[Ignore Me] #18 | ||||
Plus I have faith that the developers will improve things eventually. I am very pleased with their most recent announcements.
Though I hate to use it as an example, Counter-strike is extremely popular because it is so dependent on skill. Anyone can pick up a weapon, point it, and shoot it at someone, but the real pros know how to control their fire with specific weapons (as they all differ) and get headshots frequently due to their exceptional aim built up over lot's of practice. You can play it for years and still get better at the game. For most of Planetside's weapons, if you used them for years, you'd probably be pretty bored with it after a while. If Planetside didn't have weapons which were so easy to pick up, point, shoot, and get kills with despite having little skill yourself (HA weapons chiefly), I think it would be better. |

Anyway, this thread is derailed, and I apologize for that. Let's try to steer it back to your ideas and away from my opinions. |

![]() I agree people play counter-shite for the perception of skill, which is more of a requirement than Planetside (due mainly to the fact that if you don't get better, you spend most of your time watching those who are). But personally I see that as a plus as well as a negative. It means the game is more fun and accessable to more players. If people brag about kills then I let them brag because I frankly couldn't care. I have more respect for an ANT driver than tank gunner, an advanced medic than a HA user. But you always need cannon fodder ![]() I don't mind adding weapons, like deployable heavy weapons, artillery pieces and things like that which would be easy to use and get kills from as long as they required team work to accomplish, and have weaknesses which an opposition team would be able to counter. I don't think the thread is entirely de-railed, since it's on the discussion of should we be implementing artillery pieces. |

Warborn wants more UT2K4 in his PS.
Anyone can use a rocket launcher of Flak Cannon. But when you can get insane kill streaks with it time after time, youve gotten good with it. And holy shit, I love the UT sniper rifle. HEAD HUNTERRRRR

mmmm redeemer...
![]() Anyway... I was thinking about the whole artillery thing and I think it wouldn't be so bad to have some more artillery in the game. Personally I don't think towed artillery will go in, simply because you might as well use the self propelled stuff. You'd also need to put in a lot of code to get the physics of pulling something on a towbar right. But adding self propelled stuff which is easier to get than the flail, but far less powerful wouldn't be such a bad idea. As for the artillery firebase, you'd have to put them within range of existing bases to make them worthwhile, since in planetside the only thing that people fight over, apart from bridges, are the bases. |

This is a previous thread that was discussion the idea of portable, crew serviced machine guns, self-propelled & towed artilery and howitzers. Pictures are included for extra incentive. (very pretty too i might add.) ![]() ![]() as on a personal point, i love artillery, nothing like sitting back in the relatively safety behind some big guns and pound your enemy into submission before getitng in and driving to a new location before being counter barraged. ![]() Fear the Steel Rain Grid-Square Denier!! Ah sorry. I just had to say that. ![]() ![]()

yes. I like that idea too.
Except it isn't energy based, it will be good old fashioned 155mm solid explosive shells. ![]() Though I suppose one driver/deployer/gunner would be all it would need. It wouldn't hurt to put a secondary seat for a puny 15mm gunner/reloader would it? i mean it can be a last ditch defence for it, as it moves...hell you could put a twin-linked 15mm, it won't make a difference as the prowler tankers know far too well.... ![]() p.s: since you mentioned "wheeled" self-propelled artillery, this kept popping up on my scree-erm, mind. ![]() (of course with wheels instead) ![]() But frankly it wouldn't hurt if they have it like: ![]() as90 Braveheart. isn't it beautiful? Leave it to the British to make the big guns! ![]() ![]()
