A Race

Speeders on Remagen is also good because you have long stretches and sweeping curves.

i'm down like a fat kid on a see-saw. does anyone have any input on when we might be able to get this going?

I would like to see Highway tampa as a northern strike map, (yeah duh, its a desert) but it would be awesome with speeders on those hills, wow think of the jumps and how fast you could cover the map. :9

That is a good idea.
there are a limited # of FAV's and the other people could film it.
These people can also be refferee's.
it would be cool if we could but transports are faster than FAV's but we can do it.
If it will be fun, help TTP, and be a challendge Ill do it. Lets just wait for the pratice server to get up.

Read the last line. That'll be the big factor, but with the current success of the new server maybe it'll be soon?

I agree this is a wild and fun idea..In fact, there was a custom map for BF1942 that was exactly that, a huge race track, called I think, Jeep Race. It had some huge jumps, a few flags, and a whole goddamn motor pool of jeeps for each team, and was a riot to play on, though by the time I got the map, very few servers were running it, and I got to play it only a few times with anyone else in the game. In fact I think I still have a copy of it saved on a cd somewhere. And I don't know of any custom maps available for 2142, but if there's a map editor available, some smart cookie surely could make one, eh?

Based on watching that map and how it was done I'd have to say pilums are out. One pilum hit will put an end to a FAV. That means the guy in the lead will be able to kill everyone, which doesn't seem like fun race. I'd recommend a support in back seat using the basic weapon and emp nades. With another support refilling him with ammo. The basic weapopn can do damage to a jeep without one shot killing killing it, plus theres the lucky chance you hit the driver. Which means the 2nd passanger will now have to drive, which will keep things fun and long. Also I don't think we should allow shooting until they hit there 1st check point, it would be gay see off the line shoot out. Just my ideas to have a longer and more fun race.

I would agree with you here Tenrou had I not tried this out with Braddoc already. And let me tell you, as the engineer that was in the back seat, you can't hit jack while that little car is bumping around the map. It is like riding on a mobile paint mixer. If anyone blew anyone up with a pilum they would deserve their props.

I just want see a long race, if the jeep blows the whole team is out race. If you use a support weapon a team can still be blown up, or the driver can most likley die still leaving the team to race. More racers longer race to be had which is more fun.

Anyone know how to get the Crash Course achievements working? Some of them work, but the more time consuming ones don't seem to work. The hunter pounce 25 damage doesn't work, win a game of versus doesn't work, nor pull a boomed survivor. And yeah, I've tried several times, did em properly and they still don't count as an achievement.
