Banano posted:not much more than usual actually, it was just a very frustrating time when shots either missed for no good reason (crosshairs dead on a stationary target, shooting from prone) or registered but appeared to do nothing (e.g. 2 shots from an M14 to the chest with hit sound, 2 helmet hit sounds on a guy and no kill). Yeah there's some hit detection wonk happening. I think that part of the problem is that bullets originate from the barrel of the gun and while ADS it's pretty hard to tell where exactly that is.

Basticle posted:The game desperately needs a push map where the americans defend (hell just flip hill937) I think that a game mode where the Americans need to defend a helicopter landing zone while they are evacuated would be really cool. Score it based on how many players can hitch a ride out of the map before tickets and time runs out.

Stairmaster posted:e: any tips on using the flamethrower? It's really strong for clearing out campers because it's fire and forget, which also makes it excellent for prefiring. You do not have to ADS, just get close enough to land a hit, so it's also really good for running and gunning. When I'm using a flamethrower I try to get behind the enemy in close quarters and keep moving for as long as possible so that people have a harder time figuring out what's going on. Don't bother using it on the parts of maps where you can't get the drop on people and where there's a good chance that anyone will be 20 feet away.

Yardbomb posted:I hear people make fun of the "ENEMY IS ALMOST OUT OF TAM" and "WE AH TAKING FOKSTRO" lines pretty often but not all that much actual "Ching chong nip nong" racism, it sounds like some of you guys are getting really unlucky. I'm more of a YAAA guy myself. Kenzie posted:I had no idea this was a thing. At least when playing regular RO2, it always seemed like the guys who were the most aggressive were the ones who were the most effective. Like watching other people play it, on youtube or in spectator mode or whatever, I would see guys just sprinting around everywhere massacring the other team because they were quick on the draw and memorized the maps. The players who tried to move slowly and creep around and snipe people were usually not very effective, and would just get overrun or flanked and shot by one of those hyper-aggressive players. It really depends on the circumstances as to whether playing aggressively works in this game or not, but from my experience it's usually better to be more conservative unless you manage to get behind or inside of a group of enemies, at which point go nuts.

Kenzie posted:What annoys me are the people who get really angry when their team is losing and then take their frustration out on everyone else, calling them idiots or never shutting up with barking orders at the team. I saw one guy do this and he wouldn't shut up until he got votekicked. I had a good round where our commander was trying to micromanage all of our squads but was using weird milsim terms and names so even if we had wanted to follow his instructions we wouldn't have known what he was talking about. He slowly melted down over the course of the round and it was great.

Mega Comrade posted:As long as its not a huge reduction I think its a good change. Its frustrating to give people warning then get stuck with a 1.30+ min spawn delay because of over aggressive players who get themselves killed and blame you that they don't have voice chat enabled. I mean there's already a pretty big delay between the artillery being called in and when the barrage actually begins, so reducing the TK penalty is a nice addition as people are usually team killed by artillery because one or both parties involved are idiots. If the commander is the one loving up he's probably still going to get a long respawn timer from killing so many friendlies, but if it's people not paying attention to the artillery marker and running into it the commander will be punished less. I think that the TK forgive option should pop up like a votekick or map change, though. I usually don't realize that I've been team killed or don't remember that it's an option.

Which is the same poo poo that used to fly around in RS1 with the overly religious Marine with an exaggerated southern accent. I've run into 3 actual racists in game in 95 hours and actively loving with them enhanced the game, not ruined it. It could be goons wildly over exaggerating, or maybe it's that other people could have different experiences than you. I'm glad that you haven't run into many racists, but almost every time I play this game I run into people dropping any and all racial slurs and doing the classic ching chong bit.

There are already a few custom maps that people have put up on servers for testing, a couple of which are incredibly high quality so far. It should also be entirely possible to cannibalize the supremecy maps for territories, or flip the spawns of the territories maps for some more variety.

Speaking of new maps, it looks like all of the old Red Orchestra/Rising Storm maps are fully compatible with the RS2 SDK. I've been able to load a few RO2 maps and run around as a PLN soldier with an AK. The problem I'm running into, though, is that I don't know how to get the textures and lighting working properly. I'm not familiar with the Unreal editor or the RO2 version, so I'm just kind of guessing as to how things work at the moment.

automaticswim posted:there are some good tutorials that can give you a decent start, but i wouldn't recommend trying to import/modify RO2 maps for this. it'd be easier in the long run to remake it on your own, so you don't get glitchy textures and lighting and can ensure all objectives and markers are properly placed, whereas importing you can miss small things and then poo poo gets weird. I was actually able to get some RS maps to load with almost every single asset properly textured, sky box working, etc. While I'm not sure how you would be able to get that stuff loading in the client, I was thinking more along the lines of custom map creators having a leg up in recreating their old content.

The worst custom map that I've played so far was some kind of non eucladian city that appeared to be made out of foam Legos and cheese. It was surreal wandering around the maze like buildings just trying to figure out what's going on. Don't make your map out of LOD assets, folks.

The problem with helicopters that I've been noticing is that they're usually either a massive pain in the rear end or totally worthless. Since the Dshks are in fixed locations you wind up with pilots and gunners who will shoot them through the trees from across the map, and if the helicopters stay low enough the only way for the VN to reliably kill them is to wait for them to land. Because of this you get people camping the landing spots, which fucks over bad pilots even more.

Hamlet442 posted:Maybe it's the servers I always play on but when I'm playing on the Vietnamese side, the choppers destroy us because nobody ever shoots at them. The team relies solely on the RPG guys and don't fire until the GIs unload from the aircraft. It's like they have no idea small arms can hurt them. People probably are shooting at them, but unless you manage to kill the pilot you probably aren't going to do anything to a helicopter other than make it go land for repairs, which is why people camp the landing zones. Coordinating well enough to actually shoot down helicopters with small arms is just not something that a server full of random people is ever going to do.

pnutz posted:the server has a redirect set up, I've been playing maps on it for a while. Yeah, what I mean is that when you join a server and start downloading the map you can end up with insanely slow download speeds. I was playing with a guy who has 100mb down and couldn't even finish downloading a map before the round ended. I'm assuming that that's why server populations will implode when a match ends and transitions to a custom map.

drunkill posted:Some servers have it set to the custom map downloads via the steam workshop, which is a great idea considering the maps are already there and when there is an updated version of the map you'll download it when steam starts anyway. I think the devs might be pushing that as the default option in a patch. Frees up all the server bandwidth on mapchange. From what I can tell after loving around with the SDK, the reason the vanilla maps are so large is because they store a lot of the art assets in the map folders. Unless custom ones introduce new assets they should only be a couple of hundred MB, although from what I've read maps with correctly done lighting can be much larger.

There are already some pretty decent custom maps up on certain servers. I played a few rounds each on three maps the other day that were all enjoyable enough, even if the maps still seem unfinished. There probably would already be some polished maps, but for some reason the concept of blocking out levels hasn't quite caught on in the RO/RS community.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:It's astounding the amount of places you can cap a point while still being in cover that are just inside the cap zone. Even more astounding are the amount of people who don't realize this and will charge well past where they need to and get in a dangerous spot and die instead of advancing the cap. You can only cap a point if you have superior numbers than the opposing team, so just going up to the edge of the zone won't make a difference unless you kill the people inside.
