Environmental traps. players can set them up but, be careful, ANYONE can set them off (muhuhahahaha >;D)

I think it might detract from the action of the game. People might become too focused on them and it would become distracting from the main intentions of the game. On another note, it sounds kind of fun, even though I don't like things that lay mines or traps.

 

Edit: maybe mines or stasis bombs that stun you, I don't like the idea of much more.

No need. Every wall and corner is a sticky trap in Hawken. >_>

At first glance, this sounded interesting...

 

But then the 'anyone can set them off' part chimed in, and all I could think was 'oh ghods, the griefing...'

 

Gonna have to say naa as well.

Err, Pred and EOC mines that do friendly fire? How about you just place a turret (a rocket turret maybe) behind a corner to take some poor player by surprise.

Adding more traps would be unnecissary, like stated before - it would detract from the game play

Hahaha!!  Admiral Akbar......      Anyways... Yes,  the idea sounds good, and I like the thought of adding more stealth and subterfuge to the game, but I feel if that concept is pushed TOO much,  it takes away from the fluid fighting action that we all love.  The heat generators work sufficiently well as traps... not invisible of course,  but a deterrent to pass through certain choke points.  I dont' see the heat traps used to their full capacity as much,  but between rocket & machine gun turrets,  heat traps,   I'm not sure you need much more.    

 

Perhaps a little squirt of mech oil,   for an "Oil Slick"  trap,  that can cover a similar sized area as the heat trap,  and slow movement for all non-bosting mechs,  (of course, they can just boost through it).   perhaps cover a slightly larger area than the heat trap,   the main deterrent is to HAVE to boost through the oil slick to avoid having movement slowed to half speed.  The deterrent is the fuel that is consumed to boost OVER the oil slick.   Just a thought.
