Will the basic assault rifles for Nod and GDI soldiers do equal damage? I hope so...so it's equal and the player with better aim wins.

Yes they are equal, and as you may have noticed the Nod soldier's head isn't big like in Renegade.

How does that balance out?
If GDI had a stronger rifle, and Nod's infantry had bigger heads, doesn't that mean Nod got hit with a double wammy? GDI could do more damage and have a larger target to hit.
I could understand if Nod had the stronger rifle to makeup for the larger heads, but that isn't the case.

You have considered that there is a reason for GDI doing more damage with soldiers?
I think they do more damage with rifles for the simple reason that the GDI vehicles are way more expensive than the Nod vehicles.
For example,
a teched art vs a teched mrls = art wins
an art vs MRLS = art wins most of the time
an art vs Med = about equal chances overall, but the med is 350 credits more than the art.
An teched art vs Med = med losses big time, while they are the same in price.
An teched art vs 2 meds = art in trouble, but still has a small chance (800 vs 1600 creds!)
Certainly at the start of a match where people fight for the harvester it is crucial that GDI is a little bit better, simply because they will probably need to save 2 harvesters while Nod only needs to save 1 harvester. For this reason GDI has more cheap fire power.
I hope you've well tested this damage change, or adjusted pirces for vehicles as well...

EWD is right. There's a reason why GDI's rifle does more damage.
Also: did you "implement" point fix or did you recreate the corrupted point system standard Renegade has?

anyone else here waiting with anticipation for a 500 line lecture from spoony?
EDIT : also goztoe, the "point mod" still has rubbish points gain. all thats needed to change from standard ren points is the ramjet getting less points vs armour IMO, leave everything else

Kinda, anyway, it's because of these small little things that renegade plays this good, and I am kinda worried they'll get that wrong in RenX, possibly ruining the gameplay.

I understand your explanation, but I don't really see how a slightly stronger rifle magically balances with Nod's artillery advantage - especially since the damage difference between the rifles is so small, and the GDI soldier is something that is used very early on. Nod's advantage with the artillery sounds like something that needs to balanced between vehicles (like a better MRLS for example?), rather than nerfing the damage of basic infantry.
Anyways we'll be sure to test it out before release. Thanks for voicing your concerns.
And for the record, the main reason for open betas is to get little things like this right before an official release. With the difference in engine and physics, you're bound to run into at least a few differences; some of which could be fixed early on.

fobby is correct. just as you don't fix a headache by taking an antacid, you don't correct a vehicle imbalance problem by giving GDI basic inf a slightly better gun.
|
lol wrong analogy...a better analogy will be that it is a small cancer that has the potential to spread and affect all over the body.
Looking at EWD's post, this will affect who gets vehicles first and is related to pricing as well.
But since this is open beta I am sure they can fix any imbalances they find and patch em up as they release the other parts.

I didn't realise that it wasn't going to be an exact translation from renegade. I assumed the warhead types, damage multipliers, damage values, credits gained, health, armor values and all that stuff was going to be a precise copy.
So it could be that the end product looks like renegade, only much much better, has the CNC mode like renegade, but the balance could be quite different, meaning different strats and techniques must be employed?

This is actually the only damage value that is different right now. Like I said though, it will be tested prior to the beta release with Renegade's rifle damage.

Do seriously consider the alternative if you suddenly find that Nod has a 15-20 minute win, most of the time. (Balanced firepower leads to both teams getting vehicles, Nod wins field w/ teched arts then proceeds to win the game)
A server I once played on tried this, it caused a few problems, but as we were a Marathon server, it didn't matter that Nod could (almost) always get the eraly field and seige, points were irrelevant. Not quite the same on AOW.
Meh, we shall see. This can be discussed forever in theory, let's wait and see.
