This suggestion is to ask the developers again to bring this mode back, but obviously with changes, it is well known that the mode was not the best since it was outdated in several parts, so I come to suggest:
1ºA complete rework of the German version’s map, repositioning and improving all the map’s add-ons to make more logical sense for attackers and defenders.
2ºAllowing for construction without being too exaggerated near the tracks
3ºImprove AI to be able to attack and defend the train better
4ºIf there are vehicles on the stage, when they are destroyed the engineers can be eliminated and new ones can be brought in to move around with them
5º Different versions of the mode based on Manchuria for Japanese vs Americans, the current map for Germans vs Russians and I’ve heard stories about the Germans in Normandy even using some armored trains but I’m not sure so if anyone has more information please attach info
And rally points shouldn’t be affected by distance from train as well.
It was truly annoying to build rally point 60m away from the train just to train move forward right afterwards and increase this distance from 60m to 90m in just tiny little moment.
So let’s allow it to build closer. You are not allowed to spawn on rally point that’s threatened anyway.
Train escorts was thought bad, in my opinion the Focus shouldn’t never be on the train and simply put bot on it and make it move, but on the bridges, defender should hold the bridge for tot time against attacker to blow up it, but if the train breach it, then the battle would be moved to the next one and so on until the last one
this could be a feature depending of the map, I mean, japan vs soviets/muricans could be one, american vs germans have other feature, so every train mode could be unique and refreshing
Dude, If I wanted to play a Payload-esque gamemode, I would just boot up Overwatch or TF2. You can’t rework or reform train escort in this game. Just give up
If you had to ask me, good riddance. I used to play a shitton of Berlin prior to the merge and I’d say that if I saw a poor man’s payload match, I’d leave somewhere between 25-33% of the time.
i am sure after spending years of “work” on the map and all efforts failing, DF will not bring the map back. instead of fixing something that seems impossible to fix & extremely ineffcient at that too, DF can use the ressources to create a whole new map. also the train mechanism itself is bugged despite countless updates and “fixes”.
if someone really wants the map back, DF should publish all code & data for the map and let random people on the internet do it for them. at this point in time even AI might fix the bugs better than what weve seen so far.
Yeah if the track wouldn’t have been a straigh line the battle area won’t have been a terrible problem. Beside on many map like normandy or moscow we have train track all over the map that are not used a lot
