k, my english is not so good, so ill be quick ´n´clear.
when i saw the SF page updated and the mirror to download i picked it up. during the download time i read the manual. all looked pretty. i load it, and thhe presentation and music is good. i selected find multiplayer games. first bad thing. you have to wait until the game parse ALL the games out there (this includes normal UT games..), and usually the server browser become bugged and the -NGI-Duel 1vs1 in morbias appear, appart from another 4 billions of UT games, and tactical ops (...!) ones. then, i get into a server. high pings, people running and jumping everywhhere and everytime, breathing like whor*s being rap*d, so the innovative sistem to avoid players who only run & jump doesnt work. nobody cares if others can hear him. and, the worst thing, people blaming-flaming-insulting every poor guy who is newbie and havent changed his name. why they have to piss the others in this way?

"...so u ar s0 r3tard that u c4nt chhang3 ur fvkking name? idiot! die bicht!..."

-WTF is this?
mmm, let me gess who is the idiot here...

apart from players who believe they are the rox´on on the world, here comes the game itself. the player models has nice textures, BUT, they are monkeys. the arms are too long, the legs short, and the chest is big. and the helmet, is, well, like the ID4 mothership. those are the SF team. the terro team have long legs, thiny body, and very, very very big hands. they look just so weird. some weapons are coll, others not.
really, it COULD be a great game, but it needs much work. the maps are great. and really great.

i know, i am not an expert reviever, but i wanted to tell everybody what ive seen. my 2 cents.

Well, frankly I couldn't care less. If people like that kind of mod, then be it.
For the rest of us, there's INF:)

I tried 1.60 just for the hell of it. What can I say, SF will always be SF whether the version is 1.60 or 9.50.

I dunno what game you were playing, but in SF you can't hardly run and you most definitely can't jump too much or you will be going nowhere once that heartrate thingie goes up very high.

Change servers. Maybe the one you were one has 'reality' disabled...

I love both INF & SF, I guess I just have a wider palette for these sorta games, although I can't stand TO. :D

INF is extreme realism with ok maps and animations, SF is action/realism with incredible maps and animations. I see too many people sticking up for INF, it's really unnecessary when you think about it. They're both great games. :)

I'm with you Ballistophobia.
I love both mods and play both regularly.
Some days I feel like Infiltration.
Some days I feel like Strike Force.
Some days Inf pisses me off
Some days SF pisses me off.

I just love games with guns that let me hunt and kill others online.
Both games rock!

I think some feel that they would be "betraying" infiltration and the infiltration team if they liked SF.

Play=Good

From a totally unbiased point of view I must say that the best thing about SF 1.60 is the installer and the maps, both are very proffesional and well done.

The first gun I tried was the Mac10 with suppressor, imagine my suprise to see a HUGE muzzle flash shooting out from it (even from 1st person view), I almost died laughing.

The weapon reload animations look like total crap.

I have to agree with Ramon on the player models looking funny as hell.

The gun report sounds are horrible.

I tried playing online but like Ramon said you have to ping every single UT server in order for the SF ones to show up, I got bored quick waiting for the servers to show up and decided to go jump into a game of INF instead. :D

Just my 2 cents.

I had absolutely NO problem getting the SF servers to show up. You should have a "SF only" server window...when I clicked on "Populated servers", I got only SF servers...

I don't have too much of a problem with the character models...except that they still appear to just be new 'skins' for UT characters. I am with Ballistiphobia with regards to my opinion on both mods. Sometimes I want to play Inf., sometimes I want SF.

..on a side note, I personally think that SF movement speeds are very good, except I still don't see much difference in the 'sprint'. The SF running seems a bit more realistic(--gasp--) than the current Inf. speed.

/me ducks from the falmethrowers being aimed in his direction. "I still love Infiltration! Please don't kill me!":cool:

I agree, SF has much better movement speed, though I wish sprinting was a bit faster.

The slower pace forces you to work steadily as a team to wipe out the other team. When you see CS'ers running around trying to circle strafe, they're the first ones killed each round. Always.
