The Foxhole

Expendable Grunt · 02-16-2009, 05:35 AM

I think the current foxholes we have are awesome.png, and I've held off advances by using them on a few occasions.

Downside is they're a HUGE give away that a firebase is near by. They need to be even more exposed than any other asset.

So, I think that we should instead give them to squad leaders as a "anywhere" deployable, but like a rally point, once you set up a new one the old one goes away.

i like...except the one part about place one the other magically disappears, maybe give the Sl a option to remove it..like left click deploy right click destroy..or make them so you can throw an incendiary on it and it wont be team damage

I guess maybe you would have to "pack up", but we could use the system already in place for simplicity. The one at a time limit is a *must* though, to prevent a wall o' holes.

I don't think they should be limited to only 1, but perhaps 2 or 3. Maybe area (or even SL, if that's possible) bound.

I kinda like that they give away the FB position, gives the builders a choice - no defences, hard to find or defences and easy to find.

Which gives a good differential between a Fall back spawn point and an offensive fire support location.

Though, some retexturing and al that to make them a bit less noticeable would be appreciated, especially on the ground section

I love 'm as well. What I love about them most is that you can set down a whopping 10 of 'm if you dont deploy any whire! Build a really big base!

But like Rudd says: Give you a tactical option. Build it up and give away or just leave the firebase and move away.

I agree with the FB defence thing when it comes to AA and MG nests and maybe wire too, but foxholes are something people use to dig in all the time in pretty much anywhere they can be dug when they're needed aren't they?

Personally I think they should be an SL requestable (without commander approval) cos essentially they're just a compromise for not being able to dig into BF2 maps. Personally I think wire+tank traps should be able to be built within a certain limit of crates, not firebases too, I don't think they should be exclusive to firebases either, but obviously they need resources to be built so the crate thing would be sensible.

Would be kinda cool (slightly off-topic here) if there was a way of making it so foxholes can't be built in concreted/tarmacked areas, probably a massive pain in the arse to do with non too greater benefit though.

Double post, is it just me or are the PR and PRT forums real slow today?

The foxhole model could be sandbagged entirely but I don't mind seeing it on concrete, it's ok by me

Great idea,but they should be limited to 1 for each 2 squad members or something...
