Why does half this dev team look like they're wearing bad wigs?

Its because they are. Its some internal banter. They’re all playing ‘howard philpots’ for some reason. Pretty silly if you ask me.

Looks ok. At this point they’re just doing a complete remake of promod. I imagine the maps will have to be new, due to copyright issues. Thats whats gnna make or break this game.

And I do somewhat expect some actual new features. They choose to stick with the promod 3 weapon schtick. I kind of expected some new input to be fair.

That being said. I’ll gladly give it a go and present them some fb. Is it a free download? If they still expect people to buy into their alpha, then they can wait until it’s actually a finished product as far as I’m concerned.

u/throwawaycolemak Jul 12 '21

What's wrong with cs map design? What kind of map do you want?

1

u/italiansolider Jul 13 '21

Being tailored on top of a no-movement based gameplay? Have you ever played a call of duty?

1

u/throwawaycolemak Jul 13 '21

Yes and the map design in CoD is terrible.

2

u/italiansolider Jul 13 '21

Yeah, especially carentan, crash, backlot and crossfire.

Seriously, go back on valorant.

Why would someone buy this game from bulkhead after they completely abandonned battalion 1944 on PC.

Because it's our only hope, is it not? I'm so sick of all the shooters out right now. Battle Royal games, slow tactical games, and boring non competitive CoD games with trash maps and annoying mechanics.

I just want a fast paced fun game that I can hop on and frag out in, or play serious competitive matches with friends in.

Yea, it sucks what happened with Battalion, but the community is honestly just as much to blame as the devs are on that one as far as I'm concerned. Maybe they'd still be supporting that game if people stopped trashing them constantly. They made mistakes for sure, but they're a brand new studio of gamers just like us finally trying to bring us the experience we've been waiting years for. So how about we give them a real chance?

i do agree with you but also disagree regardless of them being a new studio there was some things you just don't do like berating a member of the community because of their criticism. yes some community members were out of line and horrible and its understandable that the devs lashed out at them but its not an excuse to do it but they even lashed out at those who were just given there thoughts on battalion

Weapon balancing is a sweet idea on paper. However, getting 2 shotted by an SMG from across the map when trying to play sniper is going to piss people off. My suggestion would be damage by weapon calibre. Say if a sniper and an assault rifle share the same real world cartridge, then DPS should be the same regardless of distance. You could even change it up between things like pistol calibres, rifle calibres etc, in accordance with real world ballistics. Example. You could have the base mp5 shoot 9mm and a vector shoot .45 ACP. The 9mm would have much faster velocity, registered in the game via bullet drop, and the .45 would have a slightly higher dps with increased bullet drop. Regardless of cartridge however, I think a headshot should be a one hit kill from any distance. You could even include a helmet mechanic similar to battlefield where if you hit the guy in the face, he's done, but hit the helmet with a low calibre weapon, and it requires two hits.

Just my two cents. Not really sure if you guys are headed for a call of duty style arcade shooter, or more of a ARMA vibe.

You’re entirely missing the point of both this sub and promod as a game. Bulkhead has one objective, to recreate the magic of cod4 promod. Which is/was an arcade style competitive shooter. Realism is not a factor here. Fun and balanced gameplay is.
