The point is that if you move your tanks you need to make a lot of flanking and that's usually a hell lot of "click-work that's why such a ability would be quiet useful... and no I'm not a comp stomper and if you think I play then you are invited to play a 1vs1 against me and I already know who will win :P.

Having Leningrad, the king of noob maps, as one of the maps you created doesn't sound too convincing mate.

But comparing epeens is besides the topic.  CoH is a game that requires micro, and "click-work" is part of that.

Yauz, noobs need to play too, they just need to play with other noobs. So if a map like Leningrad is great for noob games, let those people be who they are.

And Schdelt is the king of noob maps IMO

Schdelt Players: "IM A BOSS! ;D" "NO ONE BEATS ME BIATCHES!"

@monos: walki1 never said any of the things you claim. You just assumed he must be this raging noob who plays bridge maps ::). For all you know he is an extremely good player :D.

IDK whre you guys gets this vendetta against bridge players from. Sometimes you dont want to play a serious game :P. And even if bridge maps are bad walki1 simply wants something that will make gameplay that much easier and he has every right to ask for it :P

Just FYI everyone, I play Scheldt for fun with my mates.

I can also vouch for Walki's decent 1v1 skills. I wouldn't put him in the "noob" category.

This feature is crap though. The follow command is actually detrimental because the units are harder to select and the follow AI is crap. It's infinitely better to micro the units yourselves.

While I agree with the above statement, I have an idea.

How about instead of infantry following a tank around, make it just pioneers/engineers/sappers/mechanics, so they can follow a tank and repair it when necessary.

Yah! Let's make this thread a flame war thread! Only because I made Leningrad doesn't mean that I'm a noob :P.

So lets go back to the topic.

+1

it's the players that make a map "a noob map" not the person who built it. leningrad is a very nice map that i love to play and if you get enough noobs to play together you can call every map "a noob map"  ::)

@topic:
i didn't use the feature in botb mod very often, so i can't say much. i like the idea of inf linked to tanks.
but i hate collecting my pios after they cancelled their repair orders because someone blocked them. so if this feature causes similar problems just forget about it.

I've never ever feelt like i needed infantry to follow the tank but!  8)

Somebody mentioned that engineers stops repairing almost nomatter what happenes, thats kinda sad IMO. Sometimes i EVEN have a problem getting engineers to start repearing. BergerTiger is esp nasty when he decides that repairing ain't his job! xD


About the whole "n00b can't move infantry needs to have them with the tanks thing". It was a wild guess no reason to get that excited ::)

I think everyone needs to calm down, get the dust out of their vaginas, and stop fucking crying.

If you read the original posts, walki1 here claimed he was a good 1v1 player.  I just stated that judging from the fact he made Leningrad, I had a hard time believing him.  (And yes, Leningrad is a huge noob map, despite what everyone likes to think)

And that was all.  Did I ever say I had a problem with noobs?  No.  Did I mean to personally diss walki1?  No; I just think his maps are shit, and I have that right.

And no one censor this either.  He needs to man up and hear it.  And you won't hear me saying this shit to Sylver about his maps.  Other than that, this whole bridge-stomp noob map conversation is over, so back on topic.

lol, how about you do it first  ;D

does creating that map make him a bad 1vs1 player? it's like saying that someone who never played coh but created a good map must be a 1vs1 god  ::) no offense but it's stupid.

maybe this thread should be locked, we have heard the pros and cons and it's up to the devs to decide now.
it seems to be more of a flaming war here than a suggestion thread...

Completely agree with you. Hence I'm locking this.
