HL2RP Fluxsation Roleplay

-snip-

​

 

i am going to be as light on this as i can be

first off, there have been a myriad of different hl2 servers in the past that have blended pre-release hl2 and retail hl2 stuff. that is not a unique thing and i personally recommend being either full-retail hl2 or full beta/alpha hl2, because blending starts to distort the hl2-esque feel of the server

secondly, divisonal mpf with the same old power-based hierarchy, cwu, etc. none of that is unique. it doesnt even have to be unique, just not.. that. i suggest cutting out divisions and ranks and instead reforming the mpf so one unit doesnt have more authority than another, and so they all have basic knowledge in the fields those divisions are specialized in so they are able to perform those tasks and fill those roles without having branches focusing on one main task.

the ota faction is a mess of divisions, just like the mpf. i recommend watering them down so you have a sniper class, shotgunner/cqc class, normal ground troop class, and elites. and, also, the ota were created on earth to act as basic soldiers accustomed to earths terrain, and are certainly not the "backbone" of the combine empire. they are but another subdivision of the overwatch (uu military) which is far more massive than the ota, or any other arms on earth for that matter.

eh.. this thread receives a solid 5 from me. factions are a mess, the grammar is off, presentation is a bit weak, but it does use a nice map and has conscripts (that are simplistic and not overdone). i wish your community luck and hope that you take my advice into consideration.

 

Thank you for the feed-back, It honestly doesn't matter how harsh your criticism is.
I'll definitely take your feedback into Consideration for the next-time I update this thread, I can also see why the Ranks&Divisions would appear to be unorganized and completely fucked over.
I seriously appreciate your feedback as It did help me majorly

 

I agree with Dee, scrap divisions and high command.

 

I don't think you should put so much specialization into the Overwatch Transhuman Arm. I feel as if those should be event-only characters, dispensable and generic that use the equipment that is given to them. That being said, this is your server, and your choice, but if you start off with any faction that has extensive, complex systems with little to nobody to fill those specific roles, you'll find it chaotic and difficult to deal with organization and keeping track of persons within them.

I do like your idea of Conscripts, however. So as long as they are cannon fodder, and under equipped as you have stated.
And something I will mention to any server owner or administrator;
Limit the voice-commands. Make them absolutely minimal. It immediately turns me off when I see a low-ranking unit who uses voice command as a crutch and has no remorse, no second judgement, simply put; 'Robocop'. Set a bar and a standard for detailed and well done roleplay, and don't let them skimp out on grammar and punctuation. With voice-command using units, also comes ones that construct poor, incomplete sentences almost 90% without ANY periods / full stops at the end of the sentence.

I can't give any feedback on the map as I'm not familiar with it. I will however, keep up with this thread and will possibly swing by sometime if all goes well.

 

I've updated the thread, taking into consideration of what @AntiShitizen and @Dee Pixel had said.
The following changes are:
1)Complete Revision of the Metropolitan Police Force, as well with Division/Ranking system for them.
2)Complete Revision of the Overwatch Transhuman Arm, as well with Classification system for them.
3)Extra screen-shots showing off the map.
4)Server based around Half-Life 2:Retail and not based around Half Life 2:Beta.
{I'm sincerely sorry, for any grammatical issues. English isn't my first language, so I tend to screw up on grammatical sorta things; However, I do try my best to correct those errors!}

 

Looks good. I hope your community does well. Good luck.
