So the new guys can see right away what are good examples of Bad ideas?

I cringe at the thought of CoD kiddies playing PS running around on PS2 with snipers trying quick scope everything or sitting far back from the battle noob tubing.

Free to play makes it even worse. Someone said on the official PS forums that "F2P games bring the lowest common denominator of player to games" and I couldn't agree more.

I've said it time and time again that F2P is a horrible way to go and depending on a cash shop for your main source of revenue for a game is terrible.

I'd much rather have my grandfather pay a monthly subscription for me and not have to deal with bumbling idiots than have it be F2P.

Subscriptions bring in just as many bad seeds as any other payment model imo.

I think he's referring to the CoD variant, in which you shoot a couple of guys and then get to call down a nuke, or something. Not really big on the idea either, personally.

Crator · 2011-09-21, 06:07 PM

Oh, I was thinking killstreaks were just a visual indicator (as well as a scoreboard stat). I also do not agree with giving someone an extra utility if they get a killstreak. It would be nice to have a visual indicator though.

Talek Krell · 2011-09-21, 06:27 PM

Yeah. Personally I dislike them period (I think they encourage selfishness) but I'm not gonna get all up in arms about some killboard graphic.

Zulthus · 2011-09-21, 06:29 PM

Oh yeah, I thought it was a given reference to CoD when I said killstreaks.

On-screen rewards like pins and ribbons are great though.

Sorry to tell you, but you talk BS.

What kind of players are attracted to a game has nothing to do with the payment model. The game itselfs attracts a certain kind of players, and nothing else.

The only difference F2P does is that it allows those guys who dont want to spend money every month, or simply cant afford that for whatever reason, to play the game as well. And thats a good thing.

Quite funny that you bring up "cod kiddys" as an argument. The payment model has nothing to do with that, its just broken mechanics that get exploited for personal gain, and heck, even we did that in planetside for ages. As example: Early gen killing, Spawn camping, Suiciding to avoid being killed by someone, Third person corner camping, etc. Just list whatever tactic you consider being lame, and there you go.

Also funny that you consider F2P terrible based on no actual argument at all, just your personal opinion.

But good to see you wont even pay yourself...

See? Even the german guy is saying be more inclusive.

I say over all the community here seems pretty open or rather patient, to a point, just don't mention dual wielding, cause then the canes come out
