Covert ops steal other abilities w/ stolen uni?

(Mr. Chris) #1
  1. Have them able to take that classes’ ability to use against them (engy use dynamite & mines, FOs call in friendly airstrikes/artillery, medic use medpacks and revive for team, use mobile mg42 if soldier) It might bring up interesting tactics :drink:
(Wraith2k3) #2

It would just make the covert-ops over powered. Those same “interesting tactics” can be performed by picking the class that has that particular ability. Otherwise, whats the point in having different classes?

(Mr. Chris) #3

maybe a limit on stolen abilities (1 dyno or 3 mines or 2 arty or 1 airstrike)

One difference would be that you would not get to ‘pick’ unless you specifically target a medic because your team needs a medic. The thing that would have to be considered, is if you are seen giving health to the enemy while undercover you loose the uni and the abilities.

That would still make them over powered. Think, being able to sneak into the enemy base (on your own) completely disguised (noone would think twice about an engineer with dynamite in his hands after all) and destroy the objective. There would be no challenge to it. It would just make the Axis teams life much harder.

Covert ops have thier own abilities. They can disguise themselves, lay satchel charges, open team doors, use sniper weapons and smoke grenades, spot mines, and show enemy positions on the command map.

Why make them even more powerful?

Covert ops have thier unique skills, the other classes have thiers.

So instead of Uber soldiers its uber ops?

:banghead:

No thanks if you could steal a soldier uni and then whip out a MG you would be even harder to spot…

covert ops have enough abillities…
and they don’t spot mines often enough as it is!

I am not sying I want these changes, I agree, I would not want to defend against this cvt op, I also agree, they don’t spot mines enough.

The only thing I would like to see as a lvl4 ‘gift’ rather then backstab, a better blending with enviroment, i.e. if you are playing a snow map, your uni turns white, or desert map unii turns sandy. If you were a sniper in the snow, you would not wear a black uni. By just changing the color of the uni, the sniper would be hidden as long as he didn’t move (except for the gun and face), but as in real life, would draw attention when he moved.

I like ET as it is, and would rather it not changed, but if you held a gun to my head and said I had to come up with one change, I this would be it.

I really like this idea.

It would have to be very limited though, and dyno would not be able to destroy main objectives like the depot or at guns, only things like the water pumps, doors, the old city wall, ect.

What would be better than sneaking up behind an enemy mg42 and planting a mine at his feet?

(Riftgarde) #9

I’d still rather have invulnerability to friendly fire at level 4.

What would be better than sneaking up behind an enemy mg42 and planting a mine at his feet?

Stabbing him.

maybe if you stole their primary weapon to but not their abilities

GSX-R750

(TABASCO) #12

I agree, being able to steal someone’s thompson or mp40 whould help the op to fit in better, but not the heavy weapons.

(amazinglarry) #13

Honestly… I think it would be cool if they could bring out the weapon and all the things the other classes have… but not have the ability to use them… kinda like “dummy packs” and stuff… just to give the impression that they’re going to raise someone or give them health packs…

Like you can have the needle, and packs, and dynamite… but you just can’t throw em… kinda like decoy’s.

(Ubiquitous) #14

Yes, when a covert ops steals your pants, he also absorbs your soul, and gains the powers of the underworld. :disgust:

(amazinglarry) #15

Wow that’s a great… wait… worst idea ever…

(Lt. Jones) #16

I’d like for the covert ops to pick up the enemy’s gun along with the uniform. Unless a covert ops steals an enemy covert ops’ uniform it’s painfully obvious who a disguised covert ops is to the other team.

(Sauron|EFG) #17

But which team? The axis medic can only revive axis players, so if I steal his uniform I shouldnt be able to revive allies. Same goes for engies, axis dynamite doesn’t work on the anti-tank guns on Oasis for example. :lookaround:

(This was an odd way of saying that I think it’s a bad idea. :p)

(Zan) #18

Actually, the powers of the underwaist.

([rD]Killjoy) #19

I say just be a smart covert op and steal the right unis. I always go for the field ops when I can’t get another covert. If you take a FO uni, just run around with your smoke grenade, it looks just like the airstrike cannister. Duh!!!

(Rippin Kitten) #20

I steal engie uniforms since my sniper rifle looks kinda like the other teams rifle. Otherwise, pull out your grenade, run into a wall, and look straight down. Most players think you’re either a complete noob or lagged out and won’t give you too much trouble. =)
