Basrah Edge

Post by Nightstalker »

Is there any way that the shilka could be modded OUT of this map ... It annoys the hell outta me that it is used for nothing more than a flag camping vehicle. Red allready has a way to take out the helos with stingers and if you are good enough the RPG so there is no need for AA. I think as a whole Edge is an infantry map and the armor has a great tendency to ruin the map ... granted I know blue and or red if blue steals the shilka has the means to take it out but I have made the comment I hate the armor on that map and many have agreed. Just a thought and let me know what yall think. I know some will disagree as they like using the armor as it is great for KDR but for the gameplay ... Uhh no.

My apathy dictates that I don't care.

I have never seen a single map that was modded by Dangle.

Perhaps Spec has been shielding me from the horror.

Have these "mods" been tested on a production server?

I remember the shilka was gone but it still needed some work. We tested it on a private server a few months back and it didnt crash the server or cause my computer to blow up. I don't remember what I did with that file but Dangle should have it still.

No Rook ... as stated I have been saying that for a while. Yesterday was just the straw that broke the camels back. Some people do nothing but sit and camp with that thing and well you have allready read my comments on the previous post. I hate the armor on that map. And I don't expect this to be changed just because I don't like it. I have an esc button just like everyone else. But like I said there are many that agree so some consideration should be given I think. Beaver Al Nas will probably be a no go as I know Swanny hates the map and a few other are not a fan. I don't mind which map as long as its not a camp fest with armor the majority of the map.

Several of the maps can become camp fests, especially as flags held dwindle. Many of you have seen/heard me whinge about this especially on Bulge. But really, camp fests are player driven. Not armor driven. Not map driven. Take away the Shilka, they will use the BMP. Take away all armor, they will use SAW/PK.

I don't mean any of this as criticism to you Nightstalker or others expressing similar and genuine frustration. It's just my observation that inflating stats often trumps sportsmanship (its a game about warfare, not warfare) for a fairly predicable group of characters.

I don't have a problem with leaving artillery the way it is. Going after a shilka that is protecting flags or air is a challenge and makes it fun imoho. But what I have a problem with is...

1) red shilka base camping blue main (obviously it is illegal)
2) blue players having the advantage of using helos to fly over red main base, bail, and steal artillery

In the past two/three Basrah maps, I've seen blue having possession of Bradley, BMP, and Shilka. Now that pretty much ruins the game.

So another mod you all might want to consider is adding death bubbles 'cause I don't think there is one. And if that still doesn't address this issue kick up the death bubble timer a notch.

How so? In Basrah, you don't need to be inside their base to snipe. In fact, it wouldn't be too smart to do so in my opinion... just too obvious.

the idea of a death bubble for edge was brought up along time ago (i was one of a few in favor of it), but nothing more had been said since....i still feel it would cut down on alot of annoying issues, such as people entering the main to steal stuff (happens on both sides) but you always get that sneaky asshole who kills a few people in the process.

i dont see it affecting snipers though.....and as i understand (again from a previous post) snipers arent allowed to enter the mains, to pick people off.

i only have a problem with the shilka camping blue main...other wise its no big deal for me.

if there was any changes to it i would make, it would be death bubles for both mains, and leave nothing but the trucks, hummers and ladas to get around in......

This is what I can't stand. it's allowed but really ruins the game and the realism. About as bad as pixel camping a main. Poor sportsmanship IMO.

my idea for death buble would be, just so its big enough to protect just infront of those concrete barriers at blues main, and then the same equal size for red......big enough to prevent people entering....not that big it would affect regular game play.

the main issue with edge (day time version), theres no cover protection for blue...red has the tunnel...blue is open to all kinds of base raping and smartasses trying to defend their actions by saying 'he fired first'....

is it possible, to convert the day time edge into a ctf as well ?! and do away, or have it as alternative to being a conquest map......it would solve all problems in one hit :) (just an idea tho )

i know that stealing vehicles is allowed and on some maps it works out ok.....i just feel its those maps where people can just walk in and take stuff, that it gets out of hand and adds more pressure on the admins, trying to determine who shot who first etc etc etc etc......etc etc etc etc............etc etc etc etc...oh ffs dem stop :oops: k im sleepy...........................................etc

my mod of basrahs edge is, i took out shilka, added t72, took out lil helo in blue added abram. i gave each side 2 bradleys and 2 tanks. i left in one helo but can be modded out. i thought that might be alil interesting having tanks, give it more of a real deal thing. take out helos the stingers would be useless. i wanted to add a 50 cal, but still up for decision. If yall have any ideas on the map to add or to delete, let me kno and ill try to do so. me and spec can test it out to see how it works. and that goes for other maps also, i modded a no fly zone with just tanks and helos. be interesting how it would play out. let me kno. =)

I agree with Payne on this one - I'd be down for main bubbles or taking out the armor and helos - either way.

As for people (like me) who like armor way more than infantry maps ... we can always come back for the next round.
