Topic: ABC?

Moving on from locked vehicles - will ABC be in the mod?

I'm referring not to the book employed to help little children learn to read, but to the anti-griefing system used in some mods to keep enemies out of your base [see for example the FH School, Lesson 3,4]. "ABC" is an abbreviation for "Anti-Base Camping", and is a system that lets you close an area off so that it's out-of-bonds only to one team. If a person from that team enters the area, he will start losing health and, if he stays in the area, eventually die.

I think this'd be a great way to keep play even and the fighting out of the main bases.

Re: ABC?

I think it's not a very good idea, to say the least, but who knows.

If ever I don't think it'd be done like that though, but more like closed doors and force fields or something.

force fields would be good to prevent spawn camping.

But having a fight in the main base of the opposing team, with you're squad/team next to you is one of the better things in online shooters imo. However, spawn camping should be prevented at all cost.

Re: ABC?

I just hope this mod won't need ABC system. Battlefield series are all about freedom to go and do what ever you want. But, yes when there is this "freedom" it means someone is always using it for wrong purpose. sad

I vote for mature attitude! cool

And by the way I think there's one positive feature in Ranking. It keeps the most of the idiots playing vanilla. They are too greedy to stop gaining ranks. So we will have scorewhore/camper -free mod. smile

Re: ABC?

Just a reminder. We arnt making a Battlefield game. Sure there will be similarities but were aiming for a standalone teamwork-based game. We dont want it to be just a reskin of BF2142.

As for ABC . You'll probably find that near enough every map is different in the way its played. Some maps will involve 1 team assaulting a base etc . Due to the majority of maps having their own kind of gamemode , we havent really discussed ABC ..since the maps we have underway dont really call for such restrictions in that sense.

Does that mean you are going to stole our freedom and trap us to cage which is shaped like one-way pipe? sad

You don't have to be reskin of original, but you might still want to keep the things which are good in BF games? Of course we can argue to the end of world which really are the good things...

Well anyway "standalone teamwork-based game" sounds pretty good to my ears. Much better than "stand there and teamplay! Game" wink
