Title: CIty in the tank town
Post by: Debrody on February 28, 2011, 11:45:33 AM
We have this beautiful city, but we cant play the ground war in it. Several maps have a tank town. What about putting a neutral city to the middle of the tank town, just like in the ndisles map? I know im a retarded tanker but i still think it would be fun,  something Stalingrad feeling.

Its just an idea. Critics, opinions are welcome. Flame suit on.

I'm not a GV guy, but this actually might be fun.

[shameless plug]

I submitted a small AvA terrain and am awaiting approval from HTC for it to go live.  It has double-spawns near a city section for GV action.  The city is not destroyable, but should (if it works) prove to be a fun playground for GV'ers.

only 2 wishes of mine that could be considered even close to "spamming" would be the 105mm sherman. and the focke archigelis. which nether one of those wishes ive ever changed someones quote to  like others have. and both i dont endlessly post in over and over. (ive only made 1 wish thread for both).


i'd rather not get into an argument with you bar. but are you really the right person to be pointing the spam finger at ppl with all the m18 requests youve made spamming multiple topics?

This sounds awesome, make an tank town map where its a giant town where you spawn randomly on the outside of the town.

Yeah I threw that idea out there a couple months ago and was gonna try doing a map for it but between work, MBA classes, and a 2 y/o, it ain't happening.  :bhead :salute

If you can't spawn camp or snipe from 6k away no one will go there.

What you really want is a big, flat fielt with three spawns right on top of each other.

On Trinity there are some massive cities IIRC. Just never gets used anymore, the concept of TT is kind of dead and buried. :(

i think i remember someone saying the reason why TT died on trinity was because they moved the spawnpoints back away from that little town to try to prevent spawn camping, but in doing so noone went to TT anymore, just simply bipassed it.

Not all that familiar with Trinity map, but gawd forbid you have to drive for a minute or two in a GV.  Spawncamping ain't fighting...just sayin'.

one of the main reasons i dont gv anymore.

used to love it, had over 300 perks from it.

but then it just suddenly turned to crap.


if its a large scale battle, everyone just camps and snipes eachother. noone really tries to advance unless they have air support.


and if its a small battle. the defenders will just camp the spawn points till the attackers get tired of it.

i lost over 136 perkies from being spawned killed. after that i gave up on gv'ing.

As long as the spawnpoints are random actually IN town
Title: Re: CIty in the tank town
Post by: ImADot on March 02, 2011, 07:51:43 PM
Can't be IN town.  The spawn area is a circle inside which you can spawn anywhere.  If it's in the town, you could spawn ontop of a building or somewhere that you won't be able to move.

Hmmm, maybe I'll test that theory; with the new updates/patches maybe they've fixed that...  :headscratch:

EDIT:
Initial quick test appears to spawn Ok.  I moved a spawn point to be inside the town, and spawned in several places - but didn't spawn on or near any buildings.

Can you point the spawn in the town, and let the tank spawn randomly where there are no enemies around, somewhat like black ops?

Spawns, and those that camp........ are just fine.

Looks like it might work.  I put the spawn point inside the town for my test.  The spawn circle has a few coded spots where you actually spawn; it's not always the same spot, but rather any one of three or four within the circle.  You can't choose where, and it doesn't matter if the enemy is there or not; I've seen someone spawn within spitting distance of an enemy GV before.

thats what i want avoided. If you spawn near an enemy gv, then either you or the other gv willl die right away. If that is avoided, then the fight will be more fun and a little bit more long lasting.

How big is the spawn point radius?
Title: Re: CIty in the tank town
Post by: ImADot on March 02, 2011, 08:24:09 PM
How big is the spawn point radius?

Radius looks to be .25 mile.

I placed my spawns where I did so you can't spawn near another spawn point and have to drive about a mile to get to the town.  Can't help it if someone drives over and sets up camp at your spawn area.
Title: Re: CIty in the tank town
Post by: jolly22 on March 02, 2011, 08:29:28 PM
is it possible in the settings anywhere to change the radius size to make it like 3 miles? That would make a fantastic fight.
