How many times have you built a nice wall with one section in the middle low so you can shoot with cover, and then only to have another engineer come over and build that section ruining your spot. Well I suggest that as an Engineer you can lock your walls so that nobody could build them. Then if you want to finish building that wall at some point you simply unlock it and build it. I would like to see this as an option for engineers and their walls only, this doesn't include commander walls.
wow, dude, read my post again. I said walls UP. not gone. UP. as in built. as in not low. as in actually defending something. in response to arklansman.
arklansman, you cant always comm build walls. engineer walls arent affect by enemy buildings being nearby, comm walls are.
Perhaps being able to "upgrade" the walls (same process as upgrading turrents) to another wall where the middle section is gone so you can shoot through but not move through. As an alternative upgrade I think having a wall with a ladder on it would be useful. But perhaps thats going too far.
Then just repair them? The lock is a barrier that only allows "X" amount of health to be used inside.
This reminds me of something I wanted to add: Turret detonation button as in the engy makes a turret and then moves away but when he reaches his new destination and the comm wont place a turret he can detonate his old turret and make a new one at the new location, this could apply to walls too. with the wall limit it would be useful to be able to move to a new location and detonate your old walls to place a new wall at the new location??
i love remote recycling of turrets. the closest we have now is the com recycling engi built turrets, but if A: it is a com map and B: the com is observant/competent enough to recycle it for you, then e is able to drop new ones right where you need them.
not true. engie turrets can be critical when low on resources since they cost nothing but a bit of time.
