hasn't exactly grabbed me so far, it's far too difficult to tell the differance between the models the weapons are widly inacurate and are poorly designed, the maps are poor in design and i think the style of gameplay would suit far more open not realistic tfc style maps than the cs style maps it has, and i'm not particully convinced the basic idea of the gameplay is worth it.. perhaps totally redo the maps, change the models and increase the variety in weapons rather than just cs cloned weapons with far less damage and it may be worth it.. i may give it another go but i doubt it.. perhaps if they change the models so i can tell the differance, cos i was haveing great trouble telling the differance, it woudl improve it alot, for a surposed finished mod and not a beta that models being so similair is a big oversight, and i can't imagine that it's delibrate.. can it?

ooh we are being a bit negative aren't we

But some of it its justified - the models are bit similar - something that will be addressed in the next update

Some of the maps quite frankly bite - the ship one and snow being the main culprits - but maps like lombardi , job village and bier are really great maps

but its the first public release - so give it chance

firearms first release sucked by apparently its got quite good now - all i can say is watch this space !

How can the weapons be CS clones if the damage and accuracy are completely different, silly :monkee:. Let's face it, all "realistic" mods that base theirselves on real life armoury aren't really ripping off Counterstrike, they're attempting to base themselves in reality.

Oooh and the accuracy increases depending on how close you are to a team member, as proposed for TF2. Personally I like that the game makes it harder to do the "camp in a corner all level" strategy that Counterstrike popularised. Also the fact that the weapons do less damage makes the firefights a little more interesting - i.e. it isn't the person who saw the other first (or the lpb) who wins, the person who is being attacked gets a chance to fight back.

Overall, if you're expecting a realistic mod you'll be sorely disappointed, but its a mod that, unlike others (hello again public CS servers) encourages and rewards teamplay and is overall vast fun.

And this is the first public release. Its only going to get better.

Well like Si said ( who said it very well ;) )

Its a first release and is going to be not up to the standards of CS etc...

Give it a few months or so, after the updates etc.

Im pretty sure the weapons will change, but tbh i quite like them, there different, i mean u dont want them the same as CS do u? otherwise wouldnt it just be a cs ??

Anyway, the maps are ok... some lack abit in GOOD gameplay, but the rest would be quite good when u get laods of epople in there..

Skins though arent that impressive ;) maybe a few more updates before they get that right.

Anyway, cant wait for this community and game to kick of big time, will be quite a sight! :)

pff, damnit i think i've started likeing the silly mod, still can't tell the differance between the 2 skins and is still 2 dark but i think i like it... pff, i'll try and resit, can't start playing a fps again, been cold turkey for ages.... pff... btw anyone any idea how clan matches would work? just did it normally wouldn't be far cos the number of defendings and attacks wouldn't be same, unless you can set timelimit to say 3 attacks per team or something instead of a minutes timelimit? but evan then it would probably result in too many draws.

There is a new skinpack available already that makes telling the Rebels from the Commandos infinitely easier.

That's the thread that has a UK link.

Runesky, go to http://www.planethalflife.com/frontline/

There is a link on the main page to a new set of skins for the Rebel model which makes it FAR easier to tell the difference between the 2 teams.

That should help ya :)

You think you have problems telling the models apart

My mate came round friday - and he's colour blind and even on light maps he couldnt tell the difference . We spent all night "spotting for him"

Its a good job FF is switched off !
