RS Classic testing

[Piscator]

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.

If I had only Realism mode to play I would not play at all. The problem for me is not the zoom, the maps, the movement speed etc. it is the arcadish feeling of Realism mode with the lack of sway, the idiotic spawn on SL (that's why you think the maps are badly designed I think) and enemy weapons to spawn with.

I could go and play any other FPS in MP if I wanted that. I want real "Realism", authenticity, tactics, teamplay and immersion. To me all this is mostly absent in Realism mode. It is too easy, too casual.

same as Classic. Its not even such deadly as realism because you cant see further than 100 meters.

???? The other day I had a 266 m bolt action headshot on Iwo Jima and I have regular kills around 200 m on Classic. Sounds like you can't see further without zoom but other people can. Classic is more about different skills (aiming with sway, choosing when to sprint, getting into a good position (kind of lacking that in Realism due to spawn on SL), checking your stamina etc.)

Classic is not dead, it is just a small elite group (sorry but after trying out Realism servers I found this to be true, the average Classic player is better and better behaved for sure).

Oh and there is no bandaging on Classic and damage is slightly increased as far as I know so it is more deadly and there is the problem. It is too difficult for most which is ok. All I am trying to achieve here is to get the people that like the ideas of Classic to know what it is about and take on the challenge. Classic after all is the highest level of gameplay (check when you can enter a Classic server on RS, it requires a higher level).

Once you mastered Realism, the next challenge is to master Classic and only few are able to and overcome the difficulties.

Note that Classic still has IS zoom (same as in Realism), and for rifles this is pretty close to 'full shift zoom'. A mutator is in the work to elimate all zooming, check it out!

I dont think so!! I havent played classic for a year now, because my account is banned.

Then you should be good in Classic as well. But since your account is banned you might have the problem with the behaviour??

Not sure what you mean by "I don't think so".

Guys. He`s a troll. Attacking Classic only because he cant get on certain server... You may guess why he`s banned. Most probably his previous account is banned on twi forums. I would like bring moderator attention to this person. I can provide more details.

Well, when i play at least an hour in classic, then jump in to a realism server, the difference is huge. Certain functions make the gameplay much easier for me. It's like playing regular RO then joining a cod server (ok it's not that bad).

I think most of the complaints are coming from teenagers or newbies who can't stand the challenge/difficulty, gets frustrated and simply call it "sh*t".

Exactly my point. You need patience and motivation for Classic. It's not a quick shooter for in-between. The learning curve is even steeper and longer in Classic.

So everyone who likes a challenge, equal levels for players and who is not afraid to learn patiently, join Classic. You will be rewarded with a great teamplay experience and most of us are happy to help you guys get into it.

Also if you feel too old or Realism feels too "twitchy-reaction-based" for you then Classic might be right for you.

@Mord
I thought so about Lechna. As I stated before there seems to be a reason why he is banned. Probably for the best of our little Classic family (sounds better than elite group)!

At peak times it is even hard to get onto the 40-1 Classic server so it is not dead.

 

[Cwivey]

Opinions. Can't you have them without resorting to hating on something someone else likes...? :<


I pop into Classic servers every now and then, only gripe is the movement speed.

 

[TylerTr95]

There's no ranking up in classic, correct? I play all realistic haven't tried action since it came out. But i do play alot of DH still, so if it' like that i may try it.

 

[Kleist]

forget about level up in the Beta... or does your level will be taken in RS final?

And I

Have been playing Classic for last few nights on 40-1 and 42Co servers and gotta say, it feels much better than Realism mode.
The lack of twitch shoot and added sway means you live a bit longer and adds that split second and tension when two enemies sight eachother.

I do play both modes in RO2 but I find Classic far better in RS. So throw away your preconceptions and just have a go.
Tip: if you feel like the sprint speed is frustratingly slow, just crouch run, it has the illusion of speed due to the quicker animations

Realism Mode: You have heard enemy footsteps ahead in the jungle. You aim your rifle at a break in the trees, fully prepared for the enemy soldier. He comes around the corner in an ignorant, oblivious all-out sprint, sees you, and reflexively snaps up his tommy gun near-instantaneously, shredding you in the heartbeat it took you to adjust your aim.

Classic Mode: You have heard enemy footsteps ahead in the jungle. You aim your rifle at a break in the trees, fully prepared for the enemy soldier. He comes around the corner in an ignorant, oblivious all-out sprint, sees you, and scrambles in vain to raise his weapon. You, having already taken aim, shoot him down with contempt and watch as he crumples, having taught your enemy a valuable lesson about awareness and preparedness.

so are we classic players getting some small fix/tweaks before we hit 30.may?
i think this would be a good:

*10-20% stamina increase
*maybe 5% speed increase

why did you not made a Classic-Speed-beta test server with new run speeds?

*Banzai charge-in classic is not so effective,because of if you get shot once it will slow you down drastically,+ the increased damage you take in classic,...you are pretty much a deadman.
so why not make it more like this:

-a small sprint boost
-not so much of a slowdown if you get hit
-...(add your ideas)

*flamethrower-make the Dragon dude move slower,and make the weapon louder .

Definitely this.

With flamethrowers on defense in Classic, banzai charges may as just be free padding for the flamethrowers' kill points.

Better yet, just take out flamethrowers on defensive maps for the Americans and give them a few more MGs or BARs

this or only one flamethrower per map(on defensive maps for the Americans)

*Long "examples" of "gameplay" in the two modes.

These are of course more exceptional circumstances, and not likely to happen all the time, in EITHER mode.

Of course the outcome can play out differently, and you don't generally hear an enemy coming most of the time--my point is that a guy running around like a chicken with its head cut off in Realism isn't really at all that much of a disadvantage when they blunder headlong into a prepared opponent.

I know I score dubious kills all the time in Realism Mode, whether it's sprinting into a room and twitch-hosing down the poor sod who had his rifle aimed right at the door, or when I see an enemy head in a bunker embrasure while I'm in a crouch sprint in an open field and I quickly sight in, pop a hole in his helmet, and run on.

 

[Cwivey]

Only if the guy hunkered down can't shoot for crap, and someone running around like a headless chicken is a helluva lot less likely to even be good at shooting...

Besides, you can "twitch shoot" in Classic, just don't bother aiming and hip-fire the poor guy.
