Now that we have the vehicle spawner, the greatest game ever can finally be enacted! "basically: each team starts with 1 apc, no res, you just have to move out and destroy the other apc. when the other apc is destroyed one team gets a point and the map resets. so, squad based work. you would need defenders and attackers. an interesting change? it could exist on all the current maps, but i recommend the small ones, like crossroads." we could even have jeep spawners around the map! Imagine streets of fire, that would be PERFECT for this. origional thread http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=1462
I think he's meaning like.. You get one parked SpawnAPC, and you have to defend it whilst trying to kill the other team's apc. Would be fun, I suppose. Give the APC 3 .50cal HMG's bound to primary, and 5HEMG's bound to secondary. -Ownage..
Actually that would be alot of fun. Someone could make that and we would actually have a map playable without a ton of people. The tactical squad based combat without targets would be fun for a change. Streets of fire would be a good map, also maybe homeland. Edit: The problem with jeeps is that you can just drive up and sticky the apc. Even with a 3 slot 50 cal blazing into the thing, you probly couldn't take them all out before they get in sticky range.
It sounds like fun, but would'nt it be very easy to grief? I guess it could work in an organised match, but public..?
it would be good but be apc seat2# would make it little unbalanced map could have very low ceiling to prevent than but then nf apc could hold 1 person more..
I'd be down for checking this out. May need custom maps, or utilization of existing custom maps as you would need maps with enough space that the apcs are not in constant danger of driving past the hiding place of infantry in close proximity as one scout/rifle could end the map np, but there needs to be enough geometry to hide behind to avoid a few rpgs ending the map in seconds too. It would be funny as hell too, I can picture alot of games:Awesome apc driver with diffuse pushes his team and drives like a pro, keeping in the blindspots of enemy turrets he mows down the enemy and victory is iminent. One super leet infantry jumps out onto enemy mines. Map change!
I think from now on every time something bothers me in empires, im just going to imagine doing that to a sniper scout and feel better.
You can easily use walls to stop jeeps. Streets of fire would be prefect, with a jeep spawner in the park near the bridge.
