Wave To The Rally

[Sadist_Cain]

I understand Rally points are being changed for 0.8 (so please dont shoot me Fuzz :P)

In spite of that during these mysterious times in the fog of... mystery waiting for 0.8, I'm intrigued on peoples thoughts on my thoughts.

Rally points

• You spawn at the rally point in waves, so the whole squad must be dead to respawn
• You get one respawn on your rally, so after the squad is wiped out it needs to be replaced
• Placing the new rally requires moving 200m from the site of the previous one
• Big text and bullet points makes me feel professional

I think it might be a good way to induce a fear of death, especially with a full squad stalking through the streets of Basrah with that "who's gonna be first?" going through your head

I think that's a great way to make people wait for their squad too...

just not the... entire.. place a new one...

then you're constantly having to move...

._. no do that...

But the entire wave thing..... makes it a big waste of time..

though what about that one guy who just won't die?

Then you spawn at main? =D

[Ghost1800]

Most of this is moot with the new revive time stuff, but anyway...

What about us people who for some reason just don't die that much? Should we be punished by the rest of our squad leaders because we're forcing them to wait to spawn? Because I bet a lot of SLs would kick that 'one guy who refuses to die' out of the squad to shorten their spawn time by a couple minutes.

agree, but as others have said, the rest just punishes the squad for one of their guys being alive

well i mean... you could go back to main if you're really in such a hurry

[Conman51=US=]

i actually like spawning in waves..and if a guy doesnt die u can just spawn at main..or make it half the squad has to be dead to spawn at the rally...but not the moving your rally around all the time...its hard enough find a good place that is hidden from the enemy

I prefer my suggested idea in the medic squad thread.

Have the entire team respawn only a few time in wave during the entire round. Although, they can chose to spawn at main base or RP if there's any up for their squad once the wave is coming.

or, only 1 life/round

Special Game mode

To the original poster:

I agree with your first point, and think it might be a good addition. Perhaps, however (and this is probably derived from the Insurgency mod for HL2), the squad leader could have a limited number of "forced respawns" per wave. So, if the situation calls for an immediate spawn of the waiting squad members, or there's one guy in the squad who just won't die, the squad can still spawn. If the squad leader is alive, this would be used through the Comm Rose. If not, the Commander has to force-spawn the squad.

The amount of force-spawns could be per rally point, to encourage the movement of rallies (so essentially offer you your later points without the necessity of coding limiting features).

This just makes me a sad panda.....I hope the rally points don't change that much....

Special Game mode

That would work as a special game mode, not as much else..

its like.. Public server wise storyline:

Dave: "Oh hey, yeah.. it's like.. 12, so i'm going to go play some Project Reality ok?"

Girlfriend: "Ok. Love you."

Dave: "Uh huh... me too.. uhhh.. byyye?"

Girlfriend: "You like never tal-"
*dave hangs up*

Dave: "Ok.. time to looooaaaad. Do do DOOOOO do dododoooo *loading BF2* OK! Oh... Hog (or "Insert any other server you wish", =Hog= is my most recent as of tonight) has a new server playing the new game type... Guess i should try it out.. and look it's even Muttrah City (Version 2, )

*joins server*

*waits through the 7 minute load up time cause even on medium/low settings it takes forever (old computer for me)*

Dave: "Ok... do odo DOOOO "
*joins game, finds a squad titled "Teamwork", then chooses a kit and spawns at rally, or not*
Dave: "wait.. whoa whoa whoa... why can't i spawn at rally?"
Squad Leader: "Nub you have to wait for the waves man... read the manual...."
Dave: "Oh... waves? Oh yeah i remember some guys and that Lithium... battery guy talking about it"

*dave finally spawns, dies*

Dave: "WTF? I just spawned!"

Squad Leader: "Yeah well.. go ahead and spawn at main"

*dave spawns at main*

Random Idiot #172: "Hehe... Boom"

*RI#172 detonates a C4 near most of the spawn points*

Dave: "WTH!?!?!?... Ok... i'll try again"

*dave tries to spawn, but notices that a small thing saying "You are dead" down where his compass usually is*

Dave: "Why... does that say i am dead? i know i'm dead.. im trying to respawn"

Helpful Member: "Oh... yeah you only get 2 lives on this server"

Dave: "Are... you kidding me? o_o I just got here.. it's only 5 minutes into the round!"

HM: "Yeah well, the round should only last a few more minutes. Everyone will die soon anyways, except for the skillful snipers.. that might make it last the entire 2 hour time limit. They'll never find each other"

Dave: "... so we just sit here... and wait?"

HM: "Yup..."

Dave: "With the black screen that blocks everything we can see..."

HM: "Yup..."

Dave: "For hours....."

HM: "Affirmative.."

Dave: ".. the realism is cool.. but this isn't america's army... and... Muttrah... is... huge..... compared to... any map really...."

Squad Leader: "Do i really have to deal with this baby all day?"

Dave: "... i'm sorry i got taken out by a team killer"

SL: "Boohoo, deal with it... "

Dave: "You... you know what this has gotten ridiculous... when the dev's add a nuke, i might come back... but until then... geez....."
