New Obj Types [Brainstorm]

[INF3RN0]

What did everyone think of the plane objective in Brink where you had to gather fuel from various locations and top the fuel tank? Totally reminds me of L4D2 as well with the racecar, but how about something along those lines. A broken car/helicopter/tank, need to gather the parts from various locations and use them to fix the vehicle… trouble is the enemy can sneak in and remove the parts which sends them back. The defence need to decide if it’s worth spreading manpower between all of the parts, stick with one or 2 that have the best defence, or concentrate in undoing the hard work of the opposite team and remove the parts while they’re out looking for the others.

That sounds pretty cool actually. The map would need to be very well designed so that the defense would more than often split up amongst the obj points and wouldn’t always just sit at the delivery. I also like the idea that they can reverse the process, but then it would need to be moderately difficult. Again a nice idea.

An idea I had back in Brink that could work here also was that on the last stage the objective is an AI controlled gunship you have to fight for whatever reason. Perhaps you could add in constructible turrets you can use and such that can be taken down by the defence and every now again it lands for a few moments to give the defensive engineers a chance to repair it a little.

Further to that idea how about a gunship flying overhead trying to drop ‘something important’ to a designated area in the map where it can land safely. The gunship would fly relatively slow for a gunship, perhaps because it’s flying between high rise buildings and has to take it steady, I dunno. The gunship can defend itself to a small extent with on board weapons but relies more on the attacking team to protect it from fire from the defence side.

When it lands the attacking side have a doc run to secure the ‘something important’. However if the defence can bring the gunship down before that happens it crash lands, depending on where about in the map it is taken down it will drop at pre-determined spot in that area. Once brought down the roles are switched and the defence are now on the attack and have to secure the ‘something important’ to their own drop off point in the map.
