>a single kid makes a better game than most of AAA game developers

AAA devs have nothing to prove anymore. They're lazy since they know that people will buy whatever they shit out

the game is not demanding so it's easier to render the game twice for the scope

>>258084734
Immersion maybe? I guess the russians needed weapons fast and couldn't really get into detail when making the scopes. As I remember, the german scopes are much better.

>>258083692
What's so great about that scope?

>>258085783
actual scope instead of crosshair overlay and full screen zoom i think, basically /v/ being autist again

This is now an Unturned thread. Anyone willing to host or some shit? The /vg/ server is full of people who hog all the loot and keep it in their sekret klub and snipe anyone that's not in their group naked or not and the rest of the people who are freelancers are just bandits.

But as soon as you aim in the sights get centered to your eyes.

And it makes it so the bullets actually go where your gun is pointing, not having the gun always centered and then the accuracy being random bullet spread where your gun shoots sideways if you'r not zooming in like COD or something

>>258089304
it doesn't feel like anything, it has no tactility, it disallows relying on reflexes because RNG in not shooting but target acquisition

For some reason RO2 is listed on my steam but I've never bought it

>>258089980
Two eyes, one scope. ofc its offcenter unless youre some chump who thinks real soldiers close one eye hollywoodstyle.

>>258090260
I think RO2 was given out for free not so long ago, yeah.

Killing Floor has scopes like RO2, but people set it to use the texture overlay instead because that has a gameplay advantage. Realistic scopes look fancy but they're much worse for gameplay, provided you aren't trying to make a simulator.

>>258090329
Closing eyes no, but squinting does help quite a bit. You make do with the situation.

Red Orchestra 1 was perfectly fine without squad leader spawning.

Why or how or what the fuck does Red Orchestra 2 need SL spawn? So that's it more appealing to your cowabattlefield sensibilities or do you have an actual explanation?

>>258091029
because of it's versatility, it's easy modularity, and it's ability to look decent while also running on fucking toasters

>>258090609
They should spawn on the squad leader, but airdrop in by parachute.

>>258090609
You'd have a valid point if you had 500 strong teams of people arranged into, and willing to remain within, proper military hierarchies

>>258091157
Except hammer is horrible.

>>258091125
i honestly can think of no other games that have only SL spawning, cowadooty has totally random spawning and battlefield has full squad member spawning
SL spawning means that the role of a SL is more important and unique. it also forces the team to make use of teamwork by providing a very necessary tool to do so. like i said i literally cannot imagine how tactics in this game would work if the SL couldnt spawn people

>>258091451

Without squad leader spawning the SL still plays a very important role using smoke grenades and his ability to spot for the commander.

>You'd have a valid point if you had 500 strong teams of people arranged into, and willing to remain within, proper military hierarchies
What does that have to do with anything? When I played on classic servers people played to capture tactically important positions and had to show a great amount of concern for the fact that their lives and their positions on the battlefield were actually limited - if they died, they'd have to start off from the corner of the map or wherever the reserves, reinforcements or whatever would realistically come in. They listened to commands, and artillery was used to weaken defenders before assault for instance. There were decent tactics. And they probably would have been diminished by something as silly as spawning onto a person in the middle of the field.

>>258091706
no one said source was a better engine retard. hammer really isnt horrible, take a look at all the mods for half life and other source games

>>258091270
not for small unit tactics
>>258091496
SL would have smoke and arty still
spawn on SL is immersion breaking like how bodies flying up into the air when shot is (was)

>>258091037
Yeah, it's actually not bad

Shame the current map is too small, basically a deathmatch

>>258092603
>There were decent tactics

Such as?

>>258092603
it just seems to me that it'd be way to fucking easy to attack and nearly impossible to defend without SL spawning, but maybe forcing everyone to walk everywhere stops that from happening. IMO realistic strikes the good balance between "realistic" and "fun battlefield" type game without being cheesy or a sim. its just fun and still thrilling knowing you can die in one hit while teamwork still plays a vital part

>>258090740

It's actually very very difficult, The stubborness of a teenager would be a very useful asset in game development because you're just much less likely to give up.

i can't find a decent server for this game

>>258092396
He's not.

>>258092881
It's not impossible to defend because the attackers have to walk all the way from spawn if they get shot... most maps will spawn defenders practically on top of the objective.
Have you ever played IOM + classic? It's still fun.

>>258093164

>There will never be a shooter that makes 4x or 2x scopes use this technology

>>258092881
I really don't share your feelings for realism. Maybe I've been playing on bad servers, but it really feels less like Red Orchestra and more like a more mainstream action shooter where teamwork really doesn't take a front seat.

Never really had problems with the game being biased one way or the other, except for certain maps I guess. It was a while ago since Classic servers were really populated unless I missed something.

>>258092846
Timely combination of infantry assault and artillery barrages, squad leader and commander coordination, smokes to block the sight of the enemy (especially important since you'd have to wait for respawn and then run all the way back if you died), capturing positions to shoot down on the enemy, rereouting assaults to take advantage of neglected areas, etc.

It's fairly basic stuff admittedly.

>>258093430
this happens in realism too... it just means you have to really push people off the objective

About one in every two hundred games had tactics like this

>>258093430
Don't be a sarcastic cunt.

I didn't play that much classic RO2 so I can't speak for that but in Rising Storm it's okay. Spawn is generally like a hundred meters behind the actual objective, which makes it entirely feasible to push the defenders beyond the objective.

I thought the new call of duty had that?

As an active-duty LRS, I'd like to inform you that no, we do not squint, and muscle memory isn't as accurate as you seem to think.

>>258084223
Originally that scope would use the same settings you have which caused your frames to drop in half. I have no idea how they were doing it internally but since frames were dropping nearly in half I'll assume they were rendering another picture the same size of your resolution, which would be a stupid ass implementation. Then they switched it to not use AA, lower AF, and less world detail to prevent that huge frame drop. I don't know what changed back from those originally changes since I don't play marksman.

But console games aren't going to use a scope to have the game even drop 5 frames when it already runs at 30fps.

>>258094490
Probably because fans of the previous game in the franchise might not be having as much fun.

Don't question the logic of why that should make you feel bad because I'm not going to defend it.

>>258094478
It symbolises your eye focusing.

>>258095316
>it symbolises
no it doesn't, the fucking dev decided to just change the POV and keep the gun on as a part of something that goes in front of everything but the hud goes in front of that. In short, the invisible camera on the person is shooting forward with the picture of the gun in front of it still
