    no worries, I just find comedy where others don't. I see Patrick is also demented properly!

    I'm interested to see how they handle the sniper fire topic. But I like the idea.

    Yeah, I foresee many bombing runs passing in and out of those shields easily unless you keep an anti air presence up outside of those shields.

    Some of them look pretty small. You'd have to be pretty damn good to get below them withouth crashing into the floating thingie

    I think that will kill me more often than enemy fire from below.

    I figure dumbfires on the platform under the shields would... discourge people from getting too close.

    I honestly don't really see why they're needed, though.

    I think its a great idea....on paper. And I'm excited to see how it changes the flow of combat. I also like the walls. Something I think should have been included from the git-go in a lot of places.

    Air and Land Vehicles have a place in combat and close quarters isn't it. Vehicle combat is fun. I love it! Its why I play this game. I'm not a boots on the ground guy. I love blasting a guy in the face point blank with a 120M tank round....but thats not what its there for.

    And dont forget, shields work BOTH ways! So we're a lot less likely to see those MAX suits and those strikers playing Peek-A-Boo through the shield. Because UNLIKE the spawn room that they currently play games through....they are NOT safe from ground attack inside the dome shield.

    I think that all in all, it will allow the ground units to focus on ground targets, and the air units to focus on air and armor targets. It's gonna mean a LOT less certs for a lot of people, but I have a strange feeling that if this works like it's supposed to....there will be some serious rebalanced coming shortly after.
