Sandbags

[R-DEV]Dunehunter · 05-14-2007, 02:56 PM

I used the search function, but didn't find anything...

Is there any way to make sandbags and a number of other types of cover just a bit lower? Right now, when you crouch, you can't see over them. And when you stand up, you get a lot more recoil, plus you're an easy target.

Maybe lower the terrain underneath them or something? I know nothing at all about modding or making maps for BF2, I'm just curious.

Making them lower is possible, it would just take a lot of work to do.

When crouching you can move and stand up faster than if you are lying prone behid them to avoid getting shot, so I say they are actually fine now - I'd rather not be shot in the head when I try to hide behind them.

That's up to the mappers.

What? My opinion?

MichSt-Spartan · 05-14-2007, 03:47 PM

Not a bad idea, I've never thought of doing that. It can be done.

No, mappers could lower the sandbags, so you could stick your head over them while crouching, but then the sandbags would look like the shooting gallery with all the faces popping up

Anyone thought of a sandbag model with shooting holes, kinda like the medival walls thing?

I just hope you are talking about the sandbags instead of my opinion.

And I really like the medieval wall thing if they are placed quite far from each other.

I don't want to bother, so:

[insert speculation on how cool it'd be if the game properly simulated supported positions here]

[insert bitching about the BF2 engine here]

How would you lay them? With bags full of sand? In real life? Wouldn't the hole just close? (reply to shooting holes in them)
Lol, I'm not army sandbag layer not sure if ti can be done.. Not trying to sound offensive I find it rather annoying too to not be able to shoot over sandbags without being too exposed.
EDIT: I unserstood it wrong.. I think I got it now, like if you cut a piece off from above into the sandbag.. Lol like on top of the castle walls.

That would work too actually. Just a way to actually really use them
