The Need for Speed? Ya know...speed kills.

Ghost Recon, while some people cup 'o tea is a perfect example of why the game needs to be fast pased. Ghost Recon is the worst FPS I have ever played simply because you can crawl on your belly for 30 min to sneak up on some guy just to have him blow your brains out.

That's just not fun at all.

It seems that you think because the game is fast pased it will always be cowboy Tribes 1 stlye of play, but I doubt it. I think it'll be more like SoF2 where the action is extremly fast paced, but if you think your rambo your gonna get owned before you know what's going on.

Let me also explain the penelty people get for "Bailing Out of a Galaxy and letting it crash"

1) Your bound to the base it took you 5 min to fly over from.

2) It takes X min for the piolet to be able to get a new Galaxy

3) The entire squad of idots that just jumped out are all dead before the base is taken.

So add it up.....Your at the base, you have no plane, and no way to get back to the fight. I'm sure people will be doing it all the time.

OK, GR was a horrible example, I love that game but I hate it equally. Now I play sof2 constantly, (Look for me) and if that was the gameplay that would be uber. YOu get crouchers and campers all day but doesn't slow it down too much does it?

I do disagree with your steps though, if that galaxie pilot and crew are decent fighters, theyll last long enough to make it worth it. What you are suggesting is that the galaxie pick the guys back up and retreat and heal, I don't see that happening. I think it's just a matter of principle.

My idea for the prone thing was that only the smallest 2 armors could even go prone, just for defense. Other wise those guys are kinda just target practice seeing as how they can't sling the heat with the big boys. I doubt the rest of their squad will stop while they go prone.

That's why the stealth has the cloaking ability, so he doesn't have to fight. Only when he needs to and if he's a decent player then he would rarely fight. Second, the other armor, is for support characters. They hide behind the MAXs and heavies while healing them and their vehicles.

The best game to compare this too in my opinion is battlefield 1942. It's not as complex but its got your basic 6 classes, planes, AA guns, Tanks, jeeps, APC.

It's not fast paced but it's not slow. you gotta be quick and accurate.

But were missing the sense of teamwork in BF1942 but I still remain confident BF1942 is basic framework for planet side.

SO if you feel like your shitty at first person shooter's and you need to get skill's (not like me I've been hooked on FPS since 1991) you should look into getting the demo for this game or just buying it. Should satisfy your taste for blood until planet side. Just don't end up like me violence is a god damn addiction to me. I can't watch a movie unless something blow's or their's some action going on hehe

you can crawl on your belly for 30 min to sneak up on some guy just to have him blow your brains out

reminds me of the sniper in vietnam who crawled inch by inch over grass for 3 days living off ants, and only moving when the wind blew, and as much as the wind blew(to not alert the enemies), to advance and get a shot off on an officer ;-P damn iron will heh


I really really wish they left prone in 8( I dont care if it has stability advantages or not heh, i just like to shoot lying down for the lower profile =p

I would have liked prone also but regardless of how one feels about gameplay there is a graphics engine issue also. The grass and shrubbery in PS seems to be only visble close to your character(in screenshots you never see grass in the distance and you can see greenery "appear" in one of the movies). Someone prone behind some weeds would have there own vision blocked while they would look like they were in the open to someone a 100 meters away, sort of like an ostrich with it's head in the sand. I'm not sure quite why they did it that way but,hey, that grass does look great.

Anyways, crouching behind rocks and stuff gives nearly the same effect as prone.

Unless you're in the middle of the tarmac, in that case grab your ankels and lube up!

[Hamma]

Personally I think Prone would turn this game into hide and go seek rather than a MMOFPS, I think they made a wise decision.

bah, lie down?

should get shot for treason against your empire, thats cowardims =P

So this means I shouldn't get Ghost Recon? It's sad that Tom Clancy "games" can produce amazing things like Rainbow 6 and Splinter Cell, and then have a flop like Ghost Recon. I still want to try it out though

I agree with prone not being in the game, it would make it so much easier to sit in one place outside a base and pick everyone off that comes your way. There should be a little bit more skill to this game than that.

correction. speed does not kill.


its the sudden deceleration that kills.
