War of Rights now has a 1776 mode, for a few weeks. So if immersive 400 player line battles sound like something you could enjoy, go for it. It's very realistic, immersive and fun. The community takes the game much, much more serious than those Holdfast guys, it's an experience.
>>63947918 (OP)how much trolling potential is there?
>>63947995Very little, if any.
Sadly, it's very basic, unlike the base game, there's no drummers, no pipers/buglers, no artillery. But it's still fucking great
>>63947995Significantly less then you receive IRL from everyone, especially girls
>>63947995Just play holdfast if you want a line battle era game where you can troll people. It's also fun, but far from being as immersive as war of rights. Sea battles are great.
>>63947918 (OP)>maxresdefault.jpgInaccurate.
The British Army fought deployed in open order, not closed order. At least it's the correct two ranks.
>>63948085Literally unplayable
Trying to get into wargames, got Strategic Command: WW1 and Hex of Steel as intro material
How come nu-/k/ never speaks about stalker 2? Is it that bad? I played for a few hours and it felt just like the original
anyone here played Foxhole?
I want to get into it but only casually and I dont really know if its possible to do so
>>63947918 (OP)World in Conflict. Probably the best story of any RTS game ever made.
>>63950944maybe I'm a retard but it being on UE5 just made it feel like every single other UE5 FPS game in existence
X-ray had its own faults and was janky as fuck but it felt like something unique
>>63950959Worst gameplay of any RTS I've seen in all my days, but the story, though hilariously implausible, was grand. That scene in particular was a real tearjerker.
>>63950959>>63950950>mfw I never expected Broken Arrow to put the same amount of effort as WiC did with their campaign, but was still disappointed with what we gotI just hope that the recent semi-revival of RTTs eventually springs forth a worthy spiritual successor to WiC's campaign.
Funny to think that even if WiC looks barebones in comparison to the highs story-driven games have been proven able to reach, it's still leagues above others in its genre just by virtue of its modicum of effort.
>>63950950Interesting concept, charming art style, dogshit gameplay and a fixed angle POV that makes your neck hurt somehow. Oh, and the busywork is a bigger waste of time than playing a clicker game
>Have map of small fictional country with various locations marked
>Players start with one owned point at opposite corners of the map
>Resources/assets/troops must be moved from point to point by vehicles/foot (visually just an icon moving from A to B)
>Select a point to zoom in and go into RTS mode, each point being a different small map
>Build bases with fortifications and shit like arty emplacements, launch/defend against assaults
>Hold onto points to increase daily budget, lets you spawn more units/resources at HQ point
>90s prerendered art style, ambiguously 80s-early 90s gear/equipment/tech
Am I onto something?
>>63951563I've always wanted a grand strategy game where you can zoom in and see the action on a tactical level.
>>63951534What even is the BA story about? Is it mostly just some Russian power fantasy from the zigger devs or did they tell an entertaining story?
>>63951587There's a crossmod that let's you fight Crusader Kings II battles yourself in Mount & Blade Bannerlord matches
>>63950992Also it's massive file size and huge updates are pretty annoying. Game itself is only fine even with the shitty UE5 performance.
>X-ray had its own faults and was janky as fuck but it felt like something uniqueIt doesn't help that they didn't really try to replicate the OG Stalker atmosphere, washed out colors and constant overcast sky made five the zone a certain vibe. It's night and day compared to Stalker 2 wich feels like just another sunny day in the Ukranian countryside.
>>63951624constant overcast sky gave the zone a certain vibe
>>63951611>in Mount & Blade BannerlordThey made another one?
I knew about the CK3/Total War: Attila tool but M&B 2 is surprising
>>63948059Why settle for an inferior game? Play Napoleonic wars
We are still active
>>63951463>Worst gameplayOh yeah because it didn't go autistically in-depth on vehicles for "muh realism" it sucks. It was perfect from a gameplay perspective and I liked the rock-paper-scissors approach instead of obsessing about cringe realism.
>>63951669Massive hype until its release in early 2020, disappointing number of features cut and day one jank, lots of improvements and fixes over time but at the cost of a lot of good mods breaking. Still feels uncanny and impersonal, lots of wasted potential, gameplay loop gets boring after your first few sieges
>>63951677>I liked the rock-paper-scissors approach instead of obsessing about cringe realism.I bet whenever you roast marshmallows you burn them and pretend you like it that way.
>>63951694You sound like the guy who will spend hundreds of hours on the War Thunder forum. WiC never pretended to be "realistic" and never was. That has nothing to do with gameplay at all. I played WiC to death in competitive multiplayer and had a blast.
>>63950944I played it, it was pretty good. New patch added mutant parts you can cut from mutants and a couple new weapons. I'm just waiting on a few good weapon packs before I start another playthrough. I'll check back in 6 months to a year but if you were waiting for it to be fixed, it is. A-life has been working for a couple patches now as well.
>>63951713Been enjoying the atmosphere as well and exploring again. I still feel the game has some major pacing issues and sometimes it feels like I have killed a small towns worth of dudes just trying to clear some story missions. The inventory, stash space, and loot variety all need significant work as well. As is I will never need meds and food ever again. Many ammo types are too common and others exceedingly rare till late game. The health and status system is a little too basic and could use even a mild increase of complexity.
But the game is still way better than when it came out. honestly surprised at how consistent the devs have been with updates and communication. Here's hoping they keep it up.
>>63951698I'm not allowed to like and recommend something? It's /k/ af and i want more people to play it
>>63951675wait, people actually play napoleonic wars? or do you have to join a discord server and there's one pitched battle a month or so?
>>63950944It feels like a Far Cry game
Being a sniper in reforger is a unique experience
>>63956738Yeah it's fun but it requires a lot of patience, attention and planning to do it properly. I prefer quickly loading up Battlefield for a quick match most of the time.
>>63947918 (OP)I like Grand Tactician Civil War even if campaign AI is suicidally aggressive, wish they would do another conflict like the Revolutionary War or Napoleonic Wars.
>>63956746You are completely correct. I usually take around an hour to get into position but the payoff if things go right is unmatched.
>>63956756Try ultimate general american revolution I liked it and its similar to this game. Bit simpler but with about the same scale.
>>63951463>That scene in particular was a real tearjerker.Imagine EVER not thinking that Bannon was a fag
>>63951463gb2 the vst thread faggot
Currently playing GHPC, has some nice intense moments between the
>WOWWWWWWW HOW DID THAT HAPPEN
moments.
Also, Ultimate General: Civil War, Union campaign of course because I don't play as losers.
>>63950950You can play casually very easily doing frontline logistics and infantry combat but you are locked out of building advanced vehicles like tanks, subs or planes. If you are lucky some clannie might take pity on you and let you ride along as a tank machine gunner or demand you run shells to their artillery emplacement.
It can be very fun but also hell, just like war!
>>63957512He was, it's called a redemption arc.
>>63958124>it's called a redemption arc.>be retard throughout and a war criminal>but because you sacrificed your unit in order to play hero you are suddenly not a retard and a war criminal anymorelol, lmao even, imagine ever not thinking that Bannon was a fag
>>6395676390% of my refroger hours are spent doing logi partisan shit or logi itself. I see both sides of the same autistic coin. The other 10% of the time I join the other bois on the server for general assaults and defences
Ahem,
Play Pike and Shot, one of the very few games set in the pike and shot era!
Hundreds of hours of gameplay await you in the four campaigns, all with their own armies and tactics:
-Gustavus Adolphus campaign, set in the “Swedish phase” of the Thirty Years War, allows you to play as Swedes or Imperialists.
-English Civil War campaign allows you to play as Royalists or Parliamentarians.
-Great Turkish War campaign, set in the period of the famous Siege and Battle of Vienna of 1683, allows you to play as Austria and Poland or as the Ottoman Empire.
-Pike and Shot skirmish campaign allows you to match any two armies from 1494 to 1698 in a struggle for dominance.
It's only £5.54 at Fanatical for the next 36 hours!

Thank you for listening to my shilling.
Seriously, it's fun.
>>63959724I am a sniper because i have no one to play with. If i had a bunch of friends to do fun group shit with i would do that.
>>63959862Thought you meant the tabletop at first. Same name.
I wish this documentary would get remade.
>>63959862never really could get into it despite having 20 hours on it
>>63950944It was a downgrade in nearly every way. stalker 1 was so popular on /k/ because it was a unique shooter with actually competent ai. they tried to surround you and used generally sound tactics that would work irl. this allowed you to act out realistic military scenarios and actually plan battles out. download some mods, and it was one of the best games to live out the post apoc /k/ fantasy. Replace that with god awful UE5 ai, and you have a shitty ubisoft tier fps. it's been dumbed down for a wider audience just like fallout. intense realistic /k/ games will always try to grab beyond that audience pool, and it will inevitably take away from why it was liked to begin with
the elephant in the room is that the devs were in a bombed Ukraine, for like maybe a month before they left. Ukrainians shilled the game hard, ignored the fundamental flaws and downgrades, and then russians made the game out to be a war crime. It turned into a /pol/ issue. It's just an extremely average fps that's very disappointing to the original fans. I doubt the war changed anything about how the game was designed, I just think it was designed with the wrong ideas to begin with
>>63960006Same. Which would be fine if Reforger's squad system would be a bit more convinient, like say Squad or Hell let Loose. But it feels clunky and un-intuitive. I get that they're trying to keep it ultra-realistic, but the realistic call signs, squad structure and radio handling stands in the way of good squadmaking.
I feel like i would need to organize with my friends outside of the game if i wanted to play Reforger as part of a working squad
>>63956738>>63956746Reforger is an amazing game, but they released an optimization update for ARMA 3 recently enabling multithreading and it runs so much more smoothly now, RHS koth is fun for a quick match.
>Arma Reforger saving milsims
>GHPC saving tank vidya
>Nuclear Option saving flight vidya
It's a good year for /k/ gaming. Would love to see War Thunder die this decade
>>63960354>Nuclear Option saving flight vidyaI just wish we got a Strike Fighters 3
>>63960376Ya but honestly mate, nuclear option is pretty fucking good for what it's charging, bonus since it's on sale rn
>>63960445is it playable with mkb?
So what is the veredict on Broken Arrow?
>>63960480how do you feel about attack helicopters raping everything?
>>63960310i agree that it's difficult to get a solid squad in a random server, but it is possible. Requires some social skills for sure and finding the right server, but they need to have more incentive for people to stick together. Radio handling is just incredible though. Love taking enemy coms or cutting towers and fucking with coms in general. One of the best parts of the experience is causing a black out for the other team and knowing they have to fix it or lose.
Now when you get up to 128 and you have too many drunk people it turns to hell. but thankfully you can just turn the radio off at that point.
>>63960513what servers do you play on?
>>63956738Is this game like a first person foxhole?
>>63960470Yes, actually extremely so. It's one of, if not the only flight sim (ish) game where M+KB is just as viable as HOTAS setups. Whoever made it knew what they were doing.
>>63961169I can recommend FARGO and Spearhead for finding people more willing to work together, but they're modded clusterfucks. FARGO is a 'bit' more stable usually, but only by a bit. WCS is good for casual play, but they're notorious for thinking 'milsimmers' are cringe losers. What they want is battlefield but not in battlefield basically. Honestly though, just try servers out, see which ones stick.
>>63961203Tried wcs already and it was a shitshow. Will try fargo.
Really would like a squad for once. Being a lone sniper is fun but everyone shoots you on sight even friendlies because no one likes snipers.
>>63961211Like the other anon said, it's mostly a social game. Just ask in radio and you might get someone respond, or stick around MOB for a bit, usually people ask around there. 90% of teamwork in the game usually revolves around individuals listening to their platoon comms and just moving with the general tide of people. Until they get something more concrete for helping direct people, that's the general you're going to find unless you do get a squad.
>play reforger
>get a lift from a random guy

>>63961228>my faction>everyone is retarded and spams platoon comms with dumb bs>pick up enemy radio>clear concise comms onlyEverytime...
>>63961241I once had a guy who decided to be fucking grade A voice actor material for no reason other than it was funny to him I guess. He took a round to the chest and stomach and started fake gurgling as if he was choking on his own punctured lung. We had ACE medical so getting him back up was hell on earth, especially with the rounds flying over head and constant tank shells blowing half the buildings out around us. I watched him die, gurgling slower and slower until his body limped out, and the guy who I was helping heal him just looked up and said "He's gone, we have to move", he ran backwards to go meet up with friendlies to the west and got obliterated by a machine gun watching the alleyway. I got out, alive, but never the same.
>>63961211WCS suffers from popularity and barbie syndrome. They also dumb down a bunch of core systems and enforce arbitrary rules. It's cool if you wanna look cool and play cool but it's not much beyond that.
Personally I like the limited tech of vanilla and cold war era. So generally I look for those type of servers. Often I play official or look for servers that focus less on the gear and more on expanding core systems and gameplay.
The real beauty of reforger is that there is likely a server out there that has what you want, you just need to find it which granted is the hard part.
>>63961467I usually enjoy straight up or at the very MOST slightly modified vanilla servers, or the completely outright modded ones that keep the arbitrary systems and core components of conquest mode, like supply being a thing people have to do and such.
>hear footsteps
>see a guy
>hear more footsteps
>second guy pauses for a split second wondering "why does that bush have a gun...?"
Reforger has some really tense moments
>>63961211>>63961467I don't know how people can stand the RHS modded servers, they are cool at first, but most weapons sound like ear rape and there's zero balance, I feel like vanilla is a much better experience, but people have to play modded because FOMO.
>>63951598I've only finished the US campaign but the story is basically non existent.
>Tutorial level/the Russians are up to something >3 way invasion from land air and sea. (3 separate missions) >Do glow nigger shit and kill some Russian commander because senator Mcglownigger has Delta on speed dial.>MEU gets mostly snuk, go stick the surviving LHD in a port and take the city back>Go blow up a Russian IRBM battery>Take out some convoys using only helicopters (this one sucks major dick)>Things have somehow gone to shit go accept a bunch of Leo IIs from Europe since wee need armor. (oh fuck they blew them up)>Either go with Senator McGlownigger's plan to throw a greenlight team at a dam and do a test run of how to blow up three gorges dam or follow the general and just bum rush the Russian command post/depot to stop the fighting and not drown three Russian divisions (and the city)Like there's no mission besides the one with the allied Leo's getting bombed where it's a bad end for the US.
>>63960480It's fun when the cheaters aren't cheating. You get a lot more options for units compared to wargame or similar, there's a good deal of goofy build to play.
>>63961708Honestly some of it is just a skill gap. Lots of players are unwilling and unable to learn how to find themselves on the map or their team, or not shoot their team on sight. All the extra uniforms and shit cosmetics don't help. WORSE yet is having everyone marked on the map gives you so much extra info. You can instantly tell when it's contact or not, and ambushes are very easy to identify while just looking at the map in real time. Don't get me started on the oversimplified supplies, the lack of any real meaningful attrition, and the insanely stupid "spending rank" on vehicles system.
>>63960470>>63961186It's very playable M&KB but I would recommend buying an old X45 HOTAS since they're like 50 bucks and they do 90% of what more modern HOTAS like the X56 can do
>>63960480tanks and IFVs are really great, helicopters are great, russian AA is great, infantry SUCKS.
campaign isnt that great but there's potential for good community-made scenarios like the one that remakes WiC. lot of cheaters and deserters though and they never plan to regionlock china. they made the game without even thinking about putting important calculations/code on the server-side rather than client-side, so the chance of them fixing cheating is low.
>>63962327I'm glad they're at least addressing the scenarios being actually online skirmish matches so at least modding has some potential.
>>63962302>Spending rank on vehiclesSee that's something I actually wish they would bring over to vanilla. The insane amount of heli spam, even on vanilla servers is a genuine plague, especially since we have no 'real' counter to them, just jerryrig methods. Having rank be part of the cost would make pilots likely value their helos more and use them for shit that would actually matter instead of CAS running the frontline point for an hour straight. And if they don't and blow through three of em in an hour and lost all that rank? Good, go earn it back.
>>63962387If it actually did anything I would agree. Right now it just slows you down. Not really a solution imo.
Heli spam could be solved with harder limits on supply; like having limited quantities, more hidden locations or player stashes. Expanding on existing resources like fuel, ammo and repair. Most of these are not difficult to aquire and make it very easy to maintain a Heli with minor maintenance.
If you start taking these away or making them harder to get you make it harder to "just buy another heli".
The resources in game have to have scarcity to hold value. Attrition plays into this too and forcing players off of their "airbases" or using ambushes on said airbases can be very effective.
What I'm basically wanting is more complexity of existing resources instead of taking something that isn't a resource and making it into one.
>>63961584It absolutely does. Most of my matches are boring, confusing and time consuming duds tho. But every now and then, there's a grade a experience.
>>63947918 (OP)Going to keep playing Company of Heroes 1 and 2, 3 is okay just not my cup of tea.
>>63951713>A-life has been working for a couple patches nowLooks like it's finally time to play it, thanks anon.
>>63964398that is every online game ever tho
>>63948059Totally agree, Holdfast is such a hidden gem game, great fun to be had there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnUYpZT0-KU
Really good combat too, the slow reloading puts more emphasis on positioning and teamwork over skill, not to mention fewer cheaters than typical FPS games.
>>63966135Ok I didn't watch much of that video before I posted it, the video kinda blows. Great game though in actuality.
>>63951703there's also realism mods that turn it into that type of gameplay if you like, and it's great for people like me. Fucking love WiC even though I'm a realism fag. Nuke scene is kino

>>63959862FUCK I forgot all about this. But it's a single player game so I guess it's ok
>>63959656I think some of the words you're using may not mean what you think.
>>63977105Nuclear option is basically GHPC but with planes (although it's fictional planes) it has modern shit but late cold war and now planes are 'nearly' the same in how they're used. Plus you can nuke shit. Arma reforger has a fair amount of vanilla servers that run the cold war setting, ICBM escalation is basically a cold war gone hot lite grand strategy game game. There is the upcoming '83 which is made by some of the Red orc and Rising storm 2 vets, but only 'some' of them, same with Afterconflict. The cold war is sadly a fairly untouched era which we don't see a whole lot of games for so options are limited.

Found some PvE server on Reforger, 82nd Airborne whateverthefuck, I can’t keep up with all these cutesy “sir yes sir” titles. It looks like relatively modern era hardware set on some sort of Middle Eastern territory. The details aren’t important, the important thing is I think I’ve finally found an ideal server for me to do absolutely nothing but run logistics. I’ll spawn at the main base, spawn a transport truck, load it up with supplies, and drive it to some base near where the action is. The server is full of those “high speed, low drag” Barbies with loadouts that cost like a 1000 supplies each so it makes me feel like my effort is appreciated. Another good thing is that the AI I’m assuming is braindead and the mods/GMs never bother putting down mines or wandering enemy NPCs around the map, so I can just cruise in peace with a truck full of supplies. You can’t do that in official servers, you’ll get blown up by an FIA or ambushed by the enemy team. I don’t know why I have this obsession with logistics. I even fantasized being a truck driver at one point. But this should scratch the itch for now. I might check out the other servers and explore the logistics options there. Also I desperately need a UMP45 modded into the game. I don’t care if it’s a failed experiment of a weapon system, I need a fucking UMP45
>>63981737Appreciate it. I was thinking of picking up arma: reforger
>>63947918 (OP)>a 1776 modeI just want a Crimean War sequel.

Or a Foxhole scale FPS with all the features of Red Orchestra 1 & Stalingrad.
>>63981377Its an Argie attempt at making C&C.
It is about as good as you'd expect.
>>63973189You are allowed to say nigger here, anon.
>>63983149He actually meant New Yorker.
>>63956738It's way too dumbed down compared to a3ACE which allows any schmuck with some map knowledge to try and lone wolf it. This isn't so much a peoblem on it's own, but it's just a shitty time when you have 30 14 year olds on each team trying to play elite sniper and you can't get a fucking squad together to actually take objectives. Specialist roles should have a higher barrier to entry
>>63983517Hell Let Loose puts limits on the number of snipers and tank operators in each team and the players always act like retards anyway
>>63984014HLL isn't representative of reforger, but also the limits at least make those retards have to fight together or just lose
Picked up GHPC over the sale and man is it great. How tf do I see the enemy before they see me though? I can't even make it past the second checkpoint on that solo Abrams mission that has the player simply drive down a road.
Is it unironically a skill issue? Do I just need to wait until my eyes learn to spot abnormalities in the distance? Pic unrelated
>>63985511Are you scanning with thermals and day time optics?
>>63985738I don't know how to tell if Im being scanned until Im hit desu, or if I personally see them aim and fire.
I know the TC will spot targets for me occasionally
>>63985752No I meant when you're scanning for targets, are you using both the TIS and day time sight. You'll want to scan with both. Also, if you are stopping to shoot, stop doing that. When scanning it helps to keep a mental note of the terrain features in front so you can hull down if the need arises. Basically just never stop moving unless you know you're safe
>>63986064Now Im not sure what you mean. I usually scan for targets with the commander turned out, and on all but one mission I played it was too bright to use his NV
>>63986395If you press T from the GPS you can switch to thermal. Scanning with the commanders binos works really well as a day sight analogue, but you're going to miss stuff that the thermals might have picked up if that's all you use
>>63983517>>63984014>>63984229Players will always act like retards because thats what they are.
>>63983517If you disable snipers in such games then the gameplay immediately gets 1000x better.
>>63987393Snipers are such a non-issue and only subhuman retards cry about it.
Meanwhile gunships rape everyone because there is no counter to them.
>>63987557>only subhuman retards cry about it.>this enrages the kraut
>muh snipers
nigga just like walk away? what is the sniper gonna do? follow you around the entire map?
>>63987606It's not the enemy snipers that are the problem, it's the friendly ones. You need guys to take onjectives but all the guys wanting to camp a spawn from 800m aren't helping with that
>>63987716banning snipers is not gonna change a thing because those players will find new and exciting ways to be retarded.
You would have to heavily restrict the game at which point it is no longer fun.
>>63987809I didn't suggest banning snipers, I just want the barrier to entry much higher like it is in a3ACE. The ace ballistics makes it an actual challenge that takes lots of practice. Reforger is just point and click
>>63962292Broken Arrow has some of the most retarded story and dialogue rivaled only by a shitty Hollywood film. Its just "lets slap technical jargon around because it sounds cool" levels of stupid and no amount of highly detailed tank/ship/aircraft models could ever make up for. When I found out the developer was Russian, I was not shocked. Some of the most jank and retarded games I have ever seen come from Russians.
If you want to play a Cold War strategy game that takes it self seriously where it counts, just play Sea Power.
>>63987716i don't think you understand just how fucking dumb the average player is. the other day i saw a guy TK someone because he wanted his truck
>>63960354As a former il2 fag i have nothing until combat pilot releases. I refuse to give 1c money for politcal reasons and for how they fucked jason williams. Im way more into warbirds but would this be worth looking into?

>>63988174Nuclear Option is a sim-lite, closer to War Thunder than IL-2, just without so much F2P grinding and spaghetti code. You can slot it in with Tiny Combat Arena or VTOL VR, sim enough to be authentic but not directly replicating reality or detailing systems.
Love NO, lots of fun, but your expectations should be stealth frigates intercepting guided 76mm howitzer shells from a V-22/AC-130 hybrid, a Harrier AWACS lasering a not!AMRAAM out of the sky, and occasionally toss-bombing a nuke or two.
>>63988174>>63988911The best way i can describe it is you better understand how radar works, but you don't need to open the TM for a jet to figure out what you're doing.
>>63948052If only, I wish girls would troll me and give any sort of attention. I'm a glass panel in the middle of the street for them, everyone steer far away from me and try the hardest to not touch me.
>>63951534>>63962292>>63988122I like BA a lot and have been following it for quite some time, but never once for one second did I ever think the campaign/single player component would actually be good. The devs liked to say loudly and often how they're inspired by WiC and jewtubers were tripping over themselves to say its the spiritual successor to WiC we've always wanted. I will admit that there is a bit of WiC soul in there that comes through in the general presentation/scale/unit barks but anyone paying even slight attention should have picked up on BA being wargame with a sprinkle of WiC not WiC with a sprinkle of wargame.
I do like playing with Infantry even tho everyone says they're weak (they are).
>>63989616The story is trash but I think the gimmicky parts of the campaign such as needing landing craft or cargo planes to get guys in field and needing to pick up most of your units on the map was kinda fun
>>63989797The series is dead. Britannia was the last good entry, Attila remains the best.
MK1212 ftw
>>63987716A modded server issue largely. You will still see this in vanilla servers, but between the lack of 30. Suppressor, lower magnification sights, and having active features like AI help alleviate the bush lifestyle.
I am a big fan of taking the LAV out to around 1000m from a coastal base and "sniping" with the 25mm. Or building a scoped NSV nest and dunking on dudes with 12.7
>>63990070>having active features like AI help alleviate the bush lifestyleWhat do you mean? The fact that everyone can be a more or less "successful" sniper by just hunting bots?
Not sure if it counts as /k/, but I like Foxhole, even with everything wrong with it
>Retarded developers who don't know what they're doing
>Annoying playerbase that is half hugbox faggots who hate fun and half spergs who can't go 5 seconds without calling someone a nigger
>Awful balancing
>Facilities mostly being filler that exist to make you put in more work that usually isn't worth it

Despite all of that, I still have like almost 2000 hours in the game, just wish my friends would play it more

>>63990037>Britannia was the last good entryLol, lmao even. The actual last good entry was Pharaoh
>>63990624Dude that's even WORSE bait. The last good entry was shogun 2, everything after that has been dumbing down of the franchise over years until we got to the brainslop of the warhammer bullshit.
Any Total War using Warscape is shit.
>>63990218No. Using the bots to out the sniper. Or using the bots to directly push the positions. They are still a chore to actually command. But for basic stuff you can get them to work. Simple stuff like commanding them to use suppressive fire or move on or near a position.
Does anyone in here play DEFCON?
>>63991474DEFCON is fun but ICBM is just a better version
>>63990577>>63990624Ok, it's the last one i really enjoyed. Had a lot of fun with it.
>>63990636Unpopular opinion but i never loved shogun 2 the way i loved empire, napoleon, attila and rome 2. Every faction basically the same, every campaign taking the same direction, only the fall of the samurai campaign was fun at the first two or three runs.
>>63990624I've read this and bought it, but refunded after like 20 minutes played. The new aesthetics, campaign map and interface style absolutely are not for me. They should have stuck with the style of attila and just have built on that. I'm not even excited for the eventual new medieval anymore, not like this. I'm just hyped for the medieval kingdoms 1212 mod to be finished. Literally one of the best mods i have ever played for any game.

What are you supposed to do in this case?

>>63992183DEFCON does a pretty good job of making a vibe, but ICBM actually makes conventional warfare useable, there's a way to actually build up and defend against attacks, you can actually win the game entirely in a conventional war if you wanted to with the sequel since you can actually capture and gain territory ect

>>63991991Med systems are not fully fleshed out. But you can use an ambulance, carry a med kit and combined with a supply source you can heal others and resupply in the field. Med tents are also vital and should be one of the first things built as it helps keep you topped up.
Unfortunately you don't really get XP or credit for healing so unless you are on a modded server that gives xp for heals.
>>63992275That sums up my opinions on the games. DEFCON is like a proof of concept , proof that. A game that makes you think 'this is cool but how could I make this better/more complete'

>>63971598>game full of weapons>not very /k/
Surrounding hostile armies completely to cut off their retreat and fully annihilate them was one of the best feelings in the world.
>>63990636While Rome 2 has serious issues, even after the tons of updates, Attila was actually a good showing.
Pharaoh, after the Dynasties upgrade, is the mechanically best title. It has an actual economy, diplomacy works and combat is more than simple hammer and anvil tactics while stat checking the enemy.
One can argue that bronze age is a boring setting, I'd disagree, but mechanically it's way better than what CA's main studio has been putting out for ages.

>>63995276>First Recon assault>ordinanceWhy the fuck are Fallout fans always such barely-literate knuckledraggers?
>>63995804>First Recon assaultFirst Recon is a unit, and it's the Fallout universe. There's a shitload of potential in-universe explanations that would make this make sense. Don't be a nitpicking bitch.
>>63995804>First recon assault>"I'm going to assume they're the assault group of a unit called the first recon">ordinance trooper>"I"m going to assume they're a role that handles things like ordinance, such as AT, mortars and other such heavy gear"You have a brain, it can THINK, do that from time to time and figure out this shit on your own
>>63996420The word is "ordnance." An ordinance is a local, municipal-level law. Way to out yourself as illiterate.
>>63995929Nothing in New Vegas shows or suggests First Recon having any particular assault role. Every member of First Recon is equipped as a scout sniper, their deployment and history presented in-game is all in a scout sniper role, at most in support of regular NCR units. It's in both their name and motto.
These seem to be based on Boone's quest reward armors, his survival armor and assault armor depending on player choice. But Boone left First Recon and his assault armor has the NCR emblem removed.
I'm not saying they can't still grab a service rifle and do assaults if needed, but singling out First Recon to have a dedicated assault variant is stupid. At least the survival version might suggest something like LRRP in keeping with their typical designated role.
There's gotta be a catch with these followers of the apocalypse, right? Everyone outside of Goodsprings has been a fucking asswipe, but I'm supposed to believe these guys with a name that sounds like they're trying to blow up the world again are supposed to be some altruistic charity?
>>63984229Rising Storm and Insurgency suffer from the same problems, I think all tactical shooters end up with this problem eventually.

It's important to follow orders and work together and surprisingly even pub matches have fantastic coordination between units. You can roleplay Sharpe all you want as long as you don't run off to fight 1v30-50~. In fact, roleplaying a sergeant is top tier fun.

There are two rules in life
STICK IT TO THE FRENCH
AND STICK IT TO THE SPANISH
For the Reforger guys;
Any thoughts on the teasers being posted for the next content update? RU gets a
RPG-26. US gets based tigerstripe, and M14. Shooting from vehicles possible? Oh and anti personal mines.
>>64001953which mod is that?
>>64001953We deserve an Empire 2, or Victoria, but CA is never going to make another game where you can play as white people shooting brown people.
>>63998622Forgive me for being autistic, but you lose five tickets when you die out of line, not ten.

>>64003272They're already being called anti barbie devices in certain chats
>>63996734>>63997854They're the least explored faction in all the works, by far. Even well explored factions like BoS have multiple valid and very different interpretations. There's really not muh to go on, so you can view them however you want.
>>64003221Ill be real. I used to lie to the new players about how serious it was so they listened and just kind of forgot the real number. I used to also tell them that reloading crouched took an extra eight seconds so they would stand up to load while in defilade.
>>64005136Based. Lying to enforce desirable behavior in newbies is objectively moral.
>>64004977There are PVE, and PVP severs yes.
>>64003369I mean AP mines have a bit of a reputation in vidya just in general. But then you mix in the freedom and tom foolery that already is going on in Reforger and the fact that armories are just new player bait at this point and you have a lot of potential to just fuck with people.
I already do a lot of sabotage with AT mines and explosives, and back capping radio towers to fuck with coms. AP mines are just gonna be icing.

REEEEE I thought this goddamn spic quartermaster was supposed to give me a discount after finishing all his errands. Thought I'd finally have a place to get cheap .308 in bulk. Don't tell me I gotta put points in barter - I didn't make my character's nose long enough.
Shoulda just ratted him out to the qt MP girl. The wiki says you can turn him in after completing his errands and buying up all his stock, but looks like fucking Viva New Vegas patched that out.
>>64003391I asked mostly about New Vegas, since I was thinking about just killing them all over their name, kek
>>64007226Wouldn't you like to know...
Not sure exactly how the mines will function or the lethality the devs are planning so bare with me.
The basic idea though is to sabotage the rear lines.
You go in with a couple guys or AI and start a capture, then you bring down the radio tower. Let's assume that the tower was propping up their signal, now they will be forced to come back and put up a new radio. At this point I would start to AP mine in and around the command tent, and armory or common places I expect them to walk to. Setting up an ambush and mining roads into the base would be a 3rd part that could be done before the tower gets popped.
Using default layout of Everon as an example and specifically "Old wood" you could very easily mine the main roads going into the point, and follow up with AP mines set up in the base. You can either move on from the base or you can stay and defend using your mines as indicators, or even commanding your squad (real or AI or both) to set up ambushes along the predicted entry routes. This will force a larger response from the enemy team, or it will encourage them to seek a different connection, which you might already hold or that is easier to defend.
The other main use I see is for defense. Already we have seen a influx of wire and sandbag walls. But with AP mines you can go further and set up a mines along or within that perimeter.
>>64008398I see...
