Topic: Assault lines game mode.&Kit pickups.

I really enjoy the assault lines mode on highway tampa in bf2142. I think the FS team should create an assault lines game mode. I think this mode would be a great experience for lots of close combat maps like endor strike team and tatooine mos espa.


I also think a good addon for the 1.2 update could be kit pickups. I love being able to pickup a dead foes kit so u dont have to stay the same kit until u die or suicide. This feature would be great for many reasons. For Ex. If an At-St is on urs or ur teammates tail, u mite be lucky and find a heavy weps kit on the ground.


Feel free to agree or disagree with me.

For those of us who bought BF 2142 just for FS and as such never played the actual game:

Conquest Assault – one of the sides defends itself, the second one attacks. Attackers must take every flags, this will decrease enemy’s ticket amount. Defenders have to control at least half of the spawn points and they have no uncapturable flag. Attackers have at least one such flag and start with more tickets than the defenders.

Assault Lines mode change one little thing – the main flag of the defenders can be captured by the attackers only if all other spawn points have been taken before.

A symbol of padlock appears near the main flag on the minimap. If it is locked, the control point cannot be captured. Analogically, when the padlock is unlocked, taking control of the spawn is possible.

Well, technically, Mos Espa is very much like this already, in that you need to capture every other control point to capture the Commercial District. But there's a map in testing that actually could benefit a lot from this system.

I like the padlock, though. Adding those to the control points on Mos Espa that can't be captured, or, even more importantly, those on Endor that can't be retaken, would make it easier for people to understand how to play the game modes (I actually had two people on Mos Espa today who tried to recapture the Junkyard after every control point, Comm. Dist. included, was in Imperial hands. Mildly frustrating for those of us who had died and just wanted the round to end tongue ).

I also think a good addon for the 1.2 update could be kit pickups. I love being able to pickup a dead foes kit so u dont have to stay the same kit until u die or suicide. This feature would be great for many reasons. For Ex. If an At-St is on urs or ur teammates tail, u mite be lucky and find a heavy weps kit on the ground.

I don't agree with picking up corpses' kits, or at least those of your enemies, but special kits would be awesome. However, regrettably this has been discussed and even argued over numerous times, and we supporters have failed to convince the devs that pick-up kits should be added. At the end of the day, they are the ones making the decisions.

So no, pickup kits won't be in FS until me an Ty get that minimod released tongue .

We need to start working on that.

thanks for the info about the pickups.

Re: Assault lines game mode.&Kit pickups.

i talked to imperial about the assault lines mode some time ago, the outcome was, that this mode is different from the conquest mode and would need further coding, but well, lets see how things work wink

Picking up flags to bring to your base...
Picking up a pilot kit to become a special character that has to be protected for you to win...
Picking stormtroopers' pockets...
Picking up girls...
Picking up your kids from school...
Picking up after your bantha...

The possibilities are endless big_smile !
