Rifle grenade fault

(No1_sonuk) #1

Hey,
I just tried ET for the first time last night.

There’s something wrong with the rifle grenades.
When you fire, half of it gets left on the barrel. That whole ring, fins, and tube are supposed to be fired off as well, not just the pineapple.

Yeah, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to have it the way it is.

Besides, if ET was meant to be realistic, medics wouln’t throw out magical boxes of healing power, and engineers wouldn’t be able to repair a tank using pliers after it got hit by a dozen 500 lb bombs from a squadron of Me-109s.

(No1_sonuk) #3

Yeah, I suppose. But things like that grenade just bug me.

Like why the hell didn’t someone oil that Thompson? The rate of fire is way too low.

Again, completely un-realistic, but done deliberately to balance out the other weapons available.

This is kinda off-topic, but I think that the thompson should have better rate of fire than the MP-40 as the MP-40 has some advantages over thompson:

-More accurate on long ranges.
-More stable.

-better sound :smiley: :smiley: .

having the SMGs different would be a clusterfuck, the fact that the rifles are so fucked up is beyond belief but we’ll live, engies have rifle nades, and when sniping it’s not that big of a difference

I want a balanced game, not a reality based game, go play america’s army

I swear this whole reality fad needs to end it’s pushing me over the edge

Is that still true? I thought SD made the MP40 and Thompson identical (apart from sound), in ET, unlike in RTCW where there are differences between the two.

no1_sonuk do you still use sniper riffles only? :stuck_out_tongue: (killah from jolt’s tram lol)

(No1_sonuk) #9

On Tram, usually. I do go eng if needed though.

I’ve not played ET online yet, just messed about getting a feel for it on a local “server”.

Yeah, didn’t an SD guy post this on a thread? Basically the code is the same for both SMGs.

…and why does the Dynamite tick away like a grenade while you hold it, even though it stops ticking and needs to be set once it leaves your hand?

(Majin) #12

In single player RtCW you could set the dynamite for different times, you would hold it and it would flash the fuse time up on screen. They just left the clicking.

LOL.

This is game is realistic enough for me, I shoot they die. The end. :cool:

(No1_sonuk) #14

Try the sniper rifle, then. You shoot, you shoot, you shoot, they shoot you!

I went back to Vanilla wolf to see if it was me. Nope. 3 shots-3 kills.

(Croaker) #15

LOL.

Realistic for me also: I shoot, they shoot, I die. The end :frowning:

How many times do the poor peeps at SD have to say…

THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!! (except the sound :slight_smile:

It’s true, SD debunked the argument that one had an advantage over the other.
Even after SD posted that in the thread, people continued to say “well I’m better with the thompson…” etc…

People have it set in their minds that there are mystical differences between the weapons, other than the sound and the picture that’s drawn on the screen. You’ll never convince them otherwise. Unfortunately, you just need to accept it as reality.

Is it ultra-realistic? No! But neither is stabbing your dead buddy repeatedly with a needle full of radioactive green slime and bringing him back to life.

(SCDS_reyalP) #18

That’s not radioactive green slime, its placebo :moo:

(Emon) #19

Yes, I like the MP40 more because of the sound. Sometimes I swear I do better with it, but I know it’s identicle.

What are the differences between the M1 and the K43, other than magazine size and reload?

(SCDS_reyalP) #20

Nothing.
