A small suggestion for the next Inf

[[C22]-Acolyte]

Since vehicles will be added to the next version of Inf and I think there was some discussions that the vehicles won't contain any MBTs and since many of the vehicles seen so far have been German in origin so... Could we, pretty please have a WIESEL 1?

Baby tanks! Aww aren't they cute!

Who said they won't be in?

I like the idea of vehicles, but I would rather see vehicles as more of a device to encourage teamwork, rather than people to simply hop in and blast eachother way in a big arcade-fest.

This is an infantry sim, after all.

 

[Taque]

Who said anything about shooting with them? I was just gonna ram people ...

hahaha that is cute! Reminds me of the radio controlled Scorpion tank I used to have as a kid (pretty sure it was a replica of a real tank). Only 3 tonnes too, that's reallly light for a tank.

If the next INF has vehicles, I want to see a Segway. That'd be fun to shoot people off

As long as we get a helo to fly around I'll be happy, it's fun to pilot those things.

Correction: It's fun to fly the acrade simulated ones. Fly a real chopper, fly real high so when you have to bail out you have a long fall to curse yourself for not remembering a parachute ^_^

I hope most maps will have hills and obstacles to prevent vehicle movement. I hated that in UT2K4 and BF1942 you could stalk a pedestrian over a mountainside in any vehicle. I'd hate to see transport trucks go up 90 degree angles and still have INF marked as a "realistic" game.

 

[AlmostAlive]

Realism will still be part of the equation.

good, vehicle abuse should be kept to a minimum. Not like UT2K4 where vehicles=uber power

 

[Crowze]

I beg to differ there Zeus. For a 1 on 1, I'd much prefer to be on foot than in a vehicle. However, for getting around most Onslaught maps they're near essential.

Otherwise, what Domino said.

 

[chuckus]

WHOA! I had a GI Joe tank when I was a kid and it looked EXACTLY liketheweasel with the dual rocket launchers!!!

So that's where they got the design/.... kinda sucked since my brother had the cobra command base so I never really won...

If you are referring to the MBTs, then Beppo said in a thread once something that MBTs wouldn't be included and that the vehicles would only be limited to transport vehicles and not heavy armor. But that was when you guys were trying out UT2K4.

he was referring to the wiesel weaponcarrier

We need an Iltis so we can go blow ourself up on the land mines in RtK...

 

[NTKB]

Vehicles will be large moving targets... and with AT4s and the like in the mix... well you know. BTW question. How many players in a decent rig server can you play with HL2? Im wondering if we are gonna see 16 vs 16 or more INF games. Then vehicles could be slightly more feasable.

 

[Crowze]

Depends on what rig you mean. One of my regular servers the LooneyAsylum had to reduce they're player count from 40 to 32 because of lag, yet it's still laggy. Whether it's bandwidth or CPU I'm not sure, but either way it can't handle it.

there are landmines in RtK?

 

[sir_edmond]

what we really need in RtK is either flak or a portable SAM

 

[geogob]

Actually now, not in the map... but since the Canadian Iltis tend to blow up on mines on the real road to Kandahar, I thought it would be appropriate to add some to the map...

 

[Mercie]

Yea, I was planning on making a trailblaser with not back (pickup bed instead such that someone would drive, 3 passangers, and a person in back shooting... Yay!
