OK, so my idea is to have polygons which have soft or loose ground. It would not appear any different graphically, but it would affect movement and physics.
Running would be slowed down, jumps would be lower, no ricochets, and maybe make the soldat slide a little more.
I think this would be good for making sand, snow, mud, and other types of terrain like this. It could have some strategic uses in game.
And maybe have a small graphical effect, like making the soldat kick up some particles of ground as he runs across this type of poly.

Yeah, I like this idea. But shouldn't this be in Mapmaker suggestions and improvements?

It's here because Soldat has to support it aswell, not only the map maker. It's a good idea, would add more feeling to the game.

i definately think its a good idea; but i'd also like to see advantages of certain types of terrain, where the soldier would have like more grip, or a faster turning radius (while being in contact/walking on such terrain)

i think it's a briljant idea

I love the idea!
(Sand traps - Ehhehehehehehehehee)

It's be easy to put in, just the "ice" polygon with reversed effects. I'm all for it

Ice polygon reversed? Whaddyamean?

Soldat still needs liek, 1 way poly's also.

1 way polies a def. must

i like the idea - but what would be (an ie.) of strategic advantage? (i love strategy in games!)

*talks like the dudes from the geniness commercails* brillant!

it would be fun if you could knid of sink...

Mud!

Bouncy bed! Phsics would have to be overhauled, he means reversed like instead of forward momentum, you get resistance from the polygon. Make it so u sink slowly ! and drown

NIce idea!! If this "soft ground" is made on soldat. U can make like ctf_vietnam with the dirt and mound.

i like this idea. i agree with whomever that the soldat should sink a little- if they stand in place for a while. i don't think this would be too hard to implement, either...

Thsi has been suggested as "sticky" polys...adn i likeeeeeeeee ittt!!

HIDE UNDER THE SNOW!!! WOOO and then, Stand up really fast unloading your m79 in a soldier's face!! THAT would be cool.

Affirmative

I like this but I would rather have polys that make you bounce! Boing

Bounce Poly's - Yeah, that'd be funky
Mud Poly's - Would also be interesting to prone in them and kind of sink so you can hide in the mud :D:D:D
1 Way Poly's - My idea : P

they could cushion impact in realistic, so u take less dmg from falling

Like a bouncy bed. thats very nice, if we could make an entire map out of squishy polygons and keep bouncing around.

First of all Icarius, thats been suggested many times before. :)

Second of all, i really like all of these polygon ideas.

very good idea........
