How to make teamwork- By Jono

[Jono]

Right before i go on to state the idea i've got to say it has just come into my head and i have not actually thought about it and as i'm typing im beginning to see faults with it.

But me being me, i don't really care.

Right, listen up:

The Squad leader is the only one with the ability to cap.

Yep that's it.

Clever huh?

Oh you want more explanation? Ok

This would make it so the team would have to protect the leader and it would reduce if not abolish people running into cap zones spraying and praying killing most of their own team just to get ten points.
It does not end there!
If you're in the capzone when it is capped by the squad leader you get ten points because you have been helping "the war effort".

Discuss.

That might be an interesting way to go about it, but teams might still have problems with bad players who took that class and dont know what to do, and in some maps there might need to be more Squad Leader classes avaiable than there is now.

But I dont have much of an opinion beyond that, I'll have to think about it more. But this is making me think about modifided versions of this idea. I will post more thoughts later.

But even if majority is against this idea, I think it could be an excelent mutator to play, maybe more catered to realism clans and clan games.

AFK Squad Leader.

I liked this idea, it would make a great gameplay mode And for AFK leaders, kickvote and administration is the key

 

[Zetsumei]

I'm open for all different gamemodes but i think it should be an option for server admins. Not replace the default.

 

[Jokerman]

Good idea.
And to solve the afk/noob problem- just make 2 more higher rank soldiers: a sergant= 75% capping power. or somthin like that.
It would make the sniper's duty more tactical as he will have profound affect on the outcome by choosing to eliminate higher ranked soldiers.

That's two words and an acronym, which is itself a further three words.

As is, the sniper's only real use is to take out MG positions or enemy snipers, or keep watch over cap zones. That would actually be a pretty good idea.

 

[Jono]

Yep I'm pretty amazing huh?



Just kidding.

And i'm sure some measures could be introduced to counter AFK/Newbie Squad Leaders.

As far as I can see this would improve the squad leader's, sniper's and general teamwork's current state.

Teamwork? Why would I need teamwork when I can run around on my own and pwn with my PPSh?

This is absolutely very promising idea.

Because I've seen enough of those 'owning' and still loosing the map

You are way too cynical...

"Owning with the PPSh" is an oxymoron.

 

[SiC-Disaster]

so now more people will go immediately to the commander class cause they will get protection.
so now all else working together in a team and in the capzone, dont get rewarded for getting in and trying to cap.
so now you cant take multiple objectives at the same time. for example: stalingrad-kessel. Taking the North Railway, and then go to the other objective. upon reaching this, NR is allready taken back. repeat untill time over/reinfs gone.

i dont like this idea.

 

[Crusher]

I would like to see the pre 3.0 cap system back. Oh the tension there was to cap something.

"Need 3 at RT!!"
"omw"
"I need more people here damnit!!"

 

[Borat]

@sic-disaster

On those kinda maps maybe there could be 2 squad leader roles per side

@RedStorm

u r a l33t hax0r hoo cud n0t 0wn a ham5t3r (or something like that).

even still, any soldier in an area keeping it clear of enemy forces is basically 'capping' it IRL, thus this would be practically pretty 'gamey' too.

 

[RedGuardist]

I think, that ofcourse all should be able to cap.

But leader could be able to cap faster than normal grunts.

Or is it like that already?
