Re: Changes are coming for the artillery

Could limit the 3 second grace period to just artillery strikes.

What'd be nice is if you had 1 second of "free look" time before you spawn. Essentially a first-person camera at your spawn point. You couldn't fly around or anything, but moving the mouse would point you in a direction, and you'd spawn facing that way... that'd help with the "situational unawareness" immediately following spawning, where you're tring to find out where you are and what direction you're facing.

Of course, I'd imagine that's basically impossible

Not impossible. Just impossible to mod as i assume the means to do something like this lies in the hard code of the game.

Interesting thought. I'm sure they could do that, and I don't really see a drawback if it was kept short enough.

And, to answer Luckyshot's worries, it could be 2 seconds of invulnerability in conjunction with 2 seconds of inability to fire or throw grenades or set mines or c4. That would remove the just spawned attacker/defender advantage.

I think there's already a grace period for explosions. There are times when I've spawned on a flag right as a jeep blew up and I'd just go flying through the air without taking damage. Not sure how long it lasts for there.

I think it would be tight if u could pick your spawn place out of the spawn places on the flag.

It would be tight if u could spawn underneath a bed when arty and tanks have u almost surronded. However, u do not have that option and many times die as soon as u spawn.
Instead there are three or four spots in your CB to spawn right? I think it would be cool if u could pick one of those spots. If an APC is blasting the west side of your CB, it would be cool to spawn on the east side.
