camnet and bullets/ snares

If crouch roll crouch is included in the game then it should be in the tutorial because it is a game mechanic.  Hidden things that the devs don't know about obviously won't be.  Things like the night vision switch to smooth your landing fall in the same category.

It's not a gadget. It's like teaching how to quick cam, how to aggro someone or how to be stealthy..

I think you should teach things that are counterintuitive too.

Right.

Spies are taught that running makes noise.

If there happens to be a caveat to that rule where running makes noise unless X happens, then you should specify what X happens to be.

I agree.  Those are the things that new people don't know, and don't figure out for a long time.

Lol, if you didn't learn quick enough that running makes noise? Umm

[Gawain]

best thing to improve the tutorial is probably watching some friends totally new to svm doing the tutorial and ask which questions they have left that it didn't answer. after gaining some online experience, watch them play and see what main mistakes they make.

Haha I didn't mean that, just things that you don't learn quickly or talked about in the tut.

Good idea gawain.

Yeah that's a good idea.

You could just record a few vets playing, and then have a voice over explaining a feature that is currently being used.

i thought about this, but newbs don't wanna watch vids, they wanna do it in an interactive tutorial. maybe one vid showing advanced stuff for inspiration after the tutorial would be good.

[Ion.67]

Really? I love watching videos of good players.

[Gawain]

i guess you only like it because u actually have an idea of the gameplay after playing it by yourself for a time.

[Farley4Fan]

I hate watching video tutorials, I doubt many people actually like it or prefer it over interactive tuts.

[Gawain]

if you don't undstand what's happening (eg why the vets showed in the vid play cleverly) and have no experience you can relate the shown stuff to, it's boring. the tutorial has to be as interactive as possible. learning by doing.

Watching replays and video tutorials can be helpful, so long as they show you a good enough portion to let you get focus. Most of the problem with video stuff that I've seen is that it shows a very short clip and you can't get an idea of how that fits into the whole game.
