update...

These have been suggested in server ideas, and most people thought it would be a bad idea. Too easy to steal the flag, or when you die as a zombie you spawn behind the humans in the camping spot, etc.

 

We were talking about these and I think they'll do no good. They will glitch out of the map and go to places where they are not mean't to be, they will also start spawn camping.

 

Wow, didn't know tactical insertions would be added. I don't play Cod, so can someone fill me in the basics of what a tactical insertion does?

 

When a player activates a tactical insertion, in the game Call Of Duty, wherever they place / activate it, is where they will respawn upon their next death.

 

Well, according to what Greenpeas said, the tactical insertion has its pros and cons:

Pros
You can get in enemy territory more easily. This will be helpful if an enemy team camps at a location.

Cons
You won't be able to get rid of a camper since their spawn point will be set to that location. Maybe make the tactical insertion a one time use where you're standing once activated? Basically, if you get killed again after using the tactical insertion, you'll spawn back at the default spawn point.

 

As in you only get to use it once per game?

 

Your idea for the tactical insertion is how it works in normal cod.

 

Apparently, you keep spawning there until someone destroys the tactical insert. Perhaps have it only work once? That could balance it out a little.

 

A definite con would be the ability to boost kills. One player will stand there using the tactical insert, while one player repeatedly kills him. Easy kills, easy nuke, not fun. On the pros side, it will definitely bring more funds to the server, and it would be useful in infect and CTF. I don't know... I don't see this ending well.

 

If you make it so that you could only use it once per game, that would balance it out as some people said above.
However, if you make it so that he respawns where he placed the tactical insertion until someone destroys it, that's a little too OP in my opinion.

 

I'm sure they could make it hard to abuse, like making it take a couple of seconds to deploy.
The big problem I see with it is people getting their friends to boost levels, since that's the main issue with it in CoD.

EDIT: Actually, the "recent kills" list on profile pages could make it really easy to spot boosters. If you think someone's boosting and you look them up on here, you could see if their last 30 kills or so are on the same four people.

 

as greanpeas said that is true.
Maybe they cant be used in infect or ctf.
Why not`?

 

It would be cool, to get closer to the enemy. Unfortunately, people can abuse and glitch, and campers will camp your spot. I don't think it will help do anything.

 

I think that when you place them you should have to not take damage/move for 3 seconds and then the command /spawnpoint [playername] [sameplayername] would run. this would set their spawn where they are to prevent glitching.

 

if they made it a donor item only and only had it so that u had to pay $10 for it then it would be balanced and i would love it. also i liek the idea for only having one for a whole game

maybe we could have a mod/admin ask Orange to code it so that you can place it a certain distance away from a flag/ enemy spawn.

 

Or you could ask him, via a server idea thread. I'm predicting that like all donor items, the tactical insert will be receiving a few balancing buffs/nerfs.
