These small technicalities that annoy you
« on: May 20, 2010, 11:11:34 PM »
- I have to manually drop the BA laser to buy a second weapon. Should be done automatically.

- Maps restart twice. Annoying.

- Have to click to respawn after dying. Causes a lot of cursing because I often tend to forget to click and sit there watching my teammates for a few seconds until I notice.

I hate Cryengine just as much for doing this.

Well, the 15 seconds after the first person finishes loading allows people with slower hardware (like me) to start simultaneous with them...
Never arm once what you could arm twice.

Which never happens, anyway.
I've been playing Crysis for two and a half years and have never seen a round in Crysis, Crysis Wars, or MWLL where everybody spawns at once; usually when I spawn in  MWLL (in a populated game), one or two of my teammates' units are already under construction.

I can but disagree, on most maps you can chose between spawnpoints, so it seems to make sense.

Give hitting "Mouse 1" a try. That will make you respawn at your lastly selected location.

- Maps restart twice. Annoying.

This can be disabled in the server options. Not sure what the command was though (g_preroundtime?).
- I have to manually drop the BA laser to buy a second weapon. Should be done automatically.

Point taken. Maybe something to look into for us.

-Even when buying the same Mech-variant again and again I have to set my weapon-groups manually every time.
-(this might be a Cryengine problem) no shift+button possible? Would make my life much easier... (eject would be Shift+f for example...)

Like atlessa said, sorting my weapons group everytime i respawn is a biggy. Also:

- Getting stuck on logs, or other 'carefully concealed' bit of scenery item.
- Default groups on some mechs are just.. silly to say the least.
- Falling through the floor  :-\ :'(
- Turning difficulty
- Tanks and aerospace, both using them and being on the recieving end. Dont have a grudge against them, they just seem more wild and dangerous than most mechs to pilot haha. The bombing recticle being inaccurate, tnk turret angles, lack of stabilisation etc

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?

Not being able to chain fire when assigning different weapon groups to different buttons. Haven't chain fired since second week after beta 0.1 release :'(
All of my posts are of my personal opinions unless obviously otherwise.

-how bad tanks turn while moving, you would think they are being carried by little mice instead of those giant treads.
-the annoying sound thats always there when in a tank. its a crysis default, but can it be removed please!?!?

That's what I'm talking about. I tend to forget to do just that ;)

Cool, thanks!

* Operating cache transfer menu also moves weapon group cursor and selects/deselects weapons after enter is pressed to confirm a transaction.

* Weapons aren't refireing automatically(corresponding "fire group N" button is being held) after being recycled if the group is in group fire mode.

* BA sometimes receives damage by touching stationary game assets.

So? I intentionally did not call this thread "stuff that annoys you in MWLL"

Nooo... Sometimes I want to watch before my next spawn... Sure, I could switch to Spectator-mode, but switching to spec nullifies the stats! -> no real option then.
