Doorbusters

[Hammy]

I wish this game allowed you to push people. Last night if you were on with me you saw me get very frustrated and leave.

The number of new people on the servers mean that it is doing very well and becoming popular. However, the learning curve was a bit much for me last night as both teams had their fair share of Doorbusts just standing there.

In vacant, I was trapped in the back room for a good 5 minutes with all exits to the auditorium style open room blocked by 5-10 people.

I finally just waited for someone to throw a nade.
The next time it happened I dumped flash bangs on them until they kind of wandered around enough so I could slip through.

Anyone else frustrated with this prob? Even when I was new I knew not to do this.

My motto on Doorbusting is as follows:

DOORWAYS ARE NOT RABBIT HOLES, THEY ARENT PLACES TO HIDE-- THEY ARE PLACES TO DIE

I've posted on this before.

It would be a handy feature if the KNIFE function DOUBLED as a punch function for friendlies. Where instead of inflicting damage, it would WOBBLE their screen like a nearby airstrike, and make it flash red and possibly even make them breathe real hard as if they were injured. The wobbling effect would not allow them to aim well enough and they'd get the picture after about 4 or 5 punches their screen started flashing red. Possibly even have the words "BLocking" flash on the screen after a few whacks.

Nice idea, but how many people would abuse it? I'd say at least 10 a day.

BF2 was nice, except for I can see how people also can be asshats and push people trying to snipe just anywhere.

It's sad people have to be jerks and ruin good ideas.


I'm glad to see however I'm not the only one noticing an increase in door blockers. Maybe I'm NOT going crazy :P

Why can't you push someone out of the way, which is the crux of the problem. Every FPS game that I've ever played allowed me to 'push' someone, even a teammate, but never the CoD games ... its just a bit annoying for me, a beginner, so I imagine you vets are quite ticked about it.

Can't say i've noticed an increase. They don't bother me either. I just find a different way out of the room.

I should have pulled a grendae- dropped it and stood on it- and spawned somewhere else.....

I don't see why anyone .... or how for that matter.... anyone could abuse it unless they just wanted to run around punching people..
I can tell you one thing... they'd have one HELL of a time keeping up with me, and they'd likely die before they caught up with me at the rate I rush. Whats even more aggravating is when you are upstairs trying to run through a building on bloc to get to the enemies on the other end of the building and there are people lying in the floor just aiming at the other end. I bump into that all the time and usually the enemy is lying down on the other end picking my teammates off one at a time when they get stopped by the person lying down blocking. Bloc is one of the worst maps for blocking IMO, because of the tight quarters inside and then there are barracades every five feet it seems. Add that and the sheet-load of snipers and what you have is a cluster hump.

Then you have those who are running AWAY from the combat while 2-3 guys are trying to get out, you have one that is always running back IN the door at the same instant, and an enemy nade usually takes care of that for you.

ON THE OTHER hand however, if I CAN manage to make it outside and across the map, usually tossing a nade up into the 2nd story balcony windows at the opposite end will usually guarantee a 2-3 kill streak instantly. Getting out and around is half the battle. People fuss about nades on bloc, but its the only way to clear out multiple enemies who are holding up one end of the building and waiting for backup or either sniping from one end to the other. The 'noob tube' ..?.. is a very handy weapon on BLOC even though I never use it, because it is hard to get a high enough angle to throw a nade through the doorways to the other end of the bldg to clear out the enemies before a rush. Thats why I take the outside route and toss it in the window and bank it off the walls.

I love Bloc. Sheep to the slaughter, lol. As far as people blocking there are very few instances where there is not an alternative exit. I am one of those who asks the person BY NAME via VOIP to move and I don't remember a single instance of people not moving when you use their name. My favorite is when you are trying to get through a door one way and someone is from the other as well and you kind of get stuck together, then the other guy screams over VOIP "QUIT BLOCKING THE DOOR!!!!" LOL, No kidding, I just wanted to get through it too.

DOD did not allow pushing either. One of the biggest way you could asshat in DOD was to block doorways. It got so bad that Cain made it an instant ban.

Last night on 'Wet Work' three of us were trying to get through the door to go up the stairs to the 'con' and all of us got stuck. w
I think we realized it but somehow just couldn't move...needless to say we got pwned as sitting ducks.

The game should allow you to push past the teammate without messing up the 'blocker'. Maybe just slow you down a bit as it would be in reality.

Maybe they could add in the shieldgun from ut2k4 and just bounce them out

I must say that this becomes a very big problem for me, especially on Crash. It gets really annoying when I am trying to get up on the roof of the tall building to throw a quick nade or whatever, just to be blocked so close to the top by someone kneeling in the exit. What is worse is nearly every time this happens i get killed by either an airstrike or a stray nade or someon coming up behind me. It got to the point where Minfootball had to tell me to calm down and maybe take a break. They need to find some way to fix it. I like the punch idea.

[Trimar692]

If you have a MIC just yell at them...I do

[xGoblin013x]

hehehe... I just look for you guys at all the doors so I can stun and gun every one of you
Its even better if it happens to be Drisel stuck by a couple of door blockers

but seriously, the pushing idea is great...

+1, Crash seems to be the worse, but it's a fun map... without the nade spam. Being body blocked makes the nade spam seem a lot worse.
