I want the old days back

Got a great new idea for the game?

Do you want configs that let you disable/enable SMG, Shotgun, and airstrikes?

I want the old days back

Postby gammelfan » Sat May 05, 2012 7:32 pm

I have been playing AoS since 0.22 and in my opinion the game have ever since 0.54 only gotten worse and worse. This game used to be WW1 trench warfare with random maps, but now it's just Call of Duty with blocks.

All i want is configs that let you disable/enable SMG, Shotgun, and airstrikes.

this would be a server option though, not a user option. And nothing about this really says cod not to mention there was no .22 that i know of... plus the fact that sooooo much more happened than 2 guns being added.

This is not even close to CoD. Does it have killstreaks? Many weapons? Mic support? No. Does it have sprinting like CoD? Yes, but who gives a shit? I'm sick of you nostalgiac people, no offense, I mean I get you miss the old days but you really have to note that this game didn't start out finished, or in the final version, and if you didn't expect huge changes, then you were fooled.
Anyway, I agree with the disabling... the two guns that were added. But... aren't airstrikes a mod?

What he meant was that the game has gone more and more away from it's original idea, closer to being CoD. Sprint is completely useless, and i can't think of any possible scenario where it actually would be helpful, so why was it added, you ask? Becourse traveling for 30 seconds to the enemy's side took too long, says the generic 12-year old CoD fanboys that leech off this community like parasites. Infact that's what they are; Ticks in today's gaming industry's nutsack.

Look at minecraft's early versions and compare it to what we have now. A lot has changed, but the basic structure has been left untouched. I guess you already get my point.

Anyway, I agree with the disabling... the two guns that were added.

Might as well leave them, becourse 99.9% of maps are now crap like pinpoint; You can't dig, the whole "terrain" is just completely flat. That is the kind of terrain the current weapons are designed.

But... aren't airstrikes a mod?

yes.

I don't know why this isn't in the do not suggest list but oh well, leaving it here anyway.

P.S, I doubt Ben would want to remove ANY features of the game any time sooner, but good luck.

Considering Airstrikes are a piespades feature to begin with, just start your own server and disable the weapons yourself.

>Sprint is completely useless
You suck at sprinting, then, as it helps me traverse a map MUCH faster.

Bad maps are not the fault of AoS, they're the fault of its players and hosts. I don't like it either, and avoid such 'sniper fodder' maps like the plague unless I'm playing TDM.

THERE IS NO POINT IN TRAVELLING THE MAP FASTER

It really doesn't take that long to run into the enemy base "normally", and people who sprint around crazy tend to run into an ambush that i could see from afar, becourse i have more time to scan the surroundings while moving slower.

You could probably make your own server if you are that passionate about it, disable all weapons apart from semi and dont add in the airstrke script, witch im sure would be possible with psyspades. im sure you would get a reasonable sized playerbase on it (with all the mirserly old timers out there :P)

Yes because you totally want to take the intel to your base nice and slow.
And I feel you are not playing AoS as much, because saying sprinting is totally useless is blasphemy. Here are some uses:
1) Getting to the intel faster
2) Turning in the intel faster
3) Escaping clusterfuck of gunfire
4) Dodging crossfire

I'm sure there's more, but I hope that seals the whole "sprinting sucks" situation.

Now let's see your "uses"

1) Getting to the intel faster

Rather; "Getting shot while making a stupid attempt to take the intel by yourself, relying completely on sprint". There's other, MORE EFFECIENT ways in taking the intel, such as digging a tunnel underneath it.

2) Turning in the intel faster

Miss-spelled "Making a pathetic attempt to run away from the enemy, leaving you completely relied on your team-mates, who most likely will let you die and take the intel themselves"

3) Escaping clusterfuck of gunfire

"Revealing your position to the enemy, due to sprinting making a lot of noise and being forced to stand"

4) Dodging crossfire

Why would you ever run out of cover when there's enemy soldiers shooting/aiming at you? You're propably one of those kids who run straight into the no-mans land, and then whine when riflemen pick you off.

Ben could just release "Classic" version and everyone would be happy. And since there's a rumor that AoS will cost money after 1.0, classic version would be free and available to everyone.

you really do suck at pressing the shift key if this is what happens to you when you try to use it.

I use sprint to get out of tough spots.
Like 4 enemy's going to investigate the mountains that I shoot from.

Lehma, learn how to sprint. I can't count everytime this has helped me.

1: Getting to the intel with sprinting is better than walking. Why? You have a tunnel to the enemy base, so you walk through it? Heh good work.

2. Getting away with sprint while having the intel IS SO MUCH BETTER. Instead of being killed by the enemies who RESPAWNED that I just killed. That's right. I don't walk away just to be sniped.

3: Getting around the map while sprinting helps if you're safe. Really.

4. I walked up on a base that had enemy rifleman in there tiny sniper windows so I sprinted backwards. Pretty wierd actually

If this game relates to CoD and you flame about it then you're considered an AoS fanboy by CoD players. Reversed situation! I have nothing against both games. Or any other popular FPS. (Counterstrike, Battlefield, TF2, Crysis1-2) Not even Minecraft and its "Clones". All of this game flaming makes me think worse of this community, because they cancel out decent suggestions JUST BECAUSE it somehow relates to CoD and others. Not all FPS games can come up with its own original ideas since they're all taken by other FPS games. Ugh. Saying sprinting is bad, have you even used it? Not to burst your bubble but here is a list of FPS shooters that have sprinting JUST LIKE CoD: CoD, Battlefield, Borderlands, ArmA2, ArmA, and since I'm sleepy so I can't think of more. Pardon the anger. I'm just so sleepy. But Lehma, really this isn't the game for you if you whine about the features. I just adapt to the new features. *Goes to sleep* OH The game flaming part was for the community too. Lehma just related to CoD. One thing I agree with you though Lehma, I like how simplistic this game was/is. Because I became addicted to it and played everyday. x.X *Sleeps*
