Real answer: good bridges take less than 10 seconds to make and towers are impractical most of the time

Towers are actually quite useful, if you have low wavy terrain around it - great for spotting and sniping. But block damage doesn't harm - good tower is built similar to bunkers: 6x6, not 1x1.

Best tower = simple 1 block pillar. Done in few seconds, nothing blocking your view. Fairly easy to grief, but I doubt you'll make strong friendship with it.

Fighting enemies in high towers is always easy because of the silhouette against the white sky

"return of block damage"

I came.

I wish block damage wouldn't return, or at least make it take 6 shots to destroy a block

it pretty much makes cover useless, and makes it too easy to destroy simple towers and bridges without any skill or sneaking

i just came

You want to know the secret to not getting shot after somebody takes the time to shoot out your cover? Move one step to the left or the right, it's your choice.

You don't build simple bridges to last, you build them because they're simple and incredibly easy to replace.

^most accurate post ever +1

I'm on TheGrandmaster's side. The minimap will alter the gameplay and just clutter up the screen. A compass would have been a better solution.

LoL the minimap is going to be mini.....

Not take up the hole page :P

Yeah and I vote for compass.

Minimap is gay. At 800x600 resolution all pros play in.

I hope the minimap will only show the area of the current block grid you are at, and if an enemy is shooting nearby it will show them as the little red circle each time they shoot like how it shows them when you cap their intel

Yeah and it also shows you all their teamchat messages and what weapon they're currently holding and their names and their mood...

It all sounds awesome to me.

Looking forward to seeing it, good sir.

Looking forward to completeing my L96A1 PACK!
