0.7 Very Early Impressions

VipersGhost · 12-31-2007, 05:43 PM

1- Zatar wetlands looks fun now...waay different.

2- Choppers can drop like a rock at times, very nice but you gotta get used to it.

3- Recoil system is nice! No more sticky recoil, but its still kinda there for full auto and 3rb which is real *snick* nice clark.

4- GET A RALLY and BUNKER ASAP. Maps are big and slap d1ck SL'ders who don't care about rallys will be hurting. The whole team "should' be pretty focused around building bunkers/firebases as they will be extremely necessary imo.

5- No more insta-headshots I think...deviation seems really nice/natural and not over the top.

6- No mini-map and insta-map. I didn't know how big of a deal this would be but WOW. I found myself time and time again regrouping with everyone to keep some cohesion, in a good way. I really really like what this brings to the squad play.

7- Spotting system gone, its cool in that it requires your squad to get together and be in sync to be effective...not just kill the red dots. It can be a little difficult to locate the bad guys but in a good way. VOIP is EXTREMELY neccessary.

So far so good, the new maps are gorgeous. I haven't been in any big games yet but the new changes sure do bring things together...I'm interested in hearing how everyone on IGI's server has been playing (it's full). To me it seems like there are some BIG motivations to teamwork now, good stuff.

I've only played a round as SM on EJOD and some time as Commander on Qwai, and I already LOVE it!! The new M16 is so friggin sexy, especially the iron sights. I love that the SL- spawning is gone; now the SLs actully uses the officer kit because it's vital for survival.

Ghost1800 · 12-31-2007, 05:55 PM

... how is the new M16 in terms of handling? How does it fare against the other assault rifles?

VipersGhost · 12-31-2007, 06:04 PM

handled great, felt like the L85 but I like the M16 site better...more visibility. Not sure as to its effectivity as I haven't played enough.

Sweet!

INSANE recoil on the g3. holy shit dude that thing is a beast.

Love the M-16. Is now my favourite gun, even beats my slightly biased fondness for the L85
