Something simple I guess, but being able to set the inital zoom rate for the compass (as mentioned by Hiro) would be excellent. Every time I play ET I have to change the compass zoom - just a small thing, but would be nice to include if it's not too much trouble.

what are you trying to achieve - making the sniper more powerful, or making the covert more useful? the way I see it these are two very different roles. Very true. I did suggest Coverts being given the ability to use the SMG, and I'd definitely like Bani to introduce that - possibly as an option so...

I quite like that actually

Heh, if your team is camping.. you lose.. (even in most cases on defense) Umm, no. <quote>CO is prolly one of the best classes in ET imho. Stealing enemy uniforms - cool. Scoping for mines - cool (even better because ppl still don't bother to replace their mines even though it's obvious the CO has ...

What kind of tactic? Get the players' Mum's to interrupt them when you fulfil an OBJ, and hope they didn't hear the announcement etc?

Umm, no.

Fair point about their being ALOT of OBJ's though.

The game isn't about surprising the enemy by hoping they don't know the status of the game...lmao.

Why need a server side setting? If clients want it off they should be able to, but why would a server admin ever want to force it off, for example?

2) Silent plant at Oasis's anti tank guns. Get two players, one must prone up on the anti-tank gun, and the other one must plant the dynamite above the player. It does not tell you that dynamite is planted, but the gun will explode. The principle applies not just to Oasis's guns but everything AFAI...

Might be worth trying out some of the suggestions people are bothering to make...I know I would.

i have, for example if you plant too far arround the corner on goldrush (beside the tank) it will sound the alarm but not blow the barrier I've not seen that...I believe what you're saying, I just haven't seen it happen in any scrims/matches/pubs that I've played. Some demos would be good. As for r...

I've never heard a 'planted' announcement that didn't blow the barrier, however silent plants are relatively easy to do after some practice.

IMO the best thing for the Covert would be to allow him to use the SMG's.

Couldn't hurt.

Definitely would like to see this in ET Pro. Obviously this won't be used by most admins, but to have it as an option would be great. Really good idea, looking forward to seeing it happen in a future version of ET Pro.

If a Covert could use SMG's that'd make things far, far, better.
