, belgrade, verdun, berlin and even sidi power plant 5v5.

then there are 2 of the Northern Strike maps liberation and Bavaria that are both great infantry maps

cod4 has maybe twice that many maps that i listed but still that is alot of maps and lots of them arent played enough.

then also you can run the small versions of most of these maps and people would probably enjoy them more.

personally with CampG i think the 5v5 version is superior even because there isnt the harbor to toll annoyance and then if you look at it the uncap in this version provides alot more cover and protection so people wouldnt quit as much because they are getting base raped.

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

One of my major dissapointement would be that guns dont eject any shells. A small detail that could make the game alot more realistic, Like i would love to see a walker/LMG spitting hundred or shells.

Annimated blood (like back in goldeneye 64) If you get shoot and revived you still could see patches of blood until you get killed and respawn. Few more moddels of tanks or FAV's

More sidi and shuia tiaba (48players) conquest maps!

Re: Are you dissapointed at all?

blood in a game gets an instant 18 rating i would imagine they were tying to get the 16 +
