Should the hitsound, which is currently present in the RPM 0.785 beta version, be included in the final version of the mod? The hitsound will be optional, so you will be able to turn it off using the menu.

It improves your aim, but it makes the game less Pure. Everybody will use RPM 0.79 eventually (just like everybody uses 0.78 now), so you don't have any advantage over other players. Quake 3 has a hitsound as well.

If you vote, please leave a short message with your opinion.

how does it exactly improve ur aim?

[heldro]

no, noobs should learn to aim by themselves.

[bing bang blaow]

I vote that it's disabled during competition mode, it's a massive advantage and you shouldn't just ignore that because you think eventually everyone will use that mod.

Even if everyone uses it, it's still a bad idea for wars as then you know FOR SURE if you hit someone at sand bags, or anywhere in fact - as you don't always see that well when your fighting someone.


(There's a reason no competitive games have hit sounds)

Pretty much agree with this, but then there's also other ways to confirm if you hit your enemy such as #t and the spec thing where people who are dead and spec you can see enemies hp once your aim gets anywhere close them, often through walls(specially through sandbags).

I am not sure if this feature is present in comp mode but when someone kills you, console shows their HP left..that's somewhat unfair also imo...but thats another topic lol

[/2eality]

the game is quit dead allready so why not, variety in the game is nice also instead of playing each time pure (u can compare it with playing shop all the time instead of another map).

NO

Haven't tested this one myself but as far as I've got it right , I would totally say no. There was hitsounds in the mods earlier when they were allowed and ehm.. They pretty much sucked. Never liked them and always had to remove them if I used someone else's mod than my own. It's annoying to hear if you've hit someone and you can always check it with #t ( I do it pretty often so I know by that if I've hit him/her or not ) . I believe not many want to have a sound if they've hit someone , atleast it seems like that. Would really appreciate if you didn't modify it and keep it like it was meant to be in this old old game.

EDIT: And yea , if it was optional , it would be abit unfair since it might give some advantage to some people.

luigi so we are talking about that, if u dont like it, u can turn it off, it's your choice if u use it or not.

i voted yes, for sure
very nice thing, especially useful to play with laggers because it's big problem to hit them and with sounds u know if u have hit them so game vs laggers is more equal

agree

[max]

Seems like only 40% is against adding the hitsound, so I guess it should remain in the mod.

[dvz]

lol would be nice to see who actually voted, its your call but i wouldnt give this poll too much importance

[max]

I figure that people who are firmly against it are more likely to vote. So it seems like most people are OK with it. Though if you think this poll is not representative, please elaborate.

[BariS]

I voted no. I'm a hater.
Nah I just want to keep it as pure as possible.

Max I think that those who really want it, also insist others to vote for it.

[heldro]

Oh if everyone uses hitsounds mods its not ok but when it is put in rpm its ok. stupid hypocrites. lets insert glowmodels next.

[pummi]

Everybody uses the same RPM, so everything's equal.

What a flawless logic. Maybe you could include wallhack to next RPM mod because as you said, it would be equal for everyone.

Hit sounds are fucking ridiculous and they should be used only on some h&s server where 12yr old kids and demo players spend their time. The least that should be done is having hit sounds off when !cm is on.

Indeed all things would still be equal.

Why are they ridiculous? Why should they be allowed in public servers and not in competition mode?

[XILLAX]

I voted no.

[bia-tch]

If u wanna fuck this game up more then it already is, then be my guest and include them in your RPM, but then more people will leave, and the game is already dying by the day. Keep it as pure as possible please.
