No, but an invisible object with a radius of death (identical to the .8 molotov actually, just bigger...maybe...), which times out is.

Round starts -> object spawns with certain kill radius within which anyone entering (on foot or in vehicle) dies very quickly -> X mins pass -> object times out (exactly how the all-team RPs do now), players are allowed out.

You won't get 'You are leaving the area', but you will die.

Or if you want to do it without deaths, invisible solid objects that cannot be driven or walked through, which time out.

is it possible to make a flag that take few minutes to capture, and around it dome of death?[i think its the same in the main bases in AAS, but i dont sure, usually dont make it in time/at all to check]

Bases have permanent DoD's at the moment in AAS. That's why the 'flag' is located so far from them; to allow the enemy to cap while not letting them in the base itself.

Isn't it possible to have an visible object. Like an gate who disappear after 30 sec fex

yea i like the idea but the engine is always drawing us back from our good ideas.

Maybe just making the Insurgents spawn closer to the opjectives and making the coalition spawn points further away?

I like the idea of the taliban, and insurgents getting a small head start. Well, everyone spawns at the same time. But the NATO are not let out of the base for X minutes (2 seems fine). This gets them time to prepare and organize as well. So now you have a fortified area from the taliban, and less of a cluster f**k in the base while people are running around everywhere.

OR delay BluFOR's rides for about a minute, meaning that they will hole up in the base, and that could guve time for squads to prepare, instead of truck-rush, and the INS can set themselves up without worrying about APC death fortress.
mainly for us pub players

I like the idea of not making any vehicles spawn after a "x time" in the US side.

Harrod your correct, you could place an object but new people could waste requestable kits by it and is not going to work.

You better have C4 to blow the gate otherwise its not moving. :p

this sounds like the best solution to me. surround the coalition base with invisible death objects that have a certain radius, with 2 minute count down timers. also give a warning message to the coalition at the beginning of the round so noobs dont run out and die.
