Hazard's Rant About OTA S2K (OTA Perspective)

[GeneralTrivium]

We're not playing this like the HL2 videogame, we're playing as characters in the Half-Life 2 universe bar the features that were present in the game so that the player could win it. (e.g. Enemies being weak, you being overpowered.) I'd use the word "realistically", but I understand the flags that would arise if I were to use that word.

If you didn't want to play as an underpowered, beaten down and weak resistance that is constantly under the threat of being squashed by the Union's boot, then you shouldn't have made a resistance character. Similar to if you didn't want to play as a cog in a huge war machine that has strict rules and requires you to have your humanity stripped away, you shouldn't have made a Combine character.

Simple as.

Not going to get in depth, because I'm sick as fuck and posting from a phone.

Doctor, you call the OTA/CCA biased? You're the one arguing with a fanatic zeal.
Refugees are meant to be fighting a guerilla war. Sure, the OTA can take a few casualties, but defeats on the scale you're mentioning? Unless you were to get an alliance spanning the whole of the server, every character in the valley would be dead in days.
OTA are a tool for roleplay. But they have right to fun themselves.

there's never a perfect balance, the CCA/OTA minded people will want their to side win more, the rebels will want their side to win more, seeing as rebels are characters and OTA are just roleplay tools it's obvious who should have a slight chance of winning

I must admit the OTA/CCA win a lot, sometimes I wish they would lose but not all the time cause then that strays from canon.
