No, thank you

@Razor, yeah except that doesn't take any skill (that time I spawn killed all those guys I was doing it to be a dick and I eventually got killed by a guy who spawned right in front of me after I ran out of ammo.) and thus you don't deserve it. If the game was done right it'd be like brink or mag were you have turrets guarding your spawn/ you spawn in helicopters that have turrets mounted on the sides that you could control, or you parachute in, some kind of defense. However the maps are so big occasionally the enemy is behind you and you don't even have enough time to turn around.

Example of the game being balanced:
1. You spawn at the edge of the map from A1/H1 to A10/H10 , which is lined with landmines that destroy enemy players to prevent people from being spawn killed. (sure maybe you can get a lucky shot and pop a guy in the face, but don't even bother trying to walk right in there.)
2. Intel spawns in B1/G1 to G1/G10 or anywhere in between (when I say in between you know exactly what I mean.)
3. You can't build in A1/H1 - A10/H10, this would reduce the pussies that decide to hide in metal bawkses.

Or if you want to be a dick, have a Satellite track the enemy position and use an orbital laser if they go into your spawn. (This idea was intended as a joke and should not be taken seriously.)

Other Idea, no respawns, and if the game is in progress you must wait until the intel is captured.

Temporary Invulnerability when you spawn, it only last 30 seconds which gives you more than enough time to destroy their anuses and then some.

When you spawn, you can press M and enemies that are within your vicinity will appear on the map so you can pinpoint them and kill them, call them names, and what not.

These are just ideas i'm throwing out.

Now, some of you might not have a problem with spawn killing which means you found a server that is not full of pricks or cod kiddies.

I also notice that spawn killing isn't much of a problem on generated maps, only on custom maps that don't have adequate cover.

Thank you for your time.

Don't you mean A Art ?

Its actually quite easy to see though fog. Dont focus on color but movement. I can easy spot people much faster then they can spot me by that simple rule. Also either way. They deserve to be spawnkilled. Spawnkilling is an art. If your good enough at it you deserve the kills and hence airstrike.

Except I was spawn camping at the deepest point in the fog that they were still visible, I sat there for about 12 minutes adjusting my eyes until I got a clear view of what they were doing. A regular person needs to adjust their sight before you can see them in the fog that dense and that far away. I was in the water and crouching too.

Yes but they deserve to be killed if they couldn't find you SPAWNKILLING them. Seriously, you have atleast been killed by the same guy twice. Its kinda easy he's foxhole-ing.

Razor, I had a badass spot once. Basically there was a bunch of fighting going on in this one spot in the middle of the map close to our base, I built a small tunnel network while everyone was fighting and hollowed it out (but not too hollow, had to keep it confusing in case the enemy got inside), then all I had to do was remove 1 block, kill a guy from that spot, put the block back in, go to another spot, rinse and repeat. They didn't find me once, that was probably the only time i managed a killstreak of more than 6, EVER.

Well, except for that time we snuck around behind the enemy base and spawn killed them for about 30 minutes, but I already posted that in another thread.

ANSWER TO EVERYTHING IN THIS TOPIC: Mortars

No need, I'm grumpy and I just woke up.

I give people more credit than that usually.
Nice meeting you, though. I'm sure you're not what i assume you are due to your background of web-browsing. Its just a little hard to see the forest through so many trees at times.

Would it be appropriate to apologize? I'm not sure.

Wait, you didn't know I came from /v/? There was a thread, um I think it was Who" wants to bet this was posted on 4chan" or something like that. I don't expect you to sift through garbage to find that thread either.

Oh look, it's this shit again.

Well, now we know who Noire is. <3

(P.S. Don't honestly care about mag atm, i don't have the connection to play any more. Was talking about AOS and using MAG as reference.)

@Exile, what the fuck is V?
You can't take a joke can you? I hardly post on /v/ because it's /b/ 2.0, I only lurk there and post on /a/ (Which is /b/ 3.0). You were SVER? Well that explains it you were too hurfdurf dark and edgy for any other one so you joined THE REBELLION !!?!?!
Also, I only played acquisition and TDM the other mode with 256 players WAS laggy, however I have a horrible connection and could connect never, dc'd once. Raven owns most of the contracts now, SUCK IT REBEL SCUM!

>Airstrike
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBFBZb-B3Vo

The airstrike servers ar twitch shooting call of duty fags running around... And the air strike is basically a shit ton of grenades bombing a whole fucking coordinate... Wtf

Oh hey, a discussion about airstrikes that isn't "how dare you tip the natural order and ruin my exquisite gameplay"

Personally I haven't seen anybody change their play style to get them, except the occasional deuce who just wants to try them out for the first time.

Airstrikes aren't terribly useful, and that's a good thing, because the point is that they are just a reward. They constitute a more satisfying and tangible goal than watching the numbers in the scoreboard go up, and most importantly, they're fun. I've had people tell me they were bored of the game and that this little addition had livened it up again, so for all I care, they're a success.

Meh. I personally like airstrike not due to camping. Belive it or not without a basass spot and some hacks its impossible to stay hidden forever. Thats why I believe airstrikes are a good reward.

Okay, first. V is a bunch of ADD children, nothing of value lost when they stopped playing.

Second, SVER is the one true god of MAG. (OIC)

Third, i can't connect to these servers long enough to bloody see any thing happen.
The other result is i get kicked for having played counter strike most of my life.

So really, i have no opinion about the airstrikes other than they sound silly.

lol i hat COd and Ben himself said that he doesnt want this to be a twitch shooter... i think the same because honestly i like slow paced tactics :)

>SAGE FOR VIRAL
I mean sure it's summer but still.

>viral a free game
what.

Also you don't need to add shit to make this popular, you just got to spam other forums and viral the shit out of this even though you don't actually pay for this game.

How about you turn the game into casual bullshit? 2 head shots to die, 10 body shots otherwise.

Kaede-chan: The politics are the problem. The game needs new players to survive. How does one bring in new players? One way is to add more stuff. Even if it's bad for the game in a cohesion-and-focus sense, the tendency for an open game design is to accumulate more and more and never cut anything, because that keeps the largest number of people interested.

Almost everything in Ben's server is emulated in pyspades now; but the team still wants to develop it and further extend the game, and that means we're staking out policy on the future design, intentionally or not. And right now everyone with commit rights can dump a new feature in the game, and we all have our opinions...

So the conclusion I have to reach is, we should set up a process that can reason through the design decisions more democratically. Otherwise we will just end up with everything we can think of in pyspades, turned on by default.

Timer sounds nice, but if it was something like the way mag was it'd be great.

I got to the highest chain of command in that game, certain airstrikes were 3:00 minutes, others were about 5 - 6. Also you had to control certain objectives on the map to even be able to call them. Destroy the enemy anti aircraft battery, before you could do that you'd have to destroy their communication equipment, artillery to stop them from being able to call that in every 2 minutes, and I think a trailer they could spawn in or some crap, it's been a while since I actually played it.

Oh wait, I forgot MAG doesn't exist, because the ps3 has NO GAMES.

This isn't hard to let go of, and who cares if the deuces like it? They don't care about our community. They don't even care enough to learn how to change their username.

Now that pyspades has this feature it's hard to let go of it - it's gaudy and flashy and Deuces love it so. But we can still tune how it's implemented.

Would you guys prefer a timer on the airstrike, accelerated by kills? That was my first thought for alternatives to KS - I didn't like Hompy's choice of KS since it favors cautious players and I'm more of a risk-taking berserker type.

Also, would you like to have air defenses that do a reversal on an incoming airstrike and send the strike back to the guy who called it?

Yeah, but who's the faggot that held the building contest that had these rewards:
1st Place: God mode for an hour on the server
2nd Place God mode for 30 minutes
Yeah, stop being a faggot.
Personally I think standing in the presence of our great leader is more rewarding
As you can see, she is Blonde and has blue eyes, thus proving her superiority to all others.

Well the only people on my server that airstrike are fags with god mode on xp
