Let's do a brainstorm: Historically accurate mode

[Rrralphster]

I understand people want a different feel to the game.
But don't claim these idea's will make the game more historically accurate, because they don't.

Mkb and AVT are BS weapons (specially in these numbers), bayo on a sniperrifle???, RPG-40 not killing people in a direct hit. I can come up with more inaccuracies.
But removing SMG's and forcing bolt-actions in general is just wrong, historically accurate wise...


P.S. I voted yes, just to give people the option. I like having options.

I really want what is written in OP. At this moment, RO2 with MKB42 swarms is barely playable for me...

The sections were 9 men strong. Add a 50mm mortar section (one can dream)

I really don't enjoy RO2 at all at the moment. It's too one-sided, and the MkB is just not enjoyable. When you use it, getting a kill isn't satisfying. When you get killed by it, it feels like getting cheated.

In an other thread, I predicted that the full version would be less fun than the beta. It seems at the moment that I'm right. The unlock system that was supposed to increase the lifespan of the game has pretty much killed it for me.

108 to 6, somebody wake up Tripwire!

I'm all for this. Would also add better pace to the game (too fast as of now in my opinion) and limiting weapons would actually make people do what they are supposed to.

I absolutely support OP. With the current weapon loadouts, RO 2 is going into just the same direction that Day of Defeat went when going from mod to retail. It greatly encourages run and gun gameplay rather than teamplay because all those semis and full auto rifles make one individual soldier to have too much firepower so that he doesn't have to rely on his supporting teammates.

I approve of this suggestion. However I personally think the rare equipment should be avalible but limited to 1 or 2 slots per team? What was that whole "hero class" thing? It would be along those lines but they could get either the MKb-42, MG-34 with saddle drum, MP-40 with that strange dual magazine thing, etc.

Also the ability to get weapons in good condition would be nice.

of TWIs time to effectively remove portions of the game for a select niche of there vocal market.

[Stormer]

it's a pretty sad thing when you need mods like this in the sequel to RO for it to feel and play like RO...

 

[CommissarLampshade]

True.

A realism mod for a realistic game that was original a mod? That's not irony but it's something.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad to see all these votes. I seriously hope TWI will take this seriously and make such a mode (or give us the tools to do so), or at least it could make them acknowledge the flaws in the unlock system.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure no one affiliated with TWI has read this thread. "Ideas and Suggestions" is purgatory.

bump. bump. bump.

If you were to have a year to kill and go back and read the entire collection of the RO1 suggestions forum you would see that they did as many things as they could and lots of the ones they couldent do are now in HOS.

Give them some time to fix the bugs, I can assure you they do read the forums when they get the time.

Do it Devs and fulfill RO2's destiny!

 

[Colt .45 killer]

I want other changes for this mode as well. IE the recon plane should have a % chance to view people, much lower in ruins, and also should not be able to always ascertain the team of the men on the ground. So it should give you some markers of targets it spotted, this will include your mates and enemies. Thus a hasty SL could drop ordinance on friendlies in a position not expected. ( must communicate !)

Deliberatly un ballance the team weapons!
German ww2 tactics focused on the use of the MG to support the team, The germans should have a few more MG's then the russians. The russians on the other hand had a hard time getting enough MG's, and as such tried things like the AVT to get more. They should have roughly 1/2 the number of MG's compared to the Germans. This is ballanced by the Russians having more smg's than the Germans ( roughly 2x the SMG's ).

Thus forcing the teams to use different tactics and styles.

 

[Lucan946]

This would definitley be nice.

I guess you could be right about that. It's kinda sad, really.

 

[Zetsumei]

Well then keep this thread active and on top at some point someone has got to stroll into it . I mean the vote speaks more than any text in here.
