Havoc's realistic wishlist

140. Aerial mines

It was doing that because the quote code after the #7 thing was broken. You had /quote] instead of [ /quote]. So the forum closed the tag for you, at the end of your post.

Do they? I guess most of the time they don't work for me :L

140. Holding down grenade will cook it
141. Holding down grenade and pressing the primary fire button (left mouse) will throw it with a large arc
142. Holding down a grenade and pressing the aim down sights button (right mouse button) will underhand/roll the grenade

Have you seen how perfect night time was during the early beta?

Yes. It was hard as hell to see anything. Realistic nights belong in Skyrim or WoW. Not a competitive FPS where the ability to see someone at a distance is the difference between dieing and surviving. Beside that, people would just cheat and raise the gamma at night on a macro while others that don't know how to do that would just be fodder.

143. Disabled landings IE: Aircraft in the red, can have a skid landing. None of that silly drag on floor = boom.
144. Ability to flip ground vehicles via nanites (timer)
145. Ability to deconstruct your vehicle and receive partial resources
146. Killing a player who's a higher BR than you gives more exp
147. A punish and forgive TK system
148. A commend system
149. Dedicated VOIP channels for different organizations
150. Ability to examine equipped weapon (CS:GO)
151. VR training flat targets that light up on damaged parts (ie: where you shoot it glows visibly for a few seconds)
152. Ability to put C4 on enemy players
153. HVT UI for spotted enemies on minimap
154. Whilst cloaked spotting makes no noise
155. Smoke cosmetics for LA
156. Infiltrator voice is hushed
157. Character sounds change depending on the intensity of the battle (ie: small battle = calmed voice, large battle = shouting)
158. Characters cheer after a hex is taken
159. Realistic dying screams (nothing to... eccentric but atm when you die your character goes "uhhhh..." or breaths out loudly... or nothing at all)
160. Vehicles that are flipped upside down don't explode
161. If a player requests transport and you provide it you get exp plus certain unlockables
162. After a hex is taken on the Tab menu off to the side it shows players and notable achievements for that particular battle
163. C4 fairy Title (kill 1000 MBTs as an LA with C4)
164. Flip the T7 mini chain-gun thing looks like a bloody super soaker
165. Change the jackhammer model to an old NC max shotgun weapon model
166. Make the Lasher model a bit more... unique
167. add capturable bridges in between bases
168. Turn some of the areas in between bases into capturable hexes.
169. Flare gun (no not the fireworks gun) emits a large downwards facing darklight radius, only one flare active per player, 3 shots to kill, must reload every shot, comes in faction color, long reloads, and a long animation to switch (other words makes you vulnerable)
170. Secondary melee weapons (longer reach 1 shot kills, not available for infiltrators, come on PS2 is already silly, and besides it would be a handicap towards players who stick with guns.... especially shotguns)
171. Squad/Platoon leader placed Landing UI/marker
172. Updated (not horribly laggy) real-time server territory maps. (update the IOS/Android application please)
173. Tanks make a specific sound depending on where they are hit and with what (such as an acidic melting sound when hit by a VS AT weapon)

as much as i hate super dark nights, there are ways to prevent people from simply pumping up the gamma to see more. some games have people basically lose all texture and blend into the same black muck as everything else. so all upping your gamma does is turn the nigh from pitch black to pitch gray outside of a set radius. so unless an enemy is stupid enough to skylight himself you arent really going to see him.

Well, this is DGB/SOE we are talking about. If they can't be bothered to update their domain/webpage with Daybreak Games within 3 months of becoming DGB then the chances of them creating a night time where you can't just turn up gamma is minimal.

Dying*


Skyrim night time:

WoW night time:

Current PS2 night time:

Proposed PS2 night time:

A dozen or so small things is realistic. A list that spans near 175 is just dreaming, at this point.

I got stuck with C4 just yesterday. Killed the LA who stuck me and moved away, got shot by bullets that hit the c4 and exploded. Wasn't near original C4 location and I didn't get c4'd by some one else I don't think.

Oh I thought they removed that, see there was a fun game in a biolab where we would pop a stick on a low BR player and wait for him to hide back in the spawn room with the other 30 player hiding there and boom. I guess it's the same with me and the AT grenade. Is it only the ability to stick C4 on friendlies removed?

I'm not sure how those quotes apply to realistic expectations or list sizes. Especially considering we have two years of game developement history and recent personnel cuts to consider.

Is it humanly possible to get everything on these lists into the game? Probably, in some form, but it's not realistic to expect everything on a 170+ long list within a reasonable time frame. A list which has a length that is counter to the title of the thread.

In short, my problem is with the amount of things you're listing and not with most of the things being listed.

-1 for being a grammar ****, Comrade.

You proved my point with the Beta video. Since you didn't understand what I meant let me say it again. Immersion belongs in RPGs not competitive FPSs.

First off there are no excuses for being ignorant, second off it didn't prove your point, immersion is a fundamental basis in any video game especially PS2, where you get deeply sucked into the long hours of player filled battles. This is why people get high end rigs to crank the video settings up. This is why PS2 has an amazing abundance of flare, and lighting effects.

FPS games real you in with adrenaline pumping action, (in the case of PS2) making you feel like a futuristic soldier fighting a never ending war across an alien war-torn explosion filled battle field. Darker nights would only enhance that, the explosive effects, projectile glows, base lights, vehicle lights, being stealthy, dark-light flashlights, night vision, infrared, lumifiber, and tracers.

If anyone has played those brutal standoff matches where TR if giving it their all to hold the crown whilst VS push from TI alloys and NC do horrific charges up the hill. Tracers everywhere.

You want the game to become something it's not. You're not worth my time and calling me ignorant because of a typo? That just shows how much of a elitist a$$ you are.
