Indoor or Outdoor? - Page 2

I have to say, it's simply not going to be possible to focus on just interior combat. You have to get inside first, which means at least some exterior combat.

It will be possible to fight solely outside, attacking the base and then repelling the D reinforcements.

I think the game dynamics in play will make playing one or the other highly unenjoyable. You will not have the full "flavor" of the game if such a narrow approack is taken.

I tend to agree, was curious what everyone elses thoughs are

I plan on spending a lot of time outside, in a Reaver or maybe a MAX suit, but I also paln to be one of the people helping take control rooms. So maybe.....80% outside 20% inside.

The cone aiming system works fine, I used it in LW. It takes some getting used to but overall it works.

The "cone aiming system" is in any FPS which doesn't have dead on accurate shots when you fire. If every shot is off by a tiny amount, the farther the shot is away, the wider your shots will disperse. Thus creating a cone.

Comon the weapons are futuristic in this game. Well at least Vanu

Outdoor mostly.

Maybe a little bit of indoor Stealth Ninja knife kills.

I'll do outdoor combat, but only when geting to the indoors. I like fighting with a lot of cover and being able to catch someone in an immoble situation.

Anyone with a suppressor of cycler will be forced in first, that's for sure. Anyone with a really fast weapon will be stuck with indoor attacks. There's no chance of any armor so might as well use the fastest thing available. I'll be going for outdoor mainly, how much indoor combat can there be. It'll probably be ahrder to get to the base and get inside and after getting inside it will probably ease a little.

fighting indoor would really bite if there weren't headshots(please don't turn this into another headshot, then sniper, then sniper vs MAX debate)because if your fighting in close quarters like a hallway only wide enough to have 2 people pass each would turn indoor fighting into a mexican stand off movie were there are people 5 feet apart unoading on each other and the person with the better gun wins automaticly.

It would also depend on how inaccurate one of the people' weapon is and how stable their hand is.

Kriege · 2003-01-04, 08:56 AM

I'll be indoor sniping the outdoor or visa versa

Blitzkrieg · 2003-01-04, 01:48 PM

If i can find a way to get a tank inside a base, I'll also be doing indoor

Ill prolly do what I did in tribes: I think I'm gonna try to specialize in engineering and cloaking. Then I could use the det pack that the engineers get, sneak into an enemy base, and start placing those everywhere and blowing people up. I would also use the engineering cert for building defense inside my bases. Prolly the most time I will spend out doors will be travelling to enemy bases, so I will prolly be spending a lot of my time in doors.
