Is there blocking in PS? I.E. you can't walk right through other players or vehicles. FPS games almost always do, so I would assume so.
It sounds like there is a part deep in every warp gate that you need to reach in order to truly use the warp gate. Well, any time you have blocking and safe zones, you have to worry about an area being blocked off, and getting trapped; this happens both deliberately and accidently. Can either happen in PS?
For example, one team might set up a ring of heavy tanks around the center of a warp gate to prevent any non-flying units from getting through. Or three guys might surround an enemy tank, preventing it from moving. With no damage inside the safe zone, this could be a real problem to deal with.
So is there anything that prevents these situations from happening? Perhaps the warp gate center is just too big to be worth blocking it off. Perhaps blocking is turned off once you're in the safe zone. So anyhow, do I need to worry about this?
Hmmm.. he takes lessons from SJ dont he?
