"What will bring you back?" Thread

- better ping

- less servers with bots and more with real people

- re design points on some maps, like grain elevator ( make more capture points with smaller areas and make it were the Germans have to actually fight for every foot of ground vs just capture the bottom)

- more capture points of fallen heroes on the buildings on the out skirts

Honestly I load up RO2 every day, look at the servers, no ones on and I leave and play BF3. Want to play ro2, just want to play with real people not bots.


- stamina bar should stay on screen when its not full

if( stamina bar != full)
{
display it
}

More types of scenerioes to play maybe.

Honestly I think after the SDK is released, RO2 will come back to life.

Tripwire recognising that RO serie need it's realism and don't need run & gun mechanisms (+ arcadey classes distribution).

better ping, more maps, and at least they need to realise the SDK to make maps and mods. i think this will bring ppl to play again and bring the features like tanks to work properly
and make some mode like S&D in cod for play
my 50 cent

Im still playing but I reckon a Steady stream of new maps from this point on will bring back players who realise what they are playing has not potential.


PARA CD server still going strong btw

I still play, but not as often anymore. These things would make the game extremely good, in my opinion:

More maps.
Huge maps.
Fewer squad leaders. (2-3 at most, excluding the commander)
I think the recoil and sway are fine as they are, but I can't fathom why the sway is not influenced by having low stamina.
Making the MKb-42 and AVT-40 weapons extremely rare. (so rare that only 1 of each spawns per round)
Replacing the class-selection screen with an improved squad selection screen.

- native voices (as so vehemently promised)

- death sounds/gurgles/screams (used to be there, where'd they go?)

- assorted dumb **** with the menus (always pre-selecting first spawn on the spawn menu, map voting chat doesnt work, vote kicking/role voting still doesn't work,etc)

- indication of whether spawning on your SL will be successful or not.

- colored voice chat for team, squad etc. RO had this, why the regression?

- choose-able unlocks. the g41 scope and mkb 42 scope are useless. and maybe I want the sight hood on my k98 at lvl 50?


For me, its not really anything huge. I could care less about the number of automatics on the map, cuz I roll as rifleman and get great satisfaction out of bayoneting subbers. I could care less about the bandaging system and the fact that injuries were removed.

What does drive me away from the game are broken promises and lack of polish on areas of the menus/game that I have to frequently use (no indication if spawn on SL will be successful, for example). For me and my friends its not one huge problem that drove us away, its a lot of little problems that add up to a frustrating experience.

only 1 thing:

ping

I never left...

Weapon sway + Historical loadouts.

1) Better maps, i.e. larger, more rifle friendly, and give me some forested areas already (screw this being stalingrad)

2) The return of the bolt dominance. Do whatever you have to--larger, more open maps, a little more sight-zoom (not shift-sprint-zoom crap), and more powerful (if I shoot you in the shoulder, your shoulder should explode and you should be down for the count)

3) ping fix--I mean seriously.

4) And obviously more players, since right now the pickings are poor and bots get boring.

I never left, but THE most important things for me:

- footsteps
- less rock steady aim, especially when low on stamina
- proper wounding system

Man I would love some more performance gains. 25-40 FPS is keeping me from playing because I am always trying to tweak it.

I still play, but I would play more if they fixed hit detection and redid their entire wounding system.

As it is, someone take five rounds to the chest and slapping a band-aid on it and acting as if nothing happened is lame.

There is like tons of suggestion to bring back good old RO spirit into HoS to resurrect the game, however most important thing is: Will we get anything from TWI? Or we just have to wait months for modders to fix gameplay?

I still think the zoom is a brilliant idea, and TWI was very clever in implementing it. Although it seems to zoom in for you, it really brings the perspective to the same point for all guns. Whether it's a pistol or a rifle, you should be able to see the same distance in real life, so I think it's quite realistic. The larger field of view on the pistol is for use in closer quarters where peripheral sight is more important whereas the view on the rifle is narrowed because it's meant to be used at longer ranges anyways. They zoom in to the same point when holding Lshift and ironsighted. I really don't understand the fuss about this mechanic.

I'm happy with the changes they made to weapon balance; there are much fewer semi autos in games now and I don't feel as defenseless for playing a bolt.

I would like to see some more consistent bullet penetration. Sometimes it seems to pierce brick walls and other times it can't go through a wooden board. Even more peculiarly it will penetrate some walls in only one direction.

The latch on cover system is still a bit finicky at points, but is usually fixed by just re-covering.

Demo recording is something I'd love to see implemented in a better fashion. I know they're working on it, though.

Besides all these points, I still play and absolutely adore this game. It's better paced and more satisfying then any other fps I currently play.

I play on bot servers more than on real people servers. Less tryhards using automatics and semi-automatics.

If someone creates a mutator that fixes the weapon/class selection, I will play on more populated servers.
