so says the ubi mods anyways!
In the next auto update, you can expect the .50 Cal issue and Friend List Join Feature to be fixed. The ELO System bug will also be fixed. No news on exact date of the next DLC, but know that it is coming.

30 minutes??? More like 2 hours that Silver and I were in there with those punks. I finally gave up on the TK'ing them when they brought four other guys in to help. Killed my stats for the week I'm sure. Props to Silver for continuing the battle though.

It's about time! For a while I was starting to suspect that this .50 patch was just the wet dream of hardcore RS3'ers.

Well after reading that thread more today, I'm not sure if it is the power of the .50 that is being changed now or just simply the running with ability that is being changed.:watchout: I hope it's both, but I guess only time will tell.:huh:

last month I played with one of the UbiSrvs. I actually got the guy to accept my friend request... Im special. He said that the .50 patch was gonna be like an extra feature to change in the room. like when you made a server you could choose whether or not to allow .50's liek you allow thermal vision or night vision or punish the team killer.
What is the Friend's list? That if it says you can join a friend you can't actually join? Not familiar with the friends list problem.
And please change the ELO, it looks like Im a super cheater cuz mine is at like 12,000 something.

I think the friends list thing is, that when you lookat your list lets say it shows 7people online and you know they are in the same game, it says you can join but when you try it says "server full". Thats because only the host (if they are on your list) will show up as "Playing" not "Joinable".
If anyone understood that.

If anyone understood that. Righttttttttt...:watchout:
So only hosts show up as Playing if they cannot be joined, but everyone else if they're in a game has the "Join" thing?

I'll try and explain the Friends thing a bit better
Say I'm hosting
I set it up for 12 total - 7 friends
Once 7 friends come in, no other friends can join, thus, making the server 'full' to ppl on my list. Also, if 7 join, then 1 leaves, leaving 6, no others can join as of right now
That is what is getting fixed I do believe.

well i was hoping it is something like this
on ur friends list, u see 1 of ur friends playing and u see that his game is joinable. however, when u join one his game, u end up seing server full. what they should do is to fix the server full thing when the server is full. like "not joinable" or "joinable" instead of "join" on every of ur friends that are playing.
ok, what i said above prolly made no ****ing sense. sorry. :huh:

Thats because there really is a slot open. But someone else has joined the server before you. The time it takes to connect to a server varies depending on your connection etc.
Thats not a bug.

It's exactly what I was talkinga bout - but from a joining point of view, rather than the server point of view that I was coming from.

but there has to be a glitch when u try to join ur friend game 7 times in a row when it says "joinable" but ur always getting "server full".

Id rather it give me the option to join, although there is no space. Just so i know they are in an actual game..
I think its fine how it is.

12-14-2003, 09:34 PM
Its good the way it is, but Id like them to show if the server is full before I try a 1000 times to join.

I won't be getting the patch for the .50. I'm going to show my friends what all the fuss if about. They don't game as often anymore and this will catch them off guard. Yes, it's a bit dirty. But it will be fun.

i dont know, but u will probably be required to dl the patch before u play on live. if u ignore it, u wont be able to play live until u dl the patch.

I don't have live anymore, so that's not a problem. But I'll LAN with my friends and introduce them to 50 in the proper way.:D

Than everyone will use one, and the game wont be played as intended. You will be hurting the fun factor in the long run.
Just a thought....

You can run around with the weapon and you shouldn't be able to, and you can shoot someone in the foot and kill them (something that should be impossible). Basically, if you're using it, in an ubiserver...9 times out of 10 you'll be teamkilled.

Imagine a gun that kills with 1 bullet, and has no recoil and is semiautomatic.
You can run and gun with this thing. Its like a rail gun in quake, but with a faster rate of fire.

Ok, so it will be fun when I use it and then ban anyone else from using it. It's ok if I am the only one to enjoy the unbalanced gun.

If they do fix it i doubt they will fix the damage mabye make it a sssslllloooowww reload. Mabye let a shell out manualy and put in another. Like shooting a 22.

Well that would make it bolt action, the .50 cal isnt a bolt action rifle.
THey need to make it so its got some recoil.
And i know they wont do it, but your guy should move slower when carrying it.
Looks pretty heavy to me...

In this ubi.com thread (http://forums.ubi.com/messages/message_view-topic.asp?name=rs3xbox&id=zzmpo), an ubi staffer tells us what to expect in the next DLC. Unless we get more improvements than the ones onlined, we can only expect the "ability for admins to turn on/off the .50 Cal." I just hope the dedicated hosts remember to turn it off. I wouldn't mind a mandatory lobby timer, but that's a little OT.

That's awesome actually seeing the gun in action.

Geez....nearly everyone here sounds like a butch of babies! If you see a dude first, smoke his ass! Who cares if he has a .50 caliber!? Kill the b!tch before he kills you!
If I remember, the .50 caliber is part of the game. Playing Rainbow Six: 3 is not like playing as Rambo...you gotta all chill out...it's a tactical based shooter.

Since ya don't play much, I'll forgive ya.
Almost everyone who plays on a regular basis and as far as I know, every clan at teamcompete agrees that the .50 should be out.
Part of the game? Sure. See someone first, smoke them first, is not always possible. Your weapon has a lower range/accuracy, and probably has more recoil than than the .50. Not only that, but w/ a guaranteed death on any part of your body, you can pull 3-4 solid chest shots while they get ya once in the ankle. It's plainly unbalanced.
It's nothing like it was in GR, where it was almost worthless up close, and you certainly couldn't just rapid fire it from a distance. It just plain makes the game no fun, except for those who are carrying it. Or if the people carrying it suck, but they should be ignored anyway.
This has been argued to death. I'd say the biggest argument for it, is that I have not run into one single skilled player who approves of the .50. While the people who can't hit you w/ a shotgun standing still at 4 feet, argue over and over again, (and usually in a loud voice, with plenty of homosexual references) that it's part of the game. I'm just glad they released the new option.

Hmm....While they were at it they should have fixed the damage and accuracy of some of the other guns, too.
Whats the .50 cal. thing? Is it just how that many people use it and it's cheap?

Theres plenty of threads in this area that explain its issues.
To sum things up, its basically a semi-automatic rail gun you find in some SCI-Fi FPS games.
