Ok, So I love the new tug of war, makes it awesome, very much so.
I was thinking of a Capture Mechanic change to bio labs, somewhat incorporates and LLU or similar, and heavily relies on team play.
Here is a rough sketch of what came to mind.
Move the spawn gen, elsewhere in the base. And in the central hub of the base put a machine that spawns LLU's (Multiples, for incremental gains, Ill explaim)
What this does, is when you assault a base, and and engineer hacks this, it begins spawning LLU's or bio orbs, or... Dragon balls, whatever. 1 every 30 seconds, or couple minutes, whatever.
Now, what yuo have to do to start capping the base, is a player has to grab this, and run it to one of the satillite bases, for an uplink to the warpgate, so the NC warpgate can start switching the base over.
Player cannot use a weapon other than melee,
Player cannot get into vehicles,
Player cannot use teleporter.
If player dies the LLU dissolves/explodes.
How to get the base back, do it in reverse. If NC are attacking and have capped 3 LLU's the TR must cap 3 LLU's to go back to full tr control, or defended if 4, tr must return 4. up until the limit and NC caps, but for every LLU the TR replace, the NC have to recap, so if TR cap one back, then NC points goes down by 1 as well.
I envisioned it with 10 LLU's or caps, This implements a ton of team work because the player is basically defenseless, they have to run to the pad, take the elevator down, and run it to the satillite. then hack it into the system (just with e.) then its 1 cap point. the capper gets points per cap.
With the reversal for defence it makes the bases easy to defend, and protect, but also by nuking the spawn generator you get extra obstacles. this more and more pushed the need to take out other base mechanics to succeed.
I think this idea, even if revamped a tad bit would be a TON of fun. Plus, Its a new cap mechanic other than cap n hold Which i think the players will over joy for.
I think this Also pushes the idea of communication and outfit play. Outfits will get strategies and ideas and use it as a form of competition..
I sent this into higby at his gmail. and i hope some of the other devs like this. i think it could be awesome.. I am just getting so bored with cap and hold. and I dont want the new players coming on release to do the same, ya know?
EDIT:
Also, Max with Riot Shield cert, takes place of a weapon for a shield... cant use it while shooting, but can be used to help push assaults. :P
Check out my stream too! :)
