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

[Grimmy_EFG]

I’m interested to see how the Doom3 engine will work out for games like RTCW2… The engine at it is doesn’t seem to have the best netcode (i.e. 8players or more doesn’t work to well on the average internet connection) and we have yet to see how the engine will cope with large open (i.e. outdoor) areas. Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter?

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.

Oh, yes, I see, Medics should only play a supporting role, probably always behind you so that you can go on a rambo trip, maybe give them no weapon at all so that they don’t even think about doing something else than guarding your ass ? And you should be able to give them orders and they have to always respond with " Yes master! My only desire is to serve and protect you!"

Oh, that class will be the most popular class ever!

[boomart]

medic is by definition a supporting role, you should know it as you apparently play this class quite often not to say always. The rest of you reply is just worth no interest because you are pissed and thus is exagerated.
Please dont try to tell me how to play it. I used to be medic regularly on RTCW, and on ET pretty much (but i find interest in playing various classes), and do really good but… hey ! who couldnt ? taking a few hits, find a cover, selfheal a few counting on selfregen during gunfights and so on, thats why i say its an overpowered class. Especially as an axis, b/c mp40’s precision is higher than thompson’s…
the fact is you begin with medic class and on one round you get lvl3 light weapon and almost lvl4 battle sense. Way too easy.
To get me wrong, i love medic class but it doesnt keep me from having this opinion.

FYI, the MP40 and Thompson are identical in damage, spread (precision), and rate-of-fire in ET.

Why do people always focuss on the medics self healing abilities, sure, this allows a medic to usually survive a little longer than other classes, but the medic is the worst long-range class. Soldiers have PF and MG-42, FldOps Arty and AirStrike, Engineers RifleNade and CovOps the sniper rifles. The Medis has only his SMG. Also, if a Medic does his job he usually loses lots of HP just to cover the ground to a fallen comrade, because were dead people are, danger is usually nearby And there is nothing more helpless than a Medic with his needle out (well, maybe a Medic out of ammo or an engineer with his pliers… but thats beside the point )

So, the medic has the best survival abilities, but also the worst damage dealing or long range abilities. Thats only fair in my opinion.

don’t forget you benefit the 3secs protection of a revived teammate.
Rain i have to disagree on this point. i didnt get too technical on this, but im pretty damn sure that mp40 has a faster fire rate with higher precision and does less damage than a thompson whose fire rate is slightly slower but does more damage. Talking about precision, i always get much precise shots from a mp40… but then again i didnt look at the tech files. Th and Mp40 dont have the same ammo clips, in mm.
edit//
ok got some info. thompson fire rate is 700rpm and mp40 500rpm. right, ok :bash: .
but check this :

a thompson is .45ACP for lower for a range of 50 Meters and MP40 is 9*19mm for a range of 100Meters. i assume 9 is diameter and 19mm is length. thats for historical facts.

[EvilBaga]

Weapons…are…the…same…for…both…sides…in …ET…please…test…before…you…post…

And heres a banana for Bongoboy…

[Chappy]

…but then again i didnt look at the tech files.

Maybe look at the tech files (by that I mean source code)? It’ll show you they’re exactly the same in every aspect except for the way they look and sound.

Which, even if true, have absolutely nothing to do with a video game. In reality, it is not that simple. I certainly wouldn’t stand 51 meters away from someone shooting a .45 and assume that I was safe. :moo:

In ET, the thompson and MP40 are 100% the same except for the skin and sound. Rain works with the code enough to know this is a fact, as do I. If you wish to dispute this, please point out where they differ. :moo: In RTCW, they do differ, with the thompson being slower, higher spread and more damage.

[CrazyGuy]

Get rid of the XP and bring back the Points System for Leveling.
I see and caughed too much of XP Whoring!!!

neither do i, though it loses precision which was my point. anyway, how many run under FFE 'feelling safe" ?

In RTCW, they do differ, with the thompson being slower, higher spread and more damage.

ah ! so it has changed since. so much for me then. i take notice.
And please relax. my first aim was to post ideas on what i d like to see in rtcw2, then spoke my opinion about actual medic situation and what could/should be improved, it turned out bad… whatever. Post you ideas then.
