We all hate redline sniping right? Its pretty hard to justify having someone shooting down at the battlefield in an area that only another sniper can get at them.
We all agree getting redlined is a massive bummer, and pretty unfair.
But we still need to keep players inside the map.
Why not have the area directly under the MCC spawn point be a safety zone, where a bubble shield protects people inside from incoming fire, but at the expense of the weapon's PG so they can't fire while inside the bubble. This bubble is powered by the MCC so it only shuts down when the MCC does. To stop being redlined at the bubble, you get 30 seconds of invincibility still powered by the bubble once you leave the bubble and you can fire you weapon. The 30 seconds won't be long enough to redline snipe and not get someone chasing you up, but at the same time its long enough for someone to kill ambusher that are right next to the bubble without dying.
The cowardice zone is just the Redline on the very edge of the map. Your clone's life support is automatically shut down if you go too far or stay too long in the cowardice zone. |

Thats the beauty of the safety zone. If you camp outside, then you will be charged at by someone who is invincible. And even if they don't want to take you out, they can bring an LAV into the bubble, and just charge off, not being able to get taken out within 30 seconds, and by then, they would be at the objective. |

And from an alliance member too...for shame!
There's no way this could be abused except ya know...if your enemies surround you with HAVs.
Stomping shouldn't be encouraged.
The short term invincibility would mean ambushers can't kill you, but you can kill them. Within the 30 secs they would of had time to run off with an LAV brought into the bubble, or kill off some of the ambushers/spawn stompers.
I'm trying to make sure that people aren't spawn camped or redlined. |
