proposal on an NBC certification

[d0rian]

why is the future any better than today.

it should be WORSE.

we need NUKES, CHEMICALS, GERMS in the future and young naive hive minds to weild the wepons of DOOOM.


it can just be a crate of phosgene grendades for the pounder. or cluster mines deliverable by an airship.

or a nice NUKE available to a commander of high enough rank and only if a certain key objective is met. it can be deployed on the global map.

ohhhh ohhhh i think i just soild my pants.

wouldnt you like to be a TR waiting at a gathering point designated by your supream commander and get a nice view on the horizon of a slaugter of NC or VR's (iwould prefere to see NC nuked) as indicated by a gigantic mushroom cloud .

[r3d]

They said they wanted NO weapons of mass destrustion
It would unbalance the gameplay
They said they wanted no one person to be better than the other becuase he could do things someone else couldent, within reasonable ranges
Like certs
Heavy weapons is not unfair if you have a supressor, you just need more cert.
Nukes : Unfair to all cause, well its a nuke.

[d0rian]

but only the commander can get it. which would be very rare.

it is pretty hard to be a commander in the game. you have to be able to be a real leader and frequently to accomplish being a commander. not any old joe can be one.


i am not suggesting that it be a frequent thing. just an occasional "wow" effect. overal effect would be to devisate a base sized field of influence.

i think they are shying away from the political incorrectness of WMD.

this still does not mean that chemical weapons cant be used. they are not really wepons of "MASS" distruction but are more very local and short lived. it can be the same thing as the plasma grendade but with a lingering effect of a few minutes.

[Prolific]

nukes and other weapons of mass destructive IMHO would just totally ruin the game in the long run...

[Tieom]

A) I doubt it, the devs have said no Weapons of Mass Destruction. An orbital strike ability is planned, but it will be much more limited in scope.

B) Go to the official forums. You have earned 100 I-don't-like-you points by not using capitals except when emphasizing a word. Also through use of 'l33t' in your name, you have earned 500 I-don't-like-you points, and the use of the phrase "ohhhh ohhhh i think i just soild my pants" earns you a number of I-don't-like-you points not expressible in conventional scientific notation. Go directly to the official forums, do not pass 'go', do not collect $200.

[Airlift]

If they won't give us the hell of artillery, there's no way they are going to let us play with wmd. Yikes, think about what a griefer could do with some kilotons.

[d0rian]

"think about what a griefer could do with some kilotons"

you are all missing the point....(and so am i, the devs said no already)

griefers will never get the option. only the best 1% who ever even become the higest rank commander. and that 1% i can guarantee you will never be griefers.


but thats just adding some flair to the game.
kids today just want FAIR games. thats why the wine about the NC being raped continiously by the TR becuase it aint FAIR that the TR have better weapons.


woopdy doo... they dont have to play the NC right.

[r3d]

The best 1%?
Right now about 20-30% of the commander out there ar cr4+
Just cause they took place in like 10 battles on the new lattice system

Lets see, about 200+ people nuking left and right
Sounds pretty gay to me !

[Airlift]

That is a good point. Griefers theoretically won't get access to them. I don't necessarily think they should make wmd in the game, but I would love to see some arty.

[edit] But first, I want a bomber, a 2 crew heavy assault aircraft, and a half squad blackhawkish transport. Also, I want a common pool energy weapon so all sides can have access to energy ammo boxes, and I want plasma mines first too. More grenades would be nice.

[d0rian]

Right now about 20-30% of the commander out there ar cr4+


i can bet you that is going to change.

i dont think they are going to want 20-30 percent of the players out there in the end yelling broadcast messages telling people what to do.

it is my impression that there will definitely be a pyramid of elite players in the end with this command point system with only a few very deserving players at the top.

i think sony has inveted the perfect system when it comes to sharing very valuble resources to its players in a game. only make those resources available to those players who have proven themselves to be dedicated, serious, and demonstrate the ability to lead and form groups.......griefers dont form groups. they are individual anarchists. and sony recongnizes this.

well at least i hope they did. and this system was an invention to combat it.


we cant have everyone fighting over who gets the coolest wepons...only the uber class deserve those weapons.

[r3d]

20-30% will get higher post release, with MORE people playing the game itll be about 2000+ players cr4+
Day 1-3 will be pretty boring, but then after people start leveling, watch the insanity resume

[1024]

this is the dumbest idea ever and has been discussed WAY too many times. THink about it like this: you're gathing with your outfit when you get surprised by a lone NC. You easily kill him and in about 2 min the area, alongwith you, is covered with the blast and radiation of a nuke. Wouldn't that suck?

[Harps]

yep.... and if u could nuke or something where would the strat be .. why not just nuke a base get rid of all outside defenders and send the rest of your squad in ?????

The thing with the bombers i think that would be really cool as long as they are easily countered

[Delirare]

how bout tactical nukes? =D

[TekDragon]

I posted a joke thread on fuel air bombs and anthrax strikes but it was just that, a joke. Having WMD in a FPS game would be... hmmm... whats that word? Oh yes, UNBALANCED.

Id love to be in a squad and work my way through a bridge, over some hills, and manage to penetrate my way into the courtyard of a base when all of a sudden: WHAM, im nailed by a tactical nuke strike. Sounds fun
