Infantry Line's? - Page 2

I know it was just to showcase the game and the reasons why you shouldn't. But still want to see some people pull it off now and then. Specially if its like 50+ people.

Nobody would ever be able to pull it off, unless they are fighting against an enemy 10 times smaller than them, and even then their losses would be horrendous. All it would take is one liberator and the entire group dies in seconds. Or a sunderer charging them from the side, or a sniper shot from the side, or a GG, or any aircraft with rocket pods, or a small group of engy turreters, or 10 Max's with AI weapons.

P.s. I love Mount & Musket, and I used to do line battles in the 92nd. I know it's not really relevant, but it's relevant enough for me

This approach I think would work with tanks, since they are so large and cumbersome it would be harder to set up and fire effctively from cover.

Yeah not Magriders though, those things need some space to move!

Besides being a big target it would have some psychological effect to the enemies and of course feeling like a badass.

How many outfits plan to make use of this tactic and how often? Or how many times are you going to try to organize it

And doesn't just apply to infantry, say what you will do with vehicles as well. But I see it being naturally more popular with aircraft using this tactic than tanks or infantry.

We're you born yesterday and can't tell the difference between marketing and final product?

Game is going to play exactly like COD, except on a bigger map. How organized does COD battles look like? Question answered.

Play exactly like CoD? Exactly what game is it you think you are talking about?

I know this is all sci-fiy, and COD is like historical and stuff, but a FPS is still a FPS especially when they both have the same spawning mechanics, yeah.

So you mean that since it has guns, and is played in first person it will play like CoD?

Ok, I can atleast understand that reasoning.
But theres more than guns and looking through a duded eyes to an FPS.
Theres tempo, for one. CoD plays very different from TF2, and both of those play different from Battlefield.
Then theres TTK, time to kill, which is very different from game to game. Halo is not like CoD in this respect, for example.
Then theres weapon performance, recoil, reload time, grenade mechanics and a whole bunch of other stuff that make these games stand apart and play totally different.

Don't underestimate the impact the scale of PS2 will have on gameplay. It's not going to feel like CoD, BF3, Halo or any other FPS on the market precisely because of how these factors align.

So no, it's not going to play like Call of Duty. Not by a longshot.

Heh, we are mostly gamers, when we see people lined up or bunched together, we don't panic, we see multi-kill.

You overestimate the effect scale has on game play in a FPS game, in fact map size effects game play very little in FPS games. You got CTF, and you camp the spawn, there's really no difference between Quake/DOOM/PS/wwiionline/COD

Why are you such a pessimist in every time you post?

MOO3, DirectX Surface Unavailable
Star Wars Galaxies, dumbed down
Diablo 3, dumbed down
Star Wars prequels, dumbed down

I'm not pessimist, I'm a realist
