I think I have an idea that has probably been suggested in one way or the other by my fellow mercs but i'll leave my idea here regardless. We all know how equipment spam is both annoying but handy, many don't really mind the problems it causes because the owners of said equipment rarely actually use these areas other than just to feed on WP when their teammates so much as go near them  (Ok I'm just making a long reply of roundabout stuff that's already been said so i'll just cut to the chase).
These items could be added to the game in an attempt to fix these problems:
1. A "Corrosive" Flux grenade variation that (DOES NOT HACK equipment) releases a virus on a designated area to serve a reversed role to the original purpose of said equipment.
2. A...  I don't know, Pathogenic Pulse Sidearm? Does basically the same as the above item but has a cool sound effect, because who doesn't like those?
3. A new type of infantry equipment that sends signals, pulses or shoots...chips? that send computer viruses to nearby hostile equipment to corrupt its data and reverse their intended purpose.
Upon using any of the above items hostile equipment will enter a "Corrrupted" (Unfriendly, Mean, Evil, Traitorous, Negative, Infected... i'm sure you can think of a better name than me. ) state in which said equipment would become a hindrance to it's owner and his team. For example: a Nanohive gets infected? It no longer gives ammo and triage but if you stay near it long enough it begins to "Corrode" a players ammunition and stop the function of shield and armor repairers, infected Uplink? Players want to use it? sure let them, but take half their shield, armor and ammo upon spawning as a result , An R/E gets infected? Oh, I see you're an excellent ally and a real asset to our team, how about I just blow your **** up when you get close to me? (I'm sure you know where i'm going with this by now. ) If their equipment becomes "Corrupted" players would have no choice other than destroy it rather than have it become a hindrance (needless to say... NO WP 4 U!).
That is basically my idea, just a raw thought that came out of my mind not thinking of how this could harm me and my fellow mercs later on, I don't even know if you guys will see this reply or not but if you do, I hope you give it some thought. |
