hey guys, im not sure if you guys know about this but theres a group of clans making a website to support a BAS mode for COD4, maybe in a future expansion, i think MOB as one of the Best clans in the BAS community(TWL) should support this, im not sure if we are gonna get something from this but we can try, you just need to register and vote in the poll.

if you know other clans that are not in the TWL and you think they might be interested in supporting this crusade, go ahead and tell them or send me a PM and i will post something in their forums like i did here.

this is the link:

Tanks just rule, GO BAS

I would love to see a BAS game type ,but I don`t think it will have tanks in it ,or if they do then you won`t last long against the Javelin Rocket Launcher....as in the demo its a 1 shoot 1 hit kill ,as it locks on to the tank and fires upwards to hit tank on top turret weakspot .So I would imagine that they would do a no-tank BAS type..........



But I did vote at the site........



And thanks for the complement about our TWL BAS teams.....you guys have come along way from those early days when we taught you afew things ........GREAT TIMES.

Oh, but it's fairly easy to play-balance weapons for the multiplayer. For example, all COD weapons are actually balanced "unrealisitically" in that the slower firing guns always do more damage than faster firing guns, but in RL the damage was all fairly similar (or so I read in a FAQ about COD). So they can just tone down that rocket launcher for multiplayer, or make it extremel limited. i.e. Can't spawn with it, only 1-2 locations where the weapon spawns, or something to that effect.

I'd love a COD4 BA option!

Ah Yes, the gaming balance !! We have to put up with the loss
of RL for the players to be able to play both sides with equal
chance. This type of gameplay stifles tactical creativity which I
would love to see more of in gaming....

But if you remember that in the COD single player game (Dawnville battle I think) you killed a Panzer with a single Panzerfaust shot anywhere on the tank. That didn't work like that in multiplayer...

There are ways to do that too. Different soldier types, with limits of each type, etc.

Though what would probably be more realistic would be if people spawned in a weapons storehouse, and there was a limited number of weapons in each storehouse! Maybe the storehouse would repawn a new batch of weapons once or twice a game to simulate "re-supply" but if there were 20 PPSH's to start, they be gone after 20 different people picked them up until the re-supply. Then you make all guns realistic, so yes, perhaps a MP-44 is a weapon of choice for most soldiers, but you're going to run out and have to use the lesser weapons if your aren't careful! Same with tanks. Instead of re-spawning 20 second after they are destroyed, they'd actually only be occasional respawns during "re-supply" time.

Anyway, it'd be cool, but no one tries this stuff. IMO, games like Battelfield 1 and 2 really miss the boat by offering 1-2 gametypes. Why not 6-7 types, with this being one of them. So much work goes into making fancy grahpics and animations and stuff, and yet, innovatiive multiplayer gametypes seems to be lacking IMO.

For evidence, see MOH Airborne. Just 2 versions of basic CTF and deathmatch! Yeesh. What were those morons thinking? They deserve to have failed.

I think it would be cool. Sitting there pounding away at a base. All of a sudden you see this missle go straight up out in the distance. 1st reaction would be "OH CRAP! RUN!!!!!"

Another modern game used the Javelin (can't remember which)
but it was realistic to use. A spotter had to send you the map info
where the tank was and you input & fired the rocket. BUT if the
tank moved in the next 20 seconds while the rocket was in route,
A BIG MISS resulted....

I think it would be nice, and to whoever said that the javalind is too good, well, for on when i played on the demo, you can cary it (javalind) in your hands, and therefore can't use other weapons, and I think they would made it so you have only one shot, besides, those loonies with the rpg's got like 3-4 rockets, and a ak-47... so a BAS type game with tanks would not be that stacked on one side, altought the amricans( and other non-evil type guys) have technological advantage, the others are packed with a lot of firepower, meaning the rpg mostly, since I only played the demo... but if there was a bas I'd get cod4, but otherwise prolly not... jsut borrow from my friend and move to vermon where he can't find me, lol...

and think about it, in everygame all the good players are mostly the ones that use the evil side's guns, even in moh:pa the jepenese got crappy guns compated to americans, but rearly it has been that I seen them be defeated... sooooo... people are naturally evil...
