ET- THE NEXT PATCH...worth the load.

I was not talking about the RTCW players, I was talking about people in general.

The RTCW players did not enjoy ET (well actually many of them did, including me), because it’s a whole different game than RtCW. ET has larger maps, different game play and some other minor adjustments that they hated, so they stayed with their beloved RtCW and not Dessert Combat like you said or how was it?

You say that realistic games are very played. You’re correct, but that doesn’t mean that all games should be realistic. There are so many games that aim to be realistic, Call of Duty, which you meantioned, for example. Another fact is that there are also a lot of players who don’t enjoy realism rather than game play. Those are the people who play ET and RtCW.

I don’t really understand how realism makes a game more challenging, could you describe that a bit more?

(-WidoW-) #23

Fusen it’s comon sense. Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 are anticipated So Badly because of their realism. The SMALL DETAILS COUNT.

Hmm… are the small fries the only ones up this early?

No Kotkis that minority who still play RTCW up to now are afraid to move on and play anything else. They either just bearly started or are hardheaded or even got no $ like me.

Ok, I’ll join the barbecue, this is hilarious…

first, serious reply:

Realism [u]would[/i] harm ET and this is why. Realsitic atacks mean that people get killed quickly by one or two shots all the time. With the respawn times of around 30 seconds most people will spend 2/3 of the map in limbo - gee what fun! Reduce the spawn timers? Oh look, the maps have just lost all balancing because the Axis now spawn every 5 seconds right near the objective.

Face it, ET underwent a LOT of balancing to get it just right. ~You would be throwing away everything they have worked to create just so you can clone all those other mods like DoD and Desert Combat. ET is different, it stands out form the crowd. Sure, a lot of the sheep complain that it’s not like all there other games, but that’s what makes it great.

Flame reply:

You are a troll. Everytime someone disagrees with you, you call them a n00b or a small time lamer. This does nothing but convince everyone else that you are the lamer. Difference of opinion is good and is the way forward. Everyone going “yeah man, great post, we should totally go along with that because you are the man!” is bollocks and the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the games industry today.

Good day. Hope you enjoy the barbecue.

OK, that was slightly unfair of me. But if you’re making suggestions, Widow, you can’t expect everyone to agree with you. And insulting those who don’t isn’t going to make you look big to anyone.

I think that the majority of players are interested in gameplay above and beyond realism. Some of your suggestions are harmless gameplay-wise (like giving Allies a bazooka instead of a panzerfaust), so I’d be quite happy to see them implemented - but I’m also quite happy without them. The one suggestion that appeals to me is the poison or tear gas - I can think of interesting tactical uses for it. But I’d have to play with it for a while to be convinced that it helped the game more than it hindered it.

(-WidoW-) #26

Heh your forgetting the fact that accuracy evens things out a bit. having nastly recoil can more than do the job.

BTW damocles are you the Forum Tough Guy? The so to speak Cave Troll Himself? Ah Yes I saw you in the LOTR movie, your the one who died.

Anyway my suggestions are in order from 1 to 10 10 to 1.

10 to 1 The less troubling to the most. If they at least made it from 10 to 3 I would be pleased and millions of other people would be pleased. But to 1 would be to me to have the grand prize.

(kotkis) #27

Umm, where did you get that from? You asked every one of them? All the RtCW players that I know have said that nothing but RtCW2 would stop them playing their game.

(-WidoW-) #28

Jesus small fry. I remember that at a point there were like 6000 wolf players per day. Now it’s 1600 for both RTCW and ET. It’s obvious cause I remember the same old players from Jan. 2002 Konjin and many other servers.

Also…Why did they add the MG42 have rapid fire and unstable realistic accuracy to ET? Instead of the old and slow no recoiling effect mg42 from RTCW?

Seems to me like ET was more unfinished than anything. They even added recoil to the pistols…

(kotkis) #29

It’s all normal that games lose their audience during the time. And besides, ET has almost 10000 players playing at the very moment…

I do love out of nowhere made up stats. I wish I could find the link, but someone posted on here a few weeks ago with the link to the gamespy player stats, and ET was second only to all the half life games/mods combined for number of players.

Need I say more?

I must admit, the forums have been a bit quiet since the other trolls got bored and found other forums to annoy. At least your irreverant ramblings provide some variety to the proceedings

(-WidoW-) #31

That’s too far of an estimate. At this moment it has almost 5000.

Hmm… Democles 30 minutes and that’s all you scrounge up.

I have to do what I have to do with small fries who are afraid of a LITTLE Change.

Per Day There are about 6000 ETers

and 1800 Wolfers.

(Sick Boy) #32

Then go play CoD. I didn’t like the sounds of the guns neither in the beginning but you get used to it. How long have you been playing ET btw?

I know many ppl complain now that it’s too easy to kill. Comon in real life 1 bullet can leave us bleeding to death.

You think one bullet kills will make it harder to kill somebody :???:
A little explanation perhaps?
Or do you want to make this a camp game where the moving guy gets killed?

  1. A realistic middle sights zoom in like in Call of Duty will be F*cking sweet on ET specially for the smgs. Considering this will make ET King and make the gameplay much more interesting. More than the classic boring weapon in corner.

How does it make the gameplay more interesting? And if you get tired of ‘the classic boring weapon in the corner’ use cg_drawgun 0.

  1. A Rocket Launcher for the Americans that is american… If the recent version of ET does not allow thompson for Field Ops or Soldiers or any american weapons. Then why give the Americans the MG42 and Panzerfaust?

Give them the Bazooka they deserve

Allies (or ‘Americans’, as you call them, and then you come here and call people noobs) have stolen a truckfull of panzerfausts. :smiley:

  1. More Weapon selection- Yeah theres a bunch of new weapons. But it gets pretty boring.

There are a lot of fps with far less weapons then ET (RTCW for example, I didn’t hear anyone complain there). And you can forget about SD adding more guns cause it would require lots of rebalancing work.

  1. Ability to kick and or pick up thrown grenades to kick or throw back.

Finally, a decent proposition. Maybe bani or shrub could include it in a mod. Not that it matters much, any half decently thrown grenade should explode at the time you would kick it/pick it up. But it would be fun to see newbies trying to kick your grenade away :smiley:

  1. Instead of the soldier dissappearing into fat air when he gets blown up a Brutally killed dead soldier appears.

This is a bug I believe, the gibbing graphics are much less gory then they should be.

  1. More Death Animations- it gets pretty boring killing a guy and having him fall stiff like a stick in an instant. It would be neat to kill somone and have him feel the pain and agony of death.

OMG? You think other people experience ‘the pain and agony’ of a death animation? Besides, they are not really dead, they are ‘wounded and waiting for a medic’. :slight_smile:

  1. Recoil- Actually have recoil on smgs rather than having them stiff and all. Not even Schwarzenegger can hold a gun without having it bounce all over the place.

Yeah, this would be cool in a realistic game, but it would totally fuck up ET gunfights.

  1. The use of Poison or Tear Gas for Cov.Ops. Comon…you can imagine.

Good idea, but not for a patch. This is funmod stuff.

Bah! Seems like that only small fries visit these forums. Who else would have time to visit here? I gotta call up some of my buddies to pay a visit. I gotta call the pros Some grown ups.

The way you accentuate the fact that your ‘pro buddies’ are grown ups and you call other people minors and your general behaviour in this thread, just tells me you’re a minor yourself. Without buddies.

And now plz go to the desert combat forum and ask them to change their game into what you want. You’ll get the same kind of reactions as here though.

(kotkis) #33

The site that damocles is looking for is www.gamespy.com/stats. However I’d like to know where do they get their stats from, because my All Seeing Eye shows that ET has 9500 players world wide at the very moment. I’m also fed up with -WidoW- who isn’t capable of reasonable talking. I’m glad that I know that most likely none of his suggestions will see the daylight with ET.

(-WidoW-) #34

Your right I got no buddies. Im just an insane artist with lots of time to make ideas. And Kot yeah its 9500 now cuz its like past noon over there in Europe and past 8 beyond the Pacific.

SBoy

I’ve been playing it since the demo. Ive been fascinated but a bit mad that SD had to finish this up fast before everyone left.

I desire more recoil at least and a touch of fast rate of fire.

Having th e gun in the middle like in CoD will make it interesting in the fact that now your vision is centered on your target and it seems that you are aiming at something more realisticly. Im talking about walking around with a thompson in the corner then you see someone you right click to bring sights up and open fire!!! PRRFffff!!

As for the Americans’ BAzzooka Dont get smart with me sunshine you know damn well theyre americans cuz they sound like em. Join the rest.

Well the weapons I suggest balanced each other out.

the “ALLIES” Bazooka balances itself naturaly.

The Bar is a weapon that you get for allies after achieving a certain rank. And for the Axis The Mp44 is the one you are able to get after achieveing a certain rank. And for the Axis fun A Mauser Automatic Pistol for achieving 4th rank of light weapons Either the Mauser Pistol or double lugers or one.

Dont get smart heretoo. Just show that the avatar soldier feels pain.

Recoil totally fuck up gun fights?? Hell nah! More interesting and more challenging.

(Sauron|EFG) #35

ROFL! HL2 and D3 realistic? I sure don’t want to go to LA if that’s what it’s like, with monsters and BFGs.

Don’t confuse pretty graphics with gameplay!

As for your requests, it doesn’t matter who’s right (we) and wrong (you), since it’s not going to happen anyway. It is possible that the modders will implement options for some of the smaller things (like rate of fire), so those are the ones you need to convince. I’m not sure they would appreciate input in this form though. :disgust:

(SwordOfDamocles) #36

OMFG OMFG OMFG

Feel wronged just reading this thread.

WidoW, You should consider that insulting people is not the best way to discuss a topic in a community-spirited forum.

(Salteh) #37

n00bs? looking into the mirror meh friend? :slight_smile:

Firs you ask people for their opinion, and when they reply you start acting all silly. So basicly… if people disagree with you, they are ignorant n00bs?
:bash: :bash: :bash:

I voted for the “This poll is silly and I disagree with over half of this silly stuff”

:roll: can’t really feel insulted by you tho :slight_smile: it’s kinda funny :smiley: :banana: :drink: :clap: :moo:

(-WidoW-) #38

Yeah I know sword. Im not being serious when I insult. Like when I play with fellow wolfers I mess around. Of course your not feeling unsulted. I dont mean it. It’s just harmless fun.

And if I am making myself look bad. Then I have myself to blame then don’t I?

Don’t you think I would have thought before insulting people on SPLASH DAMAGE’s FORUM? They Made ET For Christ’s sake.

Please don’t take those insults seriously. I just like to get some drama going on. And I got to thank you guys. I couldn’t sleep because of a migrane. The headache went away with all this. :bash:

Now I can sleep… :zzz:
