vehicle team lock

[|cyphelifeoftheparty]

when i first started play pr, my friend who had been playing for a while played with me. when i asked him how its realistic that you cant get in an enmy car from another team out in the field he said 'well your not gunna have the keys to a random car you just found in the middle of nowhere are you'

I dont know if its possible but i just thought say for example you shoot an insurgent off his bike or a driver out of his hmmwv, realisticly, the keys would still be there right? so why cant you just get in/on and drive away?

[[wow]titan]

because this is still a GAME

Well i get what your saying in the term of HUMMERS and smaller veichles. But tanks Aircrafts and APC probably have more sophisticated systems that you must train. So it would be unrealistic to be able for the other faction to "steal" it...


And as titan so eluquently put it.... its still a game.

[Cheditor]

Wicca he in no words mentioned APCs or anything else he was purely saying jeeps etc. I think they had to take it out because if an enemy wasnt in a jeep then everyone could see it on the map. Would give your position away if you had to jump out of a vehicle.

ok.. imagine this..

people like rushing towards your base, gunning everyone down and stealing your transport vehicles..

or

you just got yourself a nice little transport truck.. woops someone shoots you dead and the enemy now has another transport truck available while this game turns into a hiking sim for you..

well you should be able to take certain viechele such as humvees and jeeps. but it should be like when you jump in you have to wait 30 seconds to hijack the car and stuff

[DankE_SPB]

problem is if you make it available for both teams, both teams will be able to see them on whole map, so its better to lock them on 1 side

[John-117]

ah fair point but you shoudl be able to tinker with the cars. like cut some wire meaning that the car cant move until it is repaired

Resuggestion that got shot down, for a good reason.

weee its flying!
WHOSH!
BOOM!
Yep this will not work by all reasons and then some mentioned

[com_kieffer]

AS i recal the original reson for the teamlock on vehicles is simply that if both teams could access them then the vehicles would appear on the other teams minimap.

LOVE that idea. 30 secs to short-circuit the starter.

And ya'll dont come back with that "its unreal" thing. I've seen 13 yrs old kiddos do it in the ghetto.

This however should only work for civilian cars and transport trucks/jeeps.

Hummvees and other essential war machines always got a GPS beam or something like that on it.

this and this ^^ are the reason (or at least main reason) why the vehicles are team locked.

Very old ressugestion, and technically a lot of work for not much addition to the game play.

Locked.
