GLobal Operations

[Fractux]

You guys should check out this game http://www.globalopsgame.com/..

The Open Beta Multiplayer version is available on Filplanet. It's pretty intense, and the different classes and weapon ranges make for some extreme gameplay.

Anywho, definitely worth the download.

On a side note, after perusing through their forums, I come to fully respect the SC's tight grip here. The Global ops forum is utter chaos!!

Now.. off to send my marines to their deaths... Umm.. Blame Resnig...

Cheers!

Hey, how come I can't join any game?? It always asks for a password and games that says that don't have password ask for one, and anything doesn't work... what's with that?

I can't create games either.

You can join servers, it just takes a while since so many ppl are playing this game to get on a good one. And the servers with passwords on them are not indicated in any special way, so there will be some you can't get on.

Also, there is no way to play by yourself unless you have 2 comps. 1 that can run "globalopsserver" wich is in the game directory, and one for you to run the client.

Problem is, that since this is still beta, you need a high end box to run a the server.

Anywho, if you do manage to get in, you'll see how fun this game is, IMO.

Cheers!

I tried it... and I dont like it.

Dislikes:

1) No gun stability while firing. even with the sniper you cant get a shot because the gun recoil screws the shot. These guys should take a hint from UT: INFILTRATION and put a "breathing" control.

2) Life bar. Total bollocks. You need to empty an entire UZI clip into someone to kill him. Reminds me of good old DOOM and Quake. Again, INFILTRATION beats them by a long shot. In INF. you get 1 or 2 bullet hits and you're dead.

3) Bunny hopping. 'nuff said

Likes:

1) Misc. Equipment : Recon guys have their little life scanner. Incredible little gadget. I hope Derek puts one like it in BCM. Thermal and Nightvision goggles: Heheh, LOVE em. Timed C4 and C4 explosives. Booyah!

2) Weapons: Unlike INF. , this one has machine guns and some very nice grenades.

3) Medics: YES! Incredible little addition. This guy can heal you back to full. Extremely useful in long firefights. I was knocked to the dirt 4 times and brought back up thanks to a medic.

4) 50 Cal Anti Tank rifle: Mwahahaha I love the big lummox. *POW* and someone across the map jumps 2 feet in the air.

Unfortunately, most of the dislikes, particularly the life bar and lack of firing control royally mess up the gameplay. Its even worse with the bunny hopping quakeheads.

The game is OUT if you didn't read it on the website, but they released the public beta AFTER is was gold. Eww. I call that a demo.

I was able to join games using Eye.. gosh it sucks. Graphics are very good... but like Tac said, people take too many bullets to die, although I died easily. It took me 2 entire mp5 clips to kill a guy, and 4 desert eagle clips to do it, and I didn't miss many shots.

Gun stability? Never had enough money to try a sniper.

Recon : didn't tried everything.

Oh and noticing who's your friend, who's the enemy, is very hard in dark areas.. you can point your cursor to it, but it's hard when it's moving. 1 game, 3 TK, 2K, 6 deaths. WOW!

E5, have you played INFILTRATION?

In that UT mod you press the right mouse button once to aim and you hold it down to have your guy hold his breath and hold the gun steady. When you fire with the mouse button held down, your fire is very accurate. If you fire without holding the mouse button down, the gun recoil makes your shots go wild.

In global operations, your gun recoil just messes up your shots royally. You have to move the mouse down to compensate.. and that is not very good either. Long range shots are almost impossible, even with scoped rifles. Add to that, the enemy can take 4 bullets of 50 cal ammo (DE pistol or the 50 cal sniper rifle) to die. Now, what is the use of such a game? Every fight ends up like a Quake duel... stand in front of the other guy and its he who has the more bullets per clip or the most damage per bullet that gets the kill. Really, really stupid imo.

In UT:INF , 2 or 3 bullets from even a 9mm will smack you down. 50 cal kills with 1 shot. assault rifles can get you with 1 or 2 hits. Its much more realistic. Plus in INF you can lie prone.

Well, I have it, but I didn't played it I think. I think I just played the DM version, and god we die fast

I might try tonight.

I ehh, never had any of the problems you guys did. I was making great sniper kills with the .50 caliber rifle. You *do* have to hit vital spots though or else it won't do as much damage. The gun recoil is accurate because thats what guns do and I've never had that mess up a shot....weird.

[Fractux]

I hardly ever use automatic on the rifles. Generally on sigle shot with the rifles [auto when I'm assaulting], auto with the SMG's [or 3 burst]. And the shotguns are always fun to use.

I'm a big fan because of the range of weapons and equipment provided. The smoke grens are great to provide cover, and the IR gogles give you a great advantage if you buy them.

The ability for team coordination is great, because the commander can set waypoints for the team, thereby helping everyone, even on a public server, work together.

Cheers!
