Thread: Barbed wire

Most of you will remember barbed wire in bf1942 - impassable, and it hurts like hell if you run into it. I'm just thinking to myself, is there a place for it in TW, because I can see it coming in helpful (say, at the sides of machine gun nests). It would mean people couldn't run directly through it but, unlike a wall, they *could* shoot through it.

thats true, in BF1942 barbed wire was great for anti infantry but tanks could drive straight through it, personally I would prefer walls with shooting ports for the green storm to line some of the trench emplacements.

Problem with them is that they're a little unbalanced; you can easily shoot out, but they're pretty hard to attack. I see these as being a way to seal off certain pathways and creating choke points without stopping people shoot that way, and creating the illusion that it's not a really closed off map. Its use should be avoided in areas where tanks are gonna be.

hmm ok I see yer point.

sounds like an awesome idea to me

Barbed wire is great fun to play with*

Yer im all for barbed wire. Although I think it should do more damage than in 1942. It wasnt enough of a deterent.

Well if it's impassable then there's no good reason to run into it; just take pointless damage.

yep, in BF1942 everyone just ran straight through it then did a quick spot of healing and made a mess of your capture point.

Well, as I say we'll make it impassable.
