Changing weapon while on command tent doesn't kill you

[Gorman]

Well, that should be changed then, one way or another.

I think a death is an appropriate penalty for getting a free teleport back home, filled up ammo and health and blocks.
If there was no penalty people would just use it whenever they get down to half health (aka to avoid being killed).

I think it would be ideal if you could change the weapons on tent without dying, but you couldn't change the weapons anywhere else. It'd add some use to the poor fordibben tent.

The problem with that is the positioning of the command tent. If it is randomly placed at a very bad spot then your team will be at a massive disadvantage. At the moment it is quite a disadvantage - if you play assault and the enemy has the tent at the front while yours is at the side far away from the attack route, then you are basically screwed. Well, it's not quite as extreme as that, but the disadvantage is significant.

If we removed weapon change at any location except tent then it could magnify this. Of course, make makers can manually place tents, and I assume you could still use . to respawn and then walk to the tent (which should be at least within a half the map's distance).

I think the death penalty is enough to encourage people to use the tent - at least among high level players to whom 1 death is quite bad. But to others who are happier charging deaths are nothing. I guess because the penalty is so subjective it is difficult to balance...

I think that could easily be solved by setting the CP spawn somewhere in the edge center-ish, varying only a few grids.

so simple idea, it needs to be ingame...!

Sounds good.... +1.

[Disuben]

That would be a great idea but i also agree with the others that if they are going to implement it then they should also add a use key (like E is the use key in most games)

Only time I really change my weapon is when I'm already dead.

Sure though. +1
