yes we need more rubbish !!! ,im talking about albasrah here when setting up and IED u ever notice how it sticks out so easy ???? well as the devs have the fields that draw at longer distances could we have some rocks and rubish piles and stuff that draws at distance so IEDs dont stick out to ppl comming , u find another way of hiding them please.

Woudn't that create more lag ?

Didnt Basra have loads of rubbish and whatnot back in v0.4, then it was removed due to lag?

Or am I imagineing things?

In .6 there is enough "rubbish" on the roads to cover even a anti-armor mine. I've had more successful IED attacks in .6 Al Basrah than in .5.

There are rocks on the road that can hide the IED's. I'm not sure if it depends on the Graphic Settings.

is there a way that the civis shovel could be used to dig holes where ieds could be placed and then covered up?

I don't think digging is possible.

they r rocks but there draw distantance is low , on low GFX they dispaear in like 10m

AFAIK, rubbish and rocks are undergrowth, just like BF2 grass, so it doesn't get drawn at a distance.

more rubbish on the main roads wont cause much lag - its an undergrowth texture.

The rocks and mines appear for me in my ***...er...about 2-3 m, usually just so I know, that Im gonna die for a moment, then it happens...

True, I still play on Low, altough my comp can handle High settings (as tested in SP), but Basrah is its own class, when it comes to performance...

Haven't played .6 yet but this is something i have always advocated...
Shrubs, along the roadside, more dips and potholes in the road, etc.

what an odd signature, especially in conjunction with what could be considered a homo-erotic avatar.

if the ied gets its own skin eventually we wont have to worry about this problem

it already does... it's not ingame though.


Edit: here we go

Maybe digging could be done like this. You throw down a mine then you use the shovel on the mine like you do with wrench to remove it. Which makes it invisible (or harder to see anyway). Should take like 20-30 seconds though imo so need to plan it in advance.

The draw distance on undergrowth(rocks, garbage, grass, etc) is set by mappers. The farther the draw distance, the more lag. There has to be a balance between realism and playability.

Hey I like that.

Hey an IED with cell phone! So I just call it to detonate itself?

That's how insurgents commonly do it in real life. Unless something doesn't go as planned

Now we just need another cell phone model to replace the detonator.
Imagine:
