Thread: Sandbox Gamemode

  1. #1

    Sandbox Gamemode

    I just finished reading the forum post about folks clamoring for new content. As far as content I have a wonderful idea, CG created a wonderful large map for the Drill Camp and currently it isn't being used for much. We would love to have simple editing tools to create our own points of contention and scenarios. This would increase replay value of the game by a lot.

    We understand that the Drill Camp is for drill so I recommend creating an exact copy of the Drill Camp with both Union and Confederates included and call it sandbox mode or something. We already create our own events on the Drill Camp map because we enjoy but unfortunately we can only use our imagination because of the lack of these tools. We've even created our own custom map of the Drill Camp map to show the potential for different scenarios. Hopefully you all like this idea and can improve upon it.

    Love this idea, but I think you and I know the answer from the devs....

    Wow, nice map! I see lots of possible skirmishes, platoon size, in different uniforms. 1 spawn, last man standing wins. Rinse and repeat. 3 or four such matches in nearby locations, get shot in one, you can wait your match to end or go play another match.
    Is friendly fire possible on those drill camp maps?
    Maybe even a sort of mini-campaign, a series of such matches along a set line (capture points if you will). The team that advances 5 wins....wins
    Or, a sort of wargame: 3 objectives, each minute being held gives 1 more spawn to the team. How to proceed? Hold one with the entire force? Split? Charge the objectives in succession with hopefully overwhelming force?
    Or, the best shooters, commando style, picking on the soldiers camping somewhere? No objective, lone wolf or squad, don't matter, secure the camp or any other sizeable area by all means available. On one hand skill, on the other numbers. A twist: protect the congressman. Even better, protect the congressman on his voyage across the map. On one side a sizeable force able to maintain a protective perimeter on the move. On the other, sharpshooters (wouldn't call them assassins) trying their best to eliminate the man. Again, 1 spawn each. Periodic stops at the various villas along the way, allowing the pursuing force to stage attacks from all directions. Respawn to initial levels after every 3 locations left behind or by public agreement. Wargame is won when congressman is killed or escorted safely out. Yes, this sounds good. Any objective that involves randomness and surprise sounds good.

    One image is worth 1000 words, and that one sure got me dreamin'!

    Mr.Hinkel if what I'm asking for is too much of a tall order can we at least get the ability to toggle on friendly fire on our server for the drill camp? Of course also the ability to turn friendly fire punishment on and off. Give me that and I'll be very happy. Thank you!

    I think that's a great idea! My regiment also like to explore and use different parts of the drill camp and I know while we make do with what we have, we would love this option

    I was hoping we might have gotten this back when Drill Camp was the only mode. I think its a great idea.
