Allow spawn choice?

[Lonyo]

On some maps (Kaukasus specifically) it would be nice to be able to choose where you spawn (i.e. if you just capped BR you can choose to still spawn at the original spawn to attack mortar position, or if you have BR and mortar you can choose which to spawn at).
It would create possibly more variety as attackers could vary their attacks without spending a long time running from one spawn back to the original spawn and only then being able to attack.

 

[gonzman]

I agree.

 

[kapulA]

Agreed.

 

[Avron]

Since the mod days I support this feature. Brings more tactic into RO!

 

[Byte Me]

totally agree

 

[Murphy]

Why not.

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

This could only work on some maps like Kaukasus or Ogledow, some maps this wouldn't work right for, but I guess it could be up to the map maker to decide.

 

[lokidoki]

true. the maps i've been playing, choosing the spawn point would have not been usefull, but if it's usefull on other maps, why not?

 

[fOgGy]

Yep!!!! sure is a great idea and certainly would bring more tactics into the game but only on the maps that suit it. I just hope the devs know about this idea.

 

[Ecko]

I Agree

Obviously it would be an optional feature, like most others, as forcing things wouldn't always work on all maps, but where maps suited it or were designed for it, it could be appropriate.

 

[D3terioNation]

Agreed big time!!

Half of the point in taking an area in RO is to move your spawnpoints forward. Typically there's not really a need for choosing where you spawn.

Just because you can in BF2 doesn't mean you should in RO.

On Kaukasus it would give a choice of where forward was. You can either persue a forward route through BR -> Tower Ruin, or switch to Mortar -> Tower Ruin.
Still going forward, just via a different route... So (IMO and in others opinion) there can be a use for it, even though typically there is not a need.
I am not saying it would be useful for all maps, just specific instances.
There are some maps where there are not even moving spawn points at all. It just gives an extra option for mappers when they make maps, and for players when they play those maps.

Don't try and bring in BF2 to try and knock an idea when it has no relevance. And I don't even play BF2.

Sometimes its a PITA wanting to go to one location but you spawn 50 miles from it. This is especially true for Ogledow, if you randomly spawn as a german on the left side of the field, and you wanted to get to the hill, you are in for a good run, and sometimes the halftracks arn't there for you.

 

[Moz]

agree

This was an original feature on Onslaught maps for UT2004. Adding it wouldn't be stretching far from the engine's capabilities. Also it is a very useful tactical option to be able to spawn at particular areas when possible.

Maybe the commander could choose where people would spawn?

 

[Isaak Johnson]

Personally I wouldn't let a single commander choose for the whole team, as good of a suggestion as it is, you can allways get either an idiot commander who knows squat about what hes doing or you get a mean commander who chooses badly cause he wants to cause problems in the server.

Now to my more positive comment, I allways thought it would be interesting to spawn directly into transport vehicles at certain spawn points, where the ammount of necessary Halftracks spawn and then the troops spawn into them, ready to get moving to the battle.

And it would be nice to at least have a few choises in spawn points.

I agree
