Joint Ops - muppetland

[FUNKED1]

I still think JO is a great game.  It's not a good simulation of any type of real combat, but it's a very nicely balanced game with a good strat model, huge maps, and 75 players per side.  
I doubt I will play it much now that BF2 is out, but don't knock JO.  BF2 isn't exactly a high fidelity sim either.
Good luck with the server, muppets.

Well, I bought the game, even though I probably don't have enough money.  

I have to say, I'm really dissapointed by the type of gameplay all around.  Strafe whoring, MG toting, dweebiness all around.  

No one sits still to take a shot.  All they do is run back and forth spamming up an auto relying on luck rather than skill.

No one goes for cover.  No one tries to use cover.

Hell, no one uses any teamplay.  I have yet to meet a single person online with an IQ over 20.  And I'm not exhaggerating about that.  People fly helos that swerve all over the place.  I CAN'T GET A SHOT OFF IF YOU ARE CHANGING DIRECTIONS EVERY HALF SECOND!


I thought that Muppetland would be my respite from all of this.  A bunch of intelligent people playing smartly and using tactics.


It wasn't.


The game is going back tomorrow morning.

lol Not sure what you were expecting?? strafe whoring?? umm.. lol   should they stand still for you to shoot them?? lol

Too bad I missed you in our server as I was not able to play yesterday, if you did..

And moving and shooting in a fps IS skill my man.. lol  That is if you can do it acurately..  You can't sit in one cover the whole time.. lol  thats camping I thought..  anyway, sorry you had a bad time..  i did warn that not many would be able to shoot with us their first day.. lol

Don't think you will be able to return an opened game, but good luck with that!  

Thanks Funked..  we'll need it.. lol  Gonna be interesting trying to fill it up.. 8)

No, they should stand still to shoot back, or possibly move very slowly.

This simple modification alone would make the entire game THOUSANDS of times better.

It's just not any fun when guys are full out sprinting in circles strafing each other to death with M60's.  There's no skill or brain use involved in this.

I think he's getting at the realism angle.  In JO you can make headshots at 150 yards while running sideways at 10-15mph.  Try that with a real rifle.  
Personally, I just pretend the characters in JO are little robot tanks.

I likke JO in many ways ..... some things just annoy me to not wanting to play it

Like unlimted nade launcher  spammers

like shooting and hitting guys with knifes only to have them prone at your feet and slice your boot for a one shot kill

tho's are major things that just make me not have fun..... and there are few others that bother me but these two seriously take away the fun factor for me most times I play

[lasersailor184]

All the shooting games I play are realism.  It was a cultural shock to come to JO and find out that it's easy as pie to run full speed to the side while shooting the M60 only to suddenly change direction then get blown up by the 3 RPG lamers.



It's very unfortunate these days when MODS of games are better than full retail games themselves.  If you have an old UT99 CD, look up Infiltration.
