Armor in maps

TweedleDee · Post by **TweedleDee** » 2005-12-12 07:13

to all the people who keep saying no armor ingame...... make a map without any armor......

until then tough luck, get an anti tank kit, or lay some mines down. there is no way to enforce no armor. all u are doing is alienating people from playing prmm by flaming them when they play for the first time and jump in a tank.

if the map was meant for no armor there wouldnt be any armor in the map.

i understand how annoying it is to be killed by armor, but until some one takes the tanks out of the maps, just play the game and fight the tanks back.

I just finished making Strike At Karkand with no armor. Now I just need to rename it and we will have it up on the server. Then I will start on the rest.

I'm not really sure why people complain about the tanks at all. Sure, in vanilla, they are a pain in the ***, because who can get off 3 clean shots on a tank without being spotted. In PR, the rockets do so much more damage that tankers have to actually have infantry support to be truly effective.

Granted I haven't played online PRMM yet, but even in singleplayer, the tanks last about 30s before they get pounded by anti-tank rockets. I'll be able to comment more if my server gets going this week, so feel free to disregard my thoughts here at the moment.

Hmmm, I admit, having day2 and day3 style maps could be an easier way around the issue!

The only time I've played with no tank rules is when there's only a small handful of us playing. Otherwise it's no holds barred.

Spoken like a true man. People, stop crying.

Yep, I don't mind tanks around at all except when there are very few people playing. That said though I'd also like to see some armourless maps just for a difference. Variety is the spice of life.

Yep... But it would be even better if you guys got around the player limitation. You could make 64 different variants of the same map. Karkand 24p could be an infantry map with the same size of the 32p version but no vehicles.

But as it is now the stupid BF2 server tool defaults to only 16, 32 and 64 (or 128 if one hax it). You can make a 24 version and even add it to the maplist, but when loading it'll launch 32 instead, grrrr!!!

AH NICE! I was wondering if you could change the MEC forces to Insurgents as well.

I dont see why I couldnt, It would take a little more work. I would have to change the names of everything but I will try.

Ok Map is done. Its called Karkand_Strike__2. Now just to find a place to post it so everyone can download it.

yes Transport vehicles are still in it. I may add more later.

Rg · Post by Rg » 2005-12-13 00:25

If every client is going to have to download it, I don't think this will work. We have too few players as it is. If it's only server sided, it should work great.

DEDMON5811 · Post by **DEDMON5811** » 2005-12-13 00:27

No way to make it only server side. But it is only 1 map and i dont think people will mind downloading it.

Rg · Post by Rg » 2005-12-13 00:33

I wouldn't mind dl'ing it, but there are people that either are not going to want to or won't know about it. Then some people won't be able to play since there is usually only 1 server with people in it.
