No, seriously.. I know vehicles are supposed to be out of the question in soldat. But, consider this for a second:

A tiny scooter that's used like a secondary weapon.
It can only be used once per life. It has a limited amount of fuel. It can't hurt anybody what so ever,you simply scoot through everyone (like running). It's twice as fast as running. It jumps distances, depending on how steap the ramp is. Generally could be used for escaping with the enemy flag.

Of course in DM this "secondary" would be useless, but it doesn't have to replace anything, it could simply be added on.

I would like it, but i wont think it would ever be added. Still i like it. Can you shoot when ur driving with it?

That's a goood point actually.. and the answer is - No.

Also, nobody else should be able to hop onto it with you.

No, no, no and no :)
It is simply useless. Because it would take the fun out of flag keeping/running.

Ok, imagine a battlefield with M79 grenades flying around, corpses lying on the ground, bullets, blood and even more bullets.

A scooter.

Something just doesn't fit in.

I personally love the idea of vehicles in soldat...obviously it'd only work on certain large wide flat maps..

..but just imagine.. Knot zipping along on a tiny whining scooter while being chased by a bi-plane (flown by me of course) while TIR Blade hangs from the wing with one hand, shooting his socom with the other?

..or maybe I could just learn to make my own game..

I guess it would be unfair concidering you can flee with the flag, without bein caught =/

Ok Ok, not a scooter, a scrambler dirt-bike from hell! How about that?

And Blade, didn't I say that there should be a limited amount of fuel? When I say limited, I mean that it should only be able to go for like 5 secs... And I also stated that you should only be able to use it once per life.

Of course, you could shoot out the tyres... [:-mischievous]

The scope of the barret comes in to a worthy cause =)

yes, but could't other people who chose that as a secondary weapone use it and chase after them?

If vechiles aren't going to be added in, why would a scooter. If people in real life, in armies and so on, use vechiles in battle (eg. Humvees) and they don't use scooters, and the creator of a game won't add vechiles, why would he add scooters? Maybe Michal could add some new terrain for maps that make you go faster (eg ice) or an option for gravity and speed you travel at (like the option for how much jetpack).

there is ice you idiot!

Does it make you go faster? Exactly....

Alpha

ice doesn't make you go faster, it makes you slide which inturn makes you go faster, so it isn't the ice making you go faster, it is the less friction :P

^Shutup! He's obviously a n00b but I think that would be good, an option in the map maker, like the amount of jet pack allowed, that controls gravity and the speed you travel. Then you could have a moon level...

MisterX- It wouldn't be too easy to get away with the flag, you'll realize why when I answer Alpha.

Alpha- Of course everyone else can chase you with it.

I think Michal should first fix all the bugs & balance the game before even thing of VEHICLES!

k thx bye

People were complaining that it would be to hard to hit the person driving away with it, i said they could use theres to catch up to them, i must have worded it wrong.

but even if you took yours to catch up with the flagger, you still couldn't shoot him until you got off, and he'd still be zipping away while you fail to gain any ground. Interesting idea, but I don't see how it could really work w/in the game. Oh and the argument about a scooter 'not fitting in'? I'm also having trouble with 'fitting in' jet boots, chainsaws, etc. lol

Sorry Alpha.. I misunderstood you. And Kevith the things you mentioned are the reason why soldat is so much fun.

Don't ask why.. ask why not?
