Meh, spawn killing isn't that bad. If you can see the tracers (assuming your killer isn't god and has 100% headshots or has the aimbots) just shovel down or find cover. If you are any good at this game, you should be able to kill the assailant.

^Agreed

For the most part, I agree with you, Bob, but sometimes you wouldn't believe how stupid your team can be in that situation. Either stupid or oblivious.

Are vehicles really that impossible now that we have auto climb?

I would love to see some machine gun mounted ATV's (I can't think of the real name, so like the recons in advance wars http://tinyurl.com/3vbj7oq)

Or an APC running around carrying people to the front lines.

The thing I like best about this idea is that you would actually need some teamwork to some degree in order for the vehicle to work.

I like muncher21's vehicle type.
Some random thoughts about it:
-must be a certain level of acceleration/braking, not just stupid insta stuff.
-hard to destroy with rifle, slightly easier with smg and grenade is a BOOOOOM
-if you shoot the driver -> car loses control
-petrol?? --- a player must place blocks to a special thing behind the car which would lead to that the block would disappear and the car would get fuel??
-must be careful with 2x2x2 holes in ground
-how about teams could build ramps where the vehicle could jump when fully accelerated
-can be used as a battering ram to destroy walls??

Totally agree with Drury.
Only planes would fit in the game and these should be - like mentioned before - ww1 planes xD

Agreed, but only if we get some blimps/zeppelins as well for bomb dropping/troop carrying :P

As for sprinting? No. Just no.

Could somebody please explain to me how all these land-based vehicles would work on a blocky landscape.

@machete
The same way players move up hills.

Actually, Advance wars has some great concept art for this game for vehicles.

Shit man, make these happen ben please!

Sprinting could be nice!!!
Tanks: no
Planes: mabye
Helicopters: yes!!!
Boats: maybe

How about scooters? xD

sprinting: yes tanks: mabey planes: yes helicopters: maybey boats: no

what's wrong about boats? with all the water around, they seem to be fine. With rivers, lakes, oceans.

only on some maps. Vanilla maps don't have much water.

hmmm... I have beat advance wars and you you know what would fucking destroy evrything... A FUCKING MEGA TANK... But yea i agree with all of the above

Vehicles would be able to climb the height of 1 block but not 2. Ramps would be fun as well. Using vehicles as rams might be a bit laggy.

I don't think Voxed can handle some stuff...
I mean, ramps would be somewhat harder to code, damage to blocks would be hard, and how would we make ramps?

blocks on a incline with a drop at the end? -.-

well, going like that, going up a hill is then a ramp.

yes, but you are not going off a cliff, so technically you really won't go off "flying"

Just keep it so vehicles can go up 1 block difference hills, but no more.

simple.

Still, voxed can only take oh so much physics.

Something like this. Definitely.

HALO... IN WW1!
t=There should be big giant anti-aircraft guns, also big navy ships like the ones surrounding Britain!
Hurricanes for planes since they were from ww1, also deployable machine guns(must be deployed to shoot) :)

I'm all for sprinting. As opposed to the normal moving speed.

Also, no vehicles. :/

Why not?

People don't want vehicle because they are still stuck in the mentality that the game is infantry only.

I think vehicles would be amazing for this game in larger person battles, they would give lots more variety then just people.

This and moar.
It is a pain in the ass with things like bridges and path ways. We need ways to mobilize. It also adds tactics. With vehicles and larger player caps, we may actually see teamwork. (mind you, having some sort of voice chat function would help)

Sprinting?YES
Modern Vehicles?Please no,this is FRIKING WWII!

Flying Fortress anyone?

THIS IS WWII

With SMGs?
