Yes, but its the immersion he is pointing out.

Battle Tech Aerospace flies into Map -> Drops the boom, big flashies, loud splodies. Doesn't necessarily matter if the damage is ineffective, at least it should look the part and sound good.

Newsflash:

He's not saying he wants the Call of Duty lightning strike. He's saying he wants the airstrike to look like something that isn't a powerup in a shareware game from '97.

Newsflash:

He didn't actually say anything. He titled a thread, and linked a video.

You know how much it cost to do a consumable? Up to 250k. They are not blizzard who have deep pockets.

If the **** we have now cost 250k then I am in the wrong business. And I own and manage a money tree orchard.

Call of Duty games have air strikes with decent explosions, don't they? In the multiplayer portion of the game.

This is the best you can come up with? It's 2013. They've been doing attractive airstrikes in multiplayer games for years. Go to youtube and type in "call of duty airstrike."

This game doesn't have a tenth of the budget or development resources CoD has.

Now this is an air strike.........

[Raptor6789]

OP video is actually a bad way to do an airstrike. Considering the level of precision of modern weapons (and I'd assume it'd be even better in the future), there is absolutely no reason for aircraft to be flying that low to the ground. Maybe PGI got it right with the not-showing-aircraft thing.

I'm glad they put it in the game, but I do hope they buff the visuals a lot more.

And I can assure you that IW/Treyarch makes maps on a fraction of PGI's map budget.

Point is, explosions for airstrikes need to actually look like, y'know, bombs going off. Which, given CryEngine 3's origins, should NOT be as difficult to implement as PGI appears to think it is.

Of course it does. Thats why there all recycled pieces of ****.

[mekabuser]

orbital strike should be.... A high pitched whine for 1.5 seconds, followed by a beam from orbit that shimmers and then turns blood red for 2.5 seconds followed by the


NUKE EXPLOSION FROM MWLL>......


Its about the right amount of damage to boot.

gonna go search for mwo stirkes on you tube.. I hope i dont cry.

Your expectations were too high.


It can still look awesome without doing much damage. Ever seen MLRS launch missiles? They blow up so much dust and smoke that it looks like a sandstorm. Even the jump jets in this game create more smoke and debris than the artillery strike. It's possible to make things look awesome without doing too much damage. Smoke, shockwaves and debris is a good way. Like this.

sure, they are currently underwhelming, but let's just not go from one extreme to the other... that is all

Also yeah this current thing is just pathetic, it's like 6 gauss rounds shoot down from a hill. Layyyymmmeeee

[Monky]

I'd be fine with the airstrike being an aerospace fighter with an LRM20 or somesuch, locks any unit in the area and fires a volley. a single LRM20 is not that big a deal and would still fire if unable to lock (aka dead strike on the ground).

Artillery is kind of a joke ATM though, needs to be a single long tom shell with a nice explosion.
