In hl2 the cps used smgs as well as their pistols. In some of the radio chatter I recall there being something about an elite civil protection squad too. Having an elite squad at the start will be more beneficial then having ota which will hardly be used. This elite team can do standard patrols when not doing anything important.

I'm fine with there being an elite counter-insurgency squad until we are ready to launch OTA, but I don't want to see it be a regular thing. I remember the CPs with SMGs from HL2, but they struck me more as a paramilitary force who were commissioned to conduct dangerous patrols through unregulated parts of the city. I can best equate them to the Russian OMON police units: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMONWhat I mean to say is that we should not lose sight of the fact that the CCA is a constabulary organization, and their priority is to keep order.
The fire power of constabulary organizations typically increases dependent on the crime risk they face. In historical oppressive regimes, police had higher fire power; for example, the Volkspolizei in East Germany were given sub-machine guns and rifles when serving in areas likely to be targets of resistance attacks. It should be no different here.Post Auto-Merged: January 04, 2014, 01:10:14 AMAlso, just because Statua does not want R&D to come back, doesn't mean that it won't. If you have a suggestion for it, then feel free to post it.
it was quite clear in HL2 that metrocops were viewed as expendable tools.
this is the reason why hl2rp in general is stale and boring, cca rp is just the place you get too and never leave, your cca units should always be at risk of being Pk'd not just nlr/tk even though no one wants that

And so does unit 913 It served a good purpose really, acting as just standard foot troops until something higher was needed, then they would step up so that OTA wouldnt be called every twenty minutes or so. Some of our past best units were Razors once. Like Statua, him and I were made Razor at the exact same time. Tell me to patrol? Fuck you. Gimme a wrench? Fuck the world!And I would like to see a REAL R&D come out, like in the early days when I was had been a commander. Back when Nick was the one who ran Gear. Those days up to the days that toy stepped down, roughly, were the best R&D days I ever truly saw. Everything after that was either dull, copy/paste, or just kinda pushed out of the way only to be performed by a couple of people that actually cared. I for one, hated doing anything other than actually developing things to further RP, rather than just hindering it.

When I created R&D with 399, it wasn't intended to be mechanical related. It was supposed to be research of new drugs, medical equipment WITH THE HELP OF GRID, and biological research (such as on headcrabs)
