Justin Tyme posted:If it grows into anything remotely close to what PR has become it will be the definitive shooter of this decade. If you haven't tried PR, do it, it's free. Everything from Black Hawk Down to Chechnya to France fighting in North Africa, even weird poo poo like German paratroopers fighting Russia and France vs China is in the game. There are even some Vietnam maps which are fun as gently caress. There's such an immense amount of variety and the very finely-tuned mix of arcade vs realism action is perfect. I just hope that the features are implemented a bit better so it's more accessible, removing a lot of the community elitism that turns people the gently caress off.

I feel like That's just a problem with the idiosyncrasies of BF2 and can be worked out in a complete rebuild, but we'll see. Also Squad should stay as far, far away from ARMA 3 as possible, that "game" is a loving blight. RocketRaygun, how's the intended scope going to compare to PR (such as larger numbers of aircraft and vehicles and large maps/playercounts) and does moving to a new engine present many gameplay problems? The most pressing issue I can think of is the lack of world/viewdistance fog in UE4 compared to Refractor making tanks be able to shoot and see each other from each other's main bases, or aircraft being able to immediately spot each other on takeoff. Are you guys going to have to make a lot of changes to the PR formula to compensate, or are you just going to stick with having a world fog on every map? I feel like keeping the viewdistance limited/a "fog of war" would be the best bet since it will stay true to the proven formula of PR, because I don't see many ways around resorting to making engagement ranges be actually realistic. That doesn't always equal fun, though- I don't think having 2 KM engagement ranges for tanks or ATGMs or having CAS get blown up from a missile fired from several KM away would be a very good route to go. There's a reason PR is still being played after nearly a decade.

I don't see why it is a bad thing either. Anything you have that can effectively engage targets beyond a kilometer is probably going to get you a lot of attention from the enemy as soon as you use it. And that is assuming that resources + opportunities even allow you to be as useful sitting that far away from the action as you'd have been if you were fighting with your team at the front.

You say that now but just wait until the first time a tank is plopped on top of a mountain lobbing HE at your spawn from 3 km away and all your assets are dead. It's gonna definitely be an issue once big combined arms stuff comes down the road. I guess you could make ATGMs more prevalent, but then it might take the fun out of being in assets. Part of why PR is so fun is the lethality and survivability of assets; killing a tank or CAS thing is a pretty big game-shifting event, but if you tip the balance too far the other way it makes them somewhat irrelevant.

When it comes to vehicle damage one of the dev on a twitch stream earlier stated they couldn't implemented everything because there's a finite numbers of events the game engine may process due to technical limitations. Which is interesting, what's the current technical bottleneck? Is this a Unreal Engine limitation? How? And if it's a hardware limitation, what kind of hardware are the servers running on?

First time playing since the closed alpha was first available, really. I definitely enjoy the additions so far! I'm hoping to see that 870 we saw renders of awhile back in the game at some point soon. I know they said they wanted the weapons to all feel and handle different, is there currently any difference between say the AKM or the AKM clone with the donkey-dick foregrip on it statistically or are all the 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 weapons basically cloned reskins of the other weapons sharing the same caliber? Do you guys still plan a more comprehensive and extended class system, things like Spotters, HAT, Engineers/Sappers, Breachers, the kind of guys we had in PR basically, and do you still intend them to have any sort of loadout customization?

There's a discussion going on in the Squad forums which talks about how right now the devs want all the kit availability to scale up with how many people are in the squad. (no LAT, grenadiers until 4+, multiple special roles at 8+) Also it seems like all the kits are going to be selected through the respawn screen. I hope that doesn't mean we won't be able to switch kits like in PR; that's going to hurt the whole medic system and healing to preserve tickets.

Yeah, needing to get limited kits from a cache or crate and having kits limited in numbers to team was a vital balancing point in PR.

They just put the latest version on steam; everyone should all ready have gotten their keys. Vehicles are still too buggy so they aren't in yet. Early access release is on the 15th. Closed Alpha Version 3 (Hotfix 3.2) quote:Major Features

Is there an approximate adjusted timeframe to have vehicles in, or is that too finicky of a question to answer at the moment? In either case, looking forward to the 15th

Hopefully by the next update (that's my wish) but no official word yet, I think. Last I heard, they are drivable in the developers build but the implementation is still rudimentary. Won't be there on the 15th though, pretty sure of that. Either way though, been playing the new version on Steam and it's really coming together. Performance seems to be great (unless you're running an AMD, in that case you're screwed) and it's a lot of fun. The overhaul of the forest maps is great, I've avoided them for the past few updates, but now they're a lot of fun. Militia has replaced the insurgent faction on all AAS maps, which is a bit of a shame but in line with how it works in PR. Overall, it's really great. Don't really see myself going back to RO2 or Arma 3 anytime soon, this is my tactical shooter of choice from now on!

Knightsoul posted:Crap...... do you think AMD users will be fine with future patches? There's been a lot of feedback and complaints from AMD CPU users (AMD GPU's are fine it seems?) on the forums, so I can't imagine it's not being worked on, especially if it's an Unreal 4-related issue. Even I started getting the micro-stutters and 1-2 second freezes yesterday (the main symptom for AMD users) with an i7 and a gtx965m. Restarting the game fixed it for me, though. Servers seem to be ramping up the population as well, most servers go up to 70 slots now. Hopefully we'll get some vehicles on the 15th! A lot of hiking at the moment, especially on the bigger servers/maps.

Hey dev guy, are you planning on keeping Militia on the desert maps? They don't exactly seem like a proper fit. I understand having them there temporarily because... well, alpha and there's only one map they do fit in, but green gorkas don't exactly look right in the desert.

Yeap, as part of the kickstarter campaign one of the stretch goals was to remake two maps from Project Reality (one was a bonus, Fool's Road, which is in the current Steam build) - the other is Fallujah West, after a community vote Another patch released on Steam today, from what I hear it's the release candidate for Early Access, barring any major surprizes. No vehicles, but one new map (Chora, which is really cool) and a bunch of fixes. Focus seem to be on server stability, which is a good thing

Kind of wish the devs would consider some kind of 'free to play' class implemented like RO2's Rising Storm (anyone could play the most basic class for each team for free). I'm just hoping the game gets enough exposure/players when it comes out because I loved PR.
