artillery

maximusoverkill · 21-07-2008, 12:50 AM

this may or may not have been discussed. so sorry in advance!

when your manning the artillery weapon on the attacking side. there always seems to be a fight with your own bloody team mates with manning it. many times have i been on the gun to be team killed so the guy can get the gun seat.

is there anyway to implement a patch to have that one person sitting on the gun team kill friendly? it would sort out alot of team issues right from the start of the map.

cheers

Just try to get on a server where I'm flying the chopper. Nobody ever takes the artillery then, really. And that's the only time I want somebody goes there, so he can remove some of the players, so I don't get shot by 11 enemy and one AA-gun at the same time.

Or just destroy the artillery, if somebody teamkills you for it. Problem solved and everybody can just get on with playing the game.

Yes this issue seems to be a problem i never use the arty i just got my medals and leave it to the rest to kill each other over it.

JesterFX · 21-07-2008, 12:37 PM

i have only used it once (i think) in the demo version. Cant be bothered to wait for the thing. Its cool to use, but how about a limited usage on it, say 4 shots, then a long rearming phase, you wouldnt get as many people waiting just to use it then.

djsy2008 · 21-07-2008, 01:21 PM

why dont they put spawn penaltys on tk's
accidental or not, make it so they have to wait for spawn (1min or so) i duno.. im sure they cud think of sumit lol

SpaceballsPlayer · 21-07-2008, 01:25 PM

personaly i think artillary should be changed a bit, you shouldnt be able to knock out the defending teams defences so easy, all maps the anti-aircraft,ant-tank and mounted guns are all in range of artillary at start of round which kind of makes them pointless.

I've never used it tbh. I find I get team killed a lot anyway; mostly by accident and rarely on purpose. I played with this ***** in my squad that killed me 5 times yesturday. He didn't like me arming the crates because he wanted the 30 points for it so he would kill me so he could do it; sometimes right by the crate and sometimes just when a crate was destroyed so I wouldn't run to the next crate. I left that game after the 5th team kill.

SpaceballsPlayer · 21-07-2008, 02:16 PM

people like that i just stick on avoid list as game behaviour , not that it probably matters

AIrdrop · 21-07-2008, 06:21 PM

Only time is use the arty is when ive snuck into the attackers base on harvest day as spec ops after our first base had fallen. Kill the dude with a knife, jump on, wait 30 seconds then fire randomly at base 2 to get his attention jump off and hide, he comes back gets straight back on, gets a knife in the back before he can fire his first salvo, i think this cant possibly work again so fire it, plant c4 opn it and run as far into the woods on the left as pos, wach him trudge back on foot and have a real good look around the gun for me, even firing into bushes , gets on the gun, i did let him fire this time befor blowing the c4. ( In hindsight that last barrage killed one of my team and two of his so maybe i shoulda let him carry on)

Wakobro · 21-07-2008, 07:23 PM

i only use it wen im bored and am dyin loads wen i go to destroy the bases but i normally destroy it at the start anyway so theres no arguments, i once played with this guy who just sat by the arty and TK'd anyone who got on it and he neva got on it

PatShillings · 23-07-2008, 09:42 AM

Meh..i'll use it when no-one wants to - as your such an easy target...

Just when someone does use it they should target strategically - tanks, gun placements, AA guns etc and not some random sniper mile away from the action...

rooney da best · 24-07-2008, 11:20 AM

i have never had the chance to use it, since someone else usually hogs it the whole game, its really annoying

know what you mean mate, at least you didnt team kill them

when peeps do that it does my head in

ps. loving your user name

rooney da best · 24-07-2008, 11:30 AM

yeah, i have had the urge to though, especially when they are picking up like 400+ points by doing nothing all game, just sitting in a chair firing off un answered shots

you are right, easy points. what makes me laugh you normaly see other peeps queing next to the gun waiting for their turn

rooney da best · 24-07-2008, 11:40 AM

i think there should be some sort of limit tbh, whether that be shots fired/kills/time limit, i dont know, but it would make it better, because you can win the round with a few nicely timed shots, its not really fair on the defenders, and it is not fair on the team mates of the hogger either

Wakobro · 24-07-2008, 12:30 PM

just ram it with a tank it counts as them commiting suicide
