Fake target or helmet trick

[PETERPANs]

You know that helm trick on stick to attract enemy snipers or infantry. Its simple just take your helm, grab near stick and put your helm on it, than go to window or edge of wall, after that show your helmet to atract firepower of your enemy. Revealed positions of enemy will help your sniper or sharpshooting rifleman to wipe them out by some shots.

There is lot of examles how to make fake target:
1. dressed figurine or wooden cross equiped with weapon (demaged or not)
2. ...

Hey Peter, i think Wendy is looking for you in NeverNeverLand, better go see what she wants eh?

 

[GaGrin]

Given the cover-system means we should be able to hide and peek effectively, I think this would be a pretty neat idea

No idea how it would work in practice (and I could see it back-firing if the sniper realises what you're doing) but fun non-the-less.

 

[Zetsumei]

I think it could be pretty interesting but due to ability for over abuse of it. I would prefer if it would be implemented that it would only to be available to snipers.

Although if the ability is know its effect is lessened as well.

 

[LemoN]

dont do that when not behind verry solid cover

 

[LogisticEarth]

I don't know, it seems a bit gimmicky to me. Especially if they have any kind of death messages, it would be pointless.

Having it for only snipers kinda kills the point of it. I don't think it'd be overused because:

- You'd be exposing your head.

- You'd have to take the time to find a stick and put your helmet on it (this could be a simple programmed delay)

- You'll f' up your helmet.


IDK, it'd be neat.

it would be overused as in people running with their helmet on sticks just for fun.

You could make it were officers and snipers are the only one's able to do it, being the closest thing to a spotter (officer is an FO, sniper has a scope) RO has.

I'd assume, on average, that it would be better for your average joe-blo to either just peek, peek and shoot, just shoot or throw a grenade then to pop his helmet off.







That, or make it to where anyone within a certain proximity of the sniper (like 5m) is able to do it, specifically to help the sniper.

 

[Napoleon Blownapart]

that last bit would backfire... ppl would see the helmet... not take the shot and search for the sniper near by.... kinda like in Enemy at the Gates

 

[-[SiN]-bswearer]

well, it would be cool......just not in multplayer. perhaps as a mission in during the single player campaign or something yes, but in the multiplayer action, nobody would ever really use it.

 

[Zennousha]

It'd work until Snipers got smart and started picking through the walls instead, which would probably be a few hours into the game with the mass use it'd get.

Yup, thats me! lol. I think a "spotter" class should be employed to be used with the sniper class. And that those two classes should be allowed to use the decoys.

So we shoot them. This is war. You can tell that players shoul run around only with bayonets. Its same.

Or dont cross higway, because car can smash you.

 

[Zetsumei]

So you shoot them and they respawn and do it again, thats the issue. People dont care to die, so they dont mind to do some silly things.

Your example is not acceptable. I can tell that players throw their weapons away and run to enemy unarmed. Its silly.

 

[The Masta]

Your example is not acceptable.

He's right though.
