this is supposed to simulate, for better or worse, that when someone is shooting back at you - when you are in a real-deal WAR - that firing a gun accurately is not as simple as the pinpoint precision of aiming a mouse on your desk. also, maybe you were under suppression effect? when someone is shooting at you (or, in the SP, even when your allies are shooting near you), the screen grays out somewhat, and your aim kicks around, etc. still, i would think one direct hit with AP would kill infantry. also regarding your comment about the tank shot, possibly you are using AP round which is anti-tank, instead of HE round which is anti-personnel. possibly you are hitting some obstruction. if you don't aim the gun, you will usually miss!) one headshot, usually one center-of-mass body shot, will kill. (are you using the "focus"/breathing control ability? at the very least you have to iron-sight, most of the time. every gun in this game is powerful, and if you are not killing people, it's because you're not hitting them in the right spot, or possibly not hitting them at all. I'm a "one-man army", cuz, you have to be. not trying to brag, plz believe me, but just pointing out some perspective. no pun.) but i've been into RO2 MP for a few months and just started playing the SP, and, difficulty-wise, I am pretty much tearing it up on the hardest skill. I'm pretty new at the game myself (but not new at shooters by a long shot.
so, as much as I hate the cliche: "this is not COD". i will try to help distinguish reality from your impressions.įirst of all, the "realism" and brutality has always been the hallmark of the RO series, if you were not aware. There's lots of L2P issues going on here. If you're a "recreational" shooter as opposed to a hard-core grizzled FPS vet, you probably should not consider this game. It sounds like group play goes smoother, but I'm partial to single player. I like a challenge but am having a problem with playability on this bad boy. Any yes, even with a tank round it takes several direct hits to drop an uncovered enemy grunt. Great graphics, but even a normal enemy has a one or two shot death wish like the biggest bosses in a dungeon on other games. I might try playing the bottom stupid level to see if that helps, but all I can do is say Kudos to those playing upper levels, and I'm beginning to think my money wasn't well spent. Numerous times in either campaign I was killed as soon as I rezzed without being able to take a shot. I spent maybe an hour on this campaign toying with my squad, grouping or working from heavy cover, attack charges, etc., and can't get passed the second set. ? If I'm still alive and shooting, that's hard to accept. I had my squad stationed at multiple points, and even had a roomfull of squad and the set would end saying we were defeated. There's a machine gun which shows up on 4 out of 10 starts, and if you get there fast and equip, you get shot from behind even though the enemy is just beginning their charge from the house area. I ground through the Nazi campaign, and can't even progress on the Soviet campaign. On the other hand you get hit once or maybe twice and you're dead. When I was lucky enough to have a sniper rifle, I'd have to shoot a dude 5-6 times, even if they were stationary, and while using a scope. Even then, with the weapons provided, your one-shot BB gun won't put down many of them. I found if you laid back a ways, the enemy would evenuatlly come out and attack. I finally found one who was firing from behind a fence, and all you could see was a pinpoint of muzzle flash. You could see where the rounds came from, but even with a scope you can't spot the enemy easily. I got frustrated and just hid behind a barrier to try and spot any shooter. On entering the campaign, I died 8 times before I even saw an enemy. I played at the regular game level to start. I play a lot of FPS, and after all that training I was dumping all targets on one shot - even the farthest which look like maybe 100 yds. I replayed the training cycle maybe 6 times before I could get to the campaigns. I had some problems right away with training - either things didn't work like the ladder climb, or it would hang up in mid-training and no controls would work. I was wary of the game by reviews and comments from several different forums, but bought the game anyway.
