1.50 Ideas

Re: 1.50 Ideas

Welcome to the internet, sport!

Re: 1.50 Ideas

There might actually be a safe kit fix!

I ripped this of my clan's forum:

start 2142, enter a server, set up every kit the way you like it for both teams

make sure you spawn in as each class on each team at least once - that's 8 suicides if you're keeping count (easiest to do all this on an empty server)

then alt-tab and go to My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\0001

copy Profile.con and make the original read-only

now it should work forever. you have to alt-tab because if you quit the game it will overwrite all your settings with junk. the key is to save it while you're still in the server. i did this a few months ago and my settings have all been perfect ever since.

this will stop working temporarily if you switch accounts without restarting 2142. and it seems to only read the file when you first start the game, so if you change your gear it will stay changed until you quit 2142.

Btw, 2142 Sharqi would be a great map!

i wrote that guide, thanks for giving me credit

Re: 1.50 Ideas

some people have gotten creative with dealing with titan gun whores by RDX glitching them when the forcefields go down. Its about time someone figured out how to stop that constant rain of shells.

But the approved, but more difficult method is to have someone go engineer or get on the AA to attack the guns as a diversion while someone else steal the silo from under their noses.

Or have an apc full of soldiers unload and instantly cap the silo. They can hide in the APC when the shells start to fall but they can all jump out during the reloads. Done quickly enough and they shouldn't have enough time to bombard the silo twice. Good luck mustering enough team coordination to pull that one off tho.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

or even better dont allow the titan ground cannon to be repaired from inside but you gotta take a helicopter to repair them? ooooh woulda be cool though.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

In the good old year of two thousand one hundred and forty two(2142), do you honestly think that the "Titan Developers" would design the Titan attack turrets to allow their soldiers to die if they were disabled by Pilum, or anything for that matter? Honestly its just a dumb idea, not to be rude, but why would an explosion on the BOTTOM of the Titan, follow through all the way up to your Titan Turret control seat? Just stop.....stay out from under the damned Titan, that simple.:thumbsup:

Stay out from under the Titan! What if the Titan is hovering over three silos that you need to capture!

I played a few rounds on 48 player Suez Titan the other day as I was trying to get 15 heals in a round and thought it would give me plenty of opportunity. Jeez it was just awful. Both Titans near the centre of the map and both raining down constant TGS on the silos & map. I don't know why people play on 48 player servers, you can't take two steps.

Besides I think it has been mentioned that the original idea was for the feedback from the gun destruction to kill the spammer - as evident in the animation.

You forget something. This is a game. I didn't play Titan much, but I can see why people would like Titan Gun spammers to die with their overpowered gun.

Lol thats actually a grand idea. Get rid of all those dip****s that whore the titan guns all game and have 8.0 KDRs from it. I personally think it would be hilarious to watch people get fried when the turrets blow up and start screaming. Can there be a little flame effect so they light on fire and burn to death?

Re: 1.50 Ideas

About the titan guns killing you when they blow up:

When a titan gun is destroyed. The screen or "Computer" thing blows up too. So maybe you should die.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

Why not have a Herzog as number 3 weapon and Herzog/PK choice for number 5/6?

Re: 1.50 Ideas

This will be map nr4 then?

Diavik: Ice/snowy setting in a cole mine?
Unknown refugee camp: Same setting as camp gibraltar
another unknown map: i heard it had kinda the dust 2 settings from css
screenshot map? unknown.

I think one is called Anzio, it's a place in Italy.
I think that was where one of the main landings was in WWII, but I'm probably wrong.....

I've said it before, but I'll say it again... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BRING BACK POD-SURFING!

And you may even bring back many of the players that left.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

Generally, I'd like to hear all the radio messages that are located in the sound folder but never are used. You know, like "Enemy mines", "Incoming grenade", "Missile fired" and stuff.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

You know there is a selecting detonator voice over but its only spoken by Squad leaders so its kinda useless.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

point taken, so it pays to be alert while you are riding and be prepared to bail on the first sign of trouble caused either by
-hp bar dropping suddenly
-air transport falling like a rock
-if you think the pilot is going to ram that enemy vehicle

What i do sometimes when riding airtransport is to repeatedly tap on the F1 key for the duration of the ride incase the pilot bails out unexpectedly so i can take control and put it up right before it crashes.


Oh, one suggestion i would like to make for 1.50 is that RDX have a 1 or 2 second delay between detonation and the actual explosion so that it makes RDX carbombing slightly more difficult and give the target a chance of escaping... or a moment of dread. It would also be good to hear the user say "Fire in the hole" and maybe a beeping sound as well. It would certainly change the way rdx is used, but hopefully for the better
