Since we had only 3 or 4 people from KL yesterday play Soldat, lets try Soldat again today instead of wolfenstein. 8-10PM.

Setup instructions are available on the wiki: http://wiki.krazyletter.com/wiki/Soldat

And reply if you plan on coming.

I might. I'm not sure. I'm kinda busy.

Maybe set a password if enough KL people decide to come?

What GMT do you guys go on? After I install Boot Camp on my Mac, I'll join in on some of these if the time allows (I'm on GMT+8, Singapore).

We are GMT-8.

I'll bring my AK-74, see you guys then

On a side note I'm sorta glad it wasn't Wolfenstein...no expirience with that game

I will get wrecked so badly as it has been years since I played an FPS for more than a few hours in a week but okay, I might come if I remember.

8PM PST?
That is 4hrs 30mins from now right?

Yes. It's not a FPS though, it's a side-scrolling shooter.

oh man, i was looking foreward to wolfenstein. is the srever up yet?

Oh, shows what I know

Is it like "Worms"? Maybe I should look at some screenshots...

Yes, I think the author stated that he was inspired by both "worms" and "Counter Strike"

I'll be there (if I remember)

Im a bit late, bit im joining as Dytaen.

Too close to finals..

Meh... not what I was expecting, but then again, it was only an 11MB download.
The best I got from about 5 games was a 10/14 kill/death ratio

Heh, again, it's too late to be playing games for me. 10PM-12AM CST is the only time I get any peace and quiet.

I think it was the minigun...not the best weapon IMO...good try though...

In other news, I enjoy being the kill leader

Mmm, it's very inaccurate too... I switched to the M79 and got many more kills and finally started enjoying the game

Eh, M79 abusers tend to be called "noobs", due to it's easy kill. The AK is a good all-round weapon. The MP5 has good stopping power and a fast reload rate, but it's power drops dramatically over long range. The Steyr AUG has a fast fire rate, is accurate, reloads quickly, but does low damage per shot, making it a good longer-range weapon (and it causes bink, which is when a player's gun gets inaccurate when they get hit by a shot)

You know what's even better about the M79? You can kamikaze! (eliminates the need for aiming)

Sorry for being a noob

Chainsaw pwns the M79

It's a fun game for a game so simple...I think there were too many people on the server yesterday though...I think I saw a few hackers too.

i love the ruger, two well placed shots drops 'em. i spent half the time running around chainsawing people though.

I was running around with the shotgun; its really good on those narrow corridors. But on Airpirates, I ran around with the MP5.

yeah, the shot gun is good too. but i hate air pirates. did anybody else notice how the bullets bounce?

The MP5 is my favorite. The fast reload is critical. The bad thing is does not have good range, but you can shoot over hills.

The AK is deadly accurate though...if you tap once for each shot it will always hit with pinpoint accuracy. I'm not a fan of the Steyr, but a lot of people like it's fast fire and accuracy.

my favorites go
1. ruger 7
2. spas 12
3. Chainsaw
4. MP5
5. Steyr AUG

I play Soldat! I was on vacation, though. Otherwise I would have been there.

lucky. where did you go?

Skiing in South Lake Tahoe.

nice, i have a season pass to the summit at snoqualmie and i go on friday nights and sunday afternoons.

Not a chatroom.

I like that secondary weapon that's like the M74 as well.

GO THE m74, I OWN WITH THAT!!!

it's the m79 and it is a noob weapon.

The the Barrett 108 is also a n00b weapon.

How so?

One shot one kill. Yes, you do have to hold down the mouse, but anyone smart enough can aim it at some lone n00b. Anything with that type of power in a video game is a n00b weapon.

The M72 LAW? Never got the hang of it; probably becuase you have to crouch to use it.


Eh, not really, althought it's the second-most used weapon in Soldat (M79 grenade launcher is the 1st). People do claim it's overpowered however.

M72 LAW pwns.

So the SPAS-12, AK-47, FN Minimi, Saw, Combat Knife, and M72 LAW are also n00b weapons. The SPAS-12 can nearly kill in one hit, the Combat Knife can insta-kill by throwing as well as slashing, the Saw is an insta-kill as long as it doesn't glitch, AK-47 and FN Minimi have a lot of power and accuracy if you don't automatic, and the M72 LAW can insta-kill without too much effort.

I say none of them are n00b weapons, because they all kill as they would in real life. And Soldat is intended to be as realistic as possible.

The AK-47 and FNMinimi have unrealistic accuracy when you don't automatic, and still all of the power. No one has enough dexterity to swing a saw in the middle of a battlefield and actually hit someone from the front, daggers don't kill in one hit unless you're very lucky or EXTREMELY skilled. Same goes for the Barrett, people running around too much.

Soldat isn't really intended to be realistic; it's intended to be a really balanced game. If it was realistic, there would be: No Jetpacks, more damage per hit, faster bullets, etc.

spas 12 only works like that at close range, and the saw and knife are only when you are right next to them. also, the AK-74 has a slow rate of fire/reload time compared to the other autos.

What about the Grenade? Excellent defensive weapon (usually a one hit kill), and it almost acts as a "landmine", good for when you have the flag and you need to retreat.

It's easy to get close to people, and the AK-47 more than makes up it's slower fire time with power and bugged accuracy, it being one of the most accurate.

yes, but it's slow reload can be fatal during a battle.

also, the grenades are very useful for retreating to health.

Same with the M79.

yes. but the mz9 is a 1 hit kill.

And the AK-47 is a high accuracy, high damage weapon with a medium firing speed.

What is this AK-47 you speak of?

Anyways, the AK-74 is powerful and accurate, yes, but the MP5's fast fire rate, reload, and power (more powerful per shot than the AK-74) make it useful in small maps with lots of people. Then again, the shotgun is my favorite in CQB maps (airpirates, bridge). The Chainsaw is good, I don't use it that much.

Then again, the US SOCOM (pistol secondary weapon) beats the MP5 in damage per shot. XD
