After some testing i think banzai charges are a bit weaker in classic. It's the exhausted speed that needs a little buff in my opinion. Perhaps increasing both sprint and exhausted speed slightly wouldn't hurt i think. What i see most people complain is once your soldier runs out of stamina, especially in swamps it feels really slow. Just my thoughts.

Classic rules in RS as well just like in RO. To me the overall experience is much better and deeper than Realism.

I think many of you are right that it is the depleted stamina running speed that seems wrong. As I pointed out if you crouch and sprint you are just as fast or even faster when stamina has run out, so it seems a bit off and I would not mind an increase in the speed there when stamina is depleted.

Played on the 40-1 classic server yesterday (great server!) as a japanese on most maps, and there was a discussion about sprint speed. It seemed most players agreed that it was too slow, and that banzai was useless. I have only played RS on classic servers so far, and I have yet to see a single successful banzai charge, and that was one of the things I was looking forward to.

Indeed. Low stamina depletes much faster and banzai charge isn't fast enough to make the difference when closing to the enemy. In my opinion increasing stamina - I am not sure but I think levels are different from RO2 Classic - could help banzai charges on Classic. On Realism they do seem to work.

Yes the 40-1 server and the people playing there are great. The server still seems to lag when with 64 players. Is it Classic mode that makes the game lag more? I don't see how it would put more load on the server however?

I just tried a full Realism server and it seemed to work ok there. However Realism mode after having played Classic just feels so cheesy with all the perks and the names floating across the whole map.

Doesn't have to do anything with the gamemode.

Might be another ddos.

I'll be hopping onto a classic server soon. Although I like both classic and realism, classic in RO2 was my favorite, so I'll probably like it in RS as well.

Well the main lag is gone now and it runs smoothly. I am just getting some micro stuttering but I updated graphics drivers so might be that.
Great games on 40-1 server!

I found the banzai charges still effective in Classic as you can't hit anything even with a full automatic weapon when several Japanese run towards you. But I am all for increasing the depleted stamina run speed a bit.
In Realism I often felt the Banzai chargers were invincible and too potent.

From what i've seen, banzai charges can be still effective. It's just much harder to pull it off. You can't charge 2km far blindly. Axis needs to sneak very close and then initiate. But i'm up for a slight speed buff.

Well the testing goes nicely on the great 40-1 Classic server so no complaints about that.

However I urge TWI to change the name Classic and explain the mode a bit better. Since I have been buying a lot of uncut copies for fellow Germans I noticed that most people are completely unaware of what Classic mode does but many actually look for that coming from COD and BF etc. I mean "some functions limited"? "slower pace"? don't sound so appealing.

Why not mention the benefits of Classic instead?

-Equal levels
-more sway
-quicker death
-more tactics
-slower running speed
-more authenitc weapon loadout
-no spawn on SL
-true hardcore mode (since you use the word hardcore inapproprietly for Realism)
-more bolt rifles
etc.

maybe something like this,for a new name:
-Hardcore Realism
-Historical Authentic
-Historical Realism
-Authentic Realism
-...
and how about a official TW poll,with different potential names.to see what the communty thinks is the best name.

The pop up description for Classic in RS is much better than it is in HOS, I expect that to change there as well with release.

I'm still all for a name change.

Classic is more than dead, only one server left! I dont miss classic mode even if i played for years Ro. Ro is easy as Ro2 if you have skills. Played some rounds on the russian (ro ost) server and and had the highest score. The main problem in Ro2 is not the zoom, or the movement speed, it is the design of maps. Nearly all maps are too small for 64 players.
Classic Mode should be removed same as Action.
Only one gametype for ro the same as in Ro ost.

Believe me, most of the forum-goers playing Classic have no problems racking up massive scores in Realism. ;)
