Stealing

stealing the other team vec would be fun and it would give them a taste of there own firepower

 

Yes! Give the Scout a new (unlockable) ability to jack the enemy ride (except the CV or course). It would function like the Engineer's calculator - a red healthbar counting down while the Scout holds down his Use key.

 

I agree that you can steal your enemies vehicles, if you manage to lure out the enemy out of his tank and kill him, why have this tank just standing there with no one being able to use it. Would seem to make more sense if the person got in the recently disabled tank and use it to good not just have it standing there untill someone wants an extra rank point or 300 seconds is up. Hijacking shoudn't be a skill anyone should be able to get inside an enemy vehicle as long as theres no enemy inside so theres also no enemy in your apc hitching a free ride. That would also probably mean that ff has to be on with vehicles or at least ownership changing as soon as you get in.

 

There will be no vehicle stealing. It makes the game too chaotic.

 

How about disabling then? If they leave it somewhere, you should be able to sabotage it (as long as it is empty) so that they cannot use it? Oooh, or even better, make it into a tank bomb :D Would need to take a while to set up though.

 

THANK you lettuce.

 

It woudl be nice if scouts could at least steal jeeps to make a getaway with a timer of course of maybe 45 to 60 seconds so that you can't just run up and steal an engineers jeep. You can only hotwire it if he isn't paying attention or is dead.

I do not see why it would make the game too chaotic or why such chaos would necessarily be a bad thing. A little bit of chaos in the game can be entertaining.

 

haha I'd like to see a disabling ability to take the treads/wheels off of a tank and leave it on cinderblocks



NI*GA WHO JACKED MAH RIMZ!!!!

 

Wouldn't be chaotic if stealing took time like dismantling (although not as long).

After all, it's not like the vehicle was being used by anyone when you steal it.

 

yeh but the enemy wouldnt know if theres a friend in the tank or not, making him go wtf when he gets killed by his teams tank, would be more effective than going scout for infiltration

 

Only if the stolen items can be later traded for resources in Liverpool.

 

I think i introduced this topic in the old forums, I am still in favour of it. stealing tanks only makes sense, kinda like in Star Wars battlefront, those stolen tanks really helped with infiltration

 

COnsidering that scouts would be the ones stealing the vehicles, it wouldn't be more useful than scouts because you would be a scout to do the job.

If we're worried about stolen tanks blowing up the enemy, maybe make it so the hotwiring kills their weapons systems. Then a scout can use them as transport but not a weapon.

We shoudl at least be able to steal people's jeeps in a certain time frame.

 

i dont think we need to consider the scouts as the only class capable of stealing vehicals. we can think of it as stealing, or we can think of it as driving, anyone can drive

 

The reason I picked scouts is that it would aid them in recon and it seems like something they might do. They would be more likely to hotwire something in hte field to make a quick getaway, especially jeeps. Plus, if they sneak into your base, the worst they are going to do is surveillance and possibly kill a few men.

 

We'll making you able to get names and such when you are in tanks of other tanks would be good. cause right now I can't look at whose driving the tank that is in front of mine. That would solve some of the issues with that. Or they could make the tanks you steal maybe have a built in beacon or something that just shows its now an enemy tank.

 

You could make a stolen tank show up red on the minimap for starters. Maybe the stolen tank could even turn in to the team's color, like an NF heavy tank turning a slight shade of blue. Or, when stolen, a tank bears the owner's flag on a pole. These ideas might ruin the whole catch them by surprise thing, though.

 

thats fine, change colours, im okay with that, i just want it to happen. those are little things that can be tweaked later. I dont see how this makes the game too chaotic. if you could explain a little further L3tuc3, Im sure its possible to make this work into the gameplay. I think it would stop tank spamming, at least, when random grens build a tank and rush it into an enemy base only to jump out and get killed. how is it chaotic to steal that tank? If it messes with vehicle limits, then have the stealing team scrap one of their worst tanks.

 

ohh look we have a mod called HIJACK. all servers must have this.

necro, whats that?

 

Ban Viro!!!! ;d
