Guest MartinMb Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 An easy placeholder method for this would be to simply retexture the GDI Neurotoxin Soldier, since it's being removed from GDI anyway. Or put it in APB and rename the unit "SARIN GAZ TROOPER" ! :emot-v: (we'll see if some people remember that joke) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest APB_ICE Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) ICE getting his CNCism wrong? :emot-aaa: Hey, I haven't studied TS or TD as much as RA1, my specialty. I remember seeing this fence, and it looks awesome, but I have one suggestion: The model is 99% perfect, but please lower or spread out the beams to be a bit closer to the ground. Realistically, it looks like someone could easily just crouch under the bottom beam. Plus, the bottom beam was very close to the ground in TS: (Before anyone asks, I'm fine with there being 4 beams instead of 3, because it makes more sense, security-wise.)

Wallywood Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 ICE the model is fine. You can't get under it. Also not going to change a perfectly fine model because of your 1% that isn't pleased about something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r315r4z0r Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Who cares if you can get under it? It's a frickin' lazur fence! All you need now are some sharks and a remote control chair and this would be the greatest mod ever even in pre-pre-prior-before-alpha state without any of the other things you listed. But seriously, the mod is finally getting the attention it deserves and I look forward to seeing how it's game play will work in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyflosius Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Oh boy, haha. Pardon me for using salt instead of sugar. I can see this going down very badly, cutting away assets in favor of 'canon' material, which takes a huge bite out of what made Reborn (atleast the infantry beta aside from its bugs) so fun. It had a great selection of infantry, giving a varied amount of strategics. I think this will kind of resemble how APB has been getting shittier ever since the release that came after 9335. Cutting away tons of maps in favor of 'quality' maps and taking away the fun. The amount of players APB is getting at the moment speaks for itself i suppose. Sure, quality is more important than quantity. But having very litte new quantity is also bad. And i get the idea that BHP doesn't know how to make fun games. With that being said, not all is doom and gloom. Reborn's ass is finally moving towards something which could be called a stable release. For which i'm happy. I'm just afraid that the same forces that drove APB to the edge of what can be considered 'crap', will be influencing Reborn in a bad way.

Dont waltz down here like your the leader of the world thinking your view amounts 50 billion times more than anyone elses, If you don't like whats going on with Reborn, and how its being handled, go find another game and wrap yourself in your personal bubble where you think everyone is going to worship your opinion.

It can easily be said that its not really constructive criticism as it goes off topic saying how RA-APB is "getting shittier every day" etc etc, and to your point about infantry being cut out, infantry in the old infantry beta was good for one major reason, you was playing against bots/alone, when this comes up to a multiplayer game, these assets/charcters are abused as much as posible by players, and can piss others off, infantry is being removed/changed to make sure that people don't bitch with infantry on multiplayer games, these changes are for the better, dispise what you think.

But looking at the player-count going down and me and some of my friends seeing the potential APB had being wasted by people who think they know better [read; arrogance]... Well, you get the point... i hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are one to think you can do better, learn how to model/texture (+ all the other elements required) and see if you can make a game that has come as far as Red Alert A Path Beyond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tyflosius Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I'd rather see BHP improving. Pride is the only thing keeping this game from being better. That, and the lack of vision I often see when reading APB's blogs... Reborn's blogs haven't been exactly mind-bending either, but i'll give it a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ryknow Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 What I think tyflosius is saying is quite true, to an extent. APB has been lacking in quantity, even though their quality is amazing. You need good quality to get people's attention, and enough quantity to keep it. At the moment, APB reels in many people, but, since the quantity is so low(how many updates it receives in X amount of time), a lot don't stay, so total player count will always be going down, even if we get spurts of new players. I can't argue his other points as I have little care to get info on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallywood Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 First of all its very easy to criticize anything, and in most cases I understand. Everyone wants to be the next "Yahtzee" but at least play the game before you start judging it. Your basing your opinion off of a roster that hasn't been seen before. The Infantry beta had tons of under used units that people would buy just because they were bored, a lot of them were very over shadowed.The way we're doing this line each unit will have its own special use. Even more so with the promotion system that were putting in that grant special ability s . The fact alone that there will be no more snipers will make the Infantry units more powerful, why buy a slow cyborg if it could just get one shoted well now we won't have that issue.You call it "stripping away assets" I call it "Trimming the fat." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tyflosius Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I'm not saying the Infantry beta was perfect. Not at all. It had a ton of flaws. But you have to admit that it was so much better than APB's infantry system... which is one of the weakest points of the entire game imo. Reborn's infantry selection would be awesome, if well balanced. I don't know who pushes all the buttons regarding APB's infantry balancing, but when i see a BHP member writing down they're going to majorly mess up the way infantry works in Reborn... (scrapping snipers, what the hell?) i can already see the dark clouds forming above Reborn. But yeah. I can't see into the future, this project is in your hands now. Good luck. :- ) BlackWolf.

Guest ryknow Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I don't. The conception he's saying is that now it's under BHP's control, it might end up like APB; High Quality, but insufficient quantity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
