That would be a good idea. However, to counter what happens when someone runs out of fuel, (and I'm sure people will) is it possible to give a stamina tank for vehicles? Probably one or two a person, just enough to get to a gas station.

What happens when cars run out of gas in the real world? They get pushed to the nearest station. Not sure you can do that in BF2, though. That's a problem to think about.

What if there was a system of "gas" stations a various points of the map that refill your transport's stamina when you pull into them with??? just make it to where your stamina does not regenerate by itself :yes: .
You could have these "Gas Stations" as a drive by That instantly ReGenerates your vehicles Stamina, but this would be kinda pointless apart from vehicles that have a huge stamina that ReGenerates slowly :cpu:

Man I haven't checked this out in awhile. I hope this isn't a bump, seeing this is a sticky.

My "original" idea was that you have a set stamina, which allows you to go fast, jump, etc. When you run out of stamina, you can still move, but it will be very slow....Just so you can make it to the nearest gas station.....eventually :wink: .

Anyway, I think all of the ideas were good, and I'm open to counter-suggestions to mine. Also, I have a gas station model I made awhile ago, i'm sure I can find some good use for it :) ...

Two things guys,

1: What version will this be in (as in 1.1 1.2 etc) I want to download the right patch.

2: For my idea I am thinking some sort of museum.
Would you all like a museum? It could be star wars dedicated or real world dedicated.

This is a sticky right? So bumping doesn't occur.

For your questions:

1: Uh, what does that mean? If you're talking about the versions of BF1 patches, then you're way off track: this is a BF2 map. If you're talking about the 1.3 patch, I think you should get it. I don't know what kind of modes/etc. Rep has planned.

2: I have a feeling that Rep (or other veteran Gametoaster) already has one planned. If not, I bet someone is gonna make a museum out of their lot.

Having the official 1.1 is all that matters.

I plan on making a little "RepSharpshooter Museum" and a lot of people have already done their own with their lots.

If you want, but it would take up space in your lot that you might want for other reasons (I think the reason we have these lots is to show off our mods, maps, skins, etc.)

Which I have none of. Im thinking a power generator building surrounded by special turrets. Their weapon... A fusion cutter. So those of you who are the do-it-yourself type can repair your own vehicles. Easy dual purpose.

Me too. I've been trying to come up with a good game or puzzle to do. I had Tetris on my mind for a while, but I think that would add too many objects...

They're actually both grammatically correct, if that is why you corrected him.

Yeah, I probably should have explained myself better, my fault. :oops:

When he said Tetris, I remembered that Family Guy skit with Peter playing human Tetris, and thought it would be funny to post. :)

And on the idea of Tetris in BF2, I don't think the number of models would be a problem, but how would you move the blocks while they're falling?
