ozzy916 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hello to all you 2008 GR Players, My quarry (the hunted down, as i have felt of late) has to relate to the difficulty of the pre-principal training mission and/or maps in mission one. Are the said maps too easy, average, or too difficult. Furthermore, how is the communication between your team? Is there any conveyance left lol? Are you still talking to one another? Our team does not use TS (prolly cause we don't wanna hear each other) so our disclosure is rather limited (perhaps thats a good thing). Does any team find the grid maps helpful? Do you feel as though your team has to try and go for the extra objectives to make yourselves look exemplary, or just to maintain some pride? Has any of these maps provided your team with the feelings of: excitement, anguish, anger, frustration, embarrassment, exhilaration, exhaustion, or blissful emotions? If any or all of these maps do fulfill these principal emotions, don't worry, your not alone, feels kinda cool huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) many, like yourself, have found the opening mission easy - and it was planned this way. what better way to drive away competitors then too make it too difficult at the start? having said that - you did not claim the 100 points in all missions - which means the screws have and will continue to tighten. this i promise you Edited March 18, 2008 by Lightspeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the main problem with GR1 is the crappy so called compass at the bottom of the screen. The standard compass does not seem to tally with the map and confusion sets in. This is the last thing you need on the battlefield. Is there a mod anywhere that with correct this compass to read correctly.....i.e....North, South, East. West ? I do not see this as a cheat in any way, just a fix for a badly designed compass in the first place ! I am having to descibe to the sniper physical items near target tango so as he knows where I am referring to. In real life, even if they didnt navigate by the stars, they would carry a correct compass. Nuff sed. CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Hey CJ, you can use our command maps with grids to orientate your sniper in all missions but the training one - yeah there youll need a physical items description to get job done, plus in any and every map the compass - as you know, the colored pip inside the largest ring of threat indicator indicates north, no matter wich direction the soldier is facing.

{B:P:R}Joker Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 are the command maps on the download section of the fourms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 the command maps have gridmaps overlaid directly on to them so u dont need an additional grid overlay - you'll see on all the maps you play - they are already in the mod. thank Eternal for those.

Simo Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) well i dont think that the threat indicator is wrong for 2 resons: 1.- it is NOT a compass.. it is a threat indicator so i doesnt have to show any direction at all 2.- even if it were a compass it would be really boring to know where your enemies are...now there is a way to use it more or less effectively, but of course this only works when playing WITH the yellow things on(threat indicator)... when playin with the yellow bars simply move your rets left or right, and when the yellow bar changes position according to the direction you moved the rets, u get an almost 100% chance of getting a correct position of your enemy... for example, the yelolow bar is on the left side of the indicator, so you move your rets to the right, just when the bar moves to the top of the indicator, you can get an imaginary line of the position of the enemy(wich would be in between the bars´change of position) i dont have any screenshots to make myself clear... but i just hope i was clear enough... on another matter the maps are awesome... training mission was fairly easy, but mission one has been quite a challenge for us mainly because we play really fast and sometimes we hurry too much and get shot... never the less we´d never be able to play without comms it´d be imposible specially when the team gets separated or when we are in the middle of a firefight Edited March 19, 2008 by Simo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJo1964 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I did not mention anything about the threat indicator part of the indicator at bottom of screen, I was talking about the compass part of it (or lack of). Thanks Thales for clearing that up for me as I forgot how to use it......DOH ! CJ (PXS Bravo Team) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a useful tool for getting your bearings as long as you remember the arrow always points North. The Yellow dot which is normally in the middle is a Threat Indicator in the middle of the rings - and it should NOT BE USED AT ALL FOR THIS NOR ANY OTHER GR MISSION EVER!!!! Fortunatley, Thales has disabled this feature for the Tourney bcoz he's a frikkin champion and thinks of everything so bad luck if you're a slave to the TI!!
