Now I see the whole "I like this cause its tactical and you need to think" idea tossed around fairly often but it just does not match up with the game Bunny hopping, spraying fire wildly, massive health bars, and the whole LAV thing are all anathema to a true tactical experience This is not the thinking mans shooter some fanboys like to tout it as but a throwback to the arena shooters of old only less polished
Now lets take the Rainbow Six games pre Vegas Slow paced, needing to look, listen, check every corner, stick to cover for even in heavy armor a few shots is more than enough to put you down, something that truly was tactical since one mistake would cost you dearly
Now to you guys in the playerbase that do support this as a tactical game I want to know a reason why that isnt related to fittings since thats a fairly weak argument, and to everyone else what were some truly tactical games you enjoyed and wish CCP would take some examples from on how to improve this game I think we use different definitions for GÇ£TacticalGÇ¥.
When I think of Tactical I think of what is needed for my team to win the match, not how to keep myself alive. I suppose that self preservation is tactical too, but I always tend to look at the game from the perspective of a squad or field commander.
Tactical: - How many objectives do we need to hold, and for how long, to win this? - If we only hold 2 objectives to their 3, are we far enough ahead to win anyway? - If they are this far ahead of us, how many objectives do we have to hold to get ahead of them before the timber runs out? - Should we play recklessly in order to win by Objectives, or should we play conservatively to avoid losing on clones? - If there is a full squad at this Objective, and more at that objective, then which Objective is likely to be weakest. - Which set of objectives would be easier to defend? - Is that Supply Depot an asset to us, or a risk to our tanks? - Should we hit this Objective in force, or split up and try to take two Objectives at once.
It goes on and on, but hopefully you get the point. |
