Wah. Listen man, it's in the game, it's in the game. If it wasn't in the game, people would bitch "Man, these guys run like sticks, you can only jump to try to dodge bullets". So just drop it. Be happy there's a fucking game to play in the first place.

Its in the game yes BUT it was removed by ea due to complaints. Its only possible to enable by editing a tik file so its not something that people really want to see enabled. As for bullet dodging well if leaning left and right is to "dodge bullets" id say this game has more in common with the matrix.

[Bazooka_Joe]

I dodge bullets by stopping and running, strifing, but never jumping or leaning. I don't use the leaning, but I have no issue with people using it. I think it's dumb as hell, and it's funnier to kill someone using it, but I don't feel that it should be stripped from the game.

Wow, i haven't seen too many of you guys in servers lately. Where do you all play normally? Most of the time, i see the regulars in the AAN server and never aa.com. Do any of you hang out mostly in the spearhead server?? Just wondering since i don't seem to see you all anymore.

And since when is MOH:AA real life? Go join the French Foreign Legion if you want real combat, brainiac. MOH:AA is an arcade style game, whether or not you like to admit it. It was built using a tweaked Quake 3 engine! Of course there are going to be unrealistic elements to it.

Go play another game if you dont like the unrealistic elements of MOH:AA.

FINALLY, someone agrees that MOHAA is an ARCADE game. If someone gets soooo picky about stuff like leaning, well just go play some America's Army. That's realistic-- your scope shakes from your breathing(don't know how more realistic you can get). Plus, you go for training....so don't complain about MOHAA if there are other games out there that were made specifically for a REALISTIC gameplay.

Does the aa.com sever have the same name it had a month ago on spearhead? I will not be able to buy spearhead for about another week.

buy? data data data...*cough* pm me *cough*

Everyones quite aware it was built on the quake 3 engine. Spearheads multiplayer was supposodly made with the main goal of eliminating things people didn;t like. At the top of that list was the leanstrafe around the map lameness. The realistic mode in spearhead works ok, it gives the game a sort of day of defeat feel.

Im not all about realism and i don't play americas army, what myself and others have wanted though is an upto date game styled like day of defeat and the spearhead addon in realism mode almost gets mohaa up to this level.

For the noob members around here a little info for you all. When allied assault was being made around last june all of us on the forum wanted the multuiplayer mode to rival day of defeats modes. The game didn't turn out like that. Dod has since gotten more popular and ea obviously have noticed this and included a similar mode in spearhead.


The realism mode in spearhead imo has the right amount of balance and fun combined. I don't however see this lean strafe crap as being either fun or balance, its nothing but a retarded looking annoyance. If it was top of ea's list of thing's to be left out of multiplayer then obviously more than just me gets pissed off about it.

It ruins what can be a fun experiance by (A) looking completly fucking stupid, and (B) can give lamers an advantage who are used to waddling maps like some kind of duck, no-one can deny the fact that the sight of someone walking and firing and constantly bouncing left and right is very offputting.

For those of us that want a more dod like game it just smacks of the original allied assault multiplayer modes. Id rather move onwards than have people crying about not being able to waddle like a duck in order to get every little advantage they can over people.

People complain about me complaining about this lean strafe shit. But at the same time the people whining back at me are the same people who use the lame tactics with this lean strafe shit. Try to play the game without NEEDING to have an advantage over other players, lean strafing is lame it was taken out of multiplayer for that reason and now we hear people find it "impossible" to play without it.

Ok, fair enough. But if you want MOH to be more like DoD, then why not say that in the first place, instead of resorting to the real life argument?

I dont like DoD, so I dont want MOH to replace it. And trust me, I can live without the lean/strafe tactic. I use it when its available, just to keep on a level playing field with the others (kinda like when I switch from rifle to MG, and mow down the MG whores because they think they are owning that guy with the bolt action).

But I dont need lean/strafe either. Its just a tactical change for each type of game play that comes at you. And I have made this same point in other threads about any issue that arises concerning gameplay and the supposed exploitation of advantages: adjust your tactics to the situation. Real life: they do that in combat.

Bottom line: if you get fragged its due to one of two reasons: 1) you made a mistake or 2) your opponent made a better play.

And even though you repeatedly say people wanted lean/strafe eliminated (as if everyone in the MOH community did), obviously you are wrong. After all, people arent accidentally allowing lean/strafe on their servers; they have to intentionally allow it, as you so clearly stated by saying they have to edit a .tik file.

Obviously some people wanted it changed (and you are one of them). But that doesnt mean everyone wanted it changed.

The reason it's not been full, is it's not being broadcasted on GS even with the ui_dedicated set to 1.

There having problems restarting the server from my control panel and i have a trouble ticket into them.

[Sgt. Tsunami]

I'm now having probs connecting. I go to connect via IP, and it says it's using an older version 1.11. Is it offline or something?

[rudedog]

I restarted it the old fashion way and it rebooted as MOHAA not SH. I have a ticket into tech support.
