considering you are wearing armor, legs arms and helmat optional.

and toting a rifle pistol and grenades a fall from 2 feet would break your legs.

there is no such thing going into a 3 point stance while falling carrying that much equipment, of course you can always toss your rifle on the ground then jump down to it but good luck having it work properly afterwords.



you just bad mouth FA because its not an easy mod, no one is a instant god, and its obvious that you suck at it.

as leaderzor pointed out we played about 5-6 hours yesterday was a hella time, we both managed to have a 30-10 score most of the times.
he was a medic some times and was fixing my broken legs, cuts and scrapes.

so what i'm saying is dont knock a game you never bothered to put any real time into, FA takes practice, there is a steep learning curve with the weapons but once you get the hang of it you shouldnt have much trouble killing people.

like i said before if it takes you a whole clip to kill someone then you cant aim for peanuts, leaderzor can vouch for this i've killed 4 or 5 guys infront of him with M4 and no markmenship skills by just using semiauto and taking heads off.

Learn the game, dont just critize it because your too stupid to put time into it.
you dont hear me bad mouthing the ship or whatever other crapy mod you are into.

yeah famas has not been nerf'ed, but other rifles have gotten a boost.

the 7.62mm variaty to be specific, in pre 2.7 the 7.62 rifles only did about 3/4 the damage they do now. ie the G3A3, M14, Ak47, Ak74, mind you the 47 is a slightly smaller round then the G3A3 and the 74 is even smaller but still they do more damage then the Famas so in a firefight with a famas vs AK, G3 or even a M14 the larger calibers quite often win now due to the boost in its damage.

you can break legs with a m14 and G3a3 they do the same damage as the M60.

famas is no longer whore'ed unless its aloud to be, every weapon has its counter.

also i still firmly believe that an m16 will beat a famas, given the m16 gunner can aim and gets a 3 round burst square in his chest... but the m16 gunner will walk away with less HP then would a AK ect.

diablus i'm sorry you feel that way, but if that's what FA is to you then i can see your problem, it was the same for me when i first started playing FA...

you think it takes 100 bullets to kill someone but thats mostly because you cant aim for crap when spraying on fullauto+running

there is something like 10 different positions to fire a weapon from in FA and each has its own effect on recoil and spray... its up to you to find the best ones and use them at the right times.

i've killed 5 people in a row with a beretta 92f, thats the 15 shot mag one with a silencer. of course i had 16 rounds in the mag at that time due to a reload after killed 2 previous people, but i did kill 5 in one pistol clip.

mp5 i've killed about 4 in one clip, more if i go semi auto and snipe with it.

its all about aiming and movement penalties to recoil in this game

i'm not saying that running and going fullauto isnt a good idea, but only in the right situation. ie. indoors
you try and out on a street vs any noob with a rifle and he'll own you in the face before you can even get close enough to draw an outline of him in bullets.

beaware that running foward in a straight line will give you more accuracy then strafing left and right while running foward, strafing will move your shots either to the left or right of your target, like i said above, every movement you make affects your aim.
logic dictates, dont move at all if you want to hit something far away, and better yet, use semiauto for long shots and burst/auto for close in.


best advice i could give anyone new to FA is pick a config, either the default (which i dont like at all, you can change them by editing the .txt files) or select your own loadout and STICK WITH IT.

each weapon in FA is one of a kind and no 2 guns will behave the same, you just need to find one that fits your playing style and master it.
learning to use the different fire modes will turn you from noob to leet in about 10 seconds flat.

ahh yes the m79 the only true weapon i dispise, gp25 and m203 arent bad choices either you get the rifle too. but you need to get artillery skill to use the grenade lounchers on the rifles... ie the m16 and ak74.



who do i have to molest to get the server up already...?

sure thing owly, i here by swear to use only pistols and knifes, because well they are actualy useful...

i could use some more practice in that department anyhow, seeing how stealth skill will give me a silencer on my beretta and about double damage on the knife.

and if you even think about sniping me, i'll just have to pull out the anaconda and scope you in the face .44 magnum style.

Off Topic / Jumping Rant

« on: July 16, 2004, 04:12:09 PM »

then firearms is for you my good friend, if you jump+fire odd's are you will shoot yourself in the head/foot, not to mension the horrible stamina loss of just 1 jump and the huge movement speed loss of the landing.

if you've ever noticed jumping in a mod/game, its proly a lower end mod/game most of the more finely turned ones have removed jumping or as in firearms nerf'ed it so horribly as to take away all usefullness other then climbing boxes.

just my nickel and dime.

wow i checked the pole today and almost wet myself, firearms is winning!!! w00t

yes the famas is quite lame but its easy to counter it with some smooth sniper work, i've also owned quite a few famas players with a mp5 silencer is recomended.

besides its not a bad weapon i dont recomend you ban it, its been adjusted in the last update and seems to be balenced well now... the damage of a 5.56 plus the insane High ROF combined with its small magazine makes it balenced.

its not like the first 2.9 verson that had shotguns ignoring armor so you can kill a guy from 50feet out with one pellet, or the m16 and other 3 round burst weapons that multiplied their damage so it was something like 25+45+60 dmg for each of the bullets instead of the normal 25+35+40 it is now... ( of course all this depends on the armor and wear the bullets hit )


PS, whoever said that it takes huge amounts of bullets to kill someone couldnt be more wrong, yes the weapons will seem horribly inaccurate on full auto ( as they should be ) but use the different fire modes and they become god sends.
HeadShots are what your looking for, always.
save fullauto for those last ditch efforts of spray and pray goodness, and dont forget reload often, sometimes that extra bullet in the chamber will be the one that finds his head.
also note the ammo system is clip based, half used mags cycle to teh end of your mag list, using the "Combine ammo key" is a good idea if you have 2 or 3 mags that are half empty, it will combine them into proly 1 full and 1 almost full mags.


end of my tips for the day, wouldnt want you guys gettin to good off the start without me owning you all in the face with my m60

firearms for the win.

owl your are right about the FA porn the models in that game are just beautiful, then the reloads are acutaly real, as in you safty the weapon, eject the mag instert new mag and cock the weapon then unsafty it.

but then you can get skills like Nomenclature that gives you a -25% reduction in reloading times and thats where the reall XXX pron is, that M4 and M14 nomenclature reloads are just enough to drive a man crazy model'ed so well and smooth.

I'll get a screen shot of the weapons selection screen so you have an idea what i'm talking about.

i'll explain the skills later, but the 2 coolest ones are Medic's and at lvl 2 you can call a medivac helicopter in to evacuate a wounded soldier, and there is artillery class that you can build mortars and drop markers and whatnot. oh and stealth skill that gives you optional silencers on M4 Mp5 Uzi and Beretta 92f plus a hit bonus to the knife.

General / Respect Your Commander

« on: July 07, 2004, 10:48:51 PM »

oh i love nub comms, i always try my very best to get to my waypoint or generaly go where the comm needs me.

i dont always give sugestions cause like you said you gotta learn sometime.

but once you get in the cc dont get out, the marines (well me personaly) will learn the behavior of the said comm and will adjust our playing strats to match, and when you jump out it just throws us all back to bootcamp so to speak.

one name comes to mind in this (athena) soon as she see's a vote eject pop up she jumps out, which is quiet sad because it only takes 1 person to start the vote but the majority to actualy eject the comm, and who really cares about 1 stupid marine.

when you do bump into idiots like that i find it helpful to give them waypoints to active hives and just sit back and watch them die needlessly, sort of a poetic justice if you will.
or even better give them a welder and make them base monkey.

oh i have it, i was a rotten dirty lil dark jedi

i never used the duel blades because they are just stupid, only one fighting style yellow and if you are smart you will know that yellow can be blocked always.

i would let duel blades whale away at me untill they got tired then i would smash their defences withmy red stance.

any true jedi uses one sabre and all 3 stances.

General / Fun With Bots

« on: July 05, 2004, 12:04:35 AM »

i would think that a marine bot would be easier to code, seein how a commander ( comm would proly be the only human on the team ) can give his marines/bots build WP defend WP and weld WP

they just need the bot to listen to the different waypoints, ie select squad of bots, move to hera entrence... they go, as a group and secure the room with the waypoint in it, from there you just waypoint them to rt's and they build, anytime they have no waypoint they request orders... would seem like a cool bot to me, but of course thats if you like the comm chair as much as i do...

i'm not to keen on self thinking bots let alone real marines anyways
far as i'm concerned all they need to do is fire their weapon well but thats just about par for what i expect of all my marines human or not

yeah like how do you get a bot to build stuff?

thats cool though never heard of a NS bot, finaly a realiable trusty marine that follows orders to the T.
who cares how bad they aim, 1 bot just building stuff round the clock would be bliss.
