If so, why still playing so much public?
Events
I said Heroes and Generals was quite popular, for its specific game modes/gameplay, not specifically their map design. Their map designs were not the best; preferably you want a big map with more flank options. Just a bit wider front is not too much to ask.
HnG’s bullet dispersion was a lot less compared to how enlisted portrays some of them guns and MGs were pretty lethal so hence why there was a lot more MG focus for the general player base. Rifles were effective, but the catch was you needed to upgrade the rifles for them to one shot. Im pretty sure most the stock rifles needed to be upgraded to one shot.
In my entire life I have never heard anyone saying they play HnG for their modes or that they were famous for.
Skirmish? Is like shitty conquest mode here. Nothing differs.
Assault? Maybe but the maps didnt make it nice to play either.
First Encounter? Worse Skirmish without tanks and paras and recons.
Tank/ Air? Oh yeah. Great modes to burn your credits or face the clunky tank and air gameplay.
HnG was famous for the war mode and maybe the freedom of equipment and class and faction choice (which arguable also caused their doom).
And the gameplay. Oh boy. Dont get me started on the gameplay.
I also remember the M1919 and MG42 lasering their way through the woods. Pretty sure thats how people used MGs in rea life. I also remember the hype of captured StGs.
Also, HnG had bipods that worked and their maps allowed more camping/ defending… mostly because they were awful.
Pretty dumb. It costed me MORE to upgrade and upkeep a “OHK” (which again didnt even OHK certain people) rifle than using a machine gun or a paratrooper sf rogle.
Working as intended is what RedBjarne would say here I guesd.
And no. Inf rifle were useless and no one used them… unless they put a scope on it which is NOT the same.
No it’s actually quite popular and if at all possible I’d also want the two hour to five hour Confrontation matches back
sure if you want a tenth of the player base
20-50 minute matches are fine who wants to be stuck in a single match for five hours
