Tex -USMC- 0 Posted March 21, 2002 Itd be cool, but just kind of superflous... maybe in a user addon, but Im not losing any sleep over it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PitViper 0 Posted March 21, 2002 who cares about trenches. I want to be able to dig foxholes (3 minute delay?) or hasties (1 minute?) better yet, have one of those trucks that digs foxholes in 15 seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGFs TopGun 1 Posted March 21, 2002 I wish they had more buildings to enter. It would be awesome to enter a church as a sniper and being able to go up to the steeple and be a look out or take them out Trenches would be very usefull though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaCrytter 0 Posted March 21, 2002 Yeah, lets have 'Spade soldiers'. They carry a spade on their back instead of a rocket launcher, and can use it to dig a trench. And as a last resort they can smack an enemy soldier round the head with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thehamster 0 Posted March 22, 2002 Yep once we get the trenches all we need is some gas mask a gas artillery shell and we have a full set for WW1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knobius 0 Posted March 23, 2002 Trenches would be a bit extreme to program and would probably require major changes to the collision detection code. I would rather invest that amount of time in bridges and rivers, that would truely complete flashpoint and make it the best game ever made for years to come If they had one river in resistance I would be the happiest person ever.

Relg 0 Posted March 23, 2002 Trenches would be cool. I would also like the rivers too. But what would take the cake (in my mind) would be deformable terrain. Shallow craters from mortars, smaller ones from RPGs. Big ones from the A10 bombs. that sort of thing and maybe they could make it so that buildings (when destroyed) fall in to big heaps of rubble that you can hide in and shoot at things from Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With idiots firing left and right, the computer could be spending all it's processing on terraforming. Trenches and Rivers are basically the same thing in Ofp, and it's not a problem to have them in the game, and when, and if, the terrain editor is released, someone is bound to make some nice maps with both in them. Bridges are a bigger problem, if they are to be blown up that is. Either they are permanent fixtures, (= no blow-up) or they are like houses (= bad clipping). Which would you prefer?

USSoldier11B 0 Posted March 26, 2002 I never had a truck dig a foxhole for me! 1-3 minutes to dig one? Have you ever dug a fighting position? Especially in crappy terrain. You are looking at a few hours, especially to fill all those sandbags. Rivers would be cool, and to have the ability to swim. That is opening a whole new can of worms....

No one is going to wait a few hours in a single mission to dig a single fighting position. now, if they made it an "object" in the mission editor, that would be handy (negative space object I guess:) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USSoldier11B 0 Posted March 28, 2002 Dude come on! I was just joking. But many a time grumbling and severely sunburned did I wish I had a backhoe to dig a foxhole for me. We couldn't dig any in Alaska, permafrost! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tales_From_Topographic_Oceans 0 Posted March 28, 2002 Thehamster mentioned WW1. I would love to have the same game but fight during WW1 or during the US Civil War. I would love to fight with Jackson behind the stonewall at Fredericksburg, VA 1863 and repulse Burnside's Yankee advance with my Enfield .58 musket. A bayonet charge would be fun too. I would like to see the shells eject from the weapons in OPF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
