RTCW2:because you will never get something if you don't ask

(CHEST.ROCKWELL) #1

well i figure if you are going to make it, I might as well make suggestions:

if bringing back the covert ops class:

  1. make sniping worthwhile again. 1 headshot kills.
  2. weaken the sten but get rid of overheating, or at least make it so you can get off half a clip before it does overheat.
  3. make it so server ops can restrict player classes as well as weapons - thinking of ND80 himself on this one.
  4. make the smoke have a moderately larger radius.
  5. lvl 4 CO is worthless, IMO, how about making that the 1 headshot kill.

general:

  1. bring back the original values for mp40 and thompson.
  2. another tram map
  3. another destruction style map. in fact i’d love to see cp games again.
  4. don’t try to fux with the nade physics again
  5. bring back the original ET german voice. hearing him say panzerfaust still makes me smile
  6. although doom3 didn’t have the object interaction level that HL2 has, i’d like to see a more interactive enviroment, at least to the extent that the engine can supply.
  7. for some reason saving favorite servers only worked like 1 in 5 times for ET. might just be my comp but its very annoying.
  8. player pushing should be standard not be added thru a mod.
  9. im a stat whore, I would like to have the game save stats to my machine and be able to see stats for my entire existance under a particular name not just for that round or have to goto a website to check them.
  10. i miss the venom but can understand why it was removed in ET. would like to see it in singleplayer though
  11. if you can’t figure out a good way to nerf the meds, consider making the panzer damage area larger again. that will help more than you think.
  12. playdead, just make sure you can’t exploit it

#13 and most important. do not let this become BF1942. keep it a ground troop battle and not have an insane ammount of free space to run. thats why tram was so great, it was a large map but there wasn’t really any roaming room. keeping everybody in the action.

I’ll add more when i think of some

we gonna get so many of these still gonna post though :smiley:

  1. if you can’t figure out a good way to nerf the meds, consider making the panzer damage area larger again. that will help more than you think.

lol that is a really bad idea the panzer is already easy enough to use if u want to get a lot of kills making it any bigger will just make it so easy to completely own everybody. atm i get about 50/60 kills on fd, with a larger damage area all those near misses i got before would die too raising it to 70/80 kills a game which is way too many.

  1. lvl 4 CO is worthless, IMO, how about making that the 1 headshot kill

True lvl 4 is worthless…but headshot kill is way too powerful. I suggest a increased snipr damage. Body damage 63 (allowing 2 shot kills for any non med not atincreased battle sense health) and headshot damage 126 (same deal)

Er…ok ive drifted into fantasy land again :moo:

  1. although doom3 didn’t have the object interaction level that HL2 has

Eh?

(Fusen) #5

I think hes trying to say that in HL2 you’re supposed to be able to interactive with the map like shoot at stuff and it actually does something to the map instead of just making marks on a model , which doom3 doesn’t have… although I dunno if hl2 has that / thats what he means

(senator) #6

Don’t, no camper game please, all a 1-shot-kill weapon does is attracting campers

  1. weaken the sten but get rid of overheating, or at least make it so you can get off half a clip before it does overheat.

The Sten is fine, it does get off half a clip before overheating and it’s noticable more accurate than the other SMGs

  1. make it so server ops can restrict player classes as well as weapons - thinking of ND80 himself on this one.

Restricting weapons is OK to avouid a Panzerfaust heavy game but please don’t restrict the available classes. I am as pissed of a team with 3 camping sniping CovOps as everybody but that’s life or does anybody think that these players all of a sudden become good teamplayers if they are forced to play medic?

  1. make the smoke have a moderately larger radius.
    Smoke is fine the way it is IMHO
  1. lvl 4 CO is worthless, IMO, how about making that the 1 headshot kill.

Again, no camper features please :slight_smile: A better Lv4 solution would be the possibility to carry the weapon of your victim as a dummy to make it much harder to be identified, but you shouldn’t be able to fire that weapon.

  1. bring back the original values for mp40 and thompson.

No, what is wrong with both teams having the same weapon code, historical or not? I think ETPros change of the US rifle was really good to help balance both teams.

  1. if you can’t figure out a good way to nerf the meds, consider making the panzer damage area larger again. that will help more than you think.

Why does everybody want’s to nerf the poor poor medic? The Medic alone isn’t that strong, a group with a good medic in support is strong! Leave us medics alone please :moo:

#13 and most important. do not let this become BF1942. keep it a ground troop battle and not have an insane ammount of free space to run. thats why tram was so great, it was a large map but there wasn’t really any roaming room. keeping everybody in the action.

Agreed, and please no human controllable vehicles, the automatic moving stuff is great and nothing else is needed :slight_smile:

  1. another tram map

TRAM was hella fun! Not a great competition map but MAN was that a fun pub map.

  1. another destruction style map. in fact i’d love to see cp games again.

OMGBBQHAX Trench Toast! So many fun games on that map as well.

(Bongoboy) #8

Hey there Buttercup! Nice to see you back in here, spurs a-jingling : )

(SCDS_reyalP) #9

Eh ? What makes you think doom3 doesn’t have that ? You sure you aren’t thinking of Doom I ?

My request… Do something new and exciting!

(bacon) #10

I know! We can put BJ on mars and some fooked up scientists can open a portal to hell and unleash all these scary monsters and BJ must kill them all…wait…that sounds a little familiar…damn.

(Buttercup) #11

Hi Bongoboy, I hope you aren’t picking on us “blokes” from Texas :slight_smile: I didn’t want to bring accents into this… :skull:

ok, best idea EVER: innocent woodland creatures you can kill. :eek3:

bringing back the covert ops class:

  1. make sniping worthwhile again. 1 headshot kills.
    // oooooh no, dont. 5cov ops team ? noway.
  2. weaken the sten but get rid of overheating, or at least make it so you can get off half a clip before it does overheat.
    //you can actually get off half the clip. though i bit more would be fair.
  3. make it so server ops can restrict player classes as well as weapons - thinking of ND80 himself on this one.
    // why not, check #1
  4. make the smoke have a moderately larger radius.
    //whatever imo
  5. lvl 4 CO is worthless, IMO, how about making that the 1 headshot kill.
    //fake death sounds better check below , #12

general:

  1. bring back the original values for mp40 and thompson.
    // which are ?
  2. another tram map
    // oh man, yes ! please do.
  3. another destruction style map. in fact i’d love to see cp games again.
    //someone spoke about trenchtoast… yuck ! no thanks
  4. don’t try to fux with the nade physics again
    //huh ? how about some real physics, lets say for panzers for ex.
  5. bring back the original ET german voice. hearing him say panzerfaust still makes me smile
    //why not
  6. although doom3 didn’t have the object interaction level that HL2 has, i’d like to see a more interactive enviroment, at least to the extent that the engine can supply.
    // i think it wouldnt be so bad. I dream of destructible walls without having the destructible icon showing up, same for crates and such. like IRL.
  7. for some reason saving favorite servers only worked like 1 in 5 times for ET. might just be my comp but its very annoying.
    // true. most of times i have to save em back. In fact the whole “play internet” interface and system is to be reviewed. How about some channels, quick action and a search system ? ASE is one more thingy to dl and to register :confused: comparing to blizzard community, ET one is poor. Add some more userfriendly features.
  8. player pushing should be standard not be added thru a mod.
    //hmm, lately i get so pissed being pushed again and again for shit. you know, on GR map, after spawn… grrrrrr
  9. im a stat whore, I would like to have the game save stats to my machine and be able to see stats for my entire existance under a particular name not just for that round or have to goto a website to check them.
    //agreed. check #7
  10. i miss the venom but can understand why it was removed in ET. would like to see it in singleplayer though
    o_O ; why not tho.
  11. if you can’t figure out a good way to nerf the meds, consider making the panzer damage area larger again. that will help more than you think.
    // we can argue on this.
  12. playdead, just make sure you can’t exploit it
    //ahah a nice lvl4 cov ops. tho using a fake mp40/thompson sounds good too.

#13 and most important. do not let this become BF1942. keep it a ground troop battle and not have an insane ammount of free space to run. thats why tram was so great, it was a large map but there wasn’t really any roaming room. keeping everybody in the action.
//many things in BF1942 arent so bad. the use of vehicule for instance. but does it have objectives and campaigns like ET ?

//---------- my 2 cents :

  1. physics : dead corpses flying flat in the air sux. but i do hope it ll change with doom3 anyway.
  2. soldiers using flamers should have a fireproof suit. souds obvious to me. If not fully fireproof, at least 80-90%.
  3. most players think they 're leet, whereas they’re only using the medic class, for a well known reason. they suck when using another. they all start with medic just to get light weapons and battle sense faster than any other, without teamworking, this is annoying. i know what im talking about and this must change. maybe get a penalty for not reviving a dead teammate next to them or healing squad. i hate nerfing, but maybe focusing on the teamwork play and penalty would help/solve the problem. in fact, being a medic in rtcw was more rewarding, showing real skills imo.
  4. closecombat with weapon’s stick (? is it ?), knock down foes like in MoH.
  5. no more trickjumps. who can do this irl anyway ?? is this quake ?
    //edit 1:
  6. gaining more XPs from higher ranked foes you kill
    7…
(Oxygen - o2) #14

leave medics alone

i think there should be more levels, up to level 5

covert opp level 5 has the ability to use the victims wepon, is a good idea, i think that all of the victims special weapons should be took too, like health packs and syringes you can use on both teams, to add to the ilusion, but only on level 5, they would all be in weapon bank 7

that would maybe make the cvops too powerful? any work they did

level 4 is for cvop in disquise can hear enemy vsays

(CHEST.ROCKWELL) #15

i must say I couldn’t disagree more with you. I’ll refer you to something i remember reading from the RTCW manual(I believe):

for the orginal wolfenstein,(pre Doom one) ID planned on having it so you could steal uniforms and intricate stuff like that but ultimatly dropped those idea because they felt it made the game less fun.(the way i intrepreted it)

they were right back then and I would love to see the CO class eliminated and just give sniping back to soldiers. I just don’t want to see this game get anymore diverse because it will start taking away from the action drastically.

I do like the idea of a leveling system. splash damage did a great job of implementing it but there is alot of room for improvment. IE:

Making the experience needed to advance levels MUCH greater.
Don’t let the highest level take away from other classes basic skills: FO-easily spotting COs, Battle Sense-spoting eng mines- takes away from CO class too, Soldiers at lvl4 lose out on light weapons lvl 4 benefits
less damage reduction % from adrenaline
many others too but giving suggestions for an already completed game(ET) is rather pointless.

but im sure you guys are already thinking of ways of improving the system(I’m still assuming you are developing the MP version)

(Depth_Charge) #16

Battle Sense-spoting eng mines-

You can’t do that in etmain

(Chappy) #17
(Depth_Charge) #18

Oh I thought he meant like Binoc spot them like shrub enables :banghead:

(boomart) #19

i won’t leave medic alone. one ammo clip ?, come on, you get ammo easily from Field ops, ammo cabs, or weapons on the ground. none ? so what ?, stand back and do your medic job instead of rushing like a rambo.

(S.P.G) #20

Ok

Also add the mining finding labrador class, it could wander round at knee level and find all those mines a covert should do but cant be arsed with it. Give it level 3 fang attack that prevent the player from moving forwards and backwards and a final jump hello attack that ends up with his paw in your goolies again doing the same thing. If it comes across a enemy dog then all stops and sniffing takes place etc etc.

p.s

Jeff Minter would do it, get him on your books.
