Magnet Gun!

[The_Eliminator]

How many times have you found yourself without an APC sitting under the enemy titan with its shields down?

How many time shave you podded from you own titan just to lag in between and go completely off course missing the titan?

NOT ANYMORE!

I was thinking today about an expansion idea or just an added feature to bf2142, how good would it be to have a high powered magnet gun that could be shot great distances (but could not kill) allowing a player on the ground to attack himself to the titan and pull himself up. It would provide a much better stealthy way of getting on the titan than hearing the pods or gunship land. A new area to the titan could also be added, an underside vent system that would allow easier access to the titan. and create a bit more diversity to the attacking points of a titan assault.

What do you think?

Everyone would have one and apcs would be rendered useless.

APC's would not be rendered useless at all. You would still need the APC to get to the top vents which would be a much better area to pick off the enemy.

The magnet gun may also be an ability unlock instead so you would have to work before getting it.

You mean like a grappling hook gun? :p

I think it might be nifty. The only problems involved are the distance the grapple may have to travel, and how you would get onto the Titan if you just grappled up dead center on it. :P

The dead center part would be the underside vent as this would allow you to get up onto the titan this way.

To get onto the back you would have to be accurate and shoot at the very edge (or have a grappling hook effect) and then climb up from there.

not to crash on your idea it is a good one

but i see a minor/major disadvantage to it

imagine having to climb that whole distance (think the time it takes to climb a latter) just to get up there and then to be APMed the instant you get into the entrance vent....i coulda APCed my way on the ship and died at least 2-3 times by then...

the only answer to that would be grappling hook with a batman or star wars episode 5 grappling hook that would mechanically zip you up there with no climbing effort

just imho but good idea though

[Col.Krust]

zipwire from one titan to the other ftw.

[Aedus]

Maybe there could be an new entrance on the underside of the titan which you could do this to, but you would still need the APC's to get to the normal entrances

I like the idea yes, its nice

Hmmm, perhaps it could exit into the cargo bay behind the large crates, in the large "upper" deck inside that has the entrances to the upper two consoles and the core room?

This is going to sounds corny, but it would be like the batman gun, when you hit the trigger it zooms you up to its level.

[frshhh]

Ive got an even BETTER idea!

How about jet packs - ala BF1942 secret weapons... as an assault unlock.

With some kinda titan-boarding-boost, that would give you one big burst, launching you straight up - the same hight as an apc pod, and when it reaches the "top" you'd be able to deploy your parachute and glide onto the titan.

[Rick Astley]

Quite nice frshhh. But wouldn't that give a go to bunny hoppers?

[Arcalane]

Just increase the recharge time a lot and make it so you have to recover a bit when landing. Also make the minimum jump level quite high and bingo. ;)

[[gT]Seb565]

It would definatly be nice to have more entrances into the titan I give a thumbs up to this idea.0

Jet packs would be cool. Space station level would be nice to. This is supposed to be the year 2142 but for some reason it doesnt feel futuristic at all.

[Ecko]

Jetpacks should defo be in the game. Maybe in an expasion a new class will be made that can use a jetpack among other things. Base weapon for this class should be a SMG/Shotty. A sniper/Rifleman or even MG would be far over powerd with a JP.

[mrking]

stupid. this ins't Quake 3 grapple server

[Beerman]

I miss the grappling hook :(

[sinus123]

Nice idea! Put my name on the list ;-)

[variablek]

now what would be really cool

just like Luke Skywalker in episode 5 where he uses his grapple hook to hang from the bottom of the AT-AT walker

but what you do is you get all of your teamates to grapple to the bottom of the gunship so then when he goes flying off you all swing around and shoot your at rockets at all the armor on the map

now that would be sweet

Until he lands.

Thumbs up man. Possibly an assault unlock that could be fired from the under-barrel laucher? It sticks to the inside of the vent, then you attach it to some device on your belt that pulls you up the rope at high speed, and just like that you're in the titan.

[NorthernMonkey]

jay and silent bob style (in mall rats)

[drunken sailor]

it would be awsome like the storm troopers repealing from and AT-AT in star wars.

[M*A*S*H]

They really just ought to copy tribes. Tribes 2 was awesome; vengeance added sp, a brilliant grapple gun and had it's mp killed by lack of support. Would be nice if some of the great ideas/mechanics from that series could find a more mainstream audience in bf. Jetpack skiiing ftw.
