Level Design Mappers ahoy!

[Drude]

Please do not make those stupid "minefields" in visible areas of map.

I think that feature should be used only in areas that shouldn't be accessible.

Its just so lame that normal flanking of the battlefield kills you in magical minefield.

 

[FuSiOn]

they are also used for spawn protection

Yes, I noticed - which sucks also... I'd rather prefer spawn(s) that are one-way only, farther from prime battlefield.

 

[Llama]

In the mod there was often a steap slope protecting your spawn, but that wasnt the best really. If you want it changed give people some suggestions!

If you're seeing those "stupid" minefields, then you're either A) trying to spawncamp or B) wandering off the edge of the map. They're there for a reason.

 

[DeV]

Well said Wicked. Those minefields are there to keep you out of those spaces..

 

[worluk]

beside you get warnings, so dont complain if you get blown up there

 

[[TW]DrGuppy]

An audio cue would be greatly appreicated though. Every day I see Germans on Konigs Platz take the Tiger and drive into the minefield. They do have their purpose in RO:O and for the most part I like how they're used.

Get rid of them

The warnings dont work -- even if you turn around immediatley and go back they still explode, as if on a timer... They wreck the gameplay. Use visual cues in the map, like fences, rocks, terrain, etc. to block the areas off.

 

[DeV]

Crazy enough, if I turn around immediatly I don't get blown up. You get blown up right after the third warning and to get that you'd have to wander off quite far..

A) As I said, spawns should be ASIDE from the battlefield, not in middle of them.
And what's best, if they are somehow not easy to access from "outside".
Magical minefield is just unrealistic and stupid.

b) I would rather prefer impassable terrain or invisible wall than magical minefield that blows you up just breathing the air on it.

In pure infantry maps, block all areas that "aren't battlefield" and only make minefield to places that should not be accessible.

For an example: Arad is terribly limited with area of movement, it almost impossible to flank enemy without being noticed.

bs. if you drive with full speed accidently to "danger zone" there is no time to turn back.

I dont care of the minefeilds myself i thought when they added it to the beta it really took me out of the game. I know why they are there but i am sure there is a better solution then mining the entire spawn\playfield.

Every map has a certain flow. For that flow you need to block certain area's
The most realistic way of doing this is by placing minefields...

There were real minefields in ww2 and not so many ramps where people could walk over from 1 direction. Or huge piles of rubble so you couldnt drop off the world. (although canada is). I experimented with different ways of blocking, like a wooden fence but somehow people always want to get over it to see where the world ends (i can tell you... its a few kilometer north from canada)
And how many tweaks you make, people will find a way to jump over it and get somehow under the terrainmap shooting everyone who walks over their head.

flow?

Minefields would be ok if! breathing the air of it wouldnt kill you.

I killed my self once when I jumped off the German spawn slope thingy of rubbel on Konigsberg. Now that is my least favorite mod map...

 

[Formaldehyde]

"Minen" (and the Cyrilic version)signs marking the edges of the minefields wouldn't be a bad thing.
