Re: Homing beacons are awesome

I usually use the beacon for close-by security but I also use them for vehicles. I wish they did last a bit longer, though.

Actually we laughed when we heard about that in the booster pack as we'd already implimented these last december (they were about the 8th thing to go into the mod after a half dozen rifles and a couple grenades)

That may be so but the vehicle becon was already in from the begining and was probly simple to simi simple to change it to view people and vehicles.

I'm not sure if homing beacons should have radars, to be honest. Weren't they only used to track things? I realize there's a gameplay element involved, though.

Re: Homing beacons are awesome

Thats what they do though tongue

Track things, and things in a small radius around that thing.

That gives me an idea, what if a class was givin homing beacons for rockets?

You run up to a vehicle, plant it, and rockets fired nearby would track the beacon.

To balance, make the beacon destructible so you only get 1-2 uses out of it.
