Future assault courses?

(Kirtap101) #1

Do you reckon that their will be more assault courses in the future? i have been playing the new assault course a lot, it is surprisingly fun.

Just an idea, but it would be awesome if their were different courses for each merc, or merc type.

a medic course could involve running through a battlefield as aura, dodging enemy fire, whilst reviving teammates that have fallen on a battlefield.

a tank course could be for fragger, or maybe rhino having to tank some damage, and then run to an aura station, and then have to clear bots as they enter the room.

A support specialist one already exists with skyhammer.

A recon course could be where yu have to run to different spots on a map, spot enemies and then take them out with clean headshots. headshots could give more points and their could be an achievement or something that rewards you for getting only headshots.

these are just ideas, but if people have ideas please post below.

just to be on the safe side, i will tag @RazielWarmonic in this, just in case she cares. probs not, but hey, we will see :slight_smile:

@Kirtap101
your too kind, my friend

edit: they also need one for sniping imo. to teach them that they cant hang back and get kills like in other FPS, but they gotta be aggressive and push up. Maybe have the british voice guy say something like: THROW DOWN THE FUCKING HEART BEAT SENSOR! that will make the noobs remember xD

I have the feeling too that this isn’t going to be the last assault course we’ll see. Idea is brilliant, as tutorial is to teach the very basics in more “explaining” environment and then you got course to put those things into testing, seeing a rough skill level of yours in terms of movement. Not really aim-heavy course as targets are stationary but least time-pressure also tries to get newbie into the mindset of not ADS:ing too much.

I really like how course shows walljump mechanics without being super boringly yadda-yadda rambling about it; you instead just have to deal with it and trial & error it out. Also momentum mechanic is present in form of ammo packs, after clearing course couple of times even densest motherhumper must notice how packs fly further more speed they have.

I really hope that more assault courses for specific mercs will come out. So far, I like playing the assault course a lot and at the moment play it more than I play actual matches.

That sounds like a nice idea. But please no Rhino, the point here is to do it as quick as possible and Rhino is a slow merc, but Fragger sounds like a good idea.
And as for snipers, it should be a Vassili with MOA and only headshot kills will count, bodyshots will do no damage

I would like a race mode in an assault course, where you and your friends can race each other for the fastest time together!

Co-Op / Competitive Time trial courses. All that needs to be added in my humble opinion.

And once there is an assault course for each merc, make it a requirement to pass the course in gold or better in order to play the merc in ranked.
