**** YEA!
Now all you need to make is a better interface for the effects
Like gmod =)
Now that's really sweet. I actually bought CS:S, Lost Coast, and HL:Deathmatch, just to play this. AWSOME 3rd person. However, bullet time doesnt work? :S
in the console type "exec hardboiled"
btw, I've always wanted to know - is Hardboiled a reference to those John Woo movies with bullet time and gun-fu?
ok what you need to do is open up consol and type the folowing
exec hardboild
or
exec neo
both unlock bullet time but neo gives you unlimited ammo :D have funn
You know waht would be super fantastico awsome? 3rd person that works like Gears of war third person and that whole cover thingy.
This mod is really successfull.
I think they should make it better and then sell it on Steam.
any chance to get coop in this mod?
Have you tried lowering the enemy's skill?
in the setup map you can change their weapon skill.
Just wonder, anyone else having INSANELY hard time in single player? :/
I die in like 3-4 hits from pesky SMG and shotgun kills me on sight. Pistols are a bit powerfull to againts me.
Armor don't do a thing what I have noticed.
The AI got wallhack and aimbot at the same time and are not shy to use them. They even try to hit you through walls.
It got to a point where I actually put on God mod to even see the new guns and such.
After a while I wanted to try all the new guns but due to this tactical feature I can't carry more than than like 1-2 prime weapons on number 2-3 which makes testing new weapons a very bad thing.
So far I just find it ridiculous hard in single player and I think I'm on the middle level to. Btw how do I turn off HDR but keep the rest on except for motion blur and the blod thingy as they kinda breaks my system pretty good. Well not HDR but the other two does.
Otherwise nice mod with nice weapons so far but a bit to hard. I'm not even going to bother on hard to.
Loving the mod, really good fun. You've obviously spent a lot of time on it, and it shows. However, there are some things that I didn't like so much.
For instance, the load times. I don't know if you plan to optimise it in future, but I recommend doing so, as at the moment the loading times are horrible. Even after dying and loading where I was a few minutes ago, it still takes around a minute to load, which is a lot considering what fantastic load times HL2 (and even older versions of SMOD) had.
Another thing is the AI. Like Zefar said, it is insanely difficult. Even on Very Easy with AI skill set to Insurgent I was still dying every time I encountered an enemy. And believe me, I'm not a n00b; I completed HL2 on Hard, and it wasn't too much hassle. You might want to limit the amount of grenades the AI throw, too: if I was behind cover the AI would throw grenades until I died or was flushed out.
One more thing that's bothering me a bit is the weapon system. I can't really see how the weapons are classed; I thought it was SMGs and Heavy Weapons, but I was unable to swap a UMP45 for an MP5. It's also annoying that the RPG doesn't have it's own class, as the other heavy weapons are more useful some of the time, but the RPG comes in handy when you're fighting against gunships etc. that can only be defeated with that particular gun.
Final point: stability. This only happened rarely, but if I fired off more than 500 shots with the minigun, the game would crash. Not really a big deal, but would be cool if you could clear that up.
I hate to rant, it's a really fun game, and Ravenholm was intense. Clear up these few issues and you'll have the perfect mod!
Thanks for the input.
As for the grenade thing.
KEEP MOVING.
I tried to make the skill more accommodating to more players, but the realistic nature of the weapons may require you to adapt your tactics. The badguys have been tweaked to respond to threats more realisticlly, like shoot through a wall if you dive behind it, and throw grenades to flush you out. This can make encounters that used to be easy... CRAZY HARD. sometimes easy sections in HL2 become 2x harder because of the way the new Combine react. I suggest looking at my forums in the off-topic section for "Tactics". Shakken has some real-world tactical tips that show why normal FPS tactics don't work, such as "crowding cover" and "becoming stationary". Really good stuff.
Smod-tactical.com
But don't get discouraged, I die alot too.
As for the load times... its an issue with SMOD that I can't resolve.
The only solution is to run under "low" graphic effects, which I admit is lame, because you miss out on some neat special effects.
Hell ya! Go go Phatcat!!!

Ehh guys, which content you need for playing Delta 5 please? Is DoD Source requied?

Guys, how do you turn on motion blur/field of vision-gun blur? I first had it on medium settings but then when I tried to turn it back on high settings (the high settings gate in the setup), the motion blur/field of vision was gone. How do I reactivate it? thanks
