Domipheus' feedback from a few games


(Domipheus) #1

I know it’s an alpha and you probably have some of these in progress already but i’ll say them anyway!

UI:

[ul]
[li]The next spawn/respawn now thing is confusing in the lobby; just make it ‘set class’ and deduce whether that is now, or next, and have a respawn button elsewhere.[/li][li]The objective icons could be a different colour depending what type of objective it is.[/li][/ul]


Gameplay:

[ul]
[li]Rate of fire needs reduced considerably.[/li][li]Spread should recover quicker when you manually burst-fire auto weapons[/li][li]An RPG/Rocket launcher is required to add a non-static heavy to counter sentry turrets,vehicles.[/li][li]Class/weapon team limits (mainly for RPG ).[/li][li]Grenades need more effect against the vehicles.[/li][li]Command Posts should make a comeback, I loved them. I’m talking W:ET style ones. Increased decharge time, etc. [/li][li]Increase respawn time, and balance it with a respawn time drop with command posts.[/li][li]Ammo/Health crates need more distinction.[/li][li]Sentry turrets placed on grass should flatten the grass, or have an outline, or something similar. It’s very hard to see them without.[/li][li]Bring back the stamina bar, and tie it in with command posts.[/li][li]Try and hack in some bunnyhopping down slopes, pretty please? :slight_smile: If so, then slow everyone else down slightly.[/li][li]Make hitsounds tinny, they need distinguishing from the ambient shots from around. and the headshot blink was so satisfying.[/li][li]I want to be able to lean, it opens up more tactical op’s as well as prolongs gunfights.[/li][/ul]

I’ll update this post as I come into more things. You may think i’ve taking too much from W:ET, but imo, W:ET nailed my ‘style’ of FPS completely.

Command posts with morse-code! w00p!


(Domipheus) #3

yes! :slight_smile: .

Domi!
Salty!

You nailed a lot of the things I was thinking about too.


(ensiform) #5

Where’s DB Fortress though? :tongue:

OT: I agree with most of these things too


(LaVaGoD) #6

How you get custom title :frowning:


(DarkangelUK) #7

Go to Dashboard at the top right then Edit Profile down the left, custom title is in there.


(LaVaGoD) #8

Thanks DarkangelUK and sorry for my ignorance.

“The game isn’t balanced for lean”

Also, hi Domi o/


(tokamak) #10

Then frigging balance it for lean. Bah.


(tangoliber) #11

I don’t like lean, personally… The guns are already pretty lethal, letting players make their hitbox tiny would make the game considerably slower/more tactical.


(Apoc) #12

I disagree with all the suggestions that are just “i like this in W:ET, put it in even if it doesnt fit with the game, because i like W:ET” ie, bunnyhopping down slopes, W:ET style command posts, sprint bar, spawn times tied with command posts.

However the majority of your suggestions i agree with, definitely RoF needs a decrease, headshots need more defined sound, spread recovery and RPG’s.

The lean thing needs some serious debate, i dont think it will go in. The problem with lean is that in high end play, lean can become pretty op. Hence why it was removed from ETQW promod. Being able to lean just a slither out and start either spraying someone down or headshot someone in the blink of an eye while only revealing the tiniest bit of player model.

SD have said they want comp to try and be as vanilla as possible, and as a result i dont think lean is viable, however much i love it.

…he was trolling on Infinity Ward.


(tokamak) #14

I feared he was quoting an SD developer. But yeah the quote seemed familiar.


(warbie) #15

Good feedback, Domipheus. Agreed on all points.

I also miss being able to bounce down slopes :slight_smile:


(Maca) #16

I agree almost entirely with Apoc. But I would like to see command posts

[/QUOTE]

My command post suggestion is a fundamental change and most definately not intended as a ‘it doesnt fit’ blah blah blah.

I have outlined the need for it in other posts. A game based on a single front line does not work. Or, it does. It’d called spamgame101.
