Hey, just an idea here. As in the normal BF2 R a squad can make a FOB, MG nests, sandbag cover, etc. I was wondering if the viet cong could be able to make traps? Say, maybe something like a pit fall that is covered by leaves, or a tree fall trap with a trip wire that triggers a tree trunk or something, to fall from a tree and crush the unlucky G.I.

I think this would be a good idea and add to the realisticness of the game. My grandfather, a proud veteran, was a radio operator and he and his squad went onto a patrol. Along this patrol one of his friends triggered a trap that nearly killed him. Here are some pictures of these, and they were used at large by the Viet Cong.

And this one isnt really meant for war...more for bugs lol but you get the point I hope.

Thanks and try not to troll to much. I hate being screamed at by an overly enthusiastic person who seems they think they are always right, not like there are alot of people like that here

I know you could not make a "trap door" like thing because you can not change the terrain of the map from ingame.

im not sure about something moving like a tree limb falling, but i don't think the engine can handle that either, sorry. Not 100% sure though on this second one.

if it is possible though, it would alsoo need to have some miniture explosions in it to kill who it hits.

Well, I wasnt talking about a trap door, those are just some drawings from google that I found. Im talking more like some leaves onto of it that would disguise the fact that there is a pit fall. And you wouldnt necessarily need a trap door if you made it deep enough. The only way to get out might be from grapple/rope but I dont know if that will be issued with a kit. Or even if it was used.

Are random pits possible?

Theoretically. If you use the AAS/Cache Template as a starter I see no reason why not. However, if they are pits they would be static, and this would look different to surrounding terrain.

I remember the Punji stick of BF:V... like a grenade trap without the explosive effect. Personally that'd be enough for me. Having them 'built' might be interesting but why not just place them.

I just wanted to know if this is a good enough idea lol, my first suggestion I believe, anyhow any type of trap that would be put in the game Im looking forward too. It just adds more fun to the game itself.

Perhaps just a bunch of leaves and when someone steps on it it turns into some wooden sticks (just 2D, nothing pretty) and everytime someone steps on it, he gets hurt?
