Admins: Please setup the camos to be more similar

Enders · Mar 19, 2001

Gack, enough of the desert or arctic aka "glow-in-the-dark" vs woodland settings. IMHO, both camos should be very similar like woodland vs flectarn or green vs gray or arctic vs urban. I know this would cause more TKs but it's not only more fair but more realistic. I also think it would reduce the amount of rushing you see on dark maps like Kosovo and Docks where the woodlands storm in and can easily pick out those neon-glowing-skins.

Gasp, it might actually force people to go more slowly and use teamwork! The horror!

DarkBls · Mar 19, 2001

Yes. I agree!

Hmm....

I had played with those "almost-similar" camos in the past, and I see a big problem on the horizon:
What about the 800x600 users (like my little bro) ?! They can hardly differenciate between those 2 camos. In CQBattles it's okay, but just try to take out a tango on 50-100m... And you cannot wait for the text at the bottom that shows you his name (and teamcolour)!

Well, I don't like the HERE-I-AM arctic camo. Only good for Chita46 or so...
I just wanna mention that problem...

Ocelot · Mar 19, 2001

YES, PLEASE!!!!
that is what I was saying in my "several questions" post. I wonder if they can set the skins to each map?

boxster · Mar 19, 2001

What does IMHO stand for?

*gasp* - yes thats right, i cant figure it out!

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

Woodland vs Flecktarn? Are you nuts? Once the person is out of a certain range there is practically no way to tell the difference between those two. Try russian green vs russian tan; neither are "neon" but you should be able to tell the difference between them in most cases without too much trouble.

Although I agree, I am forced to disagree.

I too feel sorry for the poor people, with low res systems. How are they supposed to tell. I would love it though, as you guys said, no more rushing, and some proper squad tactics.

Similar, yet differentiated

None of this Black vs. Blue or FleckTarn vs. Woodland, you know what that spells?

Deadeye Dan has the right idea with Russian Green vs. Russian Tan, although I would recommend a solid color on one side vs. pattern on the other. Black vs. Russian Tan for example.

If it's stupid, but works, it isn't stupid.

Eyes-Only · Mar 19, 2001

yeah solids against camo would be good...but I agree desert on woodland is just unfair lol

Dano3000 · Mar 19, 2001

well.....

What i usually do in bot games is have one team be RUSSAIN GREEN and my team be Woodland

by the way, what ever happend to the jungle camo
I MISS IT!!!!!!!!!

Shading the way.....

The_Reactor · Mar 19, 2001

Well, I just say that people should make red team a Desert Camo and blue team a Woodland Camo. that is fair because most maps fit perfectly! ExtremePrejudice is the best with that combo!
Sicily is great too, Kosovo is not very great, but I think the map is not good after all.
CubanDawn goes great, Installation, Flagstaff, Peru and Reactor 6&4 maps are great. I wouldn't include any other maps.

The only way...

The_Fur · Mar 20, 2001

I play 800x600 and my fav setting is russian tan VS woodlands or flecktarn vs black. I have no problem, I don't use the damn indicators, play hudless. You people should really get your eyes checked or perhaps start thinking before shooting.

There wouldn't be any problem if people actually payed attention.

For the low res people you can pick up a TNT2 Ultra for less than $70(US) now. This is what i use and i can run at 1024x768 with no problems at all. Long Range is still tough but it makes no sense to me to go into a night mission with desert camo.

I believe one of the SOB servers is set to desert vs winter which is pretty fair...but again not very realistic.

i'm colorblind. leave it like it is.

Dogboy · Mar 20, 2001

Thats right...your gaming civil rights being violated by the handicapped.

I'm color blind also. As a side note...I've never seen desert cammies that freaking bright in my life. Well, except for the PX, when you first buy them. But give 'em a couple of days and nights in the desert And they get darker as they absorb the dirt and dust of the surrounding terrain.

Come on, God. Answer me. For years I'm asking you why: Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice, where is punishment? Or have you already answered. Have you already said to the world, here is justice, here is punishment. Here...in me...

LordKhaine · Mar 20, 2001

a) TNT2's are **** for UT, I know I had one.

b) CPU has the biggest effect in UT.

I have a P3 500 and GF2 GTS with 256ram, I get 15-25 fps in INF normally, and thats in 800*600*16. Not everyone can afford the latest kit

Enders · Mar 20, 2001

Wow, lots of things I didn't consider. Didn't think about the lower res models since I've been playing in 1024x768 and didn't think to consider the color blind people

Regarding frame rates. I still have my celeron 450A(overclocked 300A) from almost 2 years ago and a V3-2000 and at 1024x768 I get about 40fps on most maps except Kosovo. I guess I see no reason to upgrade

Meshuggah · Mar 20, 2001

how much RAM enders?
