we could take cover and disapear from the enemy radar? Or how about a manual crosshair where it would be very hard to get a big shot to land outside of 64 meters?
I was just thinking what would make this profession interesting.

unfortunately the devs have stated that weapons don't work outside of 64m due to limitations on the engine
*edit* though i do love the idea of using a manual crosshair outside of64m to land a devestating blow (a real sniper shot- maybe 15x damage ^_^)
and as for invisible on the rader they will never add it as it is to unbalancing (and would actually allow for some distrubing client side hacks)
these ideas have been stated before and discussed often ^_^ we like the ideas but they are unfeasible

THE DEVS CUT HP OF EVERYTHING WAY DOWN BUT BUMPED UP OFFENSE.I MEAN THATS HOW IT IS IN REAL LIFE. WEAPONS ARE EXTREMLY DEADLY AND EVEN THE BEST BALISTIC ARMOR CAN ONLY TAKE 5 HITS FROM A 7.62. SO MAKE NPC'S IN THE GAME WEAKER HP WISE BUT STRONGER OFFENSE WISE. THAT WAY SQUADS BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE AND TAKING ON 15 NPC'S WITH RANGED WEAPONS AS A TKM WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. CAUSE LETS FACE IT TKM IS WAY TO POWERFUL. I THINK ONE OF THE SOLDIERS IN MY SQUAD SAID IT BEST WHEN HE SAIDYOU CAN WIN ANY FIST FIGHT AGAINST ANYONE IN THE WORLD IF YOU BRING A SHOTGUN. SOIS THIS CRAZY? AM I CRAZY FOR POINTING THIS OUT. I MEAN 8 MONTHS OF CU DEVLOPMENT AND ALL YOU NEED TODO TO BALANCE THE GAME IS LOWEREVERYONES HP. THAT WAY IF YOU ARE A TKM AND YOU CHARGE SOMEONE AT 30METERS YOU PROBALY WILL GET 5METERS BEFORE YOUR DONE. BUT HEY IT'S CALL CLOSE COMBAT FOR A REASON. NOBODYPICKS A FIGHT WITH AN ARMED GUNMAN WITH THEIR BARE HANDS AT 30METERS. UNLESS THEY ARE ON CRACK. SO IF YOUR NEXT TO THE GUY AND YOU USE UNARMED CONTACT THEN YES YOU'LL HIT THE GUY WITH THE GUN. NO YOU WON'T HIT HIM AS HARD AS SAY A BULLET BUT YOU CAN HIT HIM. MAYBE DISARM? WHERE YOU MAKE HIM UN EQUIP HIS GUN AND ONCE HE UNEQUIPS HIS GUN IN CQB (CLOSE QUATER COMBAT) HE CAN'T REEQUIP IT. aND THAT BRINGS ME BACK TO SMUGGLER. IF RECKLESS SHOT CAUSES ALL NPC'S AND PC'S TO DIVE FOR COVER AND DELAY FOR 10 SECONDS GREAT. EXCEPT THEN THE SMUGGLER WILL DO THE UNSMUGGLER THING AND STICK AROUND AND KEEP SHOUTING. BUT IF HE HAS OH LETS SAY 1000 HP AS HIS MAX HE IS MORE LIKELY TO RUN FOR IT. WHICH IS WHY I WROTE THIS. BECAUSE ALL OF THE DEV'S IDEA'S ARE BASED IN A WORLD CREATED BY GEORGE LUCAS WHERE CHARICTER COULD KILL A STORMTROOPER WITH ONE SHOT AND ONLY RAN WHEN OUT NUMBERED. SWG ON THE OTHER HAND IS POPULATED WITH SUPERHUMANS THAT CAN TAKE HUNDRED BLASTS FROM A RIFLE AND LAUGH IT OFF.
ONE MORE THING (COME ON YOU READ THIS FAR)SHOULDN'T THE SAME THERMAL DETENATORS THAT MADE JABBA THE HUT PAY UP ALSO UM KILL ALOT OF PEOPLE INSTEAD OFF BEING WORTHLESS. HOW ABOUT THIS IF DURING THE WARM UP YOU GET SHOT YOU DROP THE GRENADE AND BLOW YOU AND YOUR TEAMATES UP. THATS FAIR RIGHT? I'M ALL DONE NOW. FLAME AWAY.

Wouldn'it it be nice if people didn't leave the Caps Lock on and used punctuation to make themselves sound educated?

it was bound to happen. it's the nature of the forums. it's very hard to read something when it looks like a giant block of letters, regardless if there's good ideas in there or not.

by the way, while your ideas would make the game more realistic, there is a need for some leeway in regards to how many hits a character can take.
they have to balance fun and realism, and that's never easy to do.

Oh of course. I mean armor would stop a few shots just like in real life. But armor can't stop it for long maybe 7 shots but the 8th one is coming through. You could also make PC's harder to hit. Increase dodge (you could make some really cool animations for this) You could even give certain profs a quick draw ability that would fire first if attacked by an agro. But most importantly attacks that would make a charicter dodge (dodge takes a charicter out combat)that way fire supierority wins fire fights. Not insane buffs.

awesome idea. i think it would save the game somewhat. a little at least. its really annoying with all the superhumans everywere.
but... it will never happen, will it.

I must point out that there are no unarmed people in this game.
The artists of Teräs Käsi aren't your average boxer or karate specialist. After training all of their lives they have molded and sculpted their bodies into the ultimate weapon, drawing power from within.
You may say that someone couldn't move fast enough to dodge a bullet, but if that is your reasoning, then we shouldn't be able to have laser guns and speederbikes.
This isn't real life, this is Star Wars.

Exactlty, it's star wars. How many times in Star Wars did unarmed charicters defeat armed ones? Never. Teris Kahzi was a street fighter style fighting game that failed in the game market. They should have just buried it. If they want to follow starwars then when you get disarmed you put your hands up.
