housefly posted:Hi. Cis-male identifying as homosexual (currently) reporting in. I play Pokemon go in local restrooms in support of homeless post-op transgendered teens. I was wondering if this Macy's guy would play infinite warfare with me. Thanks. While I'll still buy it (for CoD4), I genuinely might skip the multiplayer for Titanfall 2's. I'm getting really, really tired of CoD's consistently broken matchmaking... and their de-emphasis on cover penetration in this last go-around; which has always been one of my favourite aspects of the franchise. I want some new bugs to bitch about. And a new(er) game engine to make fun of. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jul 15, 2016 |

I don't know if the devs are just missing various bits around the map, but there's a lot of spots in areas under constant fire that- visually speaking, should allow my future bullets to punch right through.

Agreed. I just can't be bothered getting interested over CoD's imaginary future poo poo; all that matters is their stats, and since it's science fiction, it can be whatever Activision wants them to be.

Bill NYSE posted:The player is seen firing lasers from a rifle, yet the hoverjet called in sprays bullets. What the gently caress future did I sign up for? Seriously; projectile weapons make no loving sense in fleet-level and under combat, only in the sense of planetary bombardment. It makes more sense to run multiple nuke/fusion generators for lasers that suffer less travel and light lag. And you use high strength EM plating to specifically divert debris away from sensitive areas of the ship You'd save weight by not holding tons of volatile ammunition that can instead be used for more fuel/maneuvering gas, redundant generators, spare compressed air storage... and not making GBS threads up space with debris from explosions and missed shots, or loving up your own maneuvers through weapon recoil.

SpookyLizard posted:Bullets don't make sense. Mass Drivers on the other hand, are amazing, and require far less heat dissipation. Missiles are mostly pointless, outside of kinetic kill devices. Mass drivers only make sense in planetary bombardment, not fleet-level (or below) combat. They're just too slow, due to the delay from what your instruments see because of limitations on the speed of light. When you consider the speeds of the ships, and distances involved, and the delay of what your sensors are telling you, compared to where the ship actually is, or might be (because light lag is a thing), lasers make way more sense. You want weapons that actually travel at the speed of light, not orders of magnitude less. You need weapons that can hit almost as fast as you can detect, so that predicting where your enemy will go matters less. It's the difference between Host pro with a hitscan gun (i.e., milliseconds of lag), and a dude with an XM-53 on dial-up (tenths of a second).

SpookyLizard posted:You use your mass drivers to hit where the enemy will be and or to move towards where you want them to be. And planetary bombardment is an awful thing, and a great way to wreck that planet for years to come. If you're gonna do that you might as well just grab an asteroid and launch that out of your mass driver. You can't know where they'll be, because even sensors are subject to light lag. Compounded with the slow travel time compared to directed energy, they're not worth it for attacking anything smaller than a planet. Space combat is like fighting on the internet; the weapons (even lasers) have travel time (lag), the feedback from sensors have travel time (lag) communications have travel time (lag). We're not talking single digit kilometers here. The AO is hundreds to thousands of kilometers. The width of planets. It's never in real time. Every update is from the past. Only two weapons make sense in that environment: lasers that travel at light speed, and missiles, which can adjust their course, and update the target's location after being launched.

Lasers could already shoot down aircraft and missiles in the prototype phase, and their range is even better in vacuum, without the air literally getting in the way. It's just a matter of scaling them up and running them on dedicated generators.

SpookyLizard posted:If you have knowledge of the enemy's propulsion systems you can predict their potential movements and subsequently hit where they will be. Or attempt too. Fill the intervening spac with projectiles can force them into the space where there are other projectiles or are easier targets for other weapons platforms. Missiles aren't the greatest of weapons because lasers would make fantastic point defense, heavily negating their usefulness. Kinetic kill would probably useful against smaller ships or fighters of some kind. 1.) Propulsion performance is classified in many areas for the latest combat aircraft (flight ceiling, rate of climb, for just two), what makes you think a future military will be open about it? 2.) loving  at "filling the intervening space" (a 3D area measured in hundreds to thousands of cubic kilometers) with projectiles. Naval craft weren't able to do that, and they fight in 2d. And you're forgetting how missiles work; you don't fire one big one, you fire hundreds of small ones to overwhelm the defense. Same with single-pilot craft; you stack as many as they can hold for hundreds more.3.) Because you don't have ammo storage, you just use more lasers and generators. And you rotate between weapons to maintain heat dissipation. And the extra generators can double as emergency power through rerouting. Ammo is both an explosive hazard, doesn't serve secondary function that can ensure post-battle survival, and if not machine loaded, dangerous to handle in unexpected high G maneuvers (like evasion).

You do realize that the only information the US got on Soviet aircraft was through defection, espionage, or outright theft of the craft via a tertiary country, right? The US created the F15 because they thought a bomber intercept craft (The Foxbat) was a superiority fighter, simply because it had a large tail area. That's how good "observation" is. Mass drivers are too slow. Their top speed is limited by basic physics. to go at a significant fraction of light, you suffer from the same force in recoil. Simply firing them at each other would alter each ship's courses as they fired, making their targeting useless, because instrument/sensor feedback is limited by the speed of light.

You don't use one big cooling system for all weapons, you use multiple smaller (and redundant) systems for separate banks of weaponry, and you cycle through the groupings. This is space, the most dangerous place a human can be. You need to think redundancies and decentralized. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Jul 26, 2016 |

Eh, what can I say, space combat is an obsession of mine. It has so many things going against it that just don't work in fiction, and so the near future genre irks me. It's why I prefer my sci-fi to be so far in the future you can just say, "nanomachines and space magic".

Actually, the plot of AW is only decent if you consider 'Atlas Shrugged' to be good literature. Kevin Spacey is the only thing that makes a story that stupid fun. The idea of private military being more efficient was completely and utterly disproven in the poo poo show that was Iraq 2. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Aug 1, 2016 |

No joke; the only reason I bought Root Beer was for Kevin Spacey. Even though the story setup is a completely unrealistic John Galt wank fest, the missions were great. The mansion stealth mission is top notch, whether you go lethal or non lethal (if you go loud, you're totally hosed, though).
