Re: what grinds my gears
 

i agree with you and i can add a few,

noncookable nades
no ragdolls, or anyother physics....
can not play in dx9 for more then half hour or so.
very little recoil or kickback
the dumb little icons
the gameplay in MP itself (i find it hard to enjoy any of the gametypes)Below
---------
DM-whats the point in it?

TDM- There is no or very little teamwork, its only killing the bad guy but i hardly ever see teamwork in TDM.

CTF- To me its fun but the spawn points are not in the best areas

Hq-I dont play that enough to understand what it is,?.,

SD- Is fun but when you die early in the round and you have to set and wait till the new round to start is no fun

Thats what i think about the gametypes of cod2.''
Could anyone gave me five good things which is fun about DM? thanks

Re: what grinds my gears
 

thanks dirtmann:mad:
I forgot about that stupid annyoning grenade icon that took any ounce of realism that cod2 retained from its previous verison

Re: what grinds my gears
 

No ragdolls, I really miss that. And so much for a next-gen game :uhoh:

Re: what grinds my gears
 

"can not play in dx9 for more then half hour or so."

The above is a system problem as opposed to a "feature" implimented into the game.
I have no problems playing in dx9 for hours at a time.

Everything else is right on the mark.

DM? Never played COD DM...
It does seem pointless.

Re: what grinds my gears
 

s/d and h/q are the only gt's i play--- lots of servers with cookables now---the dm and tdm thing is soooo boring s/d takes teamwork and planning--- dont be a rusher--(thats what we in s/d call the noobs rushing to the objective) just to be nade spammed--Hq was the first mod i played and i like it-- its changed in 2-- nolonger is their one objective but two-- then you have to wait to see what one you need to protect-- its basically taking a point in the map and holding it for as long as possible--or if your on the other team --taking the objective. MUCH funner than dm or tdm

Re: what grinds my gears
 

i thought of some more things that grind my gears :mad:
-the fat german soldier(historically there were none,no one who fights in the army is fat
-the panzer 2 in game instead of the more powerful verisons of the panzer like the PzKpfw III
-the neatly trimed mustash on the german soldiers(against german rules)
-the mg fire rate(not really a problem its just too weak)
-mg Ai(they never kill anything even on veteran mode unless u walk 3 ft in front of them)
-the officers are dressed in parade gear rather than war gear
-for some reason axis only has one war plane the ju87stuka (which is a bomber not a fighter)and a transport plane the condor
-no axis airsupport(WHaT HAPPENED TO THE LUFTWAFFE?)
-you always win with no real resistance no sense of tension
-tanks and halftracks dont storm through the lines keep their distance and relase germans before they get to the front lines instead of charging through-they seem to be there for cosmetic purposes
-no german charges(unless u count thelaughable charge in the russian side which lasted 3seconds or the radically inaccuarate and unrealistic charge of el alemein)
-panzershrek weak blast radius(trivial gripe but still a gripe)
-lack of different stationary weapons such as:
http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com...2041/small.gif15cm Nebelwerfer 41 http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/images/world.gif
-lack of german snipers (especially in ussr levels something the first cod and uo had)
-i mayhave mentioned no russian tank levels!
-luger and british gun from cod 1 looks better than cod2
-took away the flak tank from the first cod 1 level after training
-more linear
-motarers r ridiculously easy to spot (they dont hide or mortor from a far)
-mp-40 rate of fire is mess up should shoot 600 rounds per minute
-no ss troops only waffen
-first 2 cods had lots of friendly causualties cod2 lessened it at least in the ost front
-only 1 short russian charge
-no russian air force or navy(not very big but did contribute to war effort)
-still have yellow flashing icons rather than giving u the weapon -explosvies on tank
tank turret and machine gun very weak against player
- too many smoke grenades- nobodyreally had these especially not the soviets
- the music from the ost front sounds like a cheap rip on music from enemy at the gates
- MG-42 and the 30.cal dont over heat for somereason(mg had arate of fire of something like im not sure but 1200 rounds per sec I think that will heat up alot even in the ussr)
oh and when i cant find the driods im looking for(family gUY)

and thats what grinds my gears-lol
:mad: :beer: :smokin: :eek:

Re: what grinds my gears
 

Rommel34, you're SO right. I can't say anything more or less ;)

Re: what grinds my gears
 

My god... Where to start?

Go play BF1942, get a mod called FH. Infact, going by your post you probably do already.

Don't come to COD expecting vehicles, this is an INFANTRY GAME. Also, it is not supposed to be historically correct. The German moustaches are too neatly trimmed? You honestly care? That grinds your gears? Seriously, FH.



Anyway, onto mine...

• Retarded weapon damage with no realism (But we have realism mods now so that's remedied)
• Red dots upon enemies firing
• There's a choice between the two PPSh's. Just give us one!
• Incredibly poorly optimised DX9 mode. I have switched to DX7 so I can put on 1024x768 and get a good FPS. (50-125, never goes below 50, usually 80) (AMD 64 4000+, 2gb OCZ RAM, Sapphire ATi X700)
• I really don't care about the difference in graphics, because of the confining engine they get so boring, drab and samey that you don't care
• Too many people expecting COD2:UO

Re: what grinds my gears
 

thanks for ur post
yeah i have played bf 1942 forgotten hope a (very awesome mod)
i have no gripes or rants about it
well im just saying that the germans shouldnt have any "moustaches"( yeah i know it was a stupid and trivial gripe but it was driving me crazy)
Even if cod2 focus on "infantry" that doesnt mean that u wont come accross the things i ranted about
United offensive had about 5or 6 different aircraft,8+or-(not sure)tanks
and a few different anti tank guns but most of its levels were infantry levels(sp) so it also focused on infantry (excluding the b-17 level)mp on the other hand was totally tank based unless u joined a non vehicle map( i liked both of them)
in UO on one of the russian levels the ai use different vehicles and stationary anti tank weapons which add more realism and depth to a game especially after seeing the same flak gun over and over and over again in cod2-god i hate that flak gun-lol

After UO who didnt think cod2 was going to have tanks in mp?
Its what made cod So good
remember UO is after all part of cod1

small rant or rather an observation
I just reinstalled UO and COD1 i totally for got they had flamethrowers and bazookas(american)
as well as a .50 cal(not the 30cal) and a anti tank rifle (cod 1)

lol i probably rant too much- just want my 60 bucks back -lol
