First two things for snipers...damn pussies, no! All fcking snipers want to be Leet these days...

And a ground trap...could be only done by making holes, when building the map and putting a special object over them, like a quad of leafs to hide the hole...not sure, thats what they have today....try EoD, they got pungi sticks there...

Sniper tree house? Sounds like a perfect 40mm nade magnet.

lol @ mantrap idea

it'd be quite easy to match & cover the terrain with something, & having the bottom of the pit with a 'death' material, only thing is making something break as you run over it.

I love the tree house ideas....like a hunting stand but up in a tree,,,good for snipers but you can be pinned in if you are found. Is there anyway to randomize object locations?

Post by **IronTaxi** » 2007-04-20 22:55

nah...dont think we can randomize locations on those kinds of objects BUT!!!

Yeah, you're right... Snipers should run in there, pistols drawn, shooting everyone up rambo syle...

Also, snipers should suck. So they're NOT leet

THAT makes sense...

The problem with tree houses and dug-outs is that we can all learn the map, so if I, for example, had a sniper kit, the first thing I'd do is to check those locations for enemy snipers, and so would everyone else if the cover was in their line of sight. What I mean is that tree houses and dug-outs are actually death traps for snipers. I'd rather opt for more bushes on some maps as those, in my opinion, are the best cover a sniper could get.
Besides, tree houses, dug outs and man traps are a bit World War 2-ish, don't you think?

This isn't Vietnam. Mantraps are absurd and against the Geneva convention, since its a painful, cruel way to die, and it can also harm civilians.

Within a week everyone would know the exact locations of the holes and sniping positions. If there is one thing i learnt from BF2 SF, Operation ghost town, DONT SNIPE FROM A TOWER.
Its like the N0ub sniper in saving private ryan who choses, not a high window with lots a neibourghing windows, but a church tower....NubBLes.

...mongol...

ZaZZo · Post by **ZaZZo** » 2007-04-21 18:59

I used to snipe from that tower in BF SF

but it isn't really sniping in vBF2 and exp packs, it's more like emptieng the clip to your targets leg or something with the SVD.

As Mong says, everyone would ken the exact positions

Post by **IronTaxi** » 2007-04-21 22:47

Yes and know...i can safely say that if well concealed they are very good fighting postions... the nice thing is that as our maps get bigger (adn they are)
there will me less adn less memorization of levels...so you are less liklely to know about every inch of the map...

ive mad e aspecial effort to make my new level as random as possible terrain wise..hopefully that will help to break up some of the repetitive stress syndrome that develops on maps...

Sounds like a perfect fit for insurgents! Give them a shovel item, so that they can dig a hole, and throw some IEDs inside. When a Marine walks over the hole, they can explode the IEDs, killing the marine in a gruesome manner! Perfect trap!

As an added bonus, give shovels to Marines and enable them to erect Hesco walls by shoveling sand inside.
