Ok Utek. I don't found realism as easy you found it. So congratulation, Dude.
Sorry Utek but Classic players think "often" realism mode is for noobs...

it's very easy to jump from : "realism mode is easy" to : "realism mode is for noobs".
Hmmm...yea i know,maybe its because of some stuff that is in there?

Well, how about this....

Besides the sprint speed adjustment that is probably coming to Classic, do you think anything else will?

And when?

:D

I am hoping the speed adjustment comes with the next update, hopefully that is this coming week with the 2nd part of the mapping contest maps.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that tweak is so extensive that it shouldn't be ready by now. By far it is the single biggest thing holding players back from trying the mode.

:D

Yeah the dynamic movement, the grenade and arty sounds, the blackout effects and falling helmets really ought to be put into the game officially. Even the death screams and animations have been fixed. No more screaming headless bodies.

Speed movement in realism mode make soldier moving more hard to shoot than in classic mode.

Moe, And people who are ok with speed in RO 2 ? they need to create new thread too ?

No more screaming headless bodies.
Guliano ?? It's cool to see headless bodies, i don't see the problem ? It's something who make RO 2 fun !

more time and more tactical tasks to do.

Kathmandu, you want to make a server with Sparta or Fallen 24/7 ?? You can do it with server...

Yes, Berlin and Leningrad were 1:30 hour or one captured round only.
We need to have more tasks and things to do instead of the round just beeing a rush towards the cap zone.

Kat, Keep it mind, RO 2 have been created to clans and matches.
So a match with one map of 1h30...

But your idea can be cool, i think, dude.
My way to use your idea : (i talk from realism mode, who is the mode i play)
If we follow your idea we can have something new to RO 2 and RS. (and your idea can be added as sepcial challenge with a new gamestyle called "Challenge " or "hell of ...and name of the map).

Grane elevator : "Grane elevator Challenge " or "Hell of Grane elevator", to make it, we need several modifications :

- time 1h30 or more : i want to say until 12h (max).
- a lot of thickets : not 100 200 300 500 but really more than 100 200 300 500 tickets
- a minimum of danger zoom who protect respawn
- ONE objective only (the two final part of 4 floor mixed in only one objective )

So now i wish you fun in your custom server. (or in the gamestyle if Tripwire want to add it in RO 2)

This gamestyle should give feeling of real time of a battle. So it's why you idea can be cool, Kat.

Same for
Sparta : last russian objective
Fallen : german univermag
Commissar's house : last german objective
Winterwald : last russian objective
Pavlov same than silo : the two last russian objective mixed in one.
Rakowice : last german objective
or other maps.

With a minimum of danger zoom who protect respawn, soldiers can move in ALL the map as they want !...except in enemy respawn.

Keeping adding fuel to the fire my man. All you are doing is reinforcing my point even more.

And you mine!
Read the OP!

@Cocaine
I do understand but I just care a lot less. I tried seeding on Classic servers for days...and if you knew me than you would know better. I am being misunderstood a lot on these forums. Me being responsible for fewer player numbers? Really? Oh well if you think so then I will take the blame personally. Piscator is responsible for the death of Classic!


Right now I accept the accusations from the non-classic players that we are a bunch of elitists. In retrospect, we were and are and that might not be a bad thing after all. The elite is defined by a few but better than average. Hate it all you want, find it not pc, doesn't change it...

So it looks like most of the elite has left this now average game.

:D I leave you with a smile. Don't take everything so serious! After all, it is just a game!

I feel like a lot of people have the intention to do a generalisation of classic mode and especially it's players. I don't feel like being a better player just because I prefered to play Classic mode. It's just sad to see that it's pretty much dead; and some people blaming the Classic players themselves for that is just equally as sad.

Perhaps you should read my post that Picastor responded to. My point was that if you constantly act like asshats on public forums proclaiming the virtues your game by alienating everyone else that doesn't explicitly share your tastes ,then yes you are contributing the the eventual failure of your game. And perhaps you don't have some false sense of elitism of entitlement, but plenty do and like to make it known at the expense of more sensible players - Classic and Realism alike.

During the whole time of playing RO2 only about 3 or maybe 4 times I have seen people stating that they are "elitist" classic-players and that the whole community should be playing the mode. Most of the times the classic players I used to play with were people who were helpful to new guys and cooperative and their way of playing the game. So again just because a few vocal people cried out their "beliefs" doesn't mean that this is the cause for the desertion of Classic mode.
