How do you like your Soldat
« on: April 30, 2007, 06:21:03 am »
I was inspired by the bullet conflict to write this topic. It seems that different people have completely different expectations from Soldat - also, due to realistic and arcade game modes Soldat is two different games in one. What is your Soldat configuration?

How do you like your Soldat?

I like it realistic - I play in realistic mode only and I modded my weapons.ini file to make it more realistic - I even created an Excel spreadsheat that calculates speed and damage from muzzle velocity, bullet weight and caliber.

This means that I like things like recoil modifier, separate bullet speed and damage  and I don't like effects typical for arcade games, like big bullets, items flashing before disappearing, etc.
I'm interested in how realism influences the game balance, why armies use weapons that they use, etc.

Also, I like it as customisable as it's possible.

I'm playing with in 640X480 with antialiasing on off and render bullet trails on off.

EDIT:
I forgotten to add:
I like it grim and gritty - I like playing on TW_ maps because they represent the struggle in interesting way - I like when game isn't about just capturing the flag, but about the struggle itself - fighting for a bunker in the middle of the map, etc.

Well...
I want you to talk here about your needs and expectations? I've seen much hostility in threads concerning the new Soldat version and I think that it came from lack of understanding to the other side of discussions.

People play Soldat, because it matches their taste and satisfies their needs - when the new version came some people were satisfied and some people weren't.

The point of this thread is to tell why it was.

I as a realistic mode player didn't like the shift towards arcade style - this style isn't consistent with realistic mode - I played it because I liked the "realism" part of the game connected with brutal action.
Now, when I see big bullets/flashing flag/flashing weapons, I see that they don't fit that game style.
On the other hand, they probably fit the arcade mode.

And here was me thinking that i was going to make a quite funny remark but seems like someone has beaten me to it...

I usually drop boiling oil on people who do that and eat their insides while their're still alive...

But don't be scared. I'm kind of a decent guy, actually... and i run out of oil.

PS. I like trenchwars either. Too bad i rarely find any server working.
