a while ago Ben started a poll about a new weapon. But now the sniper rifle is the top voted weapon. So I decited to start a project: the "TOGETHER AGAINST THE SNIPER RIFLE!!!" project.

If Ben adds a sniper rifle all the campers would sit in their little bunkers/towers with the new snipe and headshot everybody, like a pussy. Because I think the with new snipe you would be able to zoom in. And then you got really no chance against that campers.
And the semi really does the job. So he should really implement a pistol, MG, shotgun or something like that but NO SNIPER RIFLE! Because camping around and headshot everybody nearby would totaly ruin AoS.

All guys who agree should post a command with: YES, I'm against the sniper rifle!
Maybe we can something if we are enough.

After thinking about how annoying spawncamping is (not to be confused with spawnkilling people as they pass through, which is acceptable to me. It's when the twerp sits there for half an hour killing you repeatedly that's a pain), I came up with a nice preventative idea:

When you respawn, you're both invisible and unable to interact with the game environment in any way except to move around in it. This lasts for a very short time ( t < 5 seconds) before you become visible and are able to build, fight, shoot, etc.

Camping in general isn't a huge problem (it was certainly a major part of WWI), and spawnkilling people as you're passing through is understandable, but I can't think of any real combat where people magically appeared in battles... this mechanic will provide more of an illusion of marching in as a real soldier would. By extension, if nobody magically appeared in battles, people couldn't wait around for them to appear so they could shoot them before they got their bearings.

So, good idea? Bad idea? Middling? What do you think?

In Ace of Spades I have often found that having all the player look the same causes many problems. First of all, its boring. I would like to have my own identity, and for everyone else to have their own identity, so that players can interact with each other easier. Second, its frustrating. If I keep getting killed by the same camper I want revenge. But often times I can't find him. I have no way of telling who's who unless I kill him. Thirdly, its unfair. The Blues cannot camouflage. I can see them coming a mile away. They have a serious disadvantage. I have found that its usually the Blues that sit in tunnels and dig into the land, and I think this may be why. So I was thinking we should have the option to customize our character outside of the servers.

Head: Brodie Helmet, Stahlhelm Helmet, Bandanna, Hair

Face:Gas mask, Sunglasses, Eyebrows, Eyes, Facial Hair,

Body: Backpack, Cartridge belt, canteen, First Aid Kit, Gas mask, E- Tool, Belt Ammo (wrapped around neck), Radio

I think the creator might have to give the soldiers more pixels but I ultimately think it would be a cool feature. Let me know what you think.
