Just had a play on this and must say really like it !!! - was very surprised love it great job on this !!!
 
What I like is the fact you can play it with great fun with just 2 players :)  and it is different from other game types :) 
 
Couple of bugs I think but nothing major !! 
 
Noticed the spawn points can be interesting as some times you end up on the other side of the map to where you started with the tank but can see how that would work  once you get so far with the Tank - and aslo kind of helps stop players camping if you see what I mean so its not a major problem for me Smile
 
I noticed once I had the Bazooka and shot rounds  I could not reload going back to the same Bazooka also perhaps if possible would like to keep my Machine gun and not loose it. when I get Bazooka........
 
Mmm perhaps have the Bazooka from start but have to get rounds from the cabinet ???
 
Do Nades damage the Tank - didnt seem to ?
 
Some suggestions may be so that players can add mines to road/tank to  blow up the tank but opposite team can defuse them Smile but its well balanced at present for both sides so thats important to keep the balance right........
 
But yup love it I will be playing this !!
 
 
 

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again

 

 

Cheers

Cheers Heatsinkbod!
Glad u enjoyed the gamemod. laugh
There are some issues and bugs that will only be detected after more players play it because is different when u play / test with 2 players and with crowded server.
 
Noticed the spawn points can be interesting as some times you end up on the other side of the map to where you started with the tank but can see how that would work  once you get so far with the Tank - and aslo kind of helps stop players camping if you see what I mean so its not a major problem for me Smile
About the spawns i haven't tested all of them because major tests have been with 2 players and some spawns may fail to activate. frown
Actually when the tank reaches checkpoint "Tank has breached the enemy lines", spawns advance to escort team and to opposite team they recede.
 
Spawns cant be too close to tank otherwise it would be easier for escort team, actually u will find the spawns away when tank is almost reaching the checkpoint that is the harder part for escort team, the escorting team needs to take different path to get enemy by surprise and reach the tank. After tank reaches the chekpoint, the same happens to defense team, they will spawn way back and need to get closer to tank to destroy it as the tank gets further spawns also get closer.
 
But i will check better the spawns i bet those are not entirely suitable to a crowded server.
 
I noticed once I had the Bazooka and shot rounds  I could not reload going back to the same Bazooka also perhaps if possible would like to keep my Machine gun and not loose it. when I get Bazooka........
The idea is if u choose to pick up rocket u need to lose your main weapon and u have 2 rounds of rockets after u be empty, u need to open the rockets cabinet again and pick up new rocket with more 2 rounds.
 
About the previous weapon u had, if u want to recover it, u need to use the rockets as quick as possible and go back to place where u drop the weapon and drop rocket and grab mg/rifle/shotgun again that was left on the floor, before it desapears.
 
Has it is an auto drop thing when u open the cabinet, u can simplify it by dropping the weapon first on a place u want and grab rocket shoot the rounds and go back and grab weapon on floor again. Also u can grab any teammate's weapon that is on the floor when they die.
 
That is also a good idea to get rocket together with other weapons when it is a 1v1 or 2v2 battle. With more players i think defense team would become too strong with everyone with mg's and rockets.
 
But all ideas are welcome. This is a beta version and therefore all changes will meet the requirements of all MOHAA players .
 
Note: There are always 2 or more rocket cabinets on every maps.
 

Do Nades damage the Tank - didnt seem to ?

It is purposeful, otherwise escort team wouldn't have a change against rockets and nades destroying tank. I even reduce to 2 nades per player.
 
Some suggestions may be so that players can add mines to road/tank to  blow up the tank but opposite team can defuse them Smile but its well balanced at present for both sides so thats important to keep the balance right........
 That is an good idea and possible to add, using elgan's mines mod with it, that could be and option that  any server admin can had it with this mod. Mod is compatible with Admin Pro.
So think it is possible, but need to test it. Anyway I think it will be necessary  two mines to explode it.wink
 
Heatsinkbod I really appreciate you took your time to test it and that u enjoyed the gametype.
 
Actually my intention is to give a new gameplay to this wonderful community, something fresh to revive MOHAA.smiley
 
 
Hope to see u all mohaa friends playing it. Bet it will be alot of fun moments playing this new gametype.
