    The Tactical Insertion and Bouncing Betty would be a useful equipment in the game.
    The tactical insertion would let you spawn wherever you place it. It could be used as a button and when you click it you spawn where you are stepped. The bouncing betty is like a claymore. When an enemy approaches it jumps and explodes. The bouncing betty could he a wooden pressure plate with a different texture, when someone steps on it explodes or if it is shot with a gun. Tell me if you like these ideas.

    Suggested multiple times already. But I will let mods decide what to do. Meh on the idea, I have no opinion for it.

    Betty sounds OP and Tactical insert could be used for so many exploits. :/ In theory the ideas are cool but they could/would be OP. Idea hasn't been brought up in a bit so lets let it go through.

    I have suggested tactical insertion on old forum. Would be great to have more tacticals as of now there is only two.
    I am not to thrilled by bouncing betty's but it is an idea:smile:.

    Hrm... tactical could be used for exploits... yeah. But bouncing could be like in World at War. when stepped takes a second to explode so you can run away of it.

    In my suggestion thread I thuraly explained the tactical insertion so as to limit its OP potential. It can be made to be a normal and function item.

    tactical insertion just makes it too easy to camp or spawn camp, but i would like a player detecting explosive; i just dont want it to be really over powered.

    The betty sounds fun, but the tactical insertion...? No way in hell is that going to be approved. Too many exploits.

    Name three exploits that this hardly defined tactical insertion post would yield.

    I like the idea, the tac. insert would be nice, but can have some flaws. The betty sounds cool, for like infected, or CTF.

    spawn camping is the only one i can think of, he did say that you would respawn where you stood when you pressed the button so you couldnt use it to exit a map. there really arent a ton i can think of.

    In my thural explanation one way to combat spawn camping was a period of rest (Can not move.) when placing a tact and a no fire time to prevent place die respawn get the payback. To nullify getting out of map you can only place the tact directly under your players character.

    Thats true, you could use this to get to that spot where you could be out of the map/ or in a impossible spot to hit. Spawn camping is a no-brainer, who wouldn't love to get a high KDR in a match to level up? Not me if all you do is camp, so there are those few flaws.

    Read the post above yours :sunglasses:.
    If someone spawn camps near an enemy base the opposing team will eventual "gang" up and kill the camper.

    Not if the coders code it in right to balance the seemingly OPness.

    I like the idea of a bouncing betty. Would add a nice little twist to the game. The tac. I am not sure about though. Meh. I'll leave this one to the staff.

    Tactical Insertions would be a one way trip to out-of-the-map land. Unless orange451 made it so could only place the tactical insertion on the ground under you, or like you shift and it puts it on the block you are standing on, then no there is no way in hell that it will be approved. Bouncing Betty's would be a mobile version of C4, and C4 is bad enough.

    Of course tactical insertion would be made so that you can only placed under your feet that is the only way this item would get made into mc-war. Even if no one suggested the tactical insertion I have faith that they would make it placeable only directly below you, it is common sense.

    or when you place it it uses something along the lines of the already vannilla command /spawnpoint @p @p this sets the players spawnpoint to where they currenty sland. that way if it was placed out of the map it would still keep the player where they stood when it was placed.
