Player providing suppression fire should get Team +1 when the enemy gets killed

[[RO^CHINA]*gd1944]

Player providing suppression fire should get Team +1 when the enemy gets killed by a teammate, even though the suppression fire didn't hit the enemy.

This should give RO2's innovation a good use. Who do you think?

thats actually cool idea i love when being mg putting suppression fire out to help team be nice to get team points

+1

If you kicked in the suppression system by any means (i.e. not just MG's) and then a teammate finishes them you should get a Kill Assist and 1 team point.

Great idea!

My personnal problem about this idea is that I feel if you get +1 for suppressing an enemy, you should also get a well deserved -1 for suppressing your own teamates.
Which happens a lot.

That could be done. But only when your teammate gets killed while you suppressing him. And you didn't hit him, or you will get a team wound -1 or team kill.

Sounds like an excellent suggestion.

That's a great idea. This will make the teamwork become more important.

Good idea, but how do you actually detect, that a player has given suppressive fire? For extra credits, feel free to give mock-up code to make your point

Game already gives you extra team points for killing an enemy in the cap zone, should suffice really.

I think the game should be able to detect who provides the suppression fire, when the enemy's screen gets grey. Just as it can detect who hits the enemy, when he gets hit.

Something along the lines is needed to make machine gunning attractive. You currently miss out on 90% team points, so this would do at least something.

 

[Niklas]

sounds like BF3

 

[lods of emone]

Definitely, Battlefield 3 does this.

 

[Kirq]

Yup, good idea. I think, I saw suppression points on BF3 alpha vids.

 

[[RO^CHINA]*gd1944]

I didn't see BF3. They stole my idea!!!

You are the original......

common bf3 needs at least one unique game-play feature.

hmmmm
i'm not sure if it warrants a bonus

the act itself makes me feel immensely satisfied
knowing that some sad sap is cowering and ****ting his pants as my rounds hit the wall he's hiding behind

It's already extremely easy to get team points with group capping and killing in objectives

Not to mention the huge amount of points you get for resupplying an MG.. which is 1 button!
