Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

capture the flag would suck
Better modes would be
-push
-supply lines
-hold and secure

I have to disagree with that!

CTF is a lot of fun. remember that we are here in a game, so no one should ask what is the point of capturing a flag (actually I personally think that supply line is not fun!). it definitly needs a lot of skill when you have a flag and 16 players are chasing your @$s! how about capture the flag with air only vehicles... like DC-No-Fly-Zone and CTF in DesertCombat good old days.


I thought that dropping vehicles was a joke but they seem to be dead serious! :cry: maybe they should put some limitations on it like not being able to drop it in the enemy's airfield and all vehicles spawn points and the top of the buildings.... etc. I can hear a lot of stories about how people are going to exploit them.

now you can reach the high buildings of karkand even more easily if you drop a vehicle on top of a nearby building to help you get to the next building.

What we would like to see next from EA is a better support for the modding community... and of course keep making new maps.

we badly need CTF and Air-only maps

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

I dunno how keen I am on the air dropped vehicles idea.. guess I'll need some more info on that.

I'm definitely on about the new Co-op game mode tho, that's going to be fun. I'm a little nervous about the way that feature is phrased tho: "..allows you to play Single Player levels.."

Ok.. so does that mean only the 16-player maps will be available for this mode? 8 humans vs 8 bots? No Mashturr City or Kubra Dam? If that's the case, I'll probably be a little disappointed..

The fixes sound good, so either way, I'll be pleased to see the new patch when it's released.

How about idiot commanders dropping humvees on the carrier! That is why there should be a limit on where you can drop them!

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

I wonder what ABR are thinking right now...

What do you mean? I'm missing your point, sorry.

Should be a good patch, hopefully it will turn out as intended. It will be interesting to see how the new vehicle drop feature will turn out, and how it will be moderated, on a timer, like artillery?

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

LMAO! Chopper spawns will get camped by dropping hmmvs on it. GG DICE, brilliant idea.

well, if it gets dropped on your chopper spawn, blow it up or drive it away. im guessing you can shoot it out of the sky if its about to land on top of your teams chopper, and maybe itll have a delayed effect so commander cant drop it right away. my only fear is that a bad commander will drop a tank in a wrong place and then the map goes unbalanced one side rape for rest of the round

Sounds good, but am sure the vehicles drop thing will only be droping small vehicles and not tanks.

Time will tell, but I agree.

Are they developing coop aswell? Or do you mean, could they make a ranking sytem for coop? Sorry, I don't know my stuff when it comes to ABR

Yes I think someone said somewhere else that it is humvees...

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

hmm wonder where they got the idea of dropping vehicles from? Could it be ....

*cough* DCX *cough*


Not exactly the same thing as in this case the commander pretty much controls where it's going. In our case you could only do it from Position 6 of the Herc.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

Is the vehicle dropping limited to jeeps only or can commander drop tanks and apcs too?

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

^ they better not be talking Tank and APC drops.. that'd be pretty lame.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

Wait a minute, the Coop seems good, but I really hope its going to be ranked (sortof cheap getting promoted killing computers! )

I don't see where you are going with it either...

Regarding the new game mode, I think it's a brilliant idea. Clans will be able to utilize it best. They can practice tactics and strategy with live targets on their own terms. They wont be the smartest of enemies, but it's definitely a step up from having to face your own people that know your tactics and how you play.
