    What in HOS are you most worried about?

    Then heroes have been around since RO:OST? I can't count all the times I thought I'd escape a nade or gunfire by stepping into the bathroom, only to be taken out by the shadow in the bathtub!

    A New Player Guide

    Use your ears. You can tell from the direction and actual sound of footsteps when someone is approaching. You can hear pins being pulled on grenades, bayonets being fixed, magazines being changed- all things that tell you when to make a move. You mentioned Langermarkt, so I'll use Danzig as...

    Favorite class and why?

    Either faction, combat engineer. Nothing beats watching in your death cam people running over to pick up my primed demo charge:eek: If engineer is unavailable, I'll settle for rifleman- you can always pick up other weapons to suit any situation and as long as I have grenades at my disposal, I...

    What in HOS are you most worried about?

    The weapon/class restrictions are kind of RO's way of "weapon balance". For instance: long range, open map where the attackers have SMGs only, and the defenders have long rifles only. Sure, once or twice an SMGer could get close enough to do damage, but overall the defenders would have to suck...

    What in HOS are you most worried about?

    I dunno about that. ROLadder, ROLeague, and Red Tide events (sorry if I forgot any) still happened regardless of the demorec limitations. Guess when it came to competition the community was willing to overlook its shortcomings.

    What in HOS are you most worried about?

    I'm not really worried about the influx of new players and their behavior, mostly because I'll be playing on a server I've administrative privileges on. Honestly, anyone worried about TKers, door blockers, or any other form of idiot trying to grief a server should just move on to another...

    Unplayable FPS 1900x1200 Lowest, HD5850, 8GB, Win 7x64, Phenom IIx3, Demo was perfect

    I would verify the FPS as well, as you've only said it is unplayable. I play at 1920x1080 and see 50-60FPS, even with maxed settings (minus coronas) and 2X AA. For comparison, my system specs: Windows XP (I know, its not 7) AMD Athlon X2 4400+ @ 2.875 GHz 2GB PC6400 @ 950 MHz Sapphire Radeon...

    Protip: just because you're a level 6, it doesn't mean you're invincible

    I've a level 6 Support Specialist, and I laugh at how easy it is for me to still die. If I was ever caught running around on my own with no backup whatsoever, it was because I was out of ammo and running to where I knew I could likely find some or because the area my group decided to defend was...

    There is no such thing as Overkill, only more damage

    That was absolutely priceless. My only regret from that instance was not not using FRAPS during it! Its nice to know we've more tactics available to help balance their new comrade, the Husk, and his new ranged ability. BTW- if you contributed to the pile, its best you keep MORE distance...

    Ok finally we get the perfect KF

    I used to be quite content with KF, but that's since changed. I absolutely love it now- Hard actually lives up to its name, and Suicidal really is nearly that. The shotgun needed to be reigned in, and the monsters needed a good retuning, as they had become way to well read and controlled...

    sights and reloading

    Nice catch- had forgotten that, as I spend a bit too much time with the crossbow. Anyone comment yet how we shouldn't HAVE to pump the shotgun? I does have a charging handle on the side...

    sights and reloading

    Almost as annoying with the toggle. Still gotta hit the ironsight button each time. Wonder if its possibly because of the recoil?

    What car do you drive?

    1996 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.7L 4dr 4x4: the family bus (6-8 miles per gallon :eek:) 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L 4dr: daily driver, former fleet car (came with ONLY a radio, no CD or even tape player- remedied) 1989 Dodge Colt 4G63T 4dr: my 271hp, 1930 pound, 20-26 mpg toy (sold to a friend, wife...

    Tactics The patriarch

    The Patriarch is VERY claustrophobic, and after being kicked around a bit he always tries to escape, hopefully running into a welded door he has to destroy. From there its cake- don't nade him, or you'll blow the door. Don't LAW him, or you might blow the door. We've all read this much. But...

    Poll, what player count do you want

    I feel 6 is more than enough for an official limit. As everyone knows, you can indeed set the limit to more players, but the specimen count is rarely increased. Even if it is increased, its hardly enough to really make it balanced to the number of players. According to my clan's webadmin, I...

    Support class

    Exactly! From a lot of the suggestions in this section of the forum (not just this particular thread) it looks like people are more concerned with their own "characters" in the game than in their teamwork. Living up to its namesake, the support specialist class is intended to support the team...

    Support class

    Support class might be quite the utility role, being able to carry a weapon from damn near every class at once, but it only gets perks for a single class- its own perks. Sure, you can carry a shotgun, a bullpup, and a lever action, but the only weapon that is exceptional for this class is the...

    Grenade Clipping

    Someone gets in your way while throwing a grenade, just jump before it releases, hopefully putting it over your team mate's head. If its too late to do so, do what most do: RUN! If neither is a possibility that appeals to someone, they should try playing in a server with friendly fire enabled...

    Lay down the L.A.W.

    You don't always have the choice- he's a lonely bugger who likes to be close to people. There is plenty of need for it, as he also comes complete with standard specimens. For overall damage, the Crossbow has proven to be nearly if not as deadly as the LAW, especially if used to pick headshots...

    MAKE Patriarch KILLABLE!

    Simplest tactic: lock him in. I swear the Patriarch is claustrophobic, as he is always quick to run for an exit when he's hurt. Just don't let him out. In almost every stock map, the Farm excluded, I've seen the Patriarch killed, even when on the Hard difficulty (only done it once on the...
