Meh. I got around to playing the game for a bit today, and it really isn't very fun. It has a few nice features, but in the end, it's just another HL realism mod. One of the best, but still rather bland.

One of the best? Hardly. Tell me a world where the fastest you can run is 4 feet a second(thats sprinting!), and ANY gun is that inaccurate. I'm sorry, this is a sorry excuse of a mod. Not to mention the glow effect once again does not work well at all, reducing even the best cards to not-being-able-to-handle-it. Then theres the problem of the worst animations I've ever seen, bland skins/models, most of the maps don't have detailtextures like they are supposed to(When I enabled: "No textures found to have detailed textures"- that means they aren't there folks. So I'm not just some idiot.) The team select system is royally screwed too- you can flood one team with 3 extra people, then when anyone else tries to join, they do the same thing on the other team because even when you have 2 more people than the other team, it still thinks the other side is until some point that no one knows.
Man, and I really, REALLY wanted to play this thing, and have fun with it.
Oh, and btw- CS is more realistic than this. This mod is actually more of what I call "Wannabe-Realistic", where they think all guns in real life are unrealistic, that just because you are carrying 100 lbs of stuff on you means you can't move very fast(why the hell'd they go through boot, idiots?), that recoil is like a MG42 without a bipod for a pistol, and where taking out a grenade takes a whole minute.
I'll stick with America's Army- at least it tries.

no, quau, there is no sprinting in the game. that's RUNNING. and if you look at the relative speed, it's about the speed a normal person can run. i'm sorry if it isn't like counterstrike where you can walk silently at 20mph :\
-inaccurate: which gun? accuracy was increased in most. -glow: try blur_steps 1 -animations are being worked on.. :\ -models: the weapon models are good <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> -maps: hi_alandalus has detailtextures, and many more will in the next release (which is soon). FFS, that's on the frontpage :\ -team select system: it works just fine.. i think you had some kind of fluke. i've never encountered any problems with the team select system, and i play this game a lot.

Uh, sorry bud. I'm only 16, but got to try out the whole armor and stuff like that, that they use these days, every piece, with a weighted fake gun, to see. I could STILL go faster than that. And so thats the run button? Okay then, well, I just don't see where they get their founding unless they were 5'6" and haven't eaten in 3 days and haven't done more than sit in front of their computer for a year, letting their muscles deteriorate.
The gun I specifically had lots of unaccuracy with was the M16. It was just ridiculous- I'd shoot, and it'd be way off. Everything was pretty bad.
The gun models are okay, but I was speaking more of player models. They just....ugh.
I'll try the blur_steps 1 thing.
And when it comes to the animations- That needs to be worked out before 1.0, unless the game is at least fun. This isn't in the least bit.
They DIDN'T say EITHER time I d/led that only 1 map had detail textures. I read that whole front page, and they edited it a LOT during that time between my first and second d/l.

it's a tactical run, man.. there's no sprinting in this game.. it doesn't belong. you can't sprint in raven shield, either.. (also, i don't mean to be a d!ck, but where in the hell were you wearing "armor and stuff," "every piece," with a weighted fake gun.. o_o!?)
M16: my grouping is just fine, to be honest :\
and as for it being fun or not.. well.. i think it's fun. and plenty of other people do.. so i think it's more "i didn't think it was fun" than "it's not fun at all </100% scientific fact>"

Well, it wasn't fun for me, I'll say that much. And Zig, look at AA:DR, its a tacshooter, and has sprinting, though you must disengage your ability to shoot to do it.
And I did it at a "Army Rally" thing. All I know was, is they allowed you to do a ton of stuff, ranging from getting dog tags to actually shooting a M16(though it was attached to the piece with a bar to allow recoil, but it could not be turned any way but at the wall it shot at). A lot of fun <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I personally like it, it's fun but you have to have patiences inorder to play it, and if you have your cl_blur_steps set up correctly (best to have it at 5 or below)
Good Lord, when I step sideways, it seems I can magically glide without moving my legs...other than that, it's ok. Will try more today. Ironsights are interesting, as are some of the maps (bigger than needs to be it seems).
Hmmm, I haven't played that mod since a friend and I went on a server and starting TK'ing loads of people just for the heck of it. I think it was on some Seattle server lol.
I think i'll stay back for a lil bit longer hahah. Not like I really care for it though =x

OFP is a tacshooter too, and it has not only a sprint ability, but a long-distance running ability..
sprinting isn't in HI or raven shield because they're both built for smaller areas of combat.
