Couldn't find any previous post.

My suggestion is to create a system where you as a player is punished for destroying a building, this would serve as a replacement for the anger civilians feel when coalition forces destroy civi houses during firefights.
I think that it at the moment works pretty good in-game, there are not to many unnecessary house destructions, this would only serve as a reminder for the tank gunner or that AT guy to hold his trigger finger and really be sure the house is occupied by enemies.

So what about buildings that can't be destroyed? I have no good idea here. You could make every bullet fired at a building punishable, this way you don't have to destroy it for the system to take effect, making it even more important to aim your shots. This might on the other hand lead to a significant minus on the scoreboard.
A solution to this problem could be to make houses occupied by hostile forces nonpunishable when fired upon, but unoccupied still is.

Or this idea might not even be able to implement?

Give me your thoughts.

My initial reaction to this idea was basicly WTF?!

I see your point about civies getting pissed when an army blows the **** out of their home,but then again there are no civlians in the game (other then the civis that actually wage war...).

If i was to get punnished for every stray bullet i fire i think i would stop playing the game very fast, because right now the aim is not to conserve the buildings,but the strategic value of an area.

Imagine the gunner in the cobra on Muttrah...he would have an insane amount of negative score due to the difficultties of not beeing able to "snipe" with his cannon or hellfires!
Or an APC gunner shooting at a guy running for cover round a corner...
Or even a deployd MG on a roof covering a squads advance into a building.
Not to mention coveringfire...or CQB...or hydra strafe with the attack huey...or even throwing a nade inside a door to clear the room...ETC ETC ETC...

I dont think this is a very good idea,but i do agree on the fact that people need to aim their shots before emptying their mags in thin air.

the destruction of a building is a trigger, amirite? so it could also trigger a penalty? then it wouldnt be a problem for the indestructible ones...

I search punishment and found this on page two. The trick to searching is to type in words that are related to your suggestion. You are a proposing a punishment system, and thus punishment brought up a topic like yours. All and all, the search function takes a little time to get used to. Your topic has been suggested before and is still up and running. Feel free to add to the discussion in the above thread.
