0.5 Rallypoint warning system, like mines - Page 2

The_motivator · 03-02-2007, 01:03 PM

I don't know about that. Some of the maps lend to hiding the packs naturally, such as Ghost train, and all of the chinese foliage maps. The desert maps are the ones i see glitched most often. Perhaps find a workaround for that.

I'm very proud when i find a spot to drop the RP that naturally hides it, like a dip surrounded by foliage, or somewhere that has just the right amount of everything to make them almost invisible, even when you're ontop of them, but they're still there.

I have hid my RP without glitching so well, that even as an SL, I had trouble finding it. Made me look like an idiot running all over the woods desperatly looking for it to request an AT kit ... It is possible in some maps, but in others ...

In BF2142 squad leader spawn points (They are very like rally points) have a flashing light on them and make a beeping sound so the enemy can find them if they at least get near to them. Perhaps we could have a walkie-talkie lying on top of the the rally point giving out a couple of seconds of radio chatter every 5 seconds or so, so you don't get into the situation of having to literally step on them to find them (such as happens in long grass). The noise can be very quiet, so you can't hear it at all more than 10 feet away or if there is a firefight going on.

I think the RPs are good enough. Sure you might get knifed by someone just spawning behind, but now you know theres a RP there and you can come in with grenades, even bullets with the new patch.

Nephrmuus that is actually a prety cool idea

lol implying that Clavdivs isn't a team player is the most amusing thing I've read today!

that is a great idea. we need some better way of finding rally points, whether it's radio chatter, a warning icon, some type of equipment that a certain kit has, or maybe a new feature of the UAV, or something.

i have had the same problem as clavdivs of not being able to find my OWN rally point that i put down. i've had to zoom all the way into the map and mark the rally point with a move marker to locate it a few times (when it's hidden completely ligitimately). finding the enemy RPs becomes a game of waiting and watching spawns. you then have to deal with at least a few more spawns once you've narrowed down the location because the RPs are so hard to spot.

i am still trying to figure out how to best seek and destroy enemy RPs as squad leader, although i am getting pretty good and estimating the locations. arty seems to be a pretty good solution, when available...

a warning sing like that would make it unrealistic and easy as hell to do. we might aswell put back in the kill messages if we do that

I agree.

Seriously people, stop b*tching about rally points and all these little things for which you get killed by for not sticking with your squad or working together.

Point is, if you hide a rally point in a good spot, this system would totally defeat that purpose. Now if someone places a rally point in a wall, it isn't the fairest thing, but you can still find it's source and destroy it.

I mean come on, rely on your squad to get the job done, not the DEVs. They aren't here to hold your hand if you have a little problem to complain about that isn't valid.

give me a break! i solely play in squads using full teamwork and VOIP, and i play WITH THE SAME PEOPLE EVERY GAME (we are all very experienced, savvy players, by the way). how would this defeat the purpose of a well hidden rally point? you would have to be on top of it to get the warning or signal or whatever. in other words, you would have to know the area where the RP was to begin with. these warning would just help in destroying a located RP. get off your high horse...

That is a brilliant idea! I love it.

The thing is sometimes you glitch your rally point without even meaning to which can be annoying as well.

	The verbal brutality found on forums is often reminiscent of the physical brutality found in first person shooters, except that forums allow those with slower reflexes to join the carnage without a handicap.
