In response to Redmonkey, nice idea but as a reason for them to have to activate something, you could say it is 'planting a beacon' that way the shield is down and it makes sense to be activating something in the generator. I would say the star destroyer bombardment weould make mroe sense than tie bombers.

u could use the Ion cannon for the rebel artillery and Tie Bombers for the imperial artillery

I agree with the high starting tickets + fast ticket bleed idea for hoth. It would force the gameplay to have a faster pace, and I think this would make Hoth much more fun. People would actually be trying to take echo base instead of just taking all the other points and then camping outside.

Also, since the shield generators protected Hoth from orbital bombardment, would it be possible to say, give the Imperials artillery after the shield generator is destroyed (Artillery = Orbital Star Destroyer Turbolasers). One way to do this might be to make the shield generator mesh initially covering/blocking the imperial artillery mesh/gizmo/something so that it can only be repaired (activated) once the generator has been destroyed. Provided that you can make the artillery gizmo initially spawn as being destroyed (unactivated). I think that this would make the shield generator a much more valuable asset to the rebels. In GC, I don't think it was ever really protected.

Forgotten 2 is and always will be a benchmark for BF2 and BF42 MOD TEAMS if we got close to the detail and authenticity of what they produce I am sure everyone would be happy.

WE ARE GETTING THERE !

If the other team is killing enough people to make a difference good for them, they probably deserve to make the tickets drop faster.

or alternatively

If the ticket starting tickets are high enough (1,000) and the bleed is fast enough (50 Tickets/min.)you wont even notice the kills. (game would last 20 minutes). Ie your team would have to kill 50 enemies to make the game go 1minute faster. *Now where did I put my n00b tube.*

This really is a quick fix it would be far better to have a timer on screen, or make destroying the sheild generator an objective. I don't know if this is possible, I'm a mapper not a codder.

Edit: I realised the max tickets was 1000 (all numbers edited acorddingly)

what happens if the opposing team with ticket bleeds get shot alot and die then there tickets will drain faster right?

the best way to simulate this owuld be ticket bleed as General Un-Co said but can the bf2 engine run scripts like diff-edge is saying?

There Has to be a way to win though.

IE The Rebels killing a suffecent amount of Imps or Holding out for a set amount of time would allow total evacuation or in other words a win. If the Imps capture all the bases or kill a large number of rebels then the rebels are only mildly successful at evacuateing and the Imps win.

The easiest way to create time limits is with ticket bleeds in the editor you can set the team to bleed (x) no of tikets a minute. So when the attackers run out of tickets they lose, so they must capture all control points to stop this. This requires no coding only a mapper and the BF2 editor.

To do that would require some heavy python programming if it is possible.

Yeah maybe if that alone could be given a timelimit....be its own style of gameplay. If Imperials don't get to Echo base in (x) amount of time then Rebels win because they, "escape" like the movie. SO you really just have to hold them off for a certain amount of time to win.

yeah in rebel base there need some flags

but the imperial flag cannot be captured (the very first flag)

We all know the rebels are defeated on Hoth and needed to escape, so maybe recreate this

the player who plays as rebel knows he has a very little chance to win the round, but when for some or other reason the rebels win the round, it is a big victory
