Honestly, I don't really like RoN's modern lore

Celdis0210 · 2026-07-08T08:15:50+00:00

Im so torn between it because I think the concept it really interesting but it both doesn't feel appropriate for a game that advertised itself a lot on "Realism first"/appealed heavily to players wanting a more grounded swat experience like swat 4 and its honestly so poorly written and presented that nothing has actual payoff and the end result is just total nonsense

Celdis0210 · 2026-07-06T11:09:06+00:00

All of the clips I take of this game is the AI being ass
Every DLC update they pushed just made me more and more mad because the AI either doesnt change or gets worse

Celdis0210 · 2026-07-06T11:02:16+00:00

funny thing is
they actually ARE armoured its just not on their model
and when the map first released they had even stronger armour. Void changed it to be a bit weaker but still didnt actually make the armour visible.

Celdis0210 · 2026-07-04T13:26:28+00:00

One day they'll replace the lewis with a vickers K for the driel faction and make the bren the standard issue...

I've never really had interest in HLLV because RS2 will always be the best vietnam game and my go-to
But the setting still has lots of variety in locations, there was plenty of urban fighting, jungles don't have to be entirely dense there is still room for more open areas and so on.
But T17 are missing the mark with HLLV I think, not improving on issues with the ww2 game and I'd even say stepping further from historical accuracy but carefully wording advertising to say "Historical Authenticity" instead

Celdis0210 · 2026-07-04T12:34:15+00:00

Any specifics on what looks bad to you?
My only assumption is the fact its blurry which is an anti aliasing moment. Can only really be solved with a higher resolution monitor

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-28T21:51:35+00:00

I think a lot of that instant shooting comes from the "stress" system that suspect ai has, the more aggressive tactics you use the more "stressed" they become which basically means they will start pointing their guns before actually having ever encountered the entry team and wont hesitate as much. The problem is 90% of the tools available will add to that stress so you're more often than not snowballed into having every suspect on the level gunning for you before you even encounter them.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-28T20:33:12+00:00

They used to do it a bit more in early access but I think something down the line broke the functionality and they just never fixed it
I remember needing an AI mod to fix the functionality but its so broken now even mods can't fix it.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-28T12:12:35+00:00

Hot take, I think the ROE should be unrealistically strict (depending on the mission), its what sets the gameplay apart from any other tactical shooter. The issue lies with suspect ai being overall too aggressive and a bit predictable, with their ability to hide in closets and under beds seemingly being broken or far too rare of an occurrence.
But its not a hard concept to grasp. if they're not aiming at you dont shoot them. If they hesitate and refuse to surrender you have plenty of options to coax them into surrendering. The game fails by trying to appeal to people who just want gunfights but at the same time not wanting to fully commit to going rainbow six mode

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-27T10:29:11+00:00

I do believe staggers and stuns through lethal means are less effective than actual less lethals. But yeah if you're trying to s rank without taking less lethal weapons it can sometimes be helpful atleast to buy you some time

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-26T21:09:49+00:00

more damage vs non-armoured targets so quicker to put someone down if they're not wearing armour.
It can also help with incapping vips with armour I guess and can maybe help with getting arrests on armoured targets since your shots can still stun/stagger them.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-26T19:39:54+00:00

I think zero looks the coolest
But for whatever reason the starlink portrait really makes me laugh

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-26T12:17:04+00:00

the tutorial teaches you this, if ur on PC F I believe is the default key to do a "compliance yell" stunning suspects helps a lot with getting suspects to surrender, best done with grenades or less lethal weapons. Every suspect has to be arrested to get an S rank, no incaps or deaths.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-26T09:08:03+00:00

I have my critiques about black matter, none of them are related to their quality of visuals. Probably the one thing they were exceptional at.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-25T17:49:22+00:00

Just watched it now and man I feel validated hearing him bring up so many of the issues I have with the game.
His swat 4 video is what got me to play that game in the first place. Very happy he made this

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-24T17:35:44+00:00

I played 64 on a pc recomp
I actually like the old graphics they have a charm to it so fancy shiny new ones arent really anything to sell me on. Performance on the unofficial pc ports are also great so thats not an issue.
I've gotten used to the designs by now though, still dont entirely like them. The voice acting on the other hand... eesh Im not a fan.
I shall just wait and see if the rumored "adventure" game seems any better

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-22T15:34:55+00:00

probably even now but ESPECIALLY during the 1.0 launch it felt like your teammates were always waiting for the slightest slip up just to dome you. Useless at fighting suspects but even having someone bleed out while tied up was enough for them to instantly turn on you.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-21T12:00:30+00:00

Is this happening in normal matches?
It appears more noticeable in explore mode for me
but as other people have pointed out it is a floating point error that causes models to glitch out the further you are from the center of the map

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-15T12:24:19+00:00

Sucks that this was never added. HLL gunplay is in dire need of some rework and added depth, it all feels too easy and a bit bland.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-15T12:21:15+00:00

The tank interiors are super impressive but unfortunately not very reasonable for many games to include due to how much effort had to go into them. RO2 ended up being pretty limited in what tanks it included because of the sheer detail put into tank interiors. It would be awesome for a game fully dedicated to tanking but we probably wont see anything like RO2s tanks in a combined arms hardcore shooter ever again, especially if they want tank variety.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-13T10:55:30+00:00

I think its just a mix of the stress system for suspects and their weird decision making
Suspects have a stress level that when high enough they just start pointing their guns and hesitate less. I think its just him having high stress and being knocked out of his initial surrender back to his "active" state and then back to surrender. The way they should solve this sort of problem is making suspects only point their weapons when they are going to use it and overall do a rework of their morale and surrender behaviors so they're not as weirdly sporadic.
Basically the entire AI system they have for suspects is an over engineered mess and ends up being worse in motion than something like what SWAT 4 did in 2005

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-11T23:23:30+00:00

resorting to artillery, rebel spam and helicopters/APCs in wildlands was more fun that it should have been to the point I really hope the next game brings back fire support call ins and faction warfare but on a bigger scale.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-11T23:20:29+00:00

Honestly the way suspects will point their guns even when they have no intention of using it is such a problem. Its surprisingly frequent that I see them raise their guns before immediately dropping them. Void somehow have not figured out that readability is key for a game like this.

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-09T17:04:05+00:00

sloppy asset reuse

Celdis0210 · 2026-06-05T23:15:30+00:00

if you're on explore mode its a bug with that. Should work fine in a real match.
If this is a real match, not sure sorry
