lets not pretend that sniper town aged well.
I grew up on PS1 MOH games but this... this is hands down the ultimate WW2 experience. Diving into this after binging Band of Brothers for an entire summer afternoon was probably the coziest I ever was.
Call me edgy but are there any more game that show Imperial Japan brutality?

Man, Day of Defeat Source is probably the only Valve game left with good community.

>>318257170
I feel like underground was better. I'm still impressed by that game, for its time it was a really smart fusion of using limitations in a way that enhances narrative. Much like silent hill really.
dude i DLed it like a year ago and played non stop on my old shit rig. people actually still play that shit.
then all of a sudden i was like "this is really bad" and uninstalled it. the nostalgia goes out like a light suddenly.
>>318260098
indeed, Underground was the best, original MOH close second. some of the most atmospheric shooters ever made, that AI amazes me even today.

I played the first MOH and MOH Resistance on PS1 back in the days.
iirc you could even play as a german sheperd acting like a human, dont remember if it was the original moh or Resistance though.
So, so many hours spent on that one bridge map with a friend, killing mercilessly each other, split screen deathmach was hilarious.

>that level in the armored car in MOH Spearhead
>>318257893
Yep. I fucking hate what they did to CS. I mean it's not that I hate GO as a game, but community has changed so much I can't play. Matchmaking killed it imho. Back when you used TS to organize a match everything was better, even the retarded players were better they were at least funny.
>>318264571
I love matchmaking. More games need the 5vs5 small scale skirmishes where you can play with your friends. CSGO is a terrible game with bad mechanics and RNG bullshit but setting a game up is quick, easy and just convenient. Thats the biggest appeal of it.
>>318262626
>that one where you're running through an artillery barrage looking for a medic
I replayed it recently, when I decided to replay the Call of Duty series entirely (since MoHAA is pretty much Call of Duty 0).
Still great. I was surprised to see how much I remembered from it, since I played it when it first came out. Also, you can really see the beginnings of the modern "cinematic AAA war FPS" trend.
PS: fuck that level with all the snipers.
>>318257170

>>318277186
Was thinking more of a non-RTS genre
>>318275172
I thought it was cool how dark and gritty World at War was. Most WWII games show the war with rose tinted glasses on. I liked that WaW tried to show the war as a horrible, filthy, brutal conflict and I think instead the soundtrack did a good job of that.
>>318272914
One of the absolute best gaming experiences I've ever had.
>>318277397
yes but WAW had more or less the least interesting campaign and missions in the series. soviet parts were mostly shit after the beginning and I really didnt care for the pacific nadefest
>>318264858
Did you even 1.6? Half the fun was meeting people on TS and settin up teams to play. It took longer but it created friendships. Communities sprung up on TS servers, you knew those people like they were your neighbors, there were jokes, there was banter and a bit of tryharding and rage but. Now it just gives you 9 random people, half of them are tryhards that think they will become pro, they shout at you for every mistake and the game is just not fun when you get shouted at by strangers. It's much better to play in a community and all these games with matchmaking do this, they trade the social aspect for convinience and that is not a tradeoff i will ever like.
>>318277069
I'd say it would make an interesting campaign and narrative experience. Especially If they made it a tactical shooter with the beginning you're pretty much steamrolling through Europe. And the middle showing the war effort slowing down but momentum is maintaining. By the final act when the Allied forces make landing in mainland Europe, show how everything becomes desperation as your men cling to the last shred of nationalistic pride they have left to fight.
And leave the fucking holocaust out of it. Maybe put in hints about forced labor camps and have the Vlasov Army show up. But beating the narrative over the head with the Holocaust would just feel cheap. Unless they can somehow weave it into the end scenario where you're just constantly retreating from Ivan and run past a death camp or something. Just don't make it feel like they couldn't wrap up the story effectively that they had to resort to "OH YEAH DONT FORGET FUCKIN NAZIS"
Was there any reason to use any other weapon in MOHAA multiplayer?
This shit here is the closest thing to a modern gun in WW2.
>>318277704
I never said WaW was a good game.
>>318272914
IMO best game ever made.
>>318278325
you would think that there would be more ww2 tactical shooters around. literally the only one existing.

I played through MoHAA last year and it was certainly a good game, but you can see how a lot of the trends that would ruin shooter campaigns were starting during that era. I wanted to play the expansions but they were too much of a pain to get to work in widescreen.
>>318278947
Squad leader should be played by experienced players.
>>318279542
To be fair, if they're sitting in a building, they're not running. You'd have to use other cues to identify enemies.
>>318280165
With 200 hours (mostly played as SL) I'm probably experienced enough.
>>318279674
A few of them actually did have 20mm.
>>318278947
Because that's how it works in real life.

played the game last year for the first time and fucking loved it.

Loved the SC-like movement speed mechanic, loved the inventory maintenance, loved the mission variety, loved the weapon selection. If AI wasn't that wonky it would be a perfect game.
>>318280274
No offense, but when I come across SLs like you (low level but high rank in squad lead) I find a different squad immediately. I don't know who's worse: the low level guys who play only SL or the 80+ who haven't maxed out rifleman.
>>318281094
Tell me, what makes a good SL and how are you so sure I'm a scrub?
>>318280274
I'd say. Fuck ups happen. I'm 400 deep and I still fuck up.
>>318281158
Not that guy, but A good SL stays a little back. Near or on objectives or major push points. Throws smoke to cover the advance of your men. Marks arty. In my opinion.
>>318281356
See, I do all of that.
Except staying back. I mostly try to somewhat recklessly rush in to get behind enemy lines and THEN I stay back so people can spawn on me.
I'm a terrible shot though and I'm complete ass in close quarters.
>that new update
why
>>318278098
sniper rifle was ohk anywhere and there was a freaking bazooka as a weapon. that said once my friend learned you could useleanwithout any movement penalty fights became ridiculous looking swaying back and forth
>>318280850
Man I miss the multiplayer and the big gang of autismos that didn't move onto the next patch.
Sitting for hours on Africa 2 with a sniper called Osamabinladen hiding in the mountains, everyone stalking each other with that fucker just dropping someone every now and then, matches on that Alps road that were just slowly moving forward inch by inch.
>>318281762
What happened?
>>318282705
It's getting stripped of things like 3D sniper scopes and tank spawns are more RO2 like.
Their justification is that the 3D scopes look bad for 2015

>mfw latest patch removes the 3 save limit and lets you save scum all you like
It was overly difficult before but I'm not sure this fixes things.
>>318282975
In KF1 they gave three scopes options - textured, low quality 3D, high quality 3D.
Couldn't they just done as well with textured scope set as default?
I actually wouldn't mind additional textured scope in RO2 since it cause performance drop when using, but DH is a game modern PCs should run max details 4K 120 fps.
>>318281649
Sounds good to me. Sounds like you just gotta get that hipfire groove down. If you ever want to play add me./id/nativeninja
I remember CoD 1 and 2 at least had a lot of pair-set missions where you would take a location in one mission at one time of day then hold in the next, either to capture it or subsequently escape it. Those were the best.
Even CoD4 had missions like that too, but I don't seem to remember any such pairs in the later games.

I remember some stupid MOHAA mod where one person was a toilet and others tried to kill you, becoming the next toilet.
There was also this one server where before round starting you'd have two minutes or so to build up stuff from props - crate ladders reaching skies for snipers, inpenetrable mounted mg nests, box piles to go over some buildings etc.
Shit was unbalanced as hell but you'd get your turn to do it.
>>318283460
>>318283231
I forgot to mention that the option is already in Darkest Hour to begin with. I don't have a link to the forum post but one of the devs said it would also give people advantages over others and would make the game less competitive
>game that has one active server

>>318283916

Wasnt one of the reasons ro1 was so great its strict not giving a fuck about mirroring sides, etc?
Posting what is objectively the best WW2 game ever made.
>>318284352
I've never actually played. How is it?
>>318281158
It's all about map knowledge. Unfortunately, that can really only be gained through experience. While you can learn he basic layout the map fairly easily, it takes more time to learn covered paths to advance, where enemy shooters are likely to be and where you can safely spawn your squad. I've played with some low level squad leaders who have been good and receptive to advice but I've been with too many who are reckless and headstrong. I could take my chances, but why bother when I could join a squad with a server regular? I play rifleman the majority of the time so I won't lose my role by switching squads.
In my opinion, it's all about a solid foundation. Rifleman will teach you all the important skills of the game. How to move to the point, how to shoot and since you have to aim, those extra milliseconds will give you time to identify targets. It'll also teach you to take a defensive approach to situations, since you'll be at a disadvantage toe-to-toe against an enemy with an automatic. All those skills transfer well to squad leader.
It's your game and you play how you see fit, but that's my perspective on things and I've been playing regularly since the beta. I don't play much these days since a lot of the regulars have moved on but it's still very dear to me.
>>318283916

Sentinels is even better imo, but technically not WW2 even though it includes nazis, it's more about intelligence agencies post-war.
