Project Reality Forums

I just stop playing one of my worst Al basrah rounds ever. I was in the insurgent team and there where 2 idiots who persisted in destroying all the spawncars (jihad style). This made me come up with an idea!

Why dont we have spawncars to only be driven by war veterans and squadleader/specops kits (or just some kit without any IED or C4)! All the other kits wont budge the car and you will die after siting there for 10 secs, just like the tanks and aircraft. This will make the spawncars less misused.

I chose War veteran and Specops because the spawning in the cars are a metaphor for the leaders to choose point of attack and such. And Spec ops represent leaders and veterans have the know-how.

That would rock! But alot of people on basrah spawn as insurgent and it would be better if you get a penalty for destroying a spawn car(Maybe 20 negative points?) Also some people have a hard time designating the spawn car from jihad car(Too stupid to look in the back seat i presume) So i think they should make it a different color like red or something.

You already get a hefty point penalty for destroying a spawncar. But that dont help one bit. Maybe one minute respawn extra time?

That would be good too i just dont know how they can implement it without screwing up the other spawn times?

What pisses me off is when Facility is gone and Mosque is going/gone and there's a whole squad up at north bridge, along with 'their' spawn car (despite there only being a couple left in the city, where they're needed), doing effectively nothing for the team.

Not looking at anyone in particular *cough Mr.D*

Its a great idea but lets say idiot1 is a war vet, and idiot2 is an insurgent. idiot1 and two get mad cuz they cant get juhad car, so they team up and while idiot1 drives, idiot two sits in the moon roof and blows the charge.

Make it bad ticket bleed to destroy every spawn car. And if other kits than mentioned goes in and cant drive what can happen?

**QM* You need the "......" kit to be able to drive in this vehicle" just like when spawning in APC on seat 1 or 2. >???

And mentioned above if someone drive 2nd seat detonates?

Everything is about metaphors in this mod... Where are the similes, personification, and hyperboles? Anyway, it's probably to late to implement that idea for 0.6, isn't it?

I think a better idea would be to utilize the kit request system, and maybe have some sort of "driver kit" for the Insurgents. You can request it right next to the spawn car, but this way there would be less "noobs" driving it around. For reality purposes we can say the driver kit is the guy with the keys or something

I'd suggest making it so using a spawn car to Jihad should cause your mouse your short out and shock you. And every time you do it, the amperage doubles so after four times, your mouse starts to kill you. That'd solve it!
But, too bad I don't think the BF2 engine can handle it, hard coded not to let that happen, right?

I know, an IQ test as a password in the installer for Project Reality!

"I'm not saying stupidity should be a crime, but lets take the warning and safety labels off stuff and let the problem solve it self."

hyperboles
I specialize in those


But a limited kit for the spawn car or even just a non C- 4 kit would go a long way to preserving the car.

Where the ins team screaming ALLAH AKBAR nd stuff like that on teamtalk, voip?
If yes, I was there. My squadleader, Kb_mor or something like that, was the one who used spawncars as jihad cars. Yes, It was a annoying not to able to spawn but fun as hell. You should have heared the chanting on our voip.
some of the best moments I`ve had on Basrah.

what about only Civ's can drive it...

on TG there was this squad that called it self suicide... they pasted C4 on all the spawn cars and drove em into battle! GOSH THAT SUCKED!

Thumbs up..

Seriously, add this to the 0.6 installer..just a simple IQ quiz, see how many smacktards will solve it...

And remove the second position from the spawn car...that would work...but then the USMC/GB would get punished for destroying spawn cars

I think that the spawn cars should have limited fuel and thus cutting down the distance smacktards can drive them

Personally I'd just restrict the player from using any C4/IED class for 5-10 minutes if they've jihaded a spawn car.
Waiting for the hardcoded ****.

There is a feature in place for the next build that will lessen some of the this sort of behaviour. Don't ask what it is, don't sit here and speculate, just know that it will lessen smacktards high on whatever constantly spawning and wasting spawn cars for fun.

Can't stop them driving the vehicles into the middle of enemy or leaving it stranded where the enemy can shoot it though.

Servers that aren't being admined do need to have vote kicking on though really imo, so the rest of the side can remove them from the server. Maybe TBs 24/7 al basrah needs more euro evening admin time!
