Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Previews and Interviews

Do you mean planting on the front of the tank as it goes dowhill like in Gold Rush, so that the dyna will blow the barrier? Never thought of that, and I’ve played ET for a long time.

(MuffinMan) #142

that was a very common tactic actually - and by far not the weirdest one :wink:

(Wils) #143

You can do that with secondary objectives like base gates, which take damage from any explosive weapon. We don’t let players do that with primary objectives that specifically require an explosive charge, for two reasons:

Planting a charge on a primary objective sends a message to all clients informing them of the fact. This lets players know to defend it if they’re on the attacking team, or to go and disarm it if they’re defending (duh). If you planted outside the range of the objective and drove in at the last minute, there’d be no warning* and you’d have no chance to disarm it.

Secondly, if the objective already requires an explosive charge, it’s considered too hard a target to be taken out with anything else - it needs a concentrated blast on a weak point.

*aside from a husky trundling in at 60mph with a bloody great explosive charge on the front - but if you were that close to an objective youd have disarmed the plant already

Boats in game I shall be?
I from Russia, at us am not so advanced network system, on this we play with boats. If boats are not present that is any chance of that that there will bring in them

(nUllSkillZ) #155

No bots only multiplayer.
May be bots will be added by a mod.

(Tron-) #156

Wouldn’t be so sure, it looked that way but then in the Id Q&A it was accidentally let slip that they recently hired a guy who created a good ET bot to create bots for ET:QW.

So if Id are to be believed we may be seeing bots after all. :slight_smile:

(Nail) #157

Maleficus from “Fritz Bot” was recently added to the tapir corral I believe

(nUllSkillZ) #158

Bots could be for RTCW2.
