DUST Search - Redlined? That was a thing?

Anyway, i was thinking about how many people don't like the redline, the abuse it can be used for, the lack of fun it is to be stuck there etcetera.
I've read before the ideas of removing the redline, and also being able to choose drop sights. And i know why it will never happen: Why use Uplinks if you can just drop anywhere.
So my idea: Remove the redline, and change the way Mercs deploy from the MCC. It's the future: we don't need gravity, we have inertial dampeners! Instead, we could have a Torpedo Tube style launching system, with a limited ability to aim and line up a landing site before firing yourself off. Say within a radius of 200-300m out from the base of the MCC? On larger maps the MCC could be higher, and the radius larger? Add another person's idea of MCCs that slowly circle each other, and i feel you would have much more dynamic games.

It sounds cool to me, but then we all like our own ideas....

I'll be away until Sunday so i can't check back in until then. Feel free to discuss, hijack, rage, troll, or ignore while i'm gone. Big smile

Shouting doesn't make your opinion seem more valid, it just makes you seem more annoying.

Don't have a redline, elite players will just spawn camp. So STFU, the redlines purpose is to give those who have just died a chance to spawn and get into battle. Have a problem with redline snipers, you can STFU about them too. They have little impact on the battle itself and aren't difficult to kill. Players just don't want to spend the time to kill them because they are too busy spawn trapping everyone else. Oh yea, snipers are also getting nerf'd in 1.8 so their tactical role is further diminished. Any problem of redline camping or whatever is solved by having balanced matchmaking process but elite ******* pricks dont want a balanced match making system so they make excuses and offer bullshit ideas to further their advantage and scores. So before you want to make game improvements the first issue that should be addressed is a balanced game. Have each match have fair and balanced teams and then you wont have to worry about the redline because the match wont be fought at one teams redline, but rather in the middle 1/3 of the map, where it is suppose to be.

I really hope that Kagehoshi or Arkena pick up the thought though, the Launchers of a Thousand Threadnaughts are good people and could thoroughly evaluate the idea. Shields as Weapons Zelda Dynasty Warriors is a real thing.

I really hope that Kagehoshi or Arkena pick up the thought though, the Launchers of a Thousand Threadnaughts are good people and could thoroughly evaluate the idea. Again, two elite players. If the match put KageHoshi team against an equally skilled Arkena team there would be no issue with the redline because the battle wouldn't be fought from one teams redline. So before the elite community pushes another stupid idea, the rest of the community should push for an balanced matchmaking system. Let the elite battle the elite and. See how they like playing on a fair battlefield.

So basically like the pod launchers on the side of the Titans in Battlefield 2142? An intriguing idea. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector
