<div class="IPBDescription">The reason RL would be a bad game</div> Clips are used up in about 1-2 seconds.
You miss everything.
You can't jump.
You can't respawn.
Your teammates kill you in 1 hit.
The enemy kills you in one hit.
No time to react to being shot - your already dead.
Being a camper would be the best way to win.
Being a sniper would be the best way to win.
Grenades would pwn all.
Only gun you'd use is a silenced sub, like a variation of the MP5.
Hit anything at range without very precise and slow aiming wouldn't exist.

Or hell, just play rainbow 6 on full difficulty.

    Here's how to add a touch of realism to NS, tho it might weaken the marines a bit: Remove the crosshair, and instead add a lasersight like they have in te trailer.

    Here's some realism for you... When the game starts, the commander has the option to beam all of his marines off the ship with a phase gate, and self-destruct <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Laser sights are **obscenity**, and you've gotta be really really STUPID to suggest this. Ever play as an alien against the marines on servers with lasers on? You can own. A lot. You know the marines are aiming at a wall or at the hallway ready to take you out.

    And if they were going to add any sort of 'realism' to the game the first thing would be to TONE DONE THE **** MUZZLE FLASH.

    Sure, everyone who doesn't agree with you is stupid. I know it'd weaken the marines, but it will be in line with the trailer then. How about marines also have the option of switching off lasersights? Aiming will be harder, but then irl it's the same thing. Maybe give the aliens some kind of nerf as well.

    you don't have the problem of realism in this game, because realism can be whatever you want its SciFi

    now if your talking about.. well cs/dod/ts/cin whatever then you have to find a balance between realism and gameplay

    Try playing on <b>ns.lanvancouver.com</b> or <b>ns2.lanvancouver.com</b> and you will see the problem with lasers. They lag behind slightly, which would throw off your aim, they reveal your position to the enemy, which is an un-needed disadvantage, they cause higher pings, but THEY LOOK SO SUPER COOL AAND ARE REALISTIC!

    Except that they dont even look that cool, and I'm sure if you aimed a laser somewhere in real life it wouldnt take a quarter of a second for it to actually shine where you are pointing.

    Maybe they could fix the lasers, I remember playing on TFC a long time ago and the sniper laser was right on...when I had 56k.

    The lasers are server side right now, which is why when we look at other players it looks normal, but on ours is laggy. If they made it client side...well that would fix it, but who wants lasers?
