Firearms

Gnatsum

<div class="IPBDescription">The mod.</div> Hi guys, i just want to get something off my chest.
Lately, i've been thinking about this mod, Firearms. Yes i have played it, played it quite a lot before ns ...way way before ns. Yes i have heard about this mod and how its actually fun. But when i think about it, this mod is REALLY ANNOYING.

It's so anal, i do like its concept and gameplay, but i can't believe they went so REALISTIC. I almost hate EVERYTHING about this game. I don't know where i can start.
Running speeds, meh its kinda slow but not disgustingly slow. I don't know how anyone can accomplish anything running like that.
When you change your guns, theres a 4 second break between each change....nothing can describe how much anger is inside me right now.....
so anyways and the ANNOYING "YOU CANNOT PRONE HERE" message...kinda stupid when you're gettingh it by machine gun fire and you have to take some cover.. bang right in the head... nothing wrong with the guns...i like the conserving of ammo clips and how you can merge them... but merging takes too long anyways... I do also like the medic concept that is easily the only way a medic can be implemented in any mod. and the helicopters...thats only cool for a while...machine guns suck maj0r arse...

m60 is hard to use...it keeps like stopping every 5 or so bullets...annoying.....it would be more better if the mod team had actually names for their teams instead of a soldier in dark green camo and a soldier in white . and their maps...their maps range from ww2 to present day wtfs up with that.

so yeah i just want to get everyones opinions on this mod, i think its just me but i really do .....ugh i can't find there word..... i hate this mod but i don't hate it that much..its just so anal and tedious...can't believe anyone would say firearms is fun..


just my 2 dollars. Look i know mods are free and a lot of hardwork is thrown into it and im glad they actually have a mod called firearms that pits 2 teams against each other with a plethora of weaponry but i just do not like how people are playing it is such a cool game its just that the firearms mod team should do better then this, flames are welcome..bring em on ..no more duckin for flames for me...just don't put any stupid comments like "I like apples" or i will be forced to shaft you. You know where <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

and yes i am eagerly awaiting the next version of firearms...

and no i do not feel like making an account on the firearms website

crap mod
went for the realism aproach anf failed (as all who tried to do it in HL will)

basicaly they got all of the ****** annoying parts of real life and decided thats what should go in to make it 'real'

havn't liked this mod from day one, and yes I did d/l it the day it came out. I periodicly go back and see how it is, and well I still don't like it


lol, I feel negative ;D

Firearms would be great if they diddnt insist on stuffing a bunch of random, useless guns into the mod. How many ARs do you need?

Dubers

It takes far to long to get the hang of it aswell. Not the sort of mod you can master in a couple of hours.

I didn't think it was all that bad. Didn't like it, but it wasn't as bad as, say, desert crisis.

Narfwak

Firearms is just a weapons test. They found a bunch of cool guns, and decided that they wanted to play with them in a game. Unfortunately, they didn't do much in the way a designing a game to put the weapons in. Not only that, but the craftmanship with the which the weapons were constructed was quite poor; most of the weapon models look shody and the sounds "feel" weak.

shot some guy in the spinal cord, seven times, all hits. he turns around, unloads his mp5 into me, i fall off the cliff i was standing on and die from a leg injury. how's that for realism.

I played fire-arms before I got decent at DoD (ranked somewhere in the 90k's for that mod, <1000 for NS (just for comparison, I SUCK at straight FPS)) and was turned off by some if its nuances. Didn't seem to be too bad of a game, though...

Gnatsum

Ahh so im not alone...i've always thought i was the only one who hated this mod.
Showed it once to my friend, he got hooked on it and always pleads me to redownload it...lol.
lol and about dod... whenever i played firearms, and then switch over to dod, i seem to have increased my skill in dod.... seem to be getting more then usual kills

I like FA. Played it a lot in the past. I was a medic that actually healed his teammies unlike most other FA players that chose med skills to only heal themselves. I was one of the founders of the [MED] Guild.

Catpoker

FA 2.6 killed it off for me

2.5, i was the auto-shotte master!

folk

heh, only good thing about that mod is that they included the saiga 12k.

Shrike3O

I liked FA, even got involved in beta testing and development, then left when i realized that the direction i felt it needed to go wasn't the direction it was headed.

I'm always amused when people complain about how many bullets it takes to kill somebody in FA... it's as if they've forgotten that FA's soldiers are wearing *body armor.* ^_^

Thansal

for a mod that is going for realism, body armour dosn't keep you in a fight that long

meh, what ever I thought there probably was not a single redeaming factor about it (I don't like weapon's mods, they are generaly just silly)

Teufel_Eldritch

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get Shrike talking about FA body armor. If you feel FA body armor is to weak or to strong he will be sure to set you straight with facts regarding the longevity of said armor. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Necrotic

Played FA heavily upto 2.5...everybody says it but 2.6 really did send FA down the toilet...

Venmoch

FA had some amazing parts to it. (Parachutes! Weeee!)

It just feels way too slow, even for something realistic...

I loved Fire-Arms, and I still do. But NS has pretty much dominated my HL mod Love slot for some time now. Before NS was vampire slayer, action HL, and yes FA. Before those were CS and TFC and even HL DM.

It was one of the best "attempts" at making a really complete realism based modern warfare HL mod.
Pros: It had a ton of weapons, and almost all were fun, was I think the first mod to have prone, made for nice newer tatics. Included a decent stamina system for sprinting, but it got annyoing at times. Fairly realistic aiming of weapons. And overall nice features and gameplay.

Cons: BAAAAD graphics.(models, design, animation). Slightly unbalanced weapons for "cost". Prone was finicky. Stamina sucked in the first realease. Weird Hitboxes. Really evil community now(last time I checked).
