    I’m at work so I’ll keep it brief, not a bad game, I don’t like the ranking/keep the kids happy upgrades happy.
    These morons with the GL’s should piss off(you can tell the way this is going)
    Game itself I’m quite enjoying but the one thing that is annoying me and i’m probably the only one is the lack of peripheral(spelling???) vision.
    In BF2, Vietcong, BF2142 you can sort of sense people around and when you get killed you pretty much always know where the person was who shot you, In COD I’m getting killed (new so it’s understandable) then the kill cam shows there were 2 people in front of me and I’m like thinking “I didn’t see either of them” but according to kill cam they were in plain view and stood right in front left or right of me.
    Now if this had only happened one or two times I wouldn’t even think about it but this is happening 7 times out of ten and I’m finding it bloody annoying, now I realise I’m getting old but I don’t have this problem with any other FPS it seems only with this one for me the view seems very restrictive on the outer left and right of the persons view.

    anyone else having this issuse or is it me being a twat??

    Overall I like the game.

    do you have widescreen? if you have the ingame ratio is wrong, will dig out the command you ned if i can remember 😀

    also there are a lot of clipping issues ie when someones looking over a wall (from there point of view, gun and head are over it, but you only see the top of there head 👿 )

    max came up some stairs last night, and shot me (not unusual) i could only see about half an inch of his head. pretty bad coding if you ask me, which will never get fixed. RO had a similar prob with leaning but it got fixed.

    i also think there is some kind of lag compensator built into mp, which may cause some issues.
    for a more enjoyable experience join smaller servers …max 18 say(we should make ours this size maybe that will sort our issues out

    imho its an ok game, maps are too small, unless its six on six max there is no teamplay, its definitely a reflex game, me personally will get back to RO when the mare nostrum mod comes out in march.

    tbh i would not play it if the majority of xdc didnt play, last night was a right laugh with some quality teamwork, nice to see Ryzo get bum fecked….and then re joining ..pissed meself.

    btw our sever is a right pile of shit, can we limit the amount of games we have running on it, because we do not seem to be getting our monies worth, seems a waste of money really.

    I’ve had problems seeing people as well, but put it down to being shite. I have widescreen so I’m wondering what you mean about the ingame ratio nom, is widescreen not supported by the game?

    Definately a much better game on small servers, large games may as well just be free for alls.

    Yeah ive had many a wtf mate? where was he moments but then ive had many people run past me who should have spotted me, i turn around and shoot them in the back, swings and roundabouts. Yes the maps are too small but im enjoying some of the custom maps that are appearing, backlot2 is very cool, the original backlot has been opened up with much more access to buildings and rootops including the building site and the long bombed out building, i’d deffinetly recomend checking out customs on other servers and mybe putting some on the xdc server, though the mods required will de-rank the server.
