Can we have our hills back?
« on: December 21, 2009, 01:28:28 PM »
What happened to all the little hills and valleys on the ground in the last terrain? They were GREAT for gvs, you could use em for vantage points, ambushes,and extreme air in m8s. :D
GVing really isn't the same without the hills and old trees anymore, you can see everyone coming when they up, but you cant shoot em because the trees are in the way, not to mention they have nothing to get behind for cover or camo like hills!  I believe a lot of GVers will agree with me on this issue, so can you give us back our hills please?  :pray

Which terrain? There are differences between maps you know.

Yes I know there are differences, but there are no hills on any of them now.  I'm not talking about the mountains and large hills, I'm talking about the little ones we used to have.

Back before the last overhaul there were those triangular hills that we used to use for cover in Tank Town...nowadays you are hopeless.

I am ambivalent one way or the other about bringing them back. I GV a lot, and actually enjoy the lack of cover we have now.  It creates some great run and gun GV fights.  Camping is limited a bit, because it is harder to find a good hull down position.  You can find good hiding spots, but not a lot of cover.

What he said  :aok
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

I've been having fun putting my tank in 4th gear and shooting on the run...sitting in one spot makes you a target, just like a sniper would be only...you're bigger and you fire tracers.

The hill objects still exist in the terrain editor.  All it would take is HTC to put the back onto the default terrain tiles.  I really can't figure out why they were taken out.  Took a lot away from the ground war experience IMO.

Also a +1 to OP. Bring back hills as it has really made gv'n less fun IMO.

I can agree where it encourages the run and less camping, but it also leaves NO cover for those long range campers.
