Battalion 1944 (ww2 game )

The one shotting is really putting me off this game, I'm normally pretty rubbish with a rifle, but was able to kil loads last night using a rifle and just aiming in their general direction, the aiming feels off to me in this game.

Kills by rifle, sniper or not should not be so easy with little to no aiming, and in that respect it's nothing. Like COD2 was.

I really want to like this game but struggling a bit, I will def give it a go on release, but time will tell if I play it a lot.

Originally I was gonna create a clan in this game, just to have some fun, but will not be doing that anymore.

cod 2 was exactly what this game is. i dont get how you cant see this maybe you didnt play it much but all people who played cod 2 with bolt rifles or snipers it was one shot kills. so it comes down to tactics aim and skill.also have to be very fast.

as i have said to people if you are no good with a rifle or sniper dont use it. even if medicore just use something else because most likely the other team player is good and you will get hammered round after round.

go search some youtube footage of cod 2 and bolt rifles with pros playing it.its exactly the same.they even played cod 2 all the time making this game to get it similar. its not about realism.its about bring back the oldskool ww2 shooters we all loved = early cod / medal of honor. this isnt catered for so they made a game to cater for it.which will be big for that very reason.

I played 1000s of hours of cod2 besides the colouring/visual this game is nothing like cod2, I led a clan that was no1 in the world on clanbase on both ctf, and demo, so think I know what cod2 played like.

I must have killed 30/40 with a bolt action rifle, it was **** easy, would never have killed 5 in a day with a rifle in cod2.

It's ridiculously easy to kill with a sniper rifle no scoping

i replied to your comment which you talked about the snipers and bolt rifles not the colouring or visuals.cod 2 had the same easy kills with bolt rifles and snipers.one hit dead.this does the same or similar.if you played as you said you have then you already know this.

you say you wouldnt kill 5 in a day in cod 2 rifles i kinda find it hard to believe your statement. i dont know whether trolling or lying about clanbase.the funny thing is one of the main reasons for many not liking cod 2 when it came out originally was because it was too easy with rifles and snipers and moved from cod 1 / uo as you had to be so precise to get a kill.they even shut down all the cod 2 servers in protest.the game was still popular but as said the rifles in cod 2 were super easy one hit kills.if you were in clanbase or compside and even low you would know that nevermind top.

added some random phantasy cod 2 just too highlight how easy rifles are from cod 2.battalion is no different.if you can aim you will kill easy.the difference is because we havent had a game like this for years everyone is used to crappy reg on other games or they play arma 3 and expect some super realistic game.its not that game. so just play it as it is.


 
you buy it on the 1st.tbh i dont think you will like it if you dont already.

its for those who enjoy the early cod games.who havent had them remade or similar.

also for those that want a competitive game similar to cod2 and cod 4 promod.

I haven't played Battalion yet, but it looks way too fast and twitchy compared to how my rose tinted clan day memories of vanilla 1.4 patch CoD was. My youtube suggested I watch a phantasy CoD video (mp_railyard) which seemed to be modded with sprinting and a silly reticle when you shot someone, so if they've based it on that sort of experience then I'm not surprised some of the original cod players are a bit confused.

I never did Cod 2, it was a console mess of horribleness (my god the maps were awful). I'd echo the above posters comments about how no-scoping rifles seem to be over powered, and this is coming from someone who only ever used rifles for a good old 1 shot kill. Its not the fact they are a 1 shot kill, can't put my finger on it from watching the footage. The accusation of large hit boxes is something I label at the new cod's, but I don't think Battalion is guilty of this.

Meh....maybe I'm just old now.

That said, I think the games looks a lot of fun, I hope it does well.

if you played cod 2 or watch the phantasy cod 2 rifles video i posted a couple of pages ago you will see how cod 2 was. i like you mainly played and had servers for cod 1 / uo. played it to death still my fave fps games of all time. i was in the >Mugs< clan. you may of played on our servers :p

railyard was a great map i know what mod you talking of also there was no sprinting in cod 1 you swapped to pistol . sounds like a awe mod.

while i get what you saying cod 2 was also big for many people. i prefered the original games before cod 2 but i did like rifles.so played it a lot for rifles only. the rifles were one shot kills. so you had to be fast and accurate and tactical.it was never meant to be a arma or red orchestra one thing i never get when people try and compare or bring realism into arguements.

so battalion is very accurate to how cod 2 was.

i dont think everyone will love battalion it will favour better players but that is no different to csgo or any other game that can be played competitivley .

i wish cod 1 uo was remade but i cant see a massive audience for it as you had to be more accurate but you need sales for games to get made and if you think about it battalion / cod 2 works probably better across gaming platforms. so more sales so makes sense.

the game is great fun and the pricing is right at £12. that price alone should make it very popular. still think why cod never just made a re released cod 2 game.could have tweaked cod 2 and stole the thunder with little work.funny thing is cod 2 is still not that bad looking.

will be interesting to see if battalion make a modern warfare game or dlc to complement cod 4 :D
 
well phantasy did highlight in cod 4 promod that when you jump through the air and pull the shots even on target it didnt always get it right.

will have to try it more to see how if fairs.
 
what ? i didnt play it on pc :p you do know i was involved in many of the biggest clans in cod and people who ran the leagues and platforms to do with cod :D

had servers for cod 2. played it on clanbase,twl,edom. you may not know that so it doesnt really matter. dont need to debate about playing cod.


server prices for dedicated servers are up now not to bad.
