Difficulty adjustment?

[Ronin]

I've been playing through R6V on my PC.  I like the game.  But there really are some times when I want a God mode cheat.  Some of these scenarios I get killed by the one *ssh*l* who doesn't take a shot during the firefight.  Sometimes I have no idea where the shot came from and it's a one shot kill.  I get so frustrated sometimes that I just want to turn on God mode and just go in guns blazing and blow the sh*t out of all of them.

Sometimes it takes several tries to get through a scenario and either I get killed or I kill myself because the grenade key is right next to the "step left" key.  I've killed myself probably 10 times because of that little jewel.  I think I'm going to remap the grenade key to "G". At least that makes sense as a mnemonic (sp?).  But that's not what this post is about.

***** SPOILER ALERT!!!  *****















Last night after playing through the Dante's casino levels.  I ended up in the theater.  I got through the first half (the mezzanine) and then as we got ready to go out on the theater floor several more tangos appeared on the theater floor.  We took those out in a firefight.  Then we proceeded to get up onto the stage.

The stage right avenue is open but it goes behind the stage.  We breached that room and cleared it.  Then I crossed to the opposite hallway (stage left) and met heavy resistance.  Enough that I got killed quickly.  They had a crossfire setup and even peeking would get you killed.

So we start off in the theater section again (past the mezzanine which is a BITCH).  And we clear the theater of tangos.  We move out onto the theater floor and no more tangos show up.  They were there before but not this time.

We cleared the room backstage again.  Same number of tangos there.  Then we entered the opposite hallway.  Nothing.  No resistance at all.  We then proceeded out onto the stage to finish that level (I got killed again because of the flood of tangos this time).

It seems odd that my first time into the theater floor additional tangos showed up.  But they did not show up the second time.  Also the first time through, there was fierce resistance in the stage left hallway.  But none the second time around.  I don't understand this.  Is this difficulty scaling?  Or is it just a mistake in building the levels?

I'm thinking it's just a mistake in the level because every other choke point I've had to get through and took several attempts there were the same number of tangos and in almost the same place (some patrol and so won't be in the same place).

I was _very_ cautious the second time around and threw a lot of grenades because I thought those tangos would still be there.  It was something of a let down when they weren't there.

I still have to make it through downloading the data and, of course, the formula is that you get attacked while you're doing something important and you have to try to protect a member of your team and not get your own butt shot off.  Especially when you're outnumbered 4 to 1.

hahaha, so true. I've killed my teammates and I over the damn Q for grenade. and WHY oh WHY doesnt it automatically switch to the grenades which you actually have. So many times I've forgotten to switch to the other nades and tried to throw an imaginary nade and ate bullets.

[deadsanchez]

that theater level was touch for sure. But its usually my fault for not being patient with my aiming. You have to toss incendiary nades when the dudes drop down and get tangos when they're bunched up. Also some well timed and placed shots at tangos hiding in the seats is important, or they will continue to linger and watch out for the tango way up top.

it was not disappointing to me, i enjoyed the surprises, however frustrating.

The second time I did the mezzanine part of the Dante theater, I did a Sam Fisher on them (we got overwhelmed the first time).  I crept around and just kept taking them out one at a time with  my suppressed G3KA4 (my favorite weapon in the game).  Of course, I'd prefer a Stoner SR-25SD.  But there isn't one in the game. At least the G36C is a good backup.

It's difficult to know when you should carry FBs or ICs.  Usually, I just carry the FBs and frags.

I haven't gotten killed because I was out of grenades, yet.  I usually only use grenades as an offensive move and not as a cover or retreat tactic.  They're also good for misdirection.  Toss a grenade from one place then move and attack from the new position.  All the yacking these guys do pretty well gives away a lot of their positions.

I wonder who Chris is.  They sure talk a lot of trash about him, LOL.

I've managed to kill myself more times than the enemy using grenades. :tongue:  I have to change the default key map - I keep chucking frags accidently.

I constantly hit the wrong button on the 360 controller and toss a grenade when I don't want to.  It's usually towards my men....

[Ronin]

It would be nice if there was a setting that you can't kill your own team mates.  I don't want to throw a frag at my guys in a dustup to kill tangos.  I just hate killing myself or my team by accident.  Remapping keys in R6Vegas doesn't seem to work all that well, though.  When I remapped the "action" key from "space bar" to "F", I can't let go of fixed machine guns anymore unless I try to throw a grenade.  How screwed up is that?

Another thing that screws me up.

When I switch from playing R6Vegas which uses the middle mouse button for "zoom/scope" to playing GRAW which uses the middle mouse button for "cross com" I try to take an aimed shot and pull up the cross com instead.  Bang, I'm dead.  I need to remap that (if possible) on one or the other.  I think I'll change it in R6Vegas since I'm so used to using the right mouse button for aiming/zooming.  Although, I don't know how well that will work out considering what I said above... :hmm:

Is it even possible to remap the controls for the game (R6V) on the 360?

They give you 3 different options (encompassing all the button locations in each option), but you cannot selectively just remap one button like you can on the PC.
