Radar on RO HOS - Big Error of Tripware

[Das Bose]

You can't have everything you want, sadly the universe doesn't orbit around one mans head. Some things need to be sacrificed in order for gameplay, flow.. it's still gonna be very realistic.

It's not an army military training sim, it's still a game the last time i checked.

I never suggested I should get everything I wanted, nor did I suggest that the universe revolved around one mans head.

I haven't suggested RO2 is a military sim and have always held the belief that it is a game.

Did you reply to the right person?

TW is now catering to the children and the tarts who play Call Of Booty

There's on thing that I am curious about the radar. Perhaps this is just me getting confoosled after playing so many hours of ARMA2ACE. Our group just added the 'shacktac hud' in arma which is basically a small radar and shows you only friendlies in a very close radius, this helps with situational awareness that players dont get from just a regular monitor. Isnt that almost exactly what the ROHOS radar will be, or will it also show enemies?

Only friendlies.

I just hope every little thing has an option...Otherwise if I cant turn something off to create more realism, I am going to go mad and try to find out any way to change it.

I'm fairly sure that anything important will be implemented, but if not people will make mutators :IS2:

I think that every single HUD element can be disabled.

Actually, in combat a person experiences tunnel vision. All periphery sensing goes away for a person engaged.

This is why one is told to "keep their head on a swivel", and why each operator has a specific sector of resposibility.

Saying that a peripherla indicator is realistic because people have peripheral vision is not true to the combat experience.

A HUD indicator couldn't be more anti-WW2 experience. In combat, one will have a general idea of where their friends are, and the second most important rule is don't shoot your friends. With a HUD showing where your friends are, the fog of war is removed, to the detriment of the overall experience.

More time should have been spent on original depictions of men in combat instead of handing out tired and un-original crutches.

Props to the OP. Not enough people are standing up and saying "This isn't RO, this isn't true to the WW2 experience".

Then you won't see much complaints from me. I find clutter distracting and would rather use sound/sight to identify who is who. If it puts me at a disavantage, then so be it!

And you can also toggle the HUD to view it with a single keystroke, and then hide it too. I read that somewhere

I like sort of how RnL did it: Tab key that brought up what your avatar had in terms of ammo and equipment. Instead of knowing how many nades I had left with some stupid indicator on the screen, I could tab key to see a virtual pistol belt that showed me what I had.

One of the latest gameplay videos (with the suppression I think) showed the radar, and I thought it was so you know how far the cap zones reached (when you are capping), some layout of the map and friendlies.

Only thing I am afraid of; hope the friendlies are only visible close ranged.
