So for both teams,
Soldiers have 4 weapons
medics have 1
engineers have 2
field ops have 1
Covert ops is different
GDF have 3 Strogg have 2. Shouldn’t strogg also have 3?
It seems that there is no strogg counterpart to the silenced machine pistol.
Why don’t you just make a thread called “zetas random questions” instead of creating a thread for every single little query you have.
Or jump on IRC and ask away…
Primary weapons: the GDF Covert Ops can choose between the Scoped Assault Rifle and the Sniper Rifle. The Strogg Infiltrator can choose between the Accurised Lacerator and the Railgun.
Sidearms: the GDF Covert Ops gets the Silenced Pistol and the Strogg Infiltrator gets a regular Blast
They both have a Hacking Tool and a grenade that disables vehicles and deployables (EMP for the GDF, Scrambler for the Strogg).
The Covert Ops has the Third Eye Camera, the Infiltrator has the Flyer Drone.
Silenced weapons aren’t really the Strogg’ style : )
Are there any IRC’s that I don’t have to download seeing how I’m using the school’s computer right now? And I try to use quakenet it says page cannot be displayed?
I see in the demo videos where the strogg have 2 weapons (the guy cycled through the weapons selection. When he did the GDF one, he cycled through 3 weapons, one of which is a silenced smg like thing, which the strogg don’t have. I guess since strogg don’t need silenced and most of their weapons are projectile or trail like, having a silenced strogg weapon that leaves a trail isn’t really silenced.
http://www.quakewarsterritory.com/ has a java based IRC client that will automatically dump you into the SD channel.
So long as SD is answering some basic questions, I’ll fire and see if I can get a response… How does the drone work? Is it like a pilotable camera or an automatic deal? Do both (or either) infiltrators have the “steal uniform” ability?
I changed the title of this post so that questions are put here to “leech” a bit of info so you don’t have to pull your hair out thinking about it.
Another question can be “what is the soldier’s fourth weapon?” Could it be the flamethrower? Shotgun? Something unknown?
Do soldiers have 4 weapons? I only know of two, heavy mg and rocket launcher.
I think the unrevealed weapons will be flamethrower for the GDF and lightning gun for the Strogg
I also know the standard assault rifle and the lacerator is one of the soldier’s weapons.
Which classes should newcomers to the ET franchise or FPS games pick first? People shun people who pick soldier with SMG. And newbies should use smg first. Or assault rifle, or lacerator. Covert ops is a nono. Engi is too valuable so no. Field ops and medic in FF off servers is probably it.
I don’t remember seeing standard assault rifle/lacerator as a weapon soldier class can choose, I think they removed that option.
Anyways n4ps should definetly play either soldier, medic or field op. But I think the newbie help system SD had devised will be very helpful, so it wont really matter what class naps pick, they’re gonna figure out the basics pretty quick. And its not helpful just for newbies but for all those who dont want to be annoyed by them. Imo this help system is a brilliant move by SD, it helps new players to easely learn how to play without haveing to dumb the game down (seen it happen to other games before - especialy the ones ment for consoles and PC). Otherwise many would have complained that the game is only for experienced players and too hard on newcommers and this would lead to a lot less copies of QW being sold.
I understand that as a medic, if you toggle the _classhelp key, you will get a series of green arrows leading you to the closest player in need of a revive. That should help new people get into the action and being productive.
So… no satchel’s for Covert Ops anymore then? I haven’t seen any Covert blow objectives.
I’m going to miss satchels I think.
So, will the demo feature be enabled, to give you an in-game demo of how to revive someone and where to place the paddles?
Someone told me that u can have satchels and even better than that they have a camera so u can see when people are near them to detonate em. At least im fairly certain this is real tho I may have dreamt it.
I think you can also pipe the camera feed to the internet, so that other people can watch.
I think you right. GDF have a camera that you can place anywhere you want and spy on the enemy. Strogg will have a flying camera-drone that can explode on their command. So it would be logical if GDF’s third eye camera could also explode on command, which practicly makes it a satchel charge.
