Different Convoy Idea

PipeBombGK1 · 07-13-2006

I just played a Blackwoods Demo for the first time in a long time and after I saw the train I thought of a different type of convoy.

Heres my Idea. I thought that the Terrorists have to protect a freight train moving through the map at a slow speed. The Terrorists can win by having the train safely extracted or by having the Seals eliminated.

The Seals can win by going into the train and planting 5 C4's on a selected crate in one of the 5 cars, by eliminating the Terrorists, or by moving the train by turning the switches that are along the track to Seal Spawn 1 and cannot turn around.

The boxes are placed randomly in different cars each round so that a different plan must be taken to breach the train. So for example the crate is in the second car for one round, but in the next round they are in the fifth car.

For the second way for the Seals to work the Seals can select 2 spawns in order to get a switch in order to turn it into a more Seal oriented area. But at the same time the Terrorists have the same option, but they can turn it into a more Terrorist oriented area. The Seals must get both switches in order to win.

AT-4's, M2's and, any M203's do not blow up the train!

Lol, hell of an idea. Seems a bit complicated though.

I was expecting something really bad, but that is actually a very nice idea and well thought out. Call Zipper and ask for it. Just say pleaaaaaaaaase.

That'd be pretty ****ing cool. Train moves at a slow speed yeah, terrs can choose to spawn:

At the train's starting point
At the destination
In the middle

SEALs can spawn at their starting point somewhere, near the middle (maybe with a vehicle?!?!?) and spawn3 for them would be nearest to the destination, so SEALs can try and take it over and hold it down.

I think the 5 C4's on the train is a bit much, IMO it should be 2 per boxcar. 203s would do stuff, but not much, same with nades. AT4s would do the trick though.

There should be a tank cannon on one of the boxcars of the train. If any of you have seen the move Enemy at the Gates, they get on to a train and the front part of the train has a tank cannon on it. like this:

Kinda, but only on one boxcar, not the entire thing, and since this is the front of the train, it can't be destroyed. Because if it could, all seals would do is go for that then the train is dead. They can't destroy the front, only the other boxcars, but if they destroy all the boxcars they (seals) win, so that way even if the train makes it to the destination, if it only has the front left the terrs lose.

It would be a kickass idea though, for sure.

SEALs could have an option to "blow (or dismantle) tracks" (with c4 maybe) kind of like blowing the bridge in crossroads in s2. They can blow up the tracks, and if the train reaches there, it gets stopped. BUT! The terrs have the option of going to it and holding x and "repair tracks". Man that'd be ****ing awesome.

That would be awesome, riding through the map on the train.... wow. Such a good idea. I'd love to just ride along the train shooting out of it.

Yeah it would be a great idea, but it would be such a terrorist advantage imo. Because all they have to do is shoot seals and protect the train. The seals would have to be good to win.

Naw not really, train is slow...and if seals could dismantle the tracks it'd balance it out.

Say like 2-3 AT4s per boxcar, or 3 C4s? And only 3 boxcars + the front of the train that is armoured and can't be destroyed...

We'd have to try and incorporate M2 mines into it though, because since the front can't be destroyed they'd be redundant but idk, maybe they'd hurt the rest of the train.

And if SEALs got vehicles, maybe 1-2 ASLV's and possibly a TOW, then it'd be pretty even.

I guess you are right.

This sounds fun and I would love to play it if they made it. Zipper would just have to make a map specified for this game mode only though. Or maybe they could make the map and either disable the train for other game types or the train can show up but can't be interacted with too much.

I was thinking more of a turret on top of every car, but I'll go with a cannon. I personally like things that go boom.
