anders^on Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I watched all the trailers carefully and read most of the previews -however, I didn't catch what kind of limitation Pandemic is going to use in SWBF. Will it be like in Battlefield 1942 (Leaving battlefield means losing health) or will the players be jailed with map-specific things like tall trees, mountains and so on .. or will Pandemic use some new sort of limitating their maps ? Would be nice to know - I'd prefer the BF1942-method.
Global Strike Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I go with the bf:1942 limit as well. It makes the map seem less "limited" somehow. :jawa
anders^on Posted July 22, 2004 Author Posted July 22, 2004 Agree. But I could imagine a few more ways of limitation .. for example a randomly generated area surrounding the entire map.
reltes Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 they should have a voice or text message saying "you are straying from your objective" or something and if you keep going out you get mauled into the ground by enemy aircraft fire. that way it keeps the illusion of free roaming and gives you a cool interactive battle death.
Tyler_Durden Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I believe the maps are big enough so that the potential to wander off is no easy task. From what i've seen, the maps are about as huge as the 1942/vietnam maps. I am wondering, though for modding purposes, how large a map could be and depending on how large, how many goodies you can add such as bases, spawn points, vehicles, etc. I want to use some bf 1942 maps as inspiration for a few maps i have in mind for battlefront.
Alegis Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 from some screenies you could see, mountains! copying the desertor thing would put too many emphasis on battlefront beeing "inspired" by bf1942
Ice Demon44 Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 I like the enemy fighters thing... I think it would be better to have destroyers or something bombing you from space though...
mastashonuff Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 Maybe you should die from a snowbeast or the sarlacc pit or some other natural predator native to that planet...
yaebginn Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 Episode 3, man. while off topic. I'm gonna see it at midnight on first day. I am dorky enough to dress up in a costume, though. No offense to you costume wearers. EDIT- For me, its actually 300 days until about 2 hours. I hope the limit is like, mountains or something, cause thatd suck to lose tickets just because u wander astray and die because of it.
