Roof Access

[SavageAsHeLL]

Not sure if you may be adding this already in the future, but roof access would be nice especially to put up snipers. Perhaps they may even be able to go prone but that may change the game all together.

Anyway, just a thought.

Thank you

I like the prone idea, (just because it's more you can do) but I don't think that it'll be implemented. Roof access should be there, if it's not already. Just have stairs going to the roof of the buildings, it'd be pretty simple. It was in the OG, so why not? It's not unbalancing or anything.

I like the idea, but standing on the roof is only as useful as Line of Sight you get from there.

(or Line of Shot to be precise, as your other troops can act as spotters)

In tight city map you won't benefit from it as much as you would want.

Depends on if Aliens hide on rooftops

Prone would require a ton of sprite re-rendering. As would a crouchmove (duckwalk), but ce la vie. There are already is roof access in some terror maps, you can have someone crouch behind the roof railing and it works fine.

Hmm, that is true. Prone's (almost definitely) out. Good to hear about the terror missions having roof access. One thing to remember, if there's a flying armor equivalent (maybe jumping really high or something, I really don't know) soldiers equipped with that can simply fly/leap on top of the roofs.

Is there a flying armor (or similar) planned?

[erutan]

Yes, I'll leave out details as it may be spoilery but there is a jump/fly type armor in game.

Okay, cool. Thanks!
