Boxes work fine in Squads, when you have your own engies on squad, and also many players have engies too.
In Lone Wolf tho - nobody plays engie, because why? So you can’t ever find any ammo boxes, ever. We need a solution to this.
Can we have GLOBAL AMMO boxes or something like that, placed on all maps?
Just a few would be enough, sprinkled around all maps.
Otherwise, I am always out of ammo in Lone Wolf, and everyone is.
You can be the problem solver in said situations.
Spawn ur eng soldier and build said ammo box.
And since u are on it, build a spawn point
Right, but then you just respawn, because engies are no good for assaults
well, that’s pretty much debatable.
engineers are quite good. but they mostly relay on how you ““dress them up”” in terms of equipment.
those, are a few examples:
as you can see, mine are quite stacked up. but it’s because i like them to be a multi role supporter. a tank broked down? i’ll repair it.
i see someone down? i’ll heal them because i have multiple medkits.
there is a tank? i’ll use the mine/TNT.
there are infantry? i’ll use the grenade or block them with a mine.
but what i mean is, you can make your engy usefull and pretty much make it handlier for each situation.
just like @Shiivex said, you can make it usefull.
so it’s not truee that engy cannot be used for assaults.
an example is, lay some ammoboxes near objectives, lay down barded wire in doors/windows that faces the enemy spawn, so that they will have somewhat of an harder time to get to the objective.
First thing I do in Lone wolf is build a rally and ammo boxes.
My engineer’s all have FGs now so they can assault.
i wouldn’t relay too much on the fg, because it might get limited to other classes/squad.
( this is not confirmed, but many folks like me are trying to push it for be special and not usable by everyone outside parachute division )
to be honest, it’s pretty dumb that everyone can use those weapons.
but hey, matters of opinions.
It’s a two shot kill gun though, unless head shot.I
MP35I is a far better gun imo then the FG, but it’s only for Assault.
yeah, I love “dressing up” my guys lol I feel like a girl, dressing up dolls, but whatever lol
Your setup is pretty mixed, I’d get more medkits, and just load up on survival. I find mines only get in the way, when you are panickly switching weapons, in middle of shootout, so I keep my loads clean.
Minimalistic, survival, bad ass lookin lol
Check out stats on my 2 best MGers. Weird, I got 21 and 22 rolls on Fist stat, while it said 17-19 maximum, in Academy training.
There are so many issues with the solo mode that it’s easier to list what does work well. Which is mostly just the “there are no dumb bot squads”. Pretty much everything else is broken to some extent.
This is one of such issues, but it’s probably one of the smaller ones. You can even start fixing it yourself - by taking at least some engineers and leading by example.
Solo mode is an after thought in Enlisted and will always be last in priorities. The game seems to be designed around the SQUAD mode and I’m not sure why people are even here playing the solo mode with so many games out there designed exclusively for that style of play.
People are playing solo mode because bot squads still don’t work and don’t do anything after four years of development. It probably makes sense to just quit, but they don’t want to give up on the game. Same as squad players who don’t want to give up on a broken feature that doesn’t work and doesn’t do anything.
Personally I think it would be fatal for the game if they won’t make solo mode work at least on par with squads, but what do I know.
I personally like the AI; although, it does need some improvement and they are working to do that. I have played games where AI is very good and it always creates a bad experience for players as players want to play against other players for the most part. Very few players are satisfied when they get gunned down by a better AI.
The way I see it… AI is just filler and does a good job of representing poor skilled players. It’s there to give you something to shoot at, environmental, make the battle grander, and there to be used. They are an extra life and a way to give the player increased functionality and more things to control.
Man… Just thinking back, I was so pissed when spending lots of time getting in a good position and gunned down by super AI… I hated that.
I like dumb AI…
Trust me, you can tweak AI to be whatever you want it to be. Like they can one shot you from a mile away, perfect headshot every time, etc. It would be superhuman, in every way.
BUT it would pwn human players, see? That’s why it’s always about a balance, a delicate balance, between AI being good enough, and players being happy with it.
It’s not about their lethality. They are just uninteresting to face, uninteresting to lead, they break immersion by acting like dumb bots. Most importantly, for me at least, they also don’t mesh well with players.
Personally I’d rather face only humans or only bots. I was willing to try out what developers have in mind, but it looks like they don’t have anything. Nothing that works at least. Unfortunately that also includes the solo mode which could have been a refuge for those who want traditional gameplay.
Ok, this is going more and more off topic now, I think I’ll shut up now.
