• Balance exploit fix – Added capture delay on Engineers

I DETESTED that in KW, and now they're adding it to RA3? That's just lame.

When you send an engineer to capture a structure he will now wait for a few seconds before entering and capturing it.

I concur. I was disappointed to see this is the patch article.

Does anyone know where I could send an informative e-mail about the lameness of the engie delay? Do I just send it to APOC? I doubt it'll do anything, but I can at least voice my opinion.

yeah the engineer delay is useless imo, but i guess competition balance takes precedence over fun. sigh

[BioBen 3]

Yeah but all factions have engie's so it balances nothing putting a delay on all of them

Maybe they're aiming for a bit more realism. "The engineer has to pick the lock to get into the building"

[Luk3us 63]

It was added because noobs who can't play, get pwned by engi rushes early. So now they get a few seconds to sell up or undeploy. :S

[rEdaSbLood 1]

they should do this instead...let the engie go in striaght away, but the building isnt taken over for another 3-5 seconds...maybe add some gunshots echoing from inside the building like they had in that glorious mission from RA

[Tank 0]

Noobs should learn to DEFEND THEIR DAMN BASES!

[Inferno 22]

Lame. =/

[Gben 20]

The engineer is already slow and unarmed, if the player can effectively micromanage it - I think they shouldn't be handicapped any further. My understanding was that the delay was introduced because defending players could not effectively halt the rush even when they knew about it. I think it was explained in one of the earlier BCPT episodes.

 

I don't like the engineer capture delay tactic myself, but I wouldn't mind it being an option in skirmish/online play.

I wish there were a whole lot more options in the setup actually...
