Title: Weapons+objectives AA3
Post by: Ganja on Tuesday, January 07, 2014, 04:12:14 AM
Now that the majority of players have tested the AA3 maps, I think it would be a good idea to vote again for:

- Mission types

- Weapons class

I feel this way, because people voted in the first vote while having no real idea what the maps looked like etc. Now they can judge by themselves which weapons would be the most suitable, and which kind of objectives.

On the other hand I'm not sure players changed their mind, but why not give it a try.

What do you think about it?

Having been banned from the chat, I'll just write here instead
Quote from: teddy
I'm pretty sure ELiZ made the AA3 map layouts as close to what they were in AA3 as was possible.
Need I say more about this? AA3 was a total flop, in every way. Saying I want you to sucide because of it ain't really correct, more like re-think the weapon loadouts and remove that fucking 4x scope, ban it and never talk about it again. M16/m4a1 on all maps.
And saying "the community voted" is....I don't know honestly, you admins should know better than anyone that you can't listen to this community, if you want the game to die and never come back, go ahead and listen to the SF boys in tight spandex pants. If you want shit to happen and old players come back.. Don't listen to the community, i've had 5-6 old clanmates who "tried" coming back, but all there was to play was SF border (lol?) and SF hospital, and the occational SF pipe. There you have it, assist 2014. Great fucking job community, but listen to the community.
"The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter" - Churchill.
Pretty much sums this community up.

I'm guessing more people will start playing these maps since they got re-introduced by the bigclan initiative bla bla (great idea btw) But the weapons need to go. Im trying really hard here not to bitch and moan and offend anyone, which will probably fail since everyone goes mad for nothing.

Only objective type was really voted on.
Weapon setup was done the same on all maps for further discussion. But so far none has really brought up a discussion about it.
The only maps modified after the release was Impact that was changed from VIP to TAH.
We are totally willing to change these maps so that they are more playable.

I agree with every word Ares said, and it concerns not only mAAp pack...

I also think m16/ar loadouts are more suited compared with sf loadouts.

But I also think in general that scopes (and 203s) for everybody dumbs down gameplay. There's a reason why the most long-lasting succesful game has low damage grenades and almost no scopes.

Now AA should not be equal to those games, and the aiming system in there is totally different of course, but the sf weapon favours playing sitting back watching one spot. If I want to get a high fragrate, I have to camp with sf+203, but it dumbs down gameplay. The problem is also that most people hunt for kills instead of obj (people waiting in loading docks at hospi while vip is easily extracting).

With m16 rifles you could do the same, but it is less rewarding to do so, with these kind of weapons you got to be a master in aiming or you have to make tactical plays. sf removes the room for tactical plays.
In real-life, the sf is for special forces only, designed to be easy, designed to take cheap kills, because in real life you want that advantage, especially for your elite troops. But that doesn't mean it will be good for a game. Imo the challenge level/skill gap is too low on the SF. For example if I have rifles or sf on a map like bridge, it makes a huge difference for defense. With rifles assault still has a chance to get further. With sf's with 203s, defense can just sit back, use 203s to kill someone trying to make a move, and easily kill people showing up. With rifles it's harder for them to see and to hit others. Same for border, it's almost impossible to miss with the sf weapon on the distance when watching a spot on defense, while with rifles it's still a challenge.

Unless you can convince me that walking with a 203 out and clicking the left mouse button when someone shows up is immensively fun (it is on insurgent camp though, but that's a lot more difficult to pull off compared to a map like hospital), I would not be in favour of sf weapons with 203s or long distance scopes is better for the game(reflex scope like on wc is a more challenging one though).

I have to give a note here that this is entirely my personal opinion about why m16s are better fit for almost all maps in this game and this does NOT reflect the general consensus of admins.

M16 is still my favorite gun! Sadly the majority doesnt know how to aim with it nowadays... lots of SF noobies now

I would say gif player that do obj and do medic more points the team a little less more points if they win

Coming from a guy in a clan who forceclasses SF on border, ignore this guys opinion forever.
1 - AA3_Airfield    26 slots   M16, 2 smokes, 2 nades
2 - AA3_Alley           26 slots   M4a1, 2 smokes 1 nade
3 - AA3_Bridge       26 slots   M16, 1 smoke, 1 nade
4 - AA3_Impact       32 slots   M4a1, 1 smoke, 1 nade
5 - AA3_Pipeline     26 slots  M16, 1 smoke, 1 nade, 2 flashes.
6 - AA3_Ranch        26 slots, M16, 2 smokes, 1 nade
7 - AA3_Shantytown   26 slots, M4A1, 1 smoke, 1 flash, 1 nade. 
8 - AA3_Stronghold     26 slots      M16/M4A1, 2 smokes, 1 nade.

No snipers on any map, there's no reason for it. If people want to prone warrior themselves, stop doing it.

I'd say
- 4 nades on Airfield (long distance maps have always a lot of nades)
- 2 smokes for Bridge on assault.
- No nades on shanytown and fewer slots like 20

The guns are good though

All the AA3 maps are hard on the computer on this engine. The reason for that is the new engine and all the new 'fancy' stuff the new versions have added and that were brought to this version of AA with the map port. The old engine (ours) just wasn't meant to support that stuff.

As far as I know, Stronghold optimization has been worked on for hours by both Spanky and ELiZ (maybe someone else as well), and they did get the framerate up quite considerably. But it's still a rather large map with a lot of details that were never meant to be in this engine.

7 - AA3_Shantytown   34 slots   s24/m9 , shotgun , 1 grenade 1 smoke , 2 flash
In the begin I did try to make players intrested for this map, already fast players leave
for:
1 -  The rain sound ( just like the wind in Range) to loud !!!!
2 -  Big guns in a cramped map like Shanty is always must i shoot ore hit  you whit my to big gun.
So i did puth in S24 whit m9  , now i think this is one of the best gun setting for this map one klick 1 bullet, the sniper its it must be the sec. weapon not the first.  / Smoke  the obj is viseble from all sides it helps if 2 ore 3 guy s can trow it to that place ore in the corridors for  confusion ore to get the obj sector.
Shotgun : gif one guy Shotgun / Ganade and 2 Flash
Vintoress :  gif one guy  Vintoress  / Ganade and 2 Flash
I think this can make shanty a playable map but first the Rain sound!!!!!   
One adder idear >>>>  :idea:
I wood be intresting if WE self can puth weapons in the slots .  :up:

Gentlemen love maps from AA3 the problem is the intense noise ... more come from trying to put maps from AA3 in..Ba ^ La.. the result has been bringing problem is the noise of impact and bridge ...

IMO, the "noise" is pretty well suited. Compare it to your foot steps and gunfire. I don't imagine in a warzone with all the equipment these guys carry that you can hear your footsteps as the loudest sound around you.
