The small differences in time to kill across weapons (especially in CQC) means that said event requires your reaction speed, accuracy, and bullet velocity to be so close to par with one another (especially at close range, we're talking <100ms) that such swaps take place. Don't get me wrong, it can legitimately happen quite a few times...but as much as it does in this game? C'mon now.
I don't think anyone wants it taken out completely; if it was entirely legitimate, then so be it. I still can't help but compare it to CS, where trades are EXTREMELY rare, which is seemingly appropriate given the small chance of it legitimately taking place. Of course, bullet velocity and other mechanics are quite different (or non-existent) there, but the hit reg is still a hell of a lot more consistent / precise than what we're dealing with.
Wait what?? I was playing Quake 1 on a 9600 Baud modem for God's sake over Kali and it worked flawlessly, staying connected all the time. Correct me if I am wrong, it has been a while, but didn't Quake also have Z-Axis as well? Now I have a 50 Mb Cable connection to my house. Sure, there are plenty of more servers and traffic - but this shit also worked in alpha and beta remember?
Games that were just as complex for the computing power the developers had with limited communications and VERY limited bandwidth/internet at it's infancy? Yes.
You may want to check out the SA PC thread. In the meantime, you have EA/Dice themselves apologizing their asses off and still patching all 5 platforms on a continual basis, than outright lying saying they stopped DLC development, which is a bigger sham than the old tried and true alpha excuse from BF3, "This is an old build of the game" At least we agree EA is Satan.
You're a retard. Quake didn't have head/body region hitboxes. Also the entire environment was completely static.
Quit trying to make excuses for these assholes. Jesus Christ. As I stated, looking then to now with computing power and internet/server traffic, it was amazing what they did back then, yet somehow it is lost on these fly by the night assholes (EA) Oh, and don't give me this hit box shit. I was playing BF1942 flawlessly, I played Battlefield BC2 flawlessly (360) and this one was just a horrible fucking experience from a technical perspective. I cannot believe anyone without being paid $5.00 per post would be excited about their new upcoming star wars game - because if they can't get this shit to work, how the fuck, are they going to get that to work?
You don't even need to shoot it, as soon as the vehicle moves they explode.
The wording is lame, they don't kill infantry. You can place them on walls that tanks pass by and they will trigger, lots of drivers look for mines but not SLAMS.
Alright now you are pissing me off and it's time for a fucking history lesson. Listen up wiseass. You are entering my domain and remember it like yesterday.
What the * Fuck * are you talking about? You are obviously trolling. The rest of the internet worked completely different today then it did in 1996. Or Christ, even in 1991 connecting to BBS's and running fucking doors.
Oh Christ on a cracker. Exponential my asshole. What we did back in the early 90's with limited communication and emerging online gaming technology blows away anything that comparably can and should be done with today's horsepower if this industry wasn't full of scum sucking dollar-leeches. And you fucking know it so don't start. The problem here isn't the technology, it's the inetptitude fucking behind it. DICE is a shell of itself, EA is EA, and had this title been in the hands of a decent developer who had a clue and wasn't piping down unattainable deadlines causing faulty lines of code every other trip wire we wouldn't have seen this shit-hole of a launch.
A Company the size of EA couldn't make it either. I would put more faith in 5 peoplel who knew what they were doing than 700 employees cross teams in an overbloated processed to hell and back organization like EA which cripples the design process and ships out this pile of shit. Don't give me this "complex" fucking garbage. Games were complex when you are trying to figure out how to use two viable memory streams concurrently from the same source to utilize a better gaming experience. Here they had all the horsepower in the world to fuck around with, and this abortion comes out. (Next gen and PC)
Good. So you know David who invented Capture the Flag in Quake correct? Went on to make Metroid Prime with Retro and now with Valve?
Quit being a fucking apologist.
Quake: 1996. 56k modem: 1997.
Yeah the SLAM + RPG is how I always kill vehicles as an engineer. I thought this was pretty standard.
Quake sucked on 56k. Highspeed connections improved gameplay and gave you such in edge in multiplayer than the neckbreathers started calling people with cable modems low ping bastards.
