Ideas for the Red Zone: The MCC should kill you for spending too long in hostile territory by sammus420
Some time ago, a fellow DUST player proposed in the thread above to have the MCC's weapons kill any hostiles that enter their territory. It would discourage restricting access to the rest of the map when no CRUs or uplinks are available and maintain focus on defending or capturing objectives. I would like to modify the original proposal in the previously mentioned thread by removing the amount of time before the MCC's weapons start firing at intruders within range and moving back the part of the redline that covers the spawn area below the MCC. The modifications would make it harder for redliners to survive in enemy territory and not know where to stay out of range.
What do you guys think?

Also fix the display bug and make the timer 10 seconds. As I already wrote in the OP, there will be no timer for the MCC's weapon targeting system to further discourage redlining.

Honestly I think that no timer would just encourage people to sit in the redline with range weapons even more. Having a giant missile launcher ensuring no one even has a chance to get close to them is just too much protection. Hmm, good point. What do you think about weapons only activating when players leave the spawn area?

I thought it was the TacNet terminating clones that violate the redline safe area, to protect civilians. That's true but this topic is only concerned with protecting the spawn area.

This is what the game Battlefield 2142 did, the 2 teams each had a titan which the enemy team had to infiltrate and destroy, but the guns were man-able, on the ship and automated. I think I heard that the Titan could do this. I guess that's one of the reasons it was so popular.

So forget about it  . You may be right, but CCP might surprise us.

What do you think about weapons only activating when players leave the spawn area? On second thought, I take back what I wrote. The shield that protects the spawn area and block redline OBs would also block damage from all the weapons in the game.

Having a giant missile launcher ensuring no one even has a chance to get close to them is just too much protection. Just make it a 2 way shield. you cant fire into it and the opposing time cant fire out of it..and then a no timer on mcc weps, so now redline snipers are useless. I already suggested something like this in an earlier post.
Kallas Hallytyr wrote:The redline is just generally awful. It's either too protective (old 600m railgun tanks and snipers) where the only counters available are the same tools; or it's not nearly protective enough, such as the Ashlands redline which gives barely any room at all where you're not immediately being violated by a stomp.
I honestly feel that this is an average band-aid type 'fix'. The redlines and maps in general need a very thorough overhaul, otherwise the game will just keep cycling through with the redline being either too good or awful, defensively. Are you saying the redline or my proposal is a Band-Aid solution?
