Huxley Game, Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter Game, MMOFPS

Arxinal · 24-05-2007, 09:30 AM

Such a delicate subject in any FPS game. Could be too easy making it incredibly annoying in long range maps. I'm planning on sniping. Its simply what I do and I'm very interested in the stealth skills associated with the phantom class.

What I'm wondering is Will snipers be able to equip 4 weapons? As well as the damage of high end rifles. I'm hoping the keep one shot kills to the head only 2 on the torso and three on limbs. Weapons like the 50 cal in Rainbow six were absurd one shot kills anywhere on the body and really make it feel cheap and unbalanced. Also no semi autos a sniper should be one shot at a time simulating bolt action rifles. Your thoughts?

ya one shot for sure or like you did the reload on your controller for 360/keyboard. and for all weapons there was spiecial ways to reload and you had to do that on the key board or controller

Dragonwhat · 25-05-2007, 01:31 AM

yeah i too plan on sniping like crazy and being very sneaky

umm helmets might make it 2 shots 2 the head to break the helmet and 1 more for the headshot and ther IS armor so try 3 to 4 shots torso unless the neck or sumthn is showing or yer screwed unless you a DU round

Arxinal · 25-05-2007, 02:08 AM

Well ussually id say 3-4 shot on the body for sniping but this is a very fast paced game so i'm thinking in the time its take to hit a guy 4 times for a kill someone might kill you first.

Dragonwhat · 25-05-2007, 02:23 AM

i Read something about a skill were your resistant to head shots so that might make things difficult

No semi-auto. I'm hoping for high dmg sniper with long reload

I just hope some camper doesn't find a spot on a building or in a room with a open window doesn't scope and shoot from miles away if there will be some real big open areas.

Vital Factor · 27-05-2007, 09:52 PM

Well Im sure with the helmets and such it will atleast be 2 shot kills in the head and 3 to the body...unless like stated before where it is a possible throat/neck shot...and maybe even where shooting someone in the back with a rifle makes more damage than to the chest..for the sneaky/stealth factor.

I hope there is! thats where you'll find me.

Kcirreda · 28-05-2007, 03:43 AM

I think the game should have no more than 3 hit areas on each character. I'd imagine there will only be 2 though. The game already looks like it should have good physics, I dont think a server can manage too many hit locations.

Decent_xVICIOUSx · 28-05-2007, 05:53 AM

huxley is mainly city type battles and for the big open areas you know ther will be other snipers scopin u up and also tanks blowin u sniper sup not to mention gunship thatll also be mowin you down or people para dropping in on top of you

No skill in that, you're not pressured at all, and take your time to focus and it's too easy. I am a sniper who loves being infront of the action going for headshots while pressured to move around and not be hit but hit kill or be killed.

Arxinal · 29-05-2007, 10:01 AM

A sniper in my opinion should never be seen. I'll do as little to make myself visible as I possibly can. I want to instill fear in the other team getting picked off one by one and having no idea where its coming from.

There is definitely skill in that. You have to find a spot that you are protected from and that has a few escape routes. Sniping from buildings is very helpful, if you keep moving when people spot you then it's doubly good. Also waiting until the enemy line has passed you so you can snipe them in the back is also very good. Sure it might seem cheap, but war is, all is fair in love and war...

Snipefrag · 29-05-2007, 04:36 PM

Its certainly a challange to balance snipers in any FPS, i hope its 1 shot to the head for certain lesser armored classes and 2 for heavy armored, 3-4 everywhere else. If you get a headshot on a heavy armored class i would say it should take like 70-75% and a body shot anywhere else to finish them off.

Metalhead · 11-06-2007, 06:46 PM

well for me, i plan to a sniper that uses stealth and the building tactics(that will proly change over time based on what the situation is), as for the head shots, i would like to see more of a realistic approach, like the 'T' on the forehead, or the spot in the back of the head, these spots should be like extra critial, like 2.5 times more dmg or just instant kill.

According to some of the Gameplay Trailers out their, you can easily see one person walking around switching between 4 weapons, rocket launcher, shot gun, semi-auto gun(looked cool), and a sniper rifle. im sure you can carry more then 4.
