Sad state of Battlezone

I haven't been on the forums for a while, but the state of Battlezone is really sad.

Way to victory:
1. Choose a town.
2. Buy it.
3. Go to your opponent without a vehicle and use the v1 to destroy his buildings.
4. Win because your opponent can't get points because you don't have to build buildings.
Hurray.

Also, last time I checked, v2 and v3 both have no building destruction weapon.
Not to forget v1's doesn't need ammo.
Also, what's with the walls? I'd like to just race to the opponent town, not bump into a wall and take a longer route.
Can't you put it back the way it was? This is totally off balance.

BTW: All vulnerable buildings show up as 1x armor, even though some have more than others.

mm, v1 weapon aint supposed to damage buildings - only the bomber should be able to - ill check on that lata.

Also, what's with the walls? I'd like to just race to the opponent town, not bump into a wall and take a longer route.

you can prolly say that about most games. :] why bother goin round the track on mario-kart when you could just go straight to the finish?

thankyers.. i'll fix that tonight too.

Mario Kart is about racing a track.
Battlezone is about blowing up your opponent's buildings, not about the route you take on your way to those buildings.

k, bad example

so.. why aint halflife maps just big empty maps so you can get on with killing each other without all that trouble of having to go round walls and into rooms? :]
the walls give ya somethin to hide behind in a fight and provide some limits to where an attack can come from, allowing teams to set defenses in the appropriate places etc.
anyway.. :]

i've just added a new scoring mode so that teams without at least 2 buildings cannot win the round - with the other fixes mentioned above that should make things a lil fairer methinks?
server will be upgraded lata tonight.

Isn't that a little bit of a contradiction?

Not really.
Quote 2 assumes that you've went through the trouble of creating a vehicle and ammo.

I don't like the walls...
got some collision problem... they're actually bigger then they are so i can actually blow up if i fly over it and if i drve into it i have to explode half of the time./
