Hmm, I disagree with most of the video. Yes that is how you S2M, but for fuck sake. That is COTA, not a random recruit lolfighting a bunch of citizens. And wtf? resistance in the city? Lololol.

HL2 RP seems really complex to me :/

They kind of overdid that shoot to miss behind the stairs. I mean, if hes cornered in a little spot like that at point blank.. How could a person miss that shot irl?

And the fact that this is the most elite unit in the OW is pretty god damn funny. COTA units are pretty much machines, empty shells combined with the benefactors technology. In pretty much all cases. It should be S2K for COTA units.

I agree ^  Overwatch units should S2K, otherwise how are they any better then CPs?
They need an elite reputation, and a good way to represent that In-Game is lethal accuracy in firefights.

When I RP Shoot with my OfC, I obviously use my MP7, but I try to RP the recoil, so I'll shoot in the person's direction, and if they're hit, it's their fault, but I will also raise my shots to try to act out the recoil given by the MP7.

The video is going way too far in the hit-miss system.

Each class (civilian, rebel, CCA, Combine trans-human, etc) should have different levels of accuracy which having an accuracy system makes it fairer and unbiased (inb4 no extra scripts guise), having an accuracy system in a gunfight would be like rolling a dice in an RP situation.

Overwatch > Rebel > Metrocop > Citizen
sound about right?

Title: Re: How to RP in a gun fight.
Post by: lemonshit on April 11, 2011, 07:36:38 PM

I would think metrocops shoot better than rebels. The CPs get a lot of training.

It also depends on ranking and augmentations.

Post by: lemonshit on April 11, 2011, 09:03:15 PM

Rct's really shouldn't be shooting as well as they are. Our OfC's, of course, have the training, and experience. I guess that Rct - 04 or 03 should really be missing a lot of their shots. 03 or 02 have some minor experience, so they can improve after that. 01 and OfC up can start hitting a lot of their shots, but still miss quite a little. DvL and up should be hitting most of their shots, with very little shots missed.

Post by: YankeeSamurai on April 11, 2011, 09:29:35 PM

Agreed...
The thing with uber pro gunslinging citizens though, it's complete BS in my opinion. Even with all the supposed "elite military training" that people like to put in their /charphysdesc.

I just wish that the Citizens and Rebels wouldn't always have in their Description LOL I FABALOUS SHOTTER BECAUS MY DADDY OWN A GUN AND SHOTS THE COMBINE. or they just have that kind of thing in their character some how.

Title: Re: How to RP in a gun fight.
Post by: YankeeSamurai on April 11, 2011, 09:37:56 PM

And besides, the description is supposed to be physical. Stuff like skills should be discovered in-game, in-character, by finding a way to RP it, amirite?

Title: Re: How to RP in a gun fight.
Post by: lemonshit on April 11, 2011, 09:40:21 PM

Yeah, I mean seriously, most people probably wouldn't know how to shot web shoot a gun but then, magicly, every citizen has some kind of magical past experience where they were an excellent shooter.

Title: Re: How to RP in a gun fight.
Post by: Journeyman H. [UK] on April 12, 2011, 11:49:14 AM

I've been to plenty of RP servers that uses the "hit and miss" RP rules, and people (especially owners / super admins abusing this) places their description as being a marksman and being a martial arts expert.

What you just said there is spot on. That should be the exact statistics of CCA S2M rules.

Even though citizens shouldn't have guns in the city, if in the outlands or canals they receive one with authorization.

It shouldn't just be like "omg antlion attack, fire with my new weapon, pew pew pew. yea, this is easy."

Using a gun is no small task and the recoil can be a shock to people who are new using it. Any military/police employed people were all but eradicated when the Combine fully took over. Being a person who used to work on a farm and say "oh I used to have a rifle". That's not excuse either. Most of the memories citizens have are blurred, or overtaken when residing and getting used to the city.

If a person receives a gun, they should also be taught how to use it. You could even have some sort of gun-lock, where the person might give you the gun itself..but it doesn't work until an administrator has "unlocked it" OOCly once the person has learned how to use it.

COTA do not shoot to miss. They're elite units.

Rebels if anything, should be between Citizen and Metrocop.

In order from most accurate to least:

COTA - Misses almost none of their shots.
DvL>OfC - Misses about 10-15%
01-03 - Misses about 15-25%
04-RCT - Misses about 35-55% of shots
Rebel - Misses 45-60% of shots
Citizen - Misses 70-80% of shots.

Resistance by rights should miss more than citizens due to them being always on the run, undernurished and starved from the bare rations citizens get. Also, you forgot to put the SeC in, he is above COTA units performance wise.

Considering that the SeC is a high value individual, They are seldom seen in firefights. At least, that's how it should be IMO.

Yes. But to the Sectorial commander. I immagine he has a decent aim, and plus. He is Trans-human, just like COTA.

When ever I'm involved in a gun fight CP's always shoot to kill.

How were you in a gunfight with CP's...?

Title: Re: How to RP in a gun fight.
Post by: Pielolz on May 06, 2011, 09:49:35 PM

There was a sniper and some rebels killing people and I found a hand gun and tried to fight the rebels, but my good intentions were frowned upon, and shot at by the CP's.

Post by: lemonshit on May 06, 2011, 09:52:55 PM

...Wow that is a horrible reason. Really, you don't EVER pick up a gun as a citizen to 'Help the CPs'. And I don't know why, but I highly doubt that happened, as we don't have sniper rifles in the game.

There is. Usually, a JW follows shortly after.

Actually AFAIK the lolrebels never had a crossbow, just an actual sniper.
