New Tower "Barriers"

I like this analogy though. I would pay any day to see some sluggers duking it out and alternately I wouldn't mind watching some bunters for free. End of the day I would much rather pay for a slugfest than watching a bunch of pansies dribble their way on.

What is the source of these?

Seems to me it's a definite improvement. Aircraft that want to spam in will have to fly at a lower angle to fire into doors (thus making it more likely to be in view of AA that's indoors), while those trying to hit behind the barriers would need steeper angles, but have a harder time detecting the enemies.

The merlons should make it easier to recuperate, and particularly better to pop from behind cover with AV.

Remember the walls in PS1? We had some very large, wide merlons and no roof cover. Of course air had it relatively easy: you had an angle from above and splash damage if you were a Reaver.

However, the merlons allowed for frequent recuperation for snipers, allows medics to work and you have to worry less about being engaged from multiple sides at once.

All in all, I'm very glad to see these changes starting to appear. Exact shape and spacing might be altered in the future, but all in all, outer ring tower defense should improve a lot already.



Hopefully the flow from spawns to the various levels is revised as well.

Got it, editing OP.

I notice there is force field up on the doors on the top floor. Will be nice not having enemies camp the teleporter and jump pad exit to the spawn.

We will be forever wallowing in the mire of slow and deliberate decisions because of this. I do wonder how many freeloaders actually have paid a dime in this game and is it worth it?

Wrong. A F2P game is much better suited to change than any paid one. With paid games you're buying the game as is and future patches can make shitstorms if they change what someone bought the game for. F2P games are setup where you're you didn't pay for anything in the game. You bought Station Cash, not in game items. What the SC is used on doesn't matter as it was bought with SC not money.

There are reason for buffers like SC and MS points. This is one of them.

Notice any similarities btw? (top left and right in particular)
