What if you could just retreat units (infantry) back to your spawnpoint ? In a seperate game mode for example.

It might have some negative aspects but those can be fixed.

I think it could be pretty awsm for gameplay, more back and forth play.

blobs of doom im comming!!!!!

[Rahx]

no

[Unkn0wn]

Well, it sounds like you are asking us to go back in time? :p

For those of you who remember the massive community uprising when retreat was taken out of the game (Good times)

HAhahahahaahhhahahahhahaha
Tbh i Its a lot better to retreat of the field instead just to spawn, well that was funny.

lol

I think it can make 1v1s more interesting tho.

You should have seen some threads at the time, a lot of people thought removing retreat to spawn from the game would effectively kill europe in ruins. Needless to say, almost 2 years later, I think many will agree it was a good decisn decision.

Retreating to spawn really doesn't work well in the persistency design philosophy of the modification. That being said, we'll definitely be looking into expanding the amount of gamemodes, so suggestions and ideas are more than welcome.

I personally think the real issue with 1vs1s in EIR lies elsewhere.

There have already been A LOT of suggestion for game modes but if I remember correctly development had a lot of things to get done before time for new gamemodes arose.

lmao skaffa , terrible idea. im sorry retreat should never go back in, the most ennoying thing about vcoh is uber blob retreat

[spinn72]

BRING ON 3 FIRE HUMMELS AND TARGET THEM ALL AT RETREAT POINT, VCOH STYLE.\
GORKHALI STRATEGY WINS.

Every time a new decision is made in the mod, an uprising starts and the "end of EiRR" is immanent........ LOL

if i can retreat to spawn, then i won't care if about mg42s.

i think retreating to captain was left in for a short time, even if it was a doctrine ability, i still think it would be hugely OP.

[pandaExpress]

since were still on the retreat topic what if mg in buildings leave the gun in the building and run insted of packing up and then leaving if you retreat them i'm tired of losing vet 3 mg because of this

[skaffa]

MGs are not supposed to survive in EIR enviroment I was once told. The new vcoh patch MG change of reduced pack up might be nice, you can retreat faster in your example, also dodge arty better, and displace better, all for increased survivability.

[DarkSoldierX]

Edit: Lower packup and stuff would be nice but I think the packup reductions that VCOh has is too much

[EliteGren]

They still do the packuo animation though, you just don't see the progress bar.

O_O I didn't know that.

[Unkn0wn]

We'll probably be implementing those.
As a matter of fact, we already implemented the US mortar pack up time reductions in a previous patch.
