A very pleasant surprise. It's like a good Counter Strike. I just wish leaning was a bit faster/smoother á la CoD. Camping is rewarded a bit too much currently.

I wish it was even harder to learn!  :D

Cant wait until I'm pro at this, actually I'm getting some lucky killing streak here and there but as you say, camping is largely rewarded - WHEN you dont know the map and dont focus enough (thats me).



Also it may be bad luck but I've been gunned down so quickly even with heavy armor, while having the "initiative" to run down a door gun blazing to my opponents. I dont know if its lag or its just because I always get the first bullet in my brain, but in most FPS I always tried for a aggressive playstyle of hip spraying accurately while moving/crouching as fast as possible, and atm its just not working too well in 90% of the situations (even if the opponents was unaware of my presence but just had very good reflex).

I love the gun shake/orientation on the screen when you arent in iron sight mode, I cant wait till I master it. Also began to tinker with the mouse sensibility and toggle/hold manoeuvers to see whats best.


One last interesting thing I noticed : the lightning effects.


Most times I've been completely powned is because I was in a bad spot, where my opponent could see me clearly and I couldnt due to the fact my screen was saturated with light.
Been in a situation or two where I had the same problem, but it was because the guy in front put a laser/flashlight to my face and couldnt see a fucking thing  :lol:  there is a ton of interesting gameplay like that...

Also, even though I love being the heavy support machinegunning my way to town, everytime you shoot with that kind of weaponry, your screen is completely saturated by lightning effects from bullets fired, and I've been killed so many times because I missed the first few shots and couldnt see where the fuck was my enemy going while I was firing  :lol: :lol:

Yeah that is true. I find that winning most Push (where you take A-B-C one after another) games is really hard, due to defending team camping (obviously). Super hard if that map is Siege, where you have to cross that big open road to get to A at start. We had to completely smoke up the entire street to not get killed while rushing there.

I am kind of sad VIP isn't played more.

VIP is definetely the most enjoyable gamemode, atleast for me so far  :P

Was playing some of it last night, it seems at some point they removed getting supply points every round :/. Still pretty fun, just doesn't feel as rewarding winning the round.

It isn't really about knowing the maps, not knowing the maps just exaggerates the problem. When leaning is as weak as it is right now, the defender always has a huge advantage on the guy coming around the corner because you will see someone arm slowly poking out before they see you.

Run and gun works very well in this game because of the slow base movement speed that gets slowed even more when you take aim, plus the suppression effect. Laser dot thing is a bit overpowered, no reason not to take it as it gives a huge advantage in CQB. Aiming in this game is really easy, but people still suck at it, so the best way to deal with campers has been to just run in and overwhelm them.

Probably because of crappy VIPs who die in the first ten seconds.

Took one of the humble codes... I think... I've claimed it but it has yet to appear in my Steam list. Thanks anyway :wink:

People still play this? Wow. This is like Chivalry, tbh, pretty crappy free mod for HL2 than for some reason when they started demanding money, people payed, even though there are a dozen mods that did the "not very real realism" thing much better.


Also it may be bad luck but I've been gunned down so quickly even with heavy armor...

Have you bothered to look how much the armor does to reduce dmg. As in, check your dmg counters on the console? Because when I last played this it was reducing dmg by 3% to head, 5% to body (Well, 5.3 or thereabouts, I only checked it a couple of dozen times)
I don't know enough

It's nothing like ive ever played before. It aint nothing revolutionary. But it's not CoD, GO, Battlefield or ARMA. It is something....different. And I kinda like it. Thou yea. This is campers paradise. Proper leaning could fix that.

The original mod for HL2 was brilliant so it's no surprise this is too, it's one of the only FPS's I can stand playing right now tbh.
