cosmohk 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Dood, that is awesome - why dont you record a vid to share with us, man? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonFMX 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah, got your message there firefly... pistols definately own. Well I gotta tell ya guys this was an awesome experience. I thought of doing this a few weeks ago but never mentioned it because I thought no one would ever go along with it. Thers a small group of us...... non clan members.... we like to call ourselves independant contractors lol .. anyway. We pretty much own all the missions on hard and then to add fun I start making ridiculous mods. Like multi semi auto Grenade launchers, semi sniple rifles... that does for a few laughs but you tear through the missions even easier. Then all of the sudden someone said lets just use all pistols. I said about how I thought of that a while ago and definately am game. You wont beleive this but we totally owned every mission we played, first try beat them. Usually everyone went without even a hit until the end. One time someone died at the very end from a sniper round to the head, someone else died because of a glitch in the game said they were out of the mission area and killed them.... other than that if we were playing mortal kombat it would of said "flawless victory" at the end. We tried the different difficulty settings and it didnt seem to make any dang different,... never does. So I guess the next step is to make mods to increase AI... or give them more intelligence, or make them spawn in different places or give them more health or something. I would rather give them more free roam or something because memorizing where every enemy is takes the fun from it. They need to be more independat. Have multple spawn points i think. Thats what gives the game its difficulty and why I feel we ran right through the missions, Despte our extreme handicap we new where everyone was and we would of killed them all with freak throwing knives and nunchukus if we had them. as to making a vid.. my free trial to some expensive vid software I had ran out. so... no go there.

Nutlink 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Use fraps to make a little 30 second video then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonFMX 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Use fraps to make a little 30 second video then fraps, whats that ? besides, what could you see in 30 seconds ? would be like you using a pistol yourself. the achievement here is taking out the whole mission with everyone alive and green. would need a 30 minute vid for th at....or however long it takes to complete a mission Ill be having the server up on a regular basis now. Just look for it , server name: JasonFMX- Lite Brigade (Pistols Only) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RAbbi_74 4 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 fraps, whats that ? Highlight vids? Best longshots? Incredible engagements? What you're saying here sounds pretty outstanding. You're being invited to show it off. Some of us would like to see... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nutlink 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) FRAPS is a program that allows you to watch your FPS (frames per second) in a game, take screen shots, and create videos. http://www.fraps.com/ And I just found this, but I'm not sure how well it works since I haven't used it yet. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104102 Edited July 26, 2006 by Nutlink Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats why I started this.. to start a new "fad" . I usually play later in the evening and late at night (eastern standard time U.S. ) ... or start your own server and try it for yourself.

firefly2442 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 There's a glitch with the pistols: See how there's a pistol model as well as a scar L model and he's holding it like a pistol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firefly2442 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I couldn't get Taksi to work. I'll try some more codecs but Xvid froze up GRAW for me.... time for some more testing. Are there any other programs out there for capturing video? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firefly2442 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well, I got it to work with uncompressed video... although 2 minutes turned out to be about 1 gigabyte uncompressed.... Apparently, the program is still in the works because there is no sound either... Plus, it really slows your computer down when you use it. 20 frames per second slowed my system to a crawl and 4 frames per second was... manageable... I guess....

Are there any other programs out there for capturing video? I have to say that pistols was quite an experience yesterday evening. I jumped in for "Strong Point" (my user name was Titus1964 ) and we completed the mission without a pb. What is great about "pistols only mode" is that it forces you out of the rush & gun mentality. With low impact guns, small clips and limited ammo it forces you into covering each others. Looking forward for more of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firefly2442 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hmm, just tried AviScreen Classic which is freeware and it didn't seem to work... oh well. Maybe someone else has some more suggestions for programs. Personally, I think the M9 is the better pistol. Less ammo but very accurate. I was getting like 35% accuracy with the pistol, whereas with running and gunning with rifles I get much less. It certainly forces you to think and act as a team.

JasonFMX 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Personally, Im a fan of the glock. Its just all in my head, i like the way it aims better. But I take the M9 when I want to run silenced. Few things i noticed, it forces you to act more of a team as mentioned plus it makes you use all different tactics all together. its like playinga whole different game. and its also very gratifying to make a long shot with a pistol. you just want to yell out YEAH I NAILED THAT GUY !!

GatoO'Fruits 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Keep on tellin' it, man! This is good stuff! Titus1964 here A few learnings from yesterday evening successful run on Mayday!Mayday!: 1. the best I have achieved so far is a 36% hit ratio with a 11% instant kill ratio. It means that you better not be alone shooting at a single guy or worse engage several tangos at once 2. Better results with triple tap 3. I still prefer SD 4. Go over all the dead bodies (including team mates) to recover mags. If you find a tango with mags then call the teammates because each one can get a mag on the same body 5. Do not stay more than 10-15 meters apart 6. With 3 players have a triangle formation with 1 pointman. 7. No more than one person throwing a nade at a time while the other 2-3 are covering 8. If 3-4 guys are shooting at the same tango he ALWAYS goes down 9. 50cal are a real problem. Use frag or go around Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JasonFMX 0 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) It also of course helps to all be on a voice com like teamspeak and be with a group of people you know are really good your use to playing with......or both. I'm finding that playing with random people, espeically if two are on TS and two arent tends to get hazardous. We dont make it very far. I strongly prefer if everyone is on TS and everyone listens to what I tell them. For instance, if I say stay together then stay together, dont run off. you pull out the bottom block and the whole building falls. also getting people cheating too. I mean its a freakin video game, if you die then just start over. theres nothing to be afraid of. Theres a glitch in the chopper and sometimes the first few minutes of the mission in visual effects, it does end up straigtening up. so you can see when you dont have a pistol eventually. And the sound is imistakable... thats never glitched, if you fire off a scar it sounds completely different than a glock or m9. if you take an attatchment like a grip or launcher that gets spotted real quick and you know they cheated. anyway, pistols still rule. We're starting to take longer shots... Titus is still the man at being marksman. Great games guys, hope to see you all out there.
