LMFAO!! @ those defending tunnel beacons!
The only counter to a laid beacon is to disarm it. If disarming is not possible due to an unintended consequence of the map's design, then it's a glitch.
Those who say "well, fight thru the tunnels and disarm it!" don't make me laugh. It also has nothing to do with which team is better. First off, there's part of the map terrain on the way! This automatically makes the beacon unfair...not to mention the ticking down seconds of the beacon.
Tunnel beaconing is completely different to laying a beacon right next to a building and covering it with a gang of ramjets. Now that's fair. It's also fair if there's a APC covering the beacon as well! But it IS NOT fair when there's half of a map's hill covering it lol. If anyone can't see the sense in that, then I blame it on TAPS Syndrome.

So pretty much the nuke/ion cannon shouldn't do damage inside the tunnels, but only to the area on the outside, e.g. buildings, vehicles, and infantry. Makes sense to me.

Technically the nuke/icn should just do damage where it first hits some mesh. So in tunnels it would be somewhere on the hill. In a building it will first hit the building, and thus damage the building most, and a lot less than the inf on the ground.
|
Some fan-made maps use sky domes, don't know if they're collision items, but if they are beacons will never work, they'd probably only try to damage the sky dome.

What you linked to was very interesting, I vaguely remember hearing of that theorum before when I was at school, it would clearly work and would be an inexpensive way to do it.
However, to create an accurate representation of the 3D shape (being the tunnels) you would need to collect many coordinates using level edit, I wonder whether it would actually end up being more work?

I'm not convinced there's anything here that needs "fixing". It's only "unfair" and "cheap" (barf) if the playerbase doesn't learn how to deal with it, and they'll never be forced to if this "bug" is patched out of existence. C&C_Field could use a bit of shaking up, anyway.

If Westwood Studios thought tunnel beacons were a glitch they would have patched it. Since all developers extensively test their products. Hence again... Strategy.
|
Blue hell is a strategy now?
|
I blue hell myself whenever someone is about to kill my tank.
|
You do know that on the server, the tank is still there eh?
|
That is not always the case, beings if a player gets blue hell'd on the RP2 server and they press the key that forces you out of a vehicle the server sends a message saying, "PlayerName was killed by jumping out of a vehicle at (Random huge number here) miles per hour."
Not saying this always happens, but some blue hells are indeed server side, beings the server is the only one calculating the speeds of vehicles in RP2, thus the blue hell has to be its end otherwise the player would simply get out of the vehicle server side and live.

Who cares about tunnel beacons? It's not that hard to disallow it within certain servers...besides, it gives moderators an excuse to actually moderate now-a-days
