Probably not a good idea. If they can't shoot back at all the enemies shooting at them from the other side of the redline they're even more at a disadvantage. Then they'll all hide behind rocks or in the MCC and never come out. Or not spawn or just leave the match.

Disbling weapon in the redline is a bad idea, people would not be able to fight back when redlined.

I would remove ALL wp and sp gains while in the redline if your team have a spawn point out of it.

CCP, et al.:

How hard would it be to code something like this into Dust 514? And, if it is possible, is it a good idea?

I tend to think it would be a good idea. It would instantly negate the chickens who hide behind the red line sniping or those who use their HAVs as long-range sniper HAVs.

Even better yet, if a player remains behind the red line for more than one minute, they're instakilled.

Anyway, just some ideas on an early Sunday morning GÇö ideas that came to me, naturally, after I'd be picked off more than once by red line snipers.

I think a better idea would be to add a timer to a team's own redline that begins after being in there for too long. As well as an AFK auto-kick after setting idle for too long.

That's a great idea! You really should forward it to the devs at CCP.

Bad Dust Bunnies, BAD!
Once again people thinking of "solutions" that woulds just hurt active players than it would AFKers or Redzoners.

What happens when a team gets pushed back to their Red Zone by the enemy team then?
A) They're either rendered defenseless.
B)killed because they couldn't get out.

For A), that'll just encourage more AFKing the moment things start to go bad.
For B) It encourages just dropping out of the match when things start to go bad.

For both, you'll just have more annoyed active players than AFKers.

Also again, AFK auto kick would be the most useless thing to ad, people will just put a rubber band on the controller, or set it up so that the character will keep spinning in place or something.
Even if not, they can just check on it every now and then and just flick an analogue stick or press a button every now and then.

You'd just be inconveniencing those who do HAVE to leave for a few moments for whatever reason, but plan to come back to continue helping while actual AFKers would remain unaffected or at most slightly inconvenienced.

Besides, how is Redzone penalties going to afect Ambush AFKers or AFKers that hide outside the redzone?

Come on people THINK of how your ideas would affect everyone in the game, not just the people you're attempting to hinder.

let them stay back there. These guys are pathetic and noone really wants them on the field anyway. If you are getting picked off by these guys you should probably join them.

Huh. Unfortunately, your scenario is probably the one that would bear fruit. In my scenario, players would simply come out from behind the red line GÇö even if it meant merely stepping a foot beyond it GÇö and actually engage the opposing team in an actual game.

You come to cry on the forums, because a Chicken shot you in the head?

You are a Merc. from the future. Go get your best Chicken Killing Outfit from the Shed and shoot it.

Redline tanks, can gather some good war points, every so oftern get an infantry kill, supression hinders them bigime, not an invincible tactic.
Redline snipers, once again, they have limited view of the field, can be counter sniped.

main thing here, is both sides can do it. both snipers and tanks can be dealth with, it requires a little co-rdination, won't say too much here, due to the fact, I will redline snipe, If i can correctly cover multiple locations for my squad.

Disbling weapon in the redline is a bad idea, people would not be able to fight back when redlined.

I would remove ALL wp and sp gains while in the redline if your team have a spawn point out of it.

Are you implying that I don't use cover when attempting to reach objectives? Because if you are, you are most certainly mistaken. Some maps are extremely sniper friendly GÇö even more so from behind the red line GÇö and there are stretches where you have to risk exposing yourself ever so briefly in order to get to where the action is.

The bridge map was the one where particularly annoying red line snipers were not only picking me off on occasion, but my teammates as well. We tried hunting them down, but they were nested in some hills far enough beyond the red line that we couldn't get to them before the timer ran out and instakilled us.
