    lmao, im an experienced pilot in OFP, and the very few times i played BF could never fly a plane without crashing 10 secs later biggrin_o.gif

    The very first time I played BF I found the planes too simple, you can repeatedly loop the loop around the bridges in the wake atoll mission, for example. Too simple - not fun.

    I dont createunit the soldiers because I dont want AI to cause lagg. I createvehicle so I only get the brainless modelles.

    Great test. Try not using createvehicle and see if it lags then.

    Create your 1000 soldiers THEN GET THEM ALL TO FIRE, and see what happens.

    Quote[/b] ]

    I created soldiers at 10 000 meters instead. I think falling soldiers would simulate moving soldiers better than 1000 shooting soldiers would because everyone is never shooting at the same time when you have so many people on the map.

    Thats because YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND FUCK ALL ABOUT COLLISION DETECTION. GO AND LEARN.

    Quote[/b] ]

    Instead of telling me to go read about collision detection, why dont you go read about it and PROVE me wrong.

    No. You're the one who knows nothing about it, YOU go learn.

    If the RPG has a kill radius like in AA it might take out a few guys (maybe the RPG wouldnt explode, maybe it would if you shot it with explosive ammunition tounge_o.gif). How can 50 soldiers with weapons that can be shot put more "strain on the engine" than 1000 soldiers that can be hit? With 1000 soldiers I still have max FPS.

    Just for fun I will no go into the editor and create 10 000 soldiers or more at the nogova airport.

    Would you PLEASE go and find out how collision detection works?

    Create your 1000 soldiers THEN GET THEM ALL TO FIRE, and see what happens.

    Let me guess... you read the sun.

    Do you know why it's illegal? Because tobacco and alcohol companies persuaded the government to make it illegal around the turn of the century. It was legal before that.

    Thats the worst excuse I've ever heard 'its already illegal.' That would work really well as a defence for slavery: its already legal, we don't need reasons to make it illegal.

    DO NOT buy dell stuff unless you like getting ripped off and talked down to like youre some sort of moron.

    Dell - good for people buying their first PC. Bad for value for money. Bad for customer support with anything more advanced than 'check the monitor is plugged in.'

    meh, i knew somebody would get upset over my comment. mention anything remotly negative about their sacred PC's and everybody cries "BLASPHEMY!"

    No, you said the Xbox version looks better. Which was, basically, talking out of your hoop. Some games work better on consoles. Games like capcom vs SNK, soulcalibur (II), streetfighter series etc all work perfectly well on console and wouldn't suit a PC conversion.

    FPS games, on the other hand, are just better on PC. And pointing that out to deluded console fanboys isn't 'getting upset' - its pointing out a basic fact.

    First you say the rocket wouldnt blow up, then you say the rest of the squad wouldnt be close enough to be damaged by the rocket that doesnt blow up?

    Its funny how you say it would lagg as hell. I just created 300 AI soldiers in the game and I still had 60 FPS, except when I looked at them, then I had like 12 or something. If you can have 60 FPS with 300 soldiers I think you can have 60 FPS with 100 soldiers carrying 3 weapons each even if the weapons can be hit.

    -Edit

    1000 soldiers, still 60 FPS.

    I thought it was pretty simple.

    1) the RPG would not blow up

    2) IF it did, which it wouldn't, it still wouldn't kill 3 other guys in the squad.

    I didn't say it would 'lagg like hell' (sic) I said it was too much work for the engine. Then I suggested you learn a little about how collision detection works in games, which you obviously have not done. GO AND LEARN NOW, before you post more nonsense.

    Let me make this clear:

    It COULD be done. It WOULD put a lot more strain on the engine, having to do loads of extra collision detection, which is the MOST intensive thing in the engine in terms of CPU time.

    And I've yet to see a decent reason for wanting it in; something that will add much to the game.

    It would be nice.... but it's not needed, and it 'costs' too much.

    So from what i understand of your post you want to legalise weed?

    So from what I understand of yours you don't think this is a good idea?

    Name a reason weed should be illegal. One that does not apply more so to alcohol or tobacco.

    actually the Xbox verion of Vice City had textures just as good, and the models were better.

    Sir, Are you blind?

    That might look better in braile but in everyone elses vision the XBox one does not look as good.

    I prefer consoles, especially considering the fact that aiming well with the analoge sticks IS possible... Too bad some games just fuck it up, oh well...

    I'll probably buy the game anyway... I love cruising around smile_o.gif

    Consoles are never as good as PCs for FPS. The analog sticks on PS2, and equivalent on other consoles, are simply not as fast or accurate as a mouse. Fact.

    If thats the pistol on a stock with a small tv camera on it, it's been shown here in the past (about a year ago maybe)

    I think it's been shown a bit earlier than last years Eurosatory, on this forum at leats.

    Well, it's beem shown before, and it's almost completely useless. Thats the main thing.

    Water, for example

    erm ... you want to pee after a while if you drink a certain quantity of it ?

    ok, ok, I get out

    wink_o.gif

    Well, its very rare, but some people are actually allergic to water. There's also a condition where water can cause an allergic reaction to their own sweat.

    There was also an episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit where they listed the 'adverse effects' of Dihydogen Monoxide (water)

    Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death:

    1. cause excessive sweating and vomiting;

    2. it is a major component in acid rain;

    3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state;

    4. accidental inhalation can kill you;

    5. it contributes to erosion;

    6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes;

    7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.

    Quote[/b] ]Sounds like a lot of extra work for the engine to do (keep track of new lods and calculations for EVERY SINGLE SOLDIER ..... for what benefit?

    What calculations? Gun is hit, gun is broken, poor CPU!

    If you don't know how these things are calculated, don't jump in with a load of crap.

    Do you know how the engine determines if things are hit? Hit detection is one of the most engine intensive things in the game. Especially if the object is an irregular shape (like a weapon.)

    Go find out how its done, then come back and tell me if you still think its a great idea.

    In principle, yes, it'd be cool. In practice, its far too much work for the server/ PC.

    Quote[/b] ]

    It would be cool if you were a sniper and saw an RPG soldier with the RPG up and ready to fire on a Hummer comign down the road. You snipe the rocket, the rocket blows up

    The rocket would NOT blow up.

    Quote[/b] ]

    and so does the RPG soldier and 3 more in that squad.

    The rest of the squad would not be close enough to the RPG soldier to be killed by it, unless they were badly trained *cough* not mentioning any nationalities here *cough*

    Quote[/b] ]

    You could also make hostage missions where some lone maniac has taken several hostages and you can snipe his gun and arrest him instead of killing him. Guns that can be detroyed cant lag much more than an extra soldier can they?

    1) yes, they could

    2) it'd be as if EVERY SOLDIER was the equivalent of 2 soldiers (or up to 4 if he also had a handgun and an RPG)

    Quote[/b] ]Would be nice if you could have it as a realism setting so you could turn it off in bigger missions.

    Would be nice if we all drove around in gold plated rolls royces. Isn't going to happen though.

    Quote[/b] ]They will have to decide oneday or they´ll stand alone.

    They opposed the candidacy of Guy Verhofstadt, our prime minister, because "He is too anti Iraq". Well what the hell does the Iraq Issue have to do with the EU governement? rock.gif

    Quote[/b] ]"Terrorism will be terminated, God willing."

    Aha..haha... Delicious irony.

    Either he's a christian (what's he doing in the Iraq governement then? Interim, schminterim btw, even the interim governement should represent Iraq to a degree. ) or he said Allah, and it's been translated as God for some odd reason.

    (yeah, I acknowledge that I should know if this Allawi person is a n Iraqi or an American before blurting stuff like this out, but i couldn't resist. smile_o.gif)

    Allah means God. The word 'God' is not the sole preserve of christians. Any deluded people can use it.

    The worst thing about that statement is that it means he's religious in some way, which is bad for government.

    I took it when I went to Malawi for 5 weeks to help build an irrigation scheme, and to teach the locals to teach others how to do the same. The area we were going to was mainly the type of malaria (B?) that larium is most effective against, and we took it for a few weeks before we went to check for ill effects (and continued it for about a month after). AFAIR nobody had anything more than weird dreams out of a group of about 50.

    I'm sure there are side effects. I'm also sure that there are very very few substances on Earth that don't induce side effects in some people (Water, for example, clean pure unpolluted water causes 'side effects' in some people.) I'm also sure that in many cases grieving relatives confuse cause, incidental things, and effect.

    In the case of the guy who shot himself: I'm sure he's not the only person who ever commited suicide. It *may* just be incidental that he was taking Larium. It could be because he ate toast that morning contaminated with something else. It could have any number of causes and to automatically assume Larium caused him to commit suicide is foolish, IMO.

    Look at the rates of suicide and violent crime amongst those who aren't taking larium and who are. Are they higher, or is this just blown completely out of proportion?

    The problem is that a series of pictures meant to be viewed as a series becomes a slideshow of click, go back, click, go back, click, go back, and that people aren't making decent sized images because of this link thing, they'd rather have a picture viewable in the thread than a linked image. Some do have high res versions but not many.

    Quote[/b] ]And speaking of helicopters, we're told that it will be easier to fly thanks to automation for things like hovering.
    Quote[/b] ] It shouldn't get confusing, though, as the flight model is relatively basic,
    Quote[/b] ]he MiG couldn't take down the U.S. jet though,

    Translation - we have dumbed down the game so much that any idiot can win fights by randomly mashing their keyboard.

    Sounds terrible.

    no its not all sneaking about, you even go to hell at one point in the game, Doom keeps to original pricipals of blowing the shit out of demon's just sometimes you can hide in the shadows but the demons can still see you, lol resident evil.

    can i post the article scans?

    Sorry, have you ever played the original Doom? Comparing the two in terms of gameplay is laughable. Original Doom - VERY fast paced, very hard, lots of weapons, HUGE amounts of enemies.

    Doom 3 - ITS DARK! And there MIGHT be two enemies on screen at one time!!!!!!!!!

  24. Posted

    Part of the reason I'm not excited is that this is fuck all like doom. Its resident evil, not doom. Sneaking around in the shadows being all horror? Doom was about gibbing piles of imps and steam demons with the BFG, not this ... stuff.

    Wow. It looks pretty. Meh.
