the only thing that needs to be worked on imo is the actual smoke grenade it's ridicously unlogic that you CAN SEE THROUGH the smoke but NOT OUT OF IT when you are standing right in the middle
i actually like the smoke grenade like that. sometimes you can just drop a smokegrenade at a rax entrance and massacre everyone coming out of it.
Maybe we should just rename the smoke grenade to low quality teargas grenade, because that's what it is closest to. (along with renaming the mortar to bodycannon (no, it doesn't shoot bodys, but a handcannon neither hands))
That's realism.. Not funism. I would rather see a boom make backflipping body go flying into an on coming 3phase jeep then smoke and dust being kicked up and a body laying on the ground. This game would be more fun and funnier with out realistic immersion.
this game isnt about it being funny, though maps like failbowroad really make one believe the opposite ... why did you guys start to play empires in the first place? sounds like youd be better of with unreal or something - halo maybe?
having fun != being funny also fun is no argument, fun is higly subjective, what is fun for one might be the hell for someone else ...
what ...? To put it simple: If something is fun for you, you can have fun with it. If it's not fun for you, you cannot have fun with it. If someone is having fun, then the game is fun for him. No ... ? The goal can only be to make the game the most fun for the majority. And I can only guess, but not being able to see shit is not what the majority thinks of as "fun".
Are you seriously comparing CoD/BC2 with Empires ... ? You must have noticed the degree of realism in every and each graphic in CoD/BC2, if it weren't for these good graphics with fitting effects these games would just be boring shit. And tbh they haven't got THAT much smoke, beside if you use a smoke launcher. On the other hand empires hasn't got great graphics but a great gameplay, There's no use for smoke everywhere if it doesn't even look a tiny bit like a real world scenario to beginn with.
it's not about "being funny", it's about actually being able to see shit so that every time a nuke goes off you don't have to anxiously peer through the smoke into it recedes to see if you're hitting the tank that just fired it.
