Abusing C4 & Airstrike

Yeah, this did just happen, I was there. To be fair, c4 friendly fire would be terrible, and airstrikes weren't very effective. The worst part about that islands, is both teams having 3 vehicles and 3 mobiuses dedicated to camping. It was less about flaming infantry/vehicles, and more about neither team attacking with more than 1/4th their team and both teams defending with over half their team.

Base to Base is against the rules, which includes airstrikes, kick them or ask for a mod.

Base to base is more of a level design problem. I'm not sure if I've heard of anybody actually getting kicked for it unless they do it repeatedly.

Because the airstrike has a certain range to deploy, as mappers we can't prevent players from doing a b2b airstrike. It would mean that we would completely have to shut off every line of sight to the enemy base (+50 meters or so) so every level would become quite... miserable.

I think its best to call in a moderator in such circumstances.

[Agent]

Yet most levels don't have any base to base issues what-so-ever.

But yeah, you can call in a moderator if it's against a server's rules. From what I can tell neither CT nor MPF have rules specifically against base to base posted anywhere, though one can argue that it's a level specific exploit. Again, it's mostly a level design issue and should be handled by fixing it in the level itself, rather than moderating it at the server level.

..... I b2b on Complex all of the time >_> 

 

Flaming infantry is a weird gray area of being 'creative'... and annoyingly broken. It's the only reason it hasn't really been tampered with

 

I honestly think remote C4 should be able to be shot and blown up honestly. The explosion going to whomever killed it. Would solve a lot of issues with flaming vehicles/infantry. 

 

[Agent]

That could open people up to team hampering more, as a malicious player could just toss remote c4 onto friendly vehicles.

It would be relatively easy to just make them not stick to friendly vehicles/pawns, so that's an option.

Make it stick only to you own vehicle and not to friendly players/vehicles...
