the new patch (atrillery in your area)

[majsmt]

A lot of discussion on the new patch already.I have read some of the proposed changes reference to bunny hopping and throwing and shooting while doing so. All have sturred up quite a lively discussion for sure.I hate bunny hopping personally however I dont think it has a major impact on the game. I do think that artillery is entirely out of hand. Since the new 1.03 patch it is awfull. It almost becomes impossible to play at times. Both commanders are dropping the stuff on the same locations with no fear of team kill.And the recycle times are far too short its comming continously, no break.We really need a fix for this stuff more than anything I think. Turn it down some or better a lot. Increase the recycle times to about five minutes or give the server an option where he can set it to his preference.HELP artillery in your area.

i think it should be limited to a certain number of times, depending on the map size, like maybe 3x for 16player maps, etc

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

I could definitely do without artillery all together.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

I hate artillery too.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

We all hate stuff that kills us but I think arty has its place.

Commanders just need to be accountable for TK's (as they originally were) so they are more strategic when it comes to placement and timing..

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

arty is good as it is, so keep it like it is
there are only some stupid commanders, who need mutiny
or people whining about getting killed too much by arty, they should stop camping, move more or be less in places with lots of infantry :p

Amen brother.

Artillery is the only chance when some rambo rusher in a jeep breaks through the frontlines on Karkand, heads all the way back to your MEC Factory, and no one else on your team can respond fast enough.

Yeah, I'm sorry but all you people b1tching about Arty really need to stop whining.

It has its place, and what you are blaming are the stupid commanders you have. Granted I do think that commanders should be held accountable for teamkills. Artillery has a place within the game, this is just like whining about people who use the m203 at all. There are some of who use it as it was meant to be used, and those who hop around like idiots and shoot it at their feet. Well they won't be able to do that any more, shooting it at your feet will most likely get you killed after the next patch.

Get use to Artillery.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

I would keep the arty as is but dummy down the points earned as commander. it's too easy to pad.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

Artillery would be fine IF commanders will be accounted 4 TK,the use of it is limited to a certain number of times, but mostly if commanders assets (including Arty) will not be repairable by supply crates.

If they are forced to send someone, or do it themselves (so prolonging the times between strikes), that will make Special Ops job more usefull and mostly more fun!

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

Maybe if they made it so it could only be dropped when and where a squad leader designated. That way the commander wouldnt be able to just drop it randomly across the way, interupting play.

This is a bad idea because the commander has a better idea of threats and their concentrations on the map via UAV, Sat scan, etc.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

A good point. If a special opps soldier makes his way to the commanders assets and risk all that time and effort he gets rewarded 1 damn point. He helped out his team fair enough but 1 point come on . He should get two kills minimum. And what are the fruits of his labor the ******* commander lying there out of harms way simply drops a supply crate on it and away you go more of that discusting crap falling from the sky. How about the way it really was a FO has to give him cords to drop the stuff on target. And an engineer needs to be present to repair just as it was. They are taking him out of the game it was a good class. Two ******* commanders can make this game unbearable on certian maps like Karkand.Also does the stuff fall in so close a sequence hell you cant run fast enough to clear it. I know this may seem extreme but the game would be better off without a commanders position.Let the server have the option with or without then we all win.
