Urban Combat

[keam02]

I know this is been said, but maybe with a future expansion, urban combat could be implemented. It would be so fun to fight in a huge metropolis. Since this is the future, it wouldnt be too unrealistic to have a large city that was its own zone...

Anyone else have an opinion?

This has been discussed about a milliontiems. Just go into the search part of PSU and search for urban combat or just plain urban and im sure that something will come up.

Yup it has, and I agree it would be an awesome idea, it would be ahrd to make all buildings open to the players though and if they were, it would be sniper hell, you would get shot and never find the sniper,s till, I got sniper cert...:p

It would be a good idea for the urban combat maybe they'll make a continent thats all city scape.

Imagine a prowler rolling in or vanguard.
then that liberator bomber would be good here to.

While i like the idea, i think it would be playing into the advantages of one empire over the others. In short, will all the buildings, lines, polygons, intersects, etc on THAT map, its alot to render. Ever lag a little when just stepping outside the door when you FIRST login? (or is that just me? :D) A total urban setting would really be CPU intensive. That and the jackhammer would own you every time you turned a corner :rolleyes:

I just got a ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 256meg so I'm all for a urban area. And if youre system cant take a urban enviroment then just dont play their. Theirs plenty of other areas to play in.

hey hey hey slow down....r u peeps trying to turn PS into C&C renegade - c&c_city_flying.mix?!?! no way....i vote NO to urban areas...anyway this is auraxis....not new york...

Honestly, I like open environments much more then cityscapes. I would be all for small old destroyed towns dotting the landscape on the continents. That way it would provide interestin places to fight, and not force people into a cityscape.

I dont want to turn this game into anything.
No it's not New York but, theirs nothing but military bases.
This was a planet undergoing colonizing before the war started, where are the farms, the frontier towns, fishing ports?
They mention uncovering reminants of a alien race I'd like to see maybe a huge ancient starship sticking out of the ground somewhere. I dont want to take away anything from PS but I would like to see the enviroment enriched over time.

While there is no ancient starship there is a huge fossil somewhere. I forgot where, but I remember seeing a pic on the forums of a huge birdlike fossil.

I doubt I did that url thing right...

Yeah I've seen the fosil, I dont think thats the ancient super advanced alien race.
