Re: 'Gameplay' Queries
...Otherwise the fans would get confused.
Understood.
Weak spots are a realistic avenue ..tho still , killing a vehicle in 1 shot is very bad for teamplay. Weak spots would obviously be weaker ...just not that weak.
Definitely disagree, but I don't suppose it matters whether or not I agree.
Also , dont forget , there are other ways in balancing... if you take an ATAT for example ..a weakness that has against other vehicles is its one slow and sluggish mutha.
Indeed, there are other ways. But again, great caution. Seems that often the 'other ways' aren't enough.
PS. Are you related to Woodrow by any chance?
Do I write like him or something?
Indeed, look at the trouble you're having going over the antiquated "features" list already.
I present that the reason for which I have 'trouble going over the features list' is almost entirely because of the NDA. The other potential part would be that it just hasn't been updated in a while. But, I'm led to believe that your NDA requires that you not update it because the classes aren't yet set in stone. So, you seem to confuse or present false information without the intent. But it's all only a matter of satisfying the curiosity, something that isn't so important, so it really doesn't matter I suppose.
Rule one of developing is to never promise something you may not deliver
Of course, but that doesn't mean you can't state your intents with more clarity and concreteness, if you get my meaning.
I wouldn't have a problem with killing vehicles in one shot if you can also kill players in one shot, ten again that might be a bit too realistic.
Well, going off of 2142, it's generally four or five-ish to the body or two to the head, and given the fact that the nature of the combat is fast-paced, it's almost as if it were one shot. And of course, it's one to the head with a sniper rifle, two to the body. I think Battlefield 2 actually did it a lot better with the non-sniper/non-pistol weapons, where one headshot was a kill. Only makes sense.
So, yes, one shot would be too realistic for infantry, but what you perhaps don't realize is that the weak-points on vehicles are perhaps just as fragile if not more than the weak-points of an infantryman. All that gasoline and stuff...hit by a rocket-propelled explosive...you get the picture, yeah?
Most of what you said could have been asked in 3 sentences, makeing it easier for fools like myself to decpiher and give you a question.
Mmhmmm, mmhmmm. Is it sad that I'm aware of it?
...The thing is that although I can and do ask questions clearly and concisely, I often think that I'm not. Part of that is because, in the past, my meaning has often been misinterpreted or missed completely. But I often get the feeling that although I've said my meaning, it won't be received. Hence, lengthy and perhaps unnecessary explanations and presentation of examples wherein I try to break it down Barney-style.
However after saying that Your posts are some of the better posts on these forums
Well, thank you!
