Re: Coop coming to BF2??

The co-op addition is exciting for what it means to the small crowd of afternoon and late-night players. More bodies, even AI dummies help at times like these.

This ii true. I've been thinking on the co-op thing and it would be a good tool to use for practice. Throw a real person in with the bots to give it a bit of unpredictability that you get with real people.

Just curious, how would you implement that? What rule would the code use?

If you look at the release bhack posted, they explain that you won't be able to spawn on the SL if you join a squad while dead. You first have to spawn once at a real spawn point. It sounds perfect to me.

So basically one would have to suicide and take the respawn delay penalty. (It's been awhile since I played BF2. Is there extra penalty for a suicide?)

**perry** · 04-26-2006, 01:41 AM

You lose a ticket when you suicide.. A couple squads doing that a couple times a match...

**icky** · 04-26-2006, 12:17 PM

Yes, so the swarm of attackers becomes a rather slow wave of ticket loss.

Hm... it just occurred to me that it still isn't ideal. If the SL dies and leaves, everyone else in the squad will still be able to spawn on the new SL. It still severely limits the advantage of shuffling squads. The SL who leaves is going to have to spawn somewhere other than with his squad, and re-uniting the squad will be costly.
