Hey at least they are getting a heads up, valve nerfed bunny hopping with the cs 1.6 patch out of the fucking blue, and it really decimated the tfc communities skills, as many of the best left the game.
Battlefield players don’t play battlefield though. CoD kids do.
They added class customization and crazy weapon unlocks. Optimized for “battlefield moments” instead of “using your brain.” They need the game to be adhd friendly which left no place for the Commander system. Reloading was changed to be magic per-bullet bullshit instead of based on magazines. They’ve cultivated a culture of “look at those buildings collapse, man I hope the next battlefield is like a Michael Bay movie, oh man it’s like battlefield 1 we’re so back”
If new battlefield games are fun for you then you are more like CoD kids than people who installed realism mods for 1942.
I mean this genuinely. Do people really struggle that much with movement shooter? The first time I played TF|2 I felt like a fish in water. To be clear I'm not good at most shooter just specially Titanfall 2. I place top 2 almost always after a few warm up rounds after bit playing for months but I try and play counter strike and I genuinely am lucky to get 1 kill in casual.
I don't so much struggle as not enjoy it. It's not what I'm here for. Kind of like if I go to an acoustic gig and there's dubstep. Nothing wrong with dubstep but it's not what I was in the mood for.
It’s an interesting game and it has some good ideas, but it’s incredibly janky. I’ve seen single devs develop games in less than a year that have better animations.
But despite it’s rather dated look and it’s clunky controls it does have a very large map and a large play account per map. That’s quite attractive to some people.
Although personally I suspect people are going to come up with a better version of the game in battlefield via portal.
It would probably be cheaper and easier to buy the cheapest copy of EFT and mod it with SPT and FIKA co-op compared to paying full price for battlefield and having to mod that INTO tarkov.
I’ve been reading a lot of comments that make it sound like portal is a new thing, but it was in 2042 too and was incredibly underwhelming. Did something new happen with it that I don’t know about?
It is a looter shooter (a shlooter, if you will) cranked up to 11. Since now you need to actually be vulnerable while you spend time sorting through the loot pinata you just shot rather than holding a button to vacuum up all the purples and oranges.
And when you get into an actual gunfight with someone, it genuinely feels like you are in a big budget “prestige” action film as you play cat and mouse, barely miss someone, take a shot to your chest plate, and are frantically trying to wrap a bandage around your arm while listening for footsteps or, even worse, a grenade.
Then you add the humans into the mess and it all goes to shit. Because now? They know where everything that matters for progression is on a map and just camp it. There is no gunfight because they are just aiming at where you head will be when you bend down to get the key you need to unlock a vendor.
So then you need to watch a bunch of videos online to learn where the popular camping spots are for every extraction and objective. Which means THEY need to watch videos to learn where to hide to camp those anti-camping spots and so forth. And, because Tarkov is so hardcore, nobody has any maps or compasses and you need to memorize the layout of every single map visually.
And if you DO luck out and actually get one of those gunfights? Yeah… the other person has been playing the game for 90 hours a week and has L5 body armor that you literally can’t penetrate without half a mag. And they have thermal scopes and armor piercing rounds that shred through your plate carrier instantly.
And that assumes they aren’t just hacking where you get the telltale sound of a burst going from between the center of your head to just above it as your body falls before the audio shuts off.
All that said: Tarkov with the SPTarkov mod is actually fucking amazing. Although you still have the problem of needing to memorize maps because paper maps cost a lot of money and take up slots because The Failed State That Is Totally Ukraine doesn’t have photocopiers or even scraps of paper to jot down landmarks on while staring at one of the few maps in The Legally Distinct And Much Less Interesting Zone.
Another fun tarkov-ism. Because the game is so realistic, you have no idea if you are injured unless you bring up your inventory screen or have suffered a catastrophic injury. So you basically have to bring up the inventory screen any time you hop off a ledge or go through the bushes in case you broke your leg or got snagged on some barbed wire and need to apply a tourniquet.
Star citizen isn’t an example of an open beta that got stretched out. It’s an example of a scam.
A game of similar scope to star citizen is starship simulator, except that isn’t a scam and, oh look, it’s making surprisingly better progress (there still isn’t anything to actually do in it yet but it’s much further along in much shorter period of time). You can tell it isn’t a scam because people aren’t being asked to pay extra to access some more unfinished content.
SIT has been discontinued, but Project Fika is the currently active branch for co-op play. I just haven’t used it recently since the headless option is a pain to set up.
I host all of our groups stuff on my dedicated server, but I looked over the info last night and it spells it out really easily for headless. SIT didn’t do anything in the way of helping so this should be pretty straightforward.
Maybe it’s my particular setup - I use Pterodactyl Panel to manage docker environments - but I remember repeatedly banging my head against the proverbial wall trying to get it to work, quitting after 3 days.
Yea that might be a bit of a pain. I just run a 2022 server on my old TR setup. I don’t have time usually to mess around with more than that currently. I just want shit to work when I get time to game.
They spent the past month or two making this a wipe for ultra sweaties (Flea Market doesn’t unlock until level 80 or some nonsense) so that only the most diehard of fans are playing and they refuse to accept that the game they spend 90 hours a week watching other people play has problems.
