Robocop

=VG= Bones LAN_WROTE ... Robocop LAN_WROTE ... This game really frustrates me and im not flying it much now. Robocop do mind elaborating? I fly FC2 (F15, Mig29, and the SU-27) quite a bit and maybe I can help you out with whatever it is that you are having trouble with. My problems are mostly with situational awareness. Its very hard for me to find threats or targets until im already being shot at ... then its usually too late because i can never evade any missile thats fired at me. I dont usually have this problem in falcon where ive evaded up to 4-5 missiles fired at me before because I can actually see them coming in and act appropriately. Its just damn near impossible for me to see incoming missiles in fc2. I know the reason why is because my pc isnt really up to the best specs for running the sim so all my settings are on low. Black shark on the other hand im doing quite well in.. mainly because i can hover for a bit and scope out an area to find threats then attack. And having an "ABRIS" helps out alot.

it is possible to have other flyable planes but like in falcon it only changes the FM and the type of plane while the avionics and cockpit will still be the original. So far ive tried the VNOA mod for the f-14 and f/a-18F flyables. I think there is a few other flyable mods out there but i havent tried them. This game really frustrates me and im not flying it much now.

Awesome post. Good info. I think ill be trying this tactic out tonight. Thanks for the info.

I just got this and though Im not convinced that its the next falcon or anything it is pretty fun to light up ground targets with an A-10. So far thats the only aircraft ive dared to try mostly because im familiar with it. Next will probably be the f-15 or the su-25t. Could be fun to have some online training or maybe even a simple mission or two sometime. Question about the mod though i noticed in the readme some things about hires... Will this have any effect on framerates at all because im already pushing it with my current hardware?

Yes this looks cool im gonna download and try it. Reminds me of a game called Penumbra alittle bit.

Yep I agree with you about Dystopia. You have to be on crack to keep up with those folks. Neotokyo is on the other end of the spectrum and some people think its too slow paced. It reminds me of Rouge Spear except with cyborgs.

Well i know im bringing up an old topic here but i have to mention Neotokyo. The more ive played it the more i begin to love it and Imo its the best tactical shooter around.(i know you guys will shit on that remark but I havent yet played arm-a okay :D) Im sure many of you have heard of it and believe its a dead mod but almost everynight you will find the neotokyo fans that stuck around online. The best thing about that is there arnt any noobs tking all the time and being dicks. Its mostly veteran players who have a good scent in tactical gaming. So guys if you havnt already, please look it up, download it, and give it a go. You will die alot at first but remember that team work is key and youll live much longer. http://www.neotokyohq.com/

Lovin the VG skin man! We've got to fly some tight formations with those.

Coolest thing ive seen in a long time. If everyone rode bikes there would be no traffic problems.

Yeh a cyberpunk MMO would be awesome. The closest thing ive found was Anarchy online and Face of Mankind but I never really got into them because of the time you have to put into it to get anywhere. What I like about Neotokyo though is not so much the cyberpunk elements but the tactical side of it. Check out this video. It shows what this game can be with the right amount of teamwork and tactics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haPgtFD1Eas&fmt=22

Hi there , I just came across another steam hl2 based mod that im really excited about. Its called Neotokyo. Its a futuristic tactical shooter where the object of the game is to capture a "ghost" for your team and get it to the extraction point on the map. If youve ever seen Ghost in the Shell its supposed to be based off of that. One of the things that makes this game fun and very challenging is that you get one life per round. No respawns. So you rly have to be on your toes and plan out your movement well. It also has one of the best soundtracks ive heard for a game. Anyway, check out the site and the forums and please try this one out if you like cyberpunk/Sci-fi/tactical shooters. The community is very small and it needs all the help it can get. http://www.neotokyohq.com/index.html Peace, Robo

Yes they are great (especially Portal) but beating a human opponent is so much more rewarding :)

Yeh in 1.2 it was very hard on the player that was just starting out. In 1.3 theyve made some improvments like arrows telling you where to go and bunnyhoping is alot easier. Insurgency is an okay mod but that thing has been done so many times. I dont see it all that different from counterstrike. (just my opinion im sure its not) What brought me to dystopia in the first place was that it is different. Not the ordinary modern warfare, WW2 FPS. I still love those too though. Also if you do like WW2 and have Red Orchestre. Check out the Darkest Hour mod its great. http://www.darkesthourgame.com/

Pvt. Pirate LAN_WROTE ... the game mechanics are fascinating, but its too fast paced for me. didnt seem to be based on tactics much, but just on how much you're used on the game and your class. This is true but the tactics dont realy start until you get in to Pugs and DGL. Then it starts to get interesting. DGL is Dystopia Global League Its an international competition put on every year. Teams consist of 5 players to a team.

Actually after doing some searching it is mentioned in the blog. Though he hasnt got it completely working yet.

Its the Scottish flag with a shield and sword I mounted on it. Hanging on the wall at the top of my stairs. It does look kinda orange for some reason.

Today Dystopia 1.3 was released. Dystopia is a cyberpunk mod developed on the Half Life 2 engine. Its not the traditional FPS shooter really. Its pretty fast paced and set more or less around teamplay, tactics and individual skill. It does take some time to get used to but once you get the hang of it your hooked. It does require you to have Steam and HL2 ... and the sdk i believe.

!ill !ill !ill This will be awesome when it gets done. Black shark is cool but it cant beat a good Apache sim. I just wonder if its going to allow MP pilot/copilot like longbow 2?

damnit ill be on tonight for sure

This is why I use a rocking chair.. comfort and stability. Hope your back gets better though ... back pain is no laughing matter.
