50+ matches? :D
this gives me another question though...
with 10 players on 1 side, it still often happens they you see 3 engineers repairing 1 tank, which i still think is reasonable. but with 25 players on 1 side (which is a LOOOT for many multiplayer FPS games), this would result in 5 or more engineers repairing 1 tank, making it nearly impossible to deal more damage then is being repaired...
so this is my suggestion: (don't send me hatemails )
LIMIT (!) the ammo of the repair beam to 1998=999x2 ''bullets'' with a rate of fire of 10 bullets per second, and if my calculations are right (999x2÷(60×10=600)) is 3,33 mintutes of action, which makes 1,67 minutes per mag, which i still think which is a lot compared with an engineer's average lifespan of about 3 minutes max...
OR reduce the effectiveness of the repair beam by 10-15%... whichever is the best, i suppose.
don't hate me now
P.S. i always was wondering how engineer bots in C&C renegade singleplayer were able to fire red beams which inficts damage to units... did you have to press a combination of buttons for this, or is this impossible to do yourself? somebody please help
