That we are even debating realism in a game that is about cyborg-zombie-aliens invading earth just shows how absurd this community has become.
Is there any site where i can read/see all the maps?? If they convince me i'd maybe actually buy it.Quietus,
There's a tremendous amount of splash damage in this game. The group that you hit was probably down to 1/4 health, but anyways the walker fires plasma rounds not HE shells. The weak vehicle syndrome can be addressed by hitting v, then 9, which creates a repair mission for an engineer. I find 7 times out of 10 this gets me back up to full strength within seconds.
What at first glance looks like mindless explosions and fighting is actually rocket infantry trying to take down an artillery interceptor turret, so that the field ops located up high on a mountain out of your view can begin landing SSMs into the objective area, to clear a path for covert ops to advance and begin hacking the shield generator.
The graphics are ok, but it's really gameplay that's king here.
As far as weak guns go, give the hyperblaster a (literal) spin. One time leaning around a corner I locked down the GDF forward tunnel spawn for at least three or four minutes. The secret is never letting the HB spin down by tapping the fire key. I must have killed 12-15 GDF. It was tragic and horrible. I felt sorry for them. Finally after running out of ammo I got naded from behind.
The only other time I've killed that many human players in a row is as Russian MG gunner on Basovka, but that was up in the 25-30 range.
After RO and Stalker, hitscan weapons in games generally piss me off, but considering the tongue in cheek realism of QW I can let it slide here.
Reading about some of the maps like Ark and Slipgate I can't wait to buy the full game.
Oleg, I can assure you I visit the forums way too infrequently these days to keep track of any witchhunts, be they real or imaginary. The past five topics i've visited over the last weeks were about games other than RO and, inevitably, someone either compared the game to RO or otherwise complained about its lack of realism. And yes, i find that rediculous when it comes to a game like this one. Moreover this thing that we are debating is a non-issue as stated multiple times by Soviet. Small arms damage to vehicles is just way to low. But feel free to prove me otherwise. Btw, iirc small arms do damage vehicles in UT Onslaught, too.Kraut you belong to this group of posters that seem obsessed with ridiculing others POV on realism. Some posters go from thread to thread ridiculing people who mention realism in any game other than RO (or any game, period), and ridiculing others opinion on realism whatever it may be.
Contrary to what you may think, not everyone is obsessed with realism or the lack thereof. For me RO is unrealistic as it is, other games even more so, but I don't like or dislike the game only because of "realism". I am as prepared to love or hate any game - pseudo-realistic or not.
Having said that, Quietus does have a point. It is STUPID to have some future tanks and badass mega vehicles, that we may safely assume cost millions of future dollars to produce, armed with piss poor weapons, and being constantly destroyed by small arms or el cheapo future RPGs.
So, yeah, we are not "debating realism in a game that is about cyborg-zombie-aliens invading earth" we are debating the stupidity of having million-cyborg-alien-dollar badass vehicle destroyed by cyborg-alien-AK47. That's a valid point IMO.

I had the same problem. I had to download the demo from a game site instead.Every time I try and play it it tells me the game is currently unavailable...

They put all their effort into making a very fun, fast-paced multiplayer game. No it isn't groundbreaking. Now which games in the past two to three years were groundbreaking again? You play only those, then I'm sorry for you , because you're missing a lot of fun.
I said by only playing games that are groundbreaking you are limiting yourself and it will make you miss on some fun games... I never said anything about definitions of what makes a game fun.BS to that mate, "Fun" is not a universal constant or law of nature, "Fun" is a highly subjective thing that will not be bound to your definition of it, nor mine, your idea of fun may be my idea of torture, and vice versa.

Amazingly "rototiller" is in the Firefox spell checker word list.
