Telling shooters to play COD.
Now what?

^BING

He got the idea

Hmmm. He has a point. You can build in this game so people are gunna build pixel art, this ISN'T COD after all...

Once, i was on the Goon Haven server on blue team. There were 12 people on blue. 3 of those (including me) Were the only ones fighting, The other 9 dumb-asses on my team were building a bunch of rainbows and kitchens in spawn, while there were so many enemies, i was the ONLY ONE defending. If they killed me, they could just walk in, kill all the retards on my team with pickaxes, and destroy all their structures in the seconds it took me to respawn. THOSE are the people that should play minecraft.
It was kinda fun though, since most of the enemy team sucked anyway, so i killed some of their waves rambo-style with a shotty.

Hah, exactly how I feel, once in a server some of them said:
something like: Stop building a bigass fort and fight! this is EXACTLY what they said after that "Stop treating this game like minecraft" then I said "stfu and stop treating this game like CoD or CounterStrike, or TF2"
Then they were going further and saying "Stop NOT treating this game like CoD"
I really can't get these people. and I agree, It's acceptable for me for the enemy team to grief me, but people in my team griefeing my buildings are just unacceptable, sometimes I just say "Stop griefeing me, why can't you just kill enemies and grief their buildings."

meh,

should stop calling them grievers, There is already a word for it:
Assholes

being an asshole is the same in this game as it is in minecraft.

Going to be nice once we get better tools to perma-ban people.

**Breaking your own teams stuff- you are an asshole.

**Not playing the game, and fucking with other people- You are an asshole.

**Telling other people to go play something else because you are ruining the server- YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE.

There is no way around it. No justified reason for it.

yo guys, imma let u finish, but i think that this is the systems:
1 if u build useless crap on a CTF server, go play a FREEBUILD
2 if u build usefull stuff and some "ally" buttface deletes it, votekick him
3 if an ENEMY knocks down ur usefull shiot then quit whining and knock down theirs, idjit.
4 if there are no freebuilds, make ur own.

artillary is very nice idea and each tea will have 2 peices at the supply tent a player should go and pickup 15 round and then sit in a artillery peice and bring up the map click on a sector and say fire in the hole at G5 if you can prevent griefing. no iron sights and i like the idea of abommibaltoast that one round would be fired every 3.3 seconds so yea i hope the producers can come up with something and hope there is artillery

rpgs would be nice to blow holes in sniper nests in maps like hallway also if arty was a barrage that you select the area on the grid on hallway people could just aim into the hallway and block it off to the enemy (not like anyone uses it anymore it just gets mega griefed then a large tunnel system is made)

rpgs, or LAW , tanks, choppers, bombers, fighters , ships , jeeps , more weps. player controlled turrents

I wish I could get Forgotten Hope working on my Vista system... alas, I digress.

or even something like this?

I can't see it winning any wars, or even any battles. A single blockbuster bomb would make pretty short work of it. Hell drop an earthquake bomb near it in the desert and it would vanish without a trace.

Of course, everyone knows that isn't as fun as parachuting a whole bunch of commandoes on top of it to break in and blow it up from inside...

@Tehpwnzer you mean something kind of like this? http://imgur.com/a/esHvc

Actually, I was browsing the internet of cool unfinished or in testing stages of designs and this is one of them: http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/mauspic/ratte100.jpg It's called the "ratte" it's about 20 times larger than the maus (from what it looks) and it's 1,000 metric tons and can run using 20 small naval engines or 2 U boat engines (< holy shit!) It's speed is 40km/h which is very fast for a super heavy tank (more of a fucking hotel!)

The real design has 2 massive 28 inch naval guns on a huge over 20 foot in diameter turret. with 2 flak 88 guns in the front, then in the back it has 4 smaller naval guns on 2 seperate turrets. If albert speer wasn't such a douche the Germans would've won the war :D anything allied that could destroy that would have to be very close and anything within 300m of that thing will be destroyed.

Say whaaaaaaaaa? make him invest more in the Luftwaffe, rail mounted guns are awesome but bombers can deliver similar payloads a lot more effectively.

The gun should be the gustav :D

I suggest reading the entire wiki page, The size of the shell is fucking crazy.
AND IT takes 3 days to set up the GUN ITSELF

I want to go back in time and make hitler make 30 of these >:D

The Gustav: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav

DPB D:

I would love it if, like someone suggested (too lazy to look :P) the artillery could fire explosive rounds, or Gas rounds. I was thinking the explosive rounds have a fair splash and impact damage, but are intended for more "anti-building" use, while the gas could do, like, say, 5 HP damage every 2 seconds that you stand in it, plus an additional 5 seconds' worth of damage when you get out, and the gas cloud should be large and remain for a while.

To prevent griefing, just not allow shooting at the grid columns A nd B for blue, G and H for green. Maybe even one column furthur if necessary.
Also, It could play a sound like the airstrike sirens during WWI and II that would prompt people in that square to take cover or something.

Additionally, you could get ammo from the enemy base

Jesus Christ I just realized this is almost forty thousand posts later, and the original post had just barely cleared 1k.
It's like watching your child grow, it makes me proud.

Do you mean like the chemical canister and the flag, or all the regular weapons in CBFD where you can only hold one at a time?

It's a fair point about not wanting to read all of it, it got pretty in-depth, but I tried to
get everything summed up in one post here. It should give you a good 'cliff notes' version.

Ok i didnt want to read this all but i think that( to reload it u must go get ammo from the hq but like in conkers bad fur day you can only hold it nothing else and when u die it just deletes it self ???? just an idea

i think mortars would be cool, really i do not see a big problem with them.

Will mortars be stationary?
and will it have bullet drop?

According to wikipedia mortars are

-man portable over any terrain
-able to be fired from trenches
-pretty sweet in general

Not bad, but could the mortar be operated using the Grid-based targeting system?

Then you could only set it up on a flat 3x3 area.

What if you could only set it up on a flat 3x3 area?

I love that Russian guy. He sounds all Slavic and stuff, but uses awesome sentence structure.

I was thinking of something that would take the place of the SMG or the rifle, with ammo working the same way. It'd be like a trebuchet in Age of Empires II, in that it takes a while to set up before you can fire it and you have to pack it back up before you can move again.

Mortar IRL
