This Mod Needs Work...

[RS]Malice486 · Post by **[RS]Malice486** » 2007-03-12 19:53

Many people have not even downloaded this mod and people have started have canceled the download due to these flaws. They need to be rectified for this mod to grow.

1) The respawn time needs to be MUCH lower, or changeable via the server admin.
(realism is great, but it's still just a game and the people playing are impatient)

2) Allow the option to view vehicles in different perspectives.
(realism is great, but it's still just a game)

3) The 50cal Snipe Rifle NEEDS to kill in one hit as well as causing damage to the helo's. The bullet needs to have some drop over approx. 100yds.
(to call this a REAL realism mod, this is a must)

Just these 3 flaws alone have prevented approx. 30 players from even downloading this mod. There may only be 3, but they are major.

1. No. The long spawn time is, imo, one of the most essential features, and if it's prevented people from downloading, then good, they aren't the type of people I want to see playing the mod. Lord knows we already have enough ADHD people who can't take the minute pause before a round starts on certain servers, don't need any others who can't take a 30 second respawn time.

2. Partially agree. I'd like to see the reverse cam brought back in, or something that allows you to see behind you. It's damn annoying being in an APC and having no idea whether someone is behind you grabbing a kit.

3. The 50cal sniper rifle DOES kill in one hit, afaik. I've only used it twice. As for damaging helos, "realism is great, but it's still just a game". You can already kill the pilot/gunner with the 50 cal, I don't want to see one guy lugging a 50 cal around taking down planes and helos left and right, though.

edit: lol @ duckhunt's response

1. Not going to change anytime soon, plus server admin can change it.
3. It does be sure you are hitting the person in the head or upper body
2. No.

Practicing in single player I destroyed a cobra with 3 hits to the cockpit from the M95.

I just played on some "Dev" server, I don't remember the exact name. My in game name is [RS]Malice. And I have only played it once.

As for my post, I'm just stating the truth. If these things are "Not going to change anytime soon" then all I'm saying is that at least 30 people will not be playing it. From our clan only 2 people enjoy it.

The 50cal rifle does major damage to helo's and vehicles in real life. It tears easily threw armor plating. To incorporate that into a game it would need to be toned down a little. Just a little.
Use the same coding when shooting a person. When the engine is hit = headshot, other wise it should take approx. 3 bars of health away from the cars and helo's

You don't need to have ADHD or some disease to not like waiting to play a game or get back into the game. The time is just plain idiotic.

This mod has potential, and could be a perfect game.

The time is to discourage people from going Rambo and getting killed all the time, promoting more teamwork.

As it stands I'd say there are TOO MANY people playing it just now, what with all the recent publicity so many morons turn up and play.

3. You obviously do not know what the hell you are talking about. There are 91 meters in 100 yards. The maximum range for the .50 cal sniper is 2500 meters. So unless you want to aim in the f*cking sky to shoot someone, then please go ahead, make your own damn mod, and make it yourself.

2. Agreed, but only a reverse cam.

1. NO! It will teach people to be more cautious of thier lives so that people arent just running around and abandoning teamwork. So if you dont like teamwork, and you dont like realism, LEAVE!!!

HAS POTENTIAL?!?!?!

This is a very successful mod that has won awards, far from being "has potential".

And as for those 30 people, i dont think a single person in this community gives a flying f*ck about those people. If they cant f*ucking handle it, then too f*cking bad.

EDIT: If you dont know what the hell your talking about, then dont talk at all.

If you have only played this mod once how in the hell can you possibly even feel qualified to give an opinion???

As for you stating the truth, what a load of BS. So what if you and your can't take a 30 sec wait to respawn buddies aren't going to play? Fine by me. It's bad enough with the influx of noobs and smacktards since the release of .4 and .5, we don't need anymore of the =CDU= short repsawn type servers than we have now. The respawn times have a reason, not to get killed by going rambo all the time and so that a flag can actually be capped without the defenders spawning back and killing the attackers 15 seconds after they are killed. Not to mention it gives a medic that much time to get to you and revive you.

And if you want the .50 sniper rifles to take out helicopters in one shot you are crazy. What happens when a hmmvw pulls up with a M2 and starts shooting?? The helicopters will be falling out of the sky like flies.

This mod is great, it's players with lame rambo tactics and gameplay that make it suck. The rules and setup of this mod encourage a slower and more tactical approach to the game rather than run headlong into a fire fight and get killed then respawn and repeat ala Strike at Karkand.

If you dont like the mod, then dont play it. Respawn time and a First Person View are what set this mod apart from other more ARCADE style gameplay. It makes the game more REALISTIC. The focus of Project Reality is to incorperate many realistic aspects without sacrificing too much gameplay.

'[RS wrote:Malice486']Just these 3 flaws alone have prevented approx. 30 players from even downloading this mod. There may only be 3, but they are major.

I doubt waiting 15 seconds more to respawn has really made that much of an impact, if so then its not like we really need people who hate the mod to play it.

QFT. A 7.62mm will drop approximately 17ft at 1000yds hitting point of aim at approx 300yds. What the OP is suggesting is insane. These aren't subsonic .380's we're talking about ffs.

Play the mod more than once before you climb up on the pulpit. The best advice I can give you.

I can't help but laugh at "[3rd]Sonders". I am talking from a mans view who has shot a 50cal in real life and then comparing it to in-game play. Any one who has not shot any firearms in real life can't sit and make any kind of guess as to what it fires like. So you are the one who "obviously do not know what the hell you are talking about".

"to be more cautious of their lives". That’s a good point I agree, but there has to be a better way of doing that.

"make your own damn mod, and make it yourself."
Ignoring the fact that you need anger control of some kind, I reply with:

I have, and it was tedious work. I have also made mods for other games. We have a small group in our clan that mods games, my main things are skins/textures, models and sounds.

Actually Sparky, seeing as he's a serving member of our Forces I'd tend to go with his point of view over your "armchair commander" any day. As for "mans view", I've fired a .50 in anger, care to claim the same? For that matter, ever tried landing a round over 2000 metres? I sure as hell have (successfully). We can compare range cards any day of the week sunshine.
