Yeah pretty much. They're basically a 1v1 and 2v2 unit you get one of and upgrade for the bazookas. You COULD use them as CQC units provided you're on a small map with good flanking routes. Anywhere else and... ehhhhhh.
I am noob. What are you planning on doing with this map?
The room that I've been uploading videos about will be copy-pasted in order to form the apartment block. After that I'll change the textures on the walls and try to make each apartment unique; adding props and other fine detailing work.
Overall, this apartment complex will be part of a "fishing village" taken over by the Combine. The map itself will be focused around the "fishing" gamemode.
I say gamemode, but it's written entirely using map logic, so realistically you could have a gamemode AND still fish. I guess it's more of a minigame at that point. Nobody knows who wrote the map logic for the fishing gamem, but me and a friend think they were japanese (due to the names of the entities; hari, sao, etc.)
From what I have read this is the map editor for SOURCE based games. The thing I saw showed Half Life. Which was based on the Quake engine.
Yep, yep. You bet.
The Quake engine maps were based on using Binary Space Partitioning (BSP). Hammer appears to use BSP also. Quake used the term BRUSH also as a 3D convex object. I seem to recall a brush was needed for the BSP to work correctly. This let the engine divide up all object faces as in front or behind a plane (face). Somehow you can then draw each face in front to back order which greatly sped up rendering in the old days, since most things would fail the Z buffer test and not be rendered fully.
In addition to this (or perhaps, instead of this? Not sure) Valve added VVIS (I think it stands for valve visibility engine or something). While you compile the map, it splits the world into "visleaves", the dimensions of which are determined by the contours of world brushes.
The application then determines which leaves can see each other (or may potentially see each other), and then this information is baked into the map. Leaves which can see each other or can possibly see each other are drawn. Anything else isn't. There are other ways to tweak visibility and object culling but that's how VIS works to the best of my knowledge.
I believe the BSP was also used for object collision. Modern games again have way too many faces to attempt clipping. So there are usually invisible collision objects created that surround a very dense 3D object.
For map geometry yes. However, physics objects do use simple collision boxes in Source. That's all I know about that.
Biggest problem with all nerfs or buffs for DAK is the big difference between USF and UKF
While a simple flameht can be strong against USF and force USF to build t2 for bazooka or spend the ressources for nadeupgrade as soon as possible ...
UKF just chill with tea because boysat rifles will always be ready at the same time where the pio gets his flameupgrade. DAK just wasted early in the game manpower for a unit, which he need to keep on distance at any time and if not - its gone in 2 shots. First shot on long range = 50% hp less and if he try to get close for flamer, he will lose the halftrack 100%.
The general problem for DAK - the design is about a early-mid game faction with support of many light vehicles.
Fighting with just inf will bleed the DAK players manpower balance and will hurt in multible aspects. All other faction have the option to get manpower reductions in one way or a other ( upgrades - battlegroup abilitys ) and have in general cheaper infantry.
A 100% static fight in cheat mod with UFK IS behind green cover on long range vs pzgren in green cover results in a devastating win for the UFK with keeping all 5 models and 60% hp. 300 mp pzgrens stand no chance against 260 mp IS on long range. Even if kar98 would suggest something else, it is better in close combat. So testing maybe pzgren vs 220 UFK pios?
Yep - same result. All 4 models still stand with nearly 50% hp while 300 mp pzgren had no chance in close combat behind green cover. It is just a static fight under perfect conditions. But in general, DAK just bleed manpower in general. You can go closer with pzgrens against IS but while getting close without cover you lose HP and there will be pios nearby or mg, which you need to avoid because you need to tech for nades and flameht vs mg doesnt work against brit because of the point above.
I made screenshots but dont see where to upload here.
So since release, DAK always tryed to reach fast as possible for a unit like flakht or 8rad to gaining the upper hand in the battle against infantry or keep up with it.
Only problem with that is, at this time in a 4on4, UKF will already have at least 3 boysat rifles.
To test it a bit more hardcore, i just made 2 boysat squads on autoattack move against a flakht on autoattack move. First shot on long range sets the flakht on 50% hp - they get pinned, still get the 2. shot out and the flakht is dead. ( both squads close together so they got suppressed both at the same time, which isnt realistically for a real match because a flakht can never suppress the squads fast enough if they are a bit split.
Staying on distance works fine vs bazookas but boysat rifles have a really got range. There is only a very close line between risking your flakht against boysat rifles or finally pinning enough to force a retreat.
If the flakht goes down, at this point you just chill and have basically won your part of the map - centaur call in will be ready soon and boysat deals with anything what a "light vehicle" faction can bring. And because your units do fine without costing that much - you can easly affort still more than the low effort buildorder of boysat + centaur.
To solve flakht - you need to solve the whole faction design.
flakht is without a doubt good and in good hands it can be a pain in the ass. But you walk all the time on a very thin beam if it is against UFK. Any mistake and your vehicle is gone. You can invest even more manpower into upgrades - smoke, more hp etc. and still ... 3 - 4 boysat squads at the wrong time and your vehicles are gone before you can even think about smoke.
Brother I haven't seen "3-4 boys at squad" blobs since a month after release. I can guarantee you that if you switch gears and get squad leader upgrade and an LMG34, you would wipe the fcking floor with 4 boys AT squads. Not even close (as long as they've got CA bonus, which U can give with an ambulance far outside the range of the boys' rifle).
One complaint of Coh2 was there is no light vehicle play. Coh3 brings us to where peoples complaints brought us. It also matches the war setting in the area.
Another Coh2 complaint was heavy tank stall. Thus light and mediums are the focus. Go ahead and stall for a Tiger, I will have map control with my M8s and Chaffees. Then I will snare and circle your Tiger to death.
It seems like Relic did exactly what people asked for. It just needs more VP tick time (not less), so people can play up to larger tanks before the time runs out.
Alright alright, I pride myself on being neutral; I like to change sides every once in a while (though I'm generally not playing Axis right now because, well... I like to play the game, and having to wait 10 minutes between every match is a buzzkill).
I would say that the two factions I'm best at are USF and DAK. Brits I'm okay with I think, but Wehrmacht is a bit difficult for me.
I know people say that the bunker spam is OP, but talking strictly about combined arms here: I think that combined arms as USF is way way better that Wehr. Wehr is so inflexible that it feels like once one thing breaks, everything else falls apart, and so you kind of have to do these weird spam tactics in order to actually be useful on the field.
Idk. Maybe I just had a few bad games, but I really feel like combined arms is a bit of a no-go for Wehr (not so much DAK, however), while for the Allies it's more effective in general.
Everyone can spam bullsh* and be effective (if they aren't countered properly), but I've only felt like a diverse army is effective while I was playing USF or Brits.
What other objects in Coh3 can be destroyed if you A-Move them?
I have heard streamers saying you cant destroy some cover objects.
I have seen Flame squads destroy items when attacking ground.
I have seen random items get destroyed from small arms fire. Things that should never be destroyed by small arms fire like 3 story fuel cells, walls, etc. This is a major problem for mappers and game play in general.
So it seems like most item are easily destroyed (too easy) but items are not targetable? Is that a word?
Usually the attack move thing only works if it's an "entity", I.E. something owned by a player, the AI, or the world. If you left click on it and it has a name, you can attack move on it. Works for things like sandbags too (at least in CoH 2).
