HL2RP Red Flag Gaming Rebirth Community

That sounds like a really really bad idea. Define 'absolute savagery and brutal war tactics in executing, punishing and staunching rebels and the level of higher-level' Does that mean a bunch of OTA hop on top of some random rebel and pull some jihadi stunt or repeatedly curb stomping a rebel to 'amputate' them.

I don't think the Combine would mutilate somebody in public because It can and most likely will spark some sort of riot; There's a reason why there's the amputation room WITHIN the nexus or is this one of those custom lore servers where the Combine are doped up on steroids and augmentations basically making them invincible because citizens are malnourished and have little to nothing because, that's a big turn off when you try to corner a MPF and he suddenly breaks your shins from one kick because he has intense augmentations in his leg muscles.

I'm sorry but, this is basically a form of democracy within the Combine and that completely renders all the Combines motive useless. I could be mistaken but I think the whole idea behind Dr. Breen and the Combine forcing their power and destroying Earth's architecture is to show dominance while Dr. Breen is a source of propaganda giving the Civilians a false sense of security but, There is no elections or polls that the Civilians are allowed to partake in. It's literally the benefactors(if you want to call them that) that relay the decisions onto Breen and what he decides is final

Don't mean to burst your bubble but none of this is unique. It's been done before, don't claim something is unique when it's clearly not

 

I don't understand what purpose an Overseer has that a Sectorial doesn't have already. In a lot of servers, there's no point in having a "second in command", in your case the Sectorial, unless you have a lot of players. I don't know if you have a lot of players, but I'm going to assume you don't. This server, from the looks of it, will just be a bunch of higher ranking units. I just noticed that you have Division Leaders, Elite Protection Units, and so on. Doing so usually creates a lot of open positions for higher ranks that are mostly useless. Either that or the positions are all filled and there are very few lower ranks.

Another issue I have with the server is the divisions you have chosen. My personal feelings about divisions on their own aren't good to start with. However, the divisions you have are redundant. There is no need to have a division that specializes in brute force - all units should be trained in brute force. The REAPER division to me looks like it'd be a bunch of friends of the admins circlejerking in a little club. UNION division is useless, as every unit patrols - it'll just become a boring division. The idea of divisions that do things like "engineering" becomes pointless, because there is never anything for them to fix/build. JUDGE is redundant as well, mostly because every unit interrogates and so on.

A lot of the divisions you have set up are for things that every unit should be doing on their own already. The server seems generic and uninteresting in the sense that the server is almost entirely focused on the MPF, rather than citizen roleplay.

 

Why do you need a Civil Security Force for the CWU. I'm pretty sure that's why there's Civil Protection

 

I don't think I've been a dick in the slightest. There's no need for hostility.

 

How are we being dicks? We're pointing things out in this thread that is practically useless and/or makes no sense, I don't think constructive feedback means to sugar code every single thing because you don't want to hurt the community's feelings. It's the cold hard truth. The divisions/squads are pratically useless and I doubt they will provide any actual RP besides being a small favorite players group as @Kennyy stated.
None of this is unique either, It's just generic HL2RP claiming to be unique

Don't be another Nitzan.

 

SAVAGE is a notorious Overwatch division within our initial launch of the server [as in before the rebith, version 1.0], where they were basically a division that dealt with rebels through more physical force as opposed to guns. Once they were in captivity, of course. They are also the main force when rebel situations escalate even after OTA had been called in. So no they will not pull any "I'm OTA so I win 10/10" excuse that breaks immersion nor will they incite anti-Union violence by doing these acts publicly.

The Civil House of Representatives is an illusion; it's not actual democracy of any kind, it just looks like it. Picture the CA being "elected". It's all plastered-on, an act. The only people that will ever get are just loyalists just being used to propagate the Union.

The purpose of Overseer is to have control over an entire region/sector of the earth [sector 1, 2, etc] which are all Europe, Asia and so on. The Overseer in this server is in charge of making sure the labour force of the Union is efficient and producing enough to keep up with the demands of the earth - because Europe is designated for all Union production. The Overseer is about the Sectorial, and an Inspector comes around now and again to check on this Overseer and ensure proper work is being done.

We also do not have any EPU's, we have a single Divisional and quite a handful of ground units. This of course will hopefully grow in due time, and HC will become more of a thing.

Overseer was added for the sake of lore.

In some senses, I agree - some of the MPF divisions can seem useless, but UNION is the literal backbone of the MPF and is the primary source of sweep team members and patrolling units. HELIX, GRID and JUDGE units will be second resorts for these patrols and will be held to a regard of assuming their standard directives.

I promise under all conditions that REAPER will not become a circlejerk, I have come across many servers where DAGGER was privileged admin buddies getting high positions of power for solely being the admin's helper friend. I don't appreciate that corruption in any community, and as the co-owner, I can guarantee I will not let that happen.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, I understand the purpose of the CHoR

 

I'm fine with the idea of an Overseer character. I just don't think it needs to be played in-game. If anything, it's for the sake of lore more than anything.

EDIT: Also, I forgot to add - the idea of a SAVAGE division seems inefficient. The most efficient way to kill is with a firearm. I personally do not believe that the Combine are all about being inefficient and the idea of an entire division dedicated to beating people to death just doesn't make sense.

Like I said, the Combine are meant to be an efficient, well oiled machine. Bringing a very inefficient form of combat into the mix as a requirement of a division doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

 

My only request for this server is that Citizens aren't the faction that gets left out and shit. I feel like this is mainly focused on CCA and the other factions, when it should be Citizen oriented. That's my opinion however, but I hope your server does well.

 

Let's just say it's not for 'killing', it's more for torturing or for more severe procedures.

Oh trust me, we haven't let that happen - nor will we. Citizens are crucial to RP, and I have done some events in the past like flutters of Union propaganda [sheets of paper] being dropped by a helicopter into the plaza to help get some interesting things going with Plaza RP. Citizens, if anything, more attention on servers more often.

 

Settle down, fellahs.
There's no need for this tension. Let's focus on the topic at hand; this community.

The Civil Security Force is something that will preserve manpower and also make CWU more effective; as opposed to units have to stand around guarding the stores, costing manpower and wasting time [usually], there will be trained security on the force with basic melee weapons they are approved to possess by the Union [basically just batons that don't shock people].

 

Thanking you very much for expressing your interest! I truly do appreciate your patience and understanding. Once again I would like to apologize to everyone for the rough start I got in advertising the community.

Oh yes, of course, sir. I won't do it again, my apologies.

 

Thanks much for the offer, I will be certain to add you.

EDIT:

To address this concern, the Overseer will make rare appearances and will often be "out at meetings".
If you guys would be so kind, could you also please remove the negative ratings? People will be discouraged in seeing them and probably will omit the thread.

 

ok so

overseer is basically dispatch but made into a character?

 

They put effort into everything but citizen, the base faction that every person starts out as. It's kinda leaving out an essential part, yeah? That's usually the first thing you write.
