A half mil? That's it? Jax, he's all yours buddy.
...look MM, it's your game, you're gonna do what you're gonna do, but clearly for some reason I'm under your skin, and doesn't that say something? That maybe, just maybe, you also agree that the game is a little lacking in the zombie count department? Or that some abstracts are just silly and can be done better?

I mean, I know you would love to have higher counts, but can't because of xyz reasons... and I know that some things are easier just left alone this close to gold... but don't let your hubris of having hit into a successful genre take away from the wondefrul ideas your community has presented to you over the years... I don't mind the insults and bullying, because well, it's the internet and I don't know you so your name calling and insults are humorous to me, but I do kinda mind a game that I love dissolving into lackluster in key areas... I've *always* been supportive of TFP and this game, but I'm not always on board with the choices y'all make.

It's up to you what you do with that.

I'm not mad at all. I'm just giving you crap. A lot of your ideas have good merit, its up to us HOW to solve them though through our design process. Its never as black and white as you make it unfortunately and there are a lot of things to consider.

 
Yes "NOW" it makes sense. My last response was not meant to insult you. I litterally could not think of any other reasons why some use a controller for a fps. What I said was in no way a judgemental statement against you or anyone else. I could care less people other people prefer, mouse, controller etc. whatever makes them happy more power to them. I can see why in your case you would, I'd do the same exact thing. I personally would love to use a controller for some games I have, never a fps though as I play very competitively.

I know - right? (Why would anyone use a controller for an FPS?). Especially since Halo failed in a spectacular way. ; - )

 
PC never supported it with a keyboard and mouse setup is what I am saying. Maybe you can get Alloc to fix it but it should be added to PC keyboard.

thanks MM. how do we bring this to the attention of Alloc?

 
Wow, Gupps a peasant now.

I can’t keep coming back to this thread, as much as I love this game I just can’t deal with MM’s hugely over inflated ego.

Guarantee you Gupps has more hours in YOUR game than you. Hell you said it yourself, you didn’t play a13 -17, surely there is some merit or value to his opinions at this point?

This goes for Jax too. Any good dev would try the mods that are out there for their own game, if for anything to see what improvements could be made. But you choose to insult the people who have been fixing your game for you for years and giving it the replay ability you are only just touching on in 18. (Fataal’s played RH, whats your excuse MM?)

Also fyi I’m not one of the “2 fans” that play RH, too micro managey for my taste. But Jax beat you to random rage zombies, so good luck convincing me you didn’t steal it from his mod.

You’d never admit that tho, coz its YOUR game.

For real dude you need to relax, or just get off the forums. Calling your fans peasants for questioning your development decisions makes me feel sorry for you.

(And defeats the purpose of having a forum to discuss in the first place, lets talk ufc instead?)

Must get tiring swinging ya big ♥♥♥♥ around all day in others faces. Hey, at least you can rest it on your $10,000 couch.

Sorry for how harsh that was, but you can be a real douchebag to your fans.

 
Whoop whoop! 1800! Can we reach 2,000? *Waiting for audience's reaction*

All I know is the nailgun is way better. It takes 1 hit instead of 2.

Thank you for this. Lol Speed wise, in A17 the clawhammer was an upgrade to the nailgun in every way. Lol

Rage zombies aren't an original idea. Stop acting like a lolcow, like you know everything.

 
The encounter system kinda reminds me of the random encounter system in fallout and elder scrolls, and it sounds like it will be a far more interesting and fun experience, as well as dynamically introducing threats. Enough of the *just turn the zombies up to 11* because regular zombies out in the wild have never been and will never be threats, and this is a method which will improve system performance.

I've got my fair share of criticisms but some people here go so overboard lol

When were rage zombies (who rage when taking damage) ever a part of this game?

Think you misunderstand rage zombie pal, im talking within context of 7 days. Not rage zombies from 28 days later.

So yeah they were in RH before vanilla, idiot.

I've never played halo. Wasn't that the game that allowed cross-platform with the PC and Xbox and because PC players wrecked those using a controller it ended up killing the game?

Trust me, trying to aim at something with a controller is quite clunky. Try aiming a bow or swinging a yoyo weapon in Terraria on console, for instance. Controllers may win in terms of comfort, but in practice, *whispers* PC's rule.

Never said they were apart of 7 Days first, read properly next time. I said rage zombies aren't an original idea, hell, enemies getting enraged from damaged isn't original. Your anger seems to blur your thinking.

Lol he's saying the concept of rage enemies is a very common element in video games, including zombie games.

Ended up killing the game? Do you even know what is happening? (With Halo) And it's not like cheating on the PC is a whole lot easier. (And that argument does work for and against the xbox granted.)

What I believe is that there is no absolute. Some games/apps are better with a keyboard/mouse and some are better with a controller. (Because of coding, response, etc.) I can easily ADAPT and do either.

I really like how you said that. If you do not mind think I'll start using that exact line from time to time. ;) =)

Ha ha, thanks! Something I just came up with on the spot lol. And sure, feel free to use it!

EDIT: also what does PD stand for?
