I've noted recently that on some maps, sniping from the MCC becomes an issue and annoyance. Though one can counter-snipe into the MCC, it proves tricky because of barriers/layout.

I can understand this needing to be an option if one is redlined, the MCC is close to this line and you need to break out. However, instant highground near the Null canon in domination seems a touch lopsided.

Recommend the following:

1. either pushing back the MCC to equidistant points from the null cannon, thus making the highpoints similar and advantageous for both sides

2. Reinstating the forcefield that prevented shooting out of the MCC.

I prefer option 1 as it can also thus reduce MCC camping and makes for a different element/tactic to some maps. also could lead to the introduction of floating platforms in later maps for highpoints/spawns, etc to cause variance in open areas and reduce spawn sniping.

[quote=M3DIC 2U]For outside the MCC's we are working on a solution currently to stop it.

Sniping from on top of the MCC? Or inside?

For inside MCC's we have already fixed the shields to stop that. This should be in the 1.2 update if it isn't already out.

I think the best fix would be not to allow damage in or out of the red line area. Thusly pushing people in to the arena.

We have actually been discussing an option similar to this. More it would be that you gain no points for killing inside of or into each sides safe zones. Our areas are determined by volumes. Attacker, Defender, All. So we can use those volumes determine who is in them. Also we should be able to represent on the map those areas separately.

this does not stop people from padding their K/D though

So you could stay in the Redzone - where no deaths affect your K/D - but you can still deplete the clone count of the other side - and hence assisting in winning the match.

Well, I never tried MCC Sniping.

I see from time to time mercs UPON the MCCs and sometimes they kill me, but in overall for me these snipers are easy goals to kill, mostly.

As a sniper I always check MCC and dropship flights and assume where my friends will pop up.

In the very first seconds it should not be possible to get mercs up on the MCC, so I can deal the enemiy action.

A problem is, when a merc enters the an ongoing battle delayed --> Then it is like the Auto-Deployment problem in Ambush-Mode.

In this case MCC Snipers could be a pain in the ass.

Sniping from INSIDE the MCC should be prohibited --> My idea is that arms and tools are disabled inside a MCC or if one a shot is made the merc gets a self (ricochet)-damage 20 to 40% of the normal damage.
