    So when I was watching some YouTube BO2 clips, I realized that, hey, there's no tactical insertion in mc war. And that's why I'm here! So if you don't know what the tactical insertion is, it's a tactical (duh), that you place down and when you die, you spawn where you placed it.

    Usage: 1.

    Item to be textured: brewing stand or flower, (make sure to code it so you can place it on any block instead of just dirt).

    Pros: good for not running back to a good spot to hold.

    Cons: people might camp near it until you spawn and "spawn" kill you. They can also disable it/break it by punching it.

    Cost: $1, or 75 credits.

    Now, if it were too op like, say, you place it in the enemy spawn. Maybe perhaps a health lowering if spawned on?

    So, that's it!

    Bye!

    Meh, I am undecided about this. I think it's a cool idea, but I don't think that it is that useful to people. I would rather have my other tactical rather than this.

    You know I get mad when I have to walk all the way back sometimes.

    This basically sums it up. I don't think that many people would have this over another tactical, as all it does is save a little bit of time. Also I don't think that you should be able to buy it with credits, or if you can then make it more expensive.
    No I did not know this. I am fine with walking back, and I assume that most people are as well.

    I did not know this. I for one am fine with walking around the map, and would rather have something other that this is my tactical slot. This is MY opinion however, I know that yours will be different.

    What if it was that you could have the tac insert and another tactical? And about fine with walking back, what if there isn't much time left to get back or want to get sweet revenge fast?

    I think I've got a way to make this work:
    -You can only place it in a limited distance from your spawn. This prevents cheap flag steals in CTF and spawn-camping.
    -You can't throw it, only drop it, to prevent OOM glitching(throwing distance=0).
    -It can be a killstreak that can be used only once, then it must be unlocked again.

    I don't really like this idea because if you get right next to enemy spawn and lay one down, you can just keep placing it down every time they die and can just spawn camp :/

    Hmmm, not a bad idea at all, as for destroying them, you can destroy them in BO2 as well so I don't see it as a con, and it could be really useful for ctf/domination.

    Con- On Infect, Place it in a place where a ton of people are camping and suicide, SO MUCH XP.

    Wouldn't that just be a new form of glitching? If so, then it would probably be bannable.

    I know for a fact that Orange has coded this. (He has used it on me before.)
    It was horridly over-powered, so I doubt this will be added.

    If I throw it balcony on summit, then I can backstab kids who spam their guns in the walkway?

    Or, instead of a lowered health count on respawn, the tactical insertion could produce a 2 block high red/green beacon beam (color based on the team.) This is actually more the real CoD tactical insertions and makes it easier to spot them out.

    I think it's too OP.
    1. People can easily camp other spawn
    2. People can go OOM with it by placing it on the edge or reaching the floor that's OOM
    3. Price for it is too low and it Sshould be a donation item IF it were to be added
    4. In infect, zombie can spawn right where all that blues are if they get close enough

    Tactical Insertions will be added into the new MCWar.

    I'm suddenly scared. The one you used on us on the test server was extremely OP, and you can get out of map by using it.
