Hello guys,
I finally made my way to this forum! I started playing Soldat at ~v1.3.1 I think, then had a break. And now I play it again since 1.6.x...
To cut it short: What then Fuque happend to the Weapon-Balance??? If u say, now they are balanced, I wonder what was the case in earlier versions, and why few ppl complained back then..?!
I know there is the possibility to do some WM, but seriously no regular server does so. And having each server have its own weapon-balance is no good practice. How shall one compare with eachother then?? If it was like that, that would ultimatively mean, one would have a "Spas-Server", a "Deagles-Server", a "Sniper-Server" and so on, right?! Noone wants that I guess!
And I can hear the people say: "Oh ure just so good cos of the wm!" - "Cry more!" ...
I only really use the Spas, so I can't really tell about other weaps. It feels they changed alot!
Esp. compared to the Deagles, the Spas is relly underpowered!!!! I always compare them, because I think of the Deagles as a kind of Sniper-Spas. (Told Fryer earlyer.)
So what's the drawback of using Deagles in comparison to Spas?? Is there any?
Let me get it togehter as I see it:
Deagles:
-reload faster // If Spas is empty, you are dead. Reloading one round (+-) takes as long as reloading deagles
-have higher fire-rate
-bullets fly faster
-bullets don't spread // I have never seen one dieing fron like 1 or 2 Spas-pellets.
-bullets are less affected by movement (??) ...because they fly faster...
-bullets are less affected by gravity // Esp. shooting upwards with the Spas makes it weak.
-need 3 hits to kill // Spas is eaten so badly, that one usually need 3+ hits to kill
I remember when 2 hits usually were enough. One could fire 2 loads, and take care of something else. Now I always have to wait, and see if the opponent needs some more. That really sucks, cause it slows me down alot!!!
- + lots of things that don't come to my mind right now.
Just tell me if I'm wrong, but I think weapons that are harder to master should do more dmg!?! Deagles and Spas are comparable. That's why I focus on them. But I think Spas is still a little harder to control, isn't it (see above)?!
Soooooooooooo, enough talking! I'd like to have some facts!
I would like to see how the weapons changed over time.
Could you PLEASE give me some weapon-stats of older soldat-versions!?!?!?!?!?
Something that I could put insinde a graph and look at it, cause that's what I usually do when not playing Soldat!
Fryer told me that the weapon-balance now rather is dependend of the one devs mood (my words), than on facts. Maybe one could learn something from comparing the weapon-balances of the different versions..
