Nah.  Disturbing would be hiding a building or a pickup object in every level which is a variation on a phallus.

Re: Cameras, in bf2142 engine are they real?

ok but seriously? Would it be too hard to make a couple panels you could walk by and see a sercurity camera? I think it would be really neat.

Man I forgot to check this today! But it really would be cool, and if you think about could have some really cool uses.

Re: Cameras, in bf2142 engine are they real?

It is easly done. Make the usable entity in command HQ
Make the trigger it uses where you want the camera to be situated, link that with a model, make it destructable and there you go.
They have had the option in every game since Duke Nukem 3D.
They also need to be destructable like in the Jail when chewie and Han blow up all of the sensors and cams. Then report in that everythng is doing ok.

Oh one more thing and I did this in Half Life when making maps,
Make a Cam / Gun turret [destructable].
You press the use item and can move the cam/turret!!

This way you can have some sort of local perimiter defence for when breaking through a corridoor.
Easly destructable though.

Oh wait 1 mroe thing pleease. tongue

In duke Nukem 3d you could go up to a terminala nd control a robot, LOOKED exactly the same as that small BLACK Mouse looking thing in the deathstar that Chewie growns at and gets scared and drives away.

Maybe we can have this sort of feature for placing laser mines, repairs or just recon?

Ok thx for letting me vent:P

p.s It seems strange but for a game that is now over 10 years old it seemed to have alot mroe features then most games released these days.

It even had jet packs.

So you mean to say that every single game uses the exact same engines and the exact same programming?

Those "cameras" you speak of are just huds and effects. AFAIK, the BF engine has no cameras, one of the coders would know for sure though.
