Are there any features in the mod that are not in Ostfront?

[Heler]

Title says it all really.

Havnt played the mod and I'm wondering if it had any features.

Better camo for tanks? Better camo for troops? etc..

Being able to shoot multiple soldiers with one bullet.

Was a side effect of a intended feature.

The highest number I have heard of with a single bullet is 12 kills (staged of course not ingame, ingame you sometimes saw 2 kills with 1 bullet on very rare occations 3 kills)

 

[Heler]

that would be rather fake, as a bullet on entering a body does a crazy load of **** before simply exiting!

 

[Fu. Svedberg]

Well 12 soldiers is extreme with one bullet I agree

But from a realistic standpoint a rifle bullet penetrating 2 or even 3 soldiers isn't that bad IMO.

 

[Krokar]

There was cammo for troops (smocks, uniforms, helmet covers) and waffen SS uniforms in the mod.

I liked the melee system more than actual one. Both are not perfect but a mix would be better.

A bullet on entering a body, especially with the rounds the SMGs fire in this mod, would enter and bounce.

For example, there are many recorded results of bullets entering the chest and exiting the shoulder. Or a bullet entering the shoulder and exiting through the stomache.

The mauser would behave differently then the nagants (The nagants do shoot a heavy ball though...).

The 8mm mauser is a beast of a cartridge that would seriously put a dampner on your day. For comparisons sake a .308 winchester round is 7.62x51mm, the russian is a 7.62x54Rmm cartridge. The Mauser is a 8x00mm cartidge!

It depends on how close you are and everything but rarely would a bullet go through multiple people!

The 7.92x57 is slightly more powerfull than the 7.62x54R, though i would not call it a beast. 8 x 57 JS is the German designation, caliber is still 7.92. (Actually it is 8.08 or 8.2 mm depends how you measure... wierd)

In addition to dozens of camo options, it also had slow-paced gameplay.

 

[Crusher]

it still has slow-paced gameplay, at least slow paced enough to keep away the CS kiddies

 

[ProfessorKayos]

Wow Sved...12?!

We tried with the old Team USA and got 5 I think...that was lining everybody up.

I miss that feature. There were more variety of uniforms and the gameplay was a little slower...perhaps only because you had to completely stop to prone.

 

[Rex]

well the mod had dual shoulder-mounted panzerfausts, but that was one of the hardcore realism features that had to be phased out to reach a more commerical audience.

 

[1 3 3]

call me crazy, but i liked the player models and melee system better in the mod version. oh and i miss the C96...

 

[Rameusb5]

There were a few minor differences:

1. The Russians and the Germans each had a pistol in the mod that is missing from the current game.

2. You could penetrate tanks and kill crew without blowing up the vehicle. (not sure if this was a bug or intended)

3. As already mentioned, several infantry avatars are no longer available

4. The Russians had a truck intead of a scout car

5. Several maps available in the Mod are no longer available

That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

those would be nice

I think the mod had the "free beer" option, and I believe it was a server-side setting. for whatever reason, it did not make it over to the stand-alone retail RO:O.

Yes, except for the melee system atm. which I prefer over the mod's.

And don't forget the ZiS-4 truck, which PWN3D! Unlike the clown car. :/

That was just for the German Team. The Russian team had a Vodka dispenser.

Oh yea and the Vodka rations for the Ruskies. Now that was fun. Bunch of drunk Russian tankers running about the battlefield. Wow, the mayhem! LOL

 

[Zetsumei]

I prefer the capping system of pre 3.0
I prefer the truck over the clowncar
I prefer the old stabbing system
I prefer the ability to stop reloading so you can stab
I prefer the smg power from the mod (mind you i only use rifles
And i miss alot of the maps i liked, most official maps i didn't really like made it to the retail somehow.

we only got 3 old infantry maps with the original release and the rest was mixed/tank. All most played maps weren't ported because they were ugly and overplayed, (who cares about gameplay when you got graphics)

 

[Avron]

I miss only the russian Zis truck from the mod.
