C you're assuming squad spawning is far up the tree. It may be, may not be. But even if 10 guys naked with knives spawned behind you they'd still kill you before you could get all of them

From the redit Q&A with Higby:

"Squad spawning is really tricky to balance, no doubt. What we haven't talked about are things like the requirements to do it (needs a relatively advanced spec'd squad leader in your squad to use) and it will be on some kind of cooldown based on the squad leader. It's definitely not designed to be your primary respawn method.

I don't see how anyones answer would be anything other than excited or undecided. Even people who're excited should be leaning towards undecided. I heard it's awesome to form full opinions about games no where near release on still somewhat vague information.

What would 2 months matter? I'd still feel the same way, don't like a lot of what I'm hearing but willing to give it a try.

Basically, this thread is a clusterfuck of premature assumptions as to the nature of a game no one's actually played.

And p0int...

Someone email me when something interesting and worthwhile comes out again.

PS: On one hit kills:

lol, remember stuff like this?
CS - Awp ace - YouTube

Watch.

What the hell is up with this? That's just a tantrum. You yourself could rip that bullshit to pieces if someone else had posted it.

A - Smed said in one of the videos you spawn in a drop pod like the PS1 HART, not instantly on the player. So you would see/hear it if they spawn close enough.

B - Make it so if the current SL uses his, everyone in the squads goes on CD too. So you can't promote someone else to do it or reform to do it.

C - See PsychoXR-20's post above with Q&A quote

Ah yes, if they make it a drop pod and have everyone go on cooldown, that'd prolly work.

I rest that case.

Talek Krell · 2011-09-11, 05:22 PM

The drop pod has the added bonus of completely ruining any attempt to hide, so yeah, I think the drop pod and making it a shared timer will be the difference between this working and the Bad Company 2 method where somebody crashes a heli into the enemy base, hides behind a crate, and then just shits out assault troops.

Heres the thing: Its just as valid as Hamma's (or anyone elses) speculation that PS2 will rock. IMO, thats what it boils down to atm.

Oh, and I enjoy seeing fanboys rage (Hi Basti, others) and attack me personally.

Tl;dr: I don't give a damn enough to entertain people with better arguments, because otherwise their brains might melt under the sheer weight of logic explaining how completely fucked up Smed and Higby are with their concepts.

Again, message me when something worthwhile comes along. I might go play WW2OL instead. That at least isn't shit.

A PS1 server can support somewhere between 2500 and 5000 people so I would expect that a single cont in PS2 must be able to hold somewhere around the 1500/2000 limit.

Those sorts of numbers will make the game tons of fun and with no lattice means that no base will be safe

Aren't TL:drs supposed to be *shorter* than the main part of the post? =P

The existence of forums go back as far as Ancient Rome itself. The fact you are mad that I have a differing opinion can infact be considered a good thing. That is the purpose of a forum - a place to exchange differing ideas, conduct commerce, political debate, etcetera - and always has been for the last several thousand years.

And while these days we do this via the interwebs, which sadly didnt exist back then... the purpose and reasoning for attending a fora remains the same.

Deal with it and learn to live with the opinions of others. While you might say that I should do the same, I say I already do... despite mocking you for yours. Thats another purpose of a forum, by the way.

Again, if you disagree with me: Good, let us pit our opinions against each others... and be better for it.

basti · 2011-09-11, 07:04 PM

The thing is: You dont have an opinion, your just running around screaming "ITS WRONG" without explaining WHY or how to do it different.

I'm really going to miss free form inventorys...
