vBF2 style tips for new guys

AnRK · 11-04-2007, 07:30 PM

Was just thinking after a few peoples newbie bashing in the click to heal medic discussion thing, can we implement a similar system as in vBF2 for giving tips on the basics of PR? So you'd walk up to a RP and it'd give a brief voice over and text message showing how the RP works and it's features etc.

Has a look through already suggested but couldn't find owt. Dunno how much work this might be (I can imagine it might be quite a bit), but I reckon it'd be the best way of showing new guys how stuff works.

I'm sure writing up a few gray help boxes for first timers can't be that hard.

and it is something that REALLY needs to be done

Yes, that would be perfect, people would professionnal as soon as they come in the game. The gameplay would be a little more smooth (exept for the fact that were gonna have grey boxes floatting in front of our faces in a fire fight).
Maybe put them up for a certain number of gameplay time and then they disappear.

Bump! Just wanna know what the developers stance on it is, they've probably already thought of it I woulda thought, what with being the clever chaps they are.

its a good idea but why you need a voice for it.. a voice is really annoying
just some boxes is fine to me
