physics 2 for e5/r ?
can anyone tell me who got the idea, or if there was a special reason, to generally use physics 0 for e5 ?
on the KoD server I played e5r with physics 2 a lot and it was more fun than 0 (if you know how to use it, e.g. from cpma), so I see no reason not to change it for all e5 based configs :!:
Maybe because Mr.Pants was an OSP/VQ3 player :scratch:
to answer your question why it doesnt get changed...
physics 0 simply is different to 2.
e5 ppl are used to 0, most like it that way and see no reason to change it
thats why I see no reason to change it.
and madbringer is right... all the stuff in excessive mod (and so in excessive based cfgs) is very close to baseq3 settings.
btw. imo a bad choice of topic name :roll:
i can only move fluidly on physics 0 so i guess that is my shortcoming.
living with the decisions to make a mid air jump is part of the e5 side... that whole stopping mid air changing direction thing of the physics 2 might make you think that it adds something to the game, but we would feel it takes something special out of the game.
bfg is the beauty of the e5 side. anything that messes with that would just be sad
play and learn in 0 and i hope you will understand it too.
Well, it's harder to play on physics 0, less air control = you have to think more on how to move. I'm a little nooby on those physics and every time i play on Overkill i fall into the void at least a few times.
Though, i do prefer CPMA'ish physics more. I like having a lot of air control. I dunno, i think it's not necessary to change the E5 physics, it's part of it's charm.
i also like physics 2 more and we had it long time on bnt servers. but many of the bnt-clan and from other e5-clans explained to me why they like physics 0 more and for me it's totally clear why they wanna keep phy 0.
physics 2 would make no big difference for me to play the cfg
The e5 guys will defend themselves with hands and feet against playing on 2.
They play already for years on 0 and their entire movement-expiry is adjusted on that.
In the past, when I still played Pants and e5, I was a very good CTF-player. Not the best, however nevertheless good. One day i became so bored of e5 and pants, that I stopped with that and started bro/plus. Both in the meantime with physics 2, earlier physics 1. After a while, i played once CTF again, however, i was used meanwhile to physics 2 and no move worked anymore as i was used to move. Also yesterday, i played once e5-ctf again and i felt like nub. Against players i was equivalent or even better as them, 2 years ago.
Changing physics now will make nearly everybody feeling like nub of the e5 players. And the zoo-players will feel like uber-players against them.
Long speak short sense, feel free to create ur own config, for example "promodeE5.cfg" and don't listen on config-whiners, since E+ makes u absolutly free to do what u want and to do what u can imagine. The possibilites are nearly unlimited.
The only problem is u need a server and u need to make it popular, or u need a server-owner who stands behind you. (not me)
k, thx
so after this e5r league with 0 is finished I can perhaps get some ppl to try it on the KoD server
You have your own server! Just put it on 2 if you prefer it.
When i play plus i can't image it being 0.
When i play E5 i hate it on anything other than 0.
(All based on CTF)
Go with what you prefer, nobody is stopping you. You might even find people liking it.
hehe, ok topic name changed :]
so, to show why I think physics 2 should be better for all:
with phy 2 it's just possible to move more,
so if an phy 0 player switches to phy 2 he still can move like with phy 0,
but the change from phy 2 to phy 0 is like getting your legs broken
I know, bfg air-hits would be harder (and probably mg aim too), but why not, that will improve the skill that is needed to win
