Yea I've been thinking of going back into TC: Elite(True Combat Elite). I am playing Urban Terror now, tell me what you think


Gameplay:

Tatical- I think Urban Terror is tactical because when you get shot, you can cover & duck to heal your wounds, but is a pain in the @** to heal them because it takes a while.

- In TC: Elite, its tactical because you can literarlly go behind a corner peak out and then shoot, which is cool because that is kind of realistic since you have to "peak" at a corner before you go in and shoot. It takes away the "spraying" in the game which I think is cool, makes it more realistic.

Realism in Urban Terror:

Urban Terror is focused on blending realism with the fast-paced action of shooters such as Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament. The realism in the mod is introduced through a number of changes. The weapons available are real-life, have recoil, are less accurate when fired while moving, and require reloading after a magazine has been expended. The number of weapons and other gear that can be carried is limited. Damage is also realistic, based on dividing the player target into discrete areas. In addition to the damage system, wounds require bandaging, and wounds sustained in the legs or feet slow the player down considerably until they are bandaged. A stamina system is also present, and is depleted by activities such as sprinting or jumping; crouching down allows the stamina bar to recover faster. Depending on the map being played, external environments are more realistic too and can include weather effects such as rain or snow.


Realism in True Combat Elite: TC: Elite uses Tactical Realism which
is a genre of gaming in first-person shooters where realistic settings are simulated by the game engine to the best of its ability and players use authentic military tactics to accomplish goals in the game.

I think its pretty cool, cause If you played games like the Rainbow Six series, you'll pretty much know what I mean. Here take a look at the videos at the bottom, notice how the player in TC: Elite is hiding behind corners.

Population of servers: I'm not sure which has more TC: Elite or Urban Terror, I haven't played TC: Elite for a while

Other advantages/disadvantages:

- TC: Elite is a mod which you have to download with Return to Castle Wolfenstien

- Urban Terror is a standalone game which you can download

Both are terrible campy funshops.


Go buy an FPS good ones don't cost more than 20 bucks and I KNOW 4 hours of minimum wage can solve your money problem you lazy bums.


DONT COMPARE TC:ELITE TO RAINBOW SIX...

Chaos157

LOL I did buy cs, but I took a break from it I just wanna know ur opinion on which is better.

Stabkiller0

Well I supposed TC:Elite because it looks better and because I'm a veteran ON Enemy Territory and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Is there a target reticle on TC : Elite? It would be really cool if there wasnt...then it would force players to use the iron sight.

do u mean like a crosshair?, I am not sure what u mean by "target reticle". I don't remember I didn't think there is, but there might be an option to use a "crosshair"

KrazyKow

No cross hair, you aim by using iron sights

dam i want to plat tce. i can't get it to work. but their is nothing tactical about urban terror. i mean NOTHING. The only way it's tacticle is if you find a tac server[which is one that says if you run and gun your banned].

Ut not many people know about it or have played but it is good. I like the way it looked before they updated the graphics. I also like how you can heal the wounds you get.

firstly urban terror is NOT tactical in the slightest. Its run n gun, like all quake games always have been. tce is tactical. this is a pointless post, and I dont see why you repeatedly compare urban terror to other counter terrorist games.
