Remote Control C4

[ShabbyBoy]

I will start:

Remote Control C4

This is a RCC4 (Remote Control C4) Well, its not really remote control, but that doesnt matter. It is heatseeking.

The fun part is, that you can plant those little cars (footsize) everywhere on the map. They will drive to the most closest enemy on the map and then explodes. The explosion is as big as the explosion of the C4 thats used for planting by terrorsits So more people can die...

Disadvantages:
- When the enemy is in the air, the bomb will explode on the ground, so the eneys got a little change to escape then.
- It takes 3 seconds before the bomb explodes. In those 3 seconds the car does not move.
- Because the power of explosion is so big, it will be expensive
- You can only release 1 car per round

Thanks to: Fa- for helping me with it...

The concept of remote control is a great and has huge potential. It could launch an entire family of ground and air based vehicles that could carry guns, pepper spray (gasses), camera's, bomb defusal, etc. RC vehicles are used by the military and police to perform these tasks.

Counter-measures could be developed that jam or take over the radio signal giving control to the enemy.

However, there are two fatal flaws with this weapon in its current proposed state.

- First heat seeking does not work well for ground based entities. Maps with hills, pits, or lots of obsticles make ground based heat seeking impracticle. The heat seeking would almost be useless on maps like de_flatout, battlefiled_rush2, de_crazytank, xmas_crazytank,etc to just name a few. The car would get stuck behind hills or in a pit and not be able to see anything making it a very expensive rock.

- Second explosions do not work well for ground based entites as a primary form of attack. If the explosions were the size of C4 the weapon would be unbalanced. In maps like cs_assault the CT's would just have to run the C4 into the warehouse detonate it and kill the whole T team. The problem is if you reduce the power of the explosion then in low G players just jump over the weapon and substain little or no damage.

A frog with a bomb on its back.
It can jump over the hills and obstakels and stuff.

Its not bad that the RCC4 will get stuck if there is a obstacle between him and the enemy, it just waits until another anemy passes their way, and it foloows him. And about the explosion, maybe a idea that it directly explodes when it touched the enemy, so he will die anyway, but not with a explosion as big as a C4 in CS. Maybe like a kimikaze.

/Edit: or instead of a car a little helicopter.

[Maks]

Yeah cause I was wondering... What if the enemy would jump?

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

The problem is if the car is in a pit, trench, behind a hill, etc the field of view of the car is so limited the enemy would have to be standing right next to the car before the car could see the enemy.

The helicopter could be cool. Just have to make it different from a heat seeking missle. To combine some of your gas grenade ideas have the chopper spray tear gas or pepper spray that could disable an enemy before an attack.

That you can choose between some kind of ammo for the chopper. You can choose napalm, C4, nerve gas, etc. Would be cool...

And then do a kamikaze attack

[ShabbyBoy]

What I got now is this:
- It will be a heat seeking helicopter
- It will be able to use different kinds of ammo:
>C4
>Nerve Gas
>Molotov Cocktails
>Toxic
- The ammo will go off when the helicopter hits the enemy's body. When there is a C4 as ammo, the helicopter will be destroyed
- You can also hang a machinegun under it, this weapon will shoot out of air.
- You can release 1 helicopter a round
- It can be destroyed after 3 AWP shots
- Its fast, 2 times as fast as a player.
- Its 2 times as big as a player's foot

This are not facts, but this is what I think are good points...

[Angel of Death]

Could drop bear traps and mines too

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

Yes to all points except:

- Heat Seeking. I would just make it remote control. Maybe the targeting of the gun could be heat seeking to simplify aiming.

- Add a camera to the chopper so you can use it for survalence and see where the chopper is flying. When the user activates the chopper we can have the view switch to that of the chopper. So the player see's what the chopper see's. We might even be able to do a Picture in Picture (PIP) where you see the chopper's view in a little window (PIP might not be possbile don't know yet).

[Angel of Death]

That would be pretty cool. Also it should be able to be shot down with the drunken missle as well as the heat seeker.

That would also be cool, then you combine it with my idea in this topic. About the remote control: If you think that's possible it would be great of course. I said heat seeking because I thought remote control wouldn't be possible.

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

Yes except the camera couldn't be infra-red (for technical reasons) and you can't do a radar screen (for the same technical reasons).

[ShabbyBoy]

Ok, it don't have to be infra-red, but PIP would be cool enough...
