Ambulances
« on: December 20, 2011, 11:20:04 AM »
I think it would be good, especially for the younger players, if you get shoot down, an ambulance gets you, if your mech didn't explode.
if you successfully returned to base, you'll loose no life.

what do you think about that?

maybe there could be as well rules as legging, not to shoot an ambulance....

no, i'm not joking :D
i was a medic in the bundeswehr :D
why they are not recognized here?
also in quake wars enemy territory, there was a real use for a medic :)

maybe equipped with a tag laser and going out in a apc or an modified harasser, it could make quite fun:)

this would enforce teamplay :)

maybe even with the enemy, if you whish to make a temporarily armistice to get your best warriors with most money out :D

It's called an APC, it's already in the game. However you would need someone to drive the APC to pick you up.....

yes we go out an apc, what i'm thinking of is getting the shoot down pilots out of their mechs.

this could happen, for example if you are shoot down, and you didn't explode, you can choose to respawn, or just to hold out and call for apc.

if your mech is shoot down, and you didn't manage to get out of the mech until it died, call for the APC!

so you won't loose your money, and don't get a negative entry in the stats.

maybe we could do it like this: the medic comes in a harasser and pulls you out of the mech and reanimates you :D

I never lost money when I died...

Also... if you REALLY care about your K/D ratio, maybe this game is not for you?


Seriously, what would you gain from NOT respawning at the base?
-> nothin.

I don't know what to make of this fellow. He strikes me as one of hose crazy hobos on the streets who smell and shout incomprehensible gibberish at you only they understand, except he is on the internet.
Ghiest: I suggest trying to control your forum torrettes with copious amounts of weed.

KingLeerUK: Right now playing puretech is like riding a bike without a seat; you're putting yourself through some unnecessary discomfort and everyone else on the trail is looking at you funny.

If the mech gets destroyed before you eject, your dead. Since it goes boom and you get turned into ash. If you eject out of a mech before it blows up, then you are just a BA that can walk around and shoot people. I do not understand any other possible circumstances where an ambulance would ever be needed. Nor will it ever be, as I have already said an APC does the job just fine.

Or you just sucide/rush into the nearest enemy and die so you can respawn stright away.....

I do not understand any other possible circumstances where an ambulance would ever be needed. Nor will it ever be, as I have already said an APC does the job just fine.
The idea is probably that unless you are headshotted or the reactor goes critical, you might survive the destruction of your 'Mech. But instead of popping out of the wreckage as BA you would be in "wounded" state and unable to move (or could only move at a slow pace, weapons disabled) and you would have to be evacuated by the ambulance to a field hospital (the mainbase where you could repair your BA).

That said, there's probably a reason why no FPS or tactical shooter has this kind of gameplay mechanics. Granted, medi-kits or medic class does exist in more infantry-oriented games, but even that is taken care of by the auto-healing function of the BA itself, so they have no place in MWLL either.

The only situation where this would even remotely make sense would be a gamemode where you only have one "life", but even then, by the time you got into the "hospital" and back to the field, the match would be long over. Not to mention that you would have to find a player who would be a dedicated APC/ambulance player, and assume that players wouldn't find creative ways to take out the ambulance without hurting their score.
