modems in PT.

These were cool. Are they gonna be in PS ?

[SITHDUKE]

Anyone remember the best 212 modem spot wasnt even in 212? :P

[LoChang]

And the best exhibition modem wasn't within 100 feet of the objective.

Good times.

I don't know this one.

MOdems were crazy in PT, because it became solely a game of hide the modem, which was pretty stupid. I prefer CTs bombing objectives a lot better. There is variety of where you can place the bombs, but you cant just go and place them anywhere.

You probably mean the spot on the pipe outside.

simple minded.

How about for bombing we have select areas you can put them and not set points?  There would still be a guessing game but you know atleast in what area they could be.

[InvisibleMan999]

Maybe if the bomb at least had to be at a set elevation, like a narrow band or something you could put it. Like for instance if it was a circle around each boiler in the tech room in Aqua. I don't really want crouch oplaced bombs and bombs at high elevation though. Lets avoid the PT style game where you basically played Double Agent, only with a spy elbowing you in the face and tossing smoke on you.

[Spekkio]

If you want to return PT modem placement, you'd have to make the modem show up as a blip on the radar. It wouldn't give away height, of course, but at least you wouldn't be on an endless wild goose chase for those suckers.

To be honest, I'm not much of a fan of sabotage in CT, either. Relies way too much on EAX to find the bomb.

[Farley4Fan]

Yeah that's what I was trying to suggest invisible but I couldn't find the words for it.

[Gawain]

with eax/some experience/camnet you don't have to guess where the bomb is. maybe we can implement the bomb objectives in a better way...

[Westfall]

Maybe they shouldn't beep. Rather, a clock pops up with the amount of time you have to defuse. You know where the bomb drop off is, so its in that certain area. I also think that the merc should dod a little more than shoot the bomb to defuse it. Going up to it and actually turning off the bomb with a 2-3 sec. animation, with the option of berserking, seems a little more gameplay balanced.

Another idea, spy should be able to plant the bomb and not activate it, or activate it with remote control. This only goes for the objective, nothing else.

This would definitely be a boost to stealth players.
