Something Daddybone said I like

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Thing of it is that INF is for the masses, not just the veterans. This is no 'proper' way to do things, except as WE, the members developing the mod put them together. To Do this, OF COURSE we listen to what the community wants, but remember, this is also for FUTURE MEMBERS of our community. More people playing INF is a GOOD thing, so we gear stuff toward that. All the other 'rules' we all follow aren't carved in stone, we've just all generally agreed that there are certain things you don't do... and of course, some people do them anyway. These INF mores are flexible and they change all the time, which is also a good thing, as it makes us more of a community.

this was from a thread discussing auto-reload features but I feel DB's statements reach further. Especially in the light of the last Proximity/Teamwork thread.

The fact that someone in the INF team stated that INF is for the masses, not just the veterans is very encouraging. I also like the statement about no proper way of doing things. So whether you are on the side of extreme realism to more game play oriented or somewhere in between. The message is clear. The game is for everyone.

My complaint is that if we don't aim for more realism why is Inf different from any other game out there? In its current state run and gun dominate just like it does in most "supposidly" realistic games. Honestly I would not want another rehash of CS, SF, or TO. I want a infantry simulator that has teamplay. Democracy kicks me in the ass again. But again, thats my opinion.

Exactly this was on features that make the game easier to play, this had no bearing on the proximity/teamwork thread.
That was about promoting teamwork which... is completely irrelevant to making the interface more user friendly.

Thank you, move along.

My point is the overall message of this game is for everyone, not just you or I. I thought the statement applied to more than just one topic. My reference to proximity thread was because of the tone and many disagreements. JB's statement rings true to all aspects of the game.

It was a message of optimism Fur, don't take it any other way.

Now what was the Proximity/teamwork thread on?
That has nothing to do with whether this game is for the masses or not. The grounds of Infiltration are that it is a realistic teamgame and no masses are going to change that.
The "tone" of that thread became the way it was because of "certain people" missing the previously mentioned point.



The thread in which DB posted was on whether or not a feature to make inf simpeler or not should be implemented. His reply was to state that this only made it easier for the mass of people to plaay the game and it would not have any effect on the rest of us therefor there was no real reason to oppose it.


You somewow thought you could use DB's quote to implicate a connection between the two and continue the debate (which you allready lost BIGTIME):

tactics, teamwork and how they are used or not also affects how easy for people it is for people (newbies and otherwise) to play the game... if you make it so that proximity and scoring promotes teamwork then it is easier for people to get started playing realistically.

inf is for everyone, but it till needs to be realistic, you can play however you want (run n gun, teamwork, moing slow), but it doesnt mean it should work.
