Add Bikes To All Maps

[YOLO2]

Just do it. Don't be a pussy. Just do it.

The bikes in the HD maps are pretty good, now that I'm used to them. Might as well add them and the rocket hum-vee to all existing maps. Ever since I was a wee lad I always wanted to drive the recon bike, a staple of Nod's arsenal from the original C&C. When I first got Renegade I was so hyped for that. But the bike was nowhere to be found. In a fit of rage I took a bunch of quaaludes and stole my neighbor's motorcycle. But that's a story for another time.

We are planning remove them.

Bikes are very cool, but they are too powerful on a lot of maps VS that tow humvee GDI has. Get bike, run over people, go fast in the buildings in the back of GFI base etc ...Unless we give bikes for 2 teams like !bike we used to have.

I say it's a good idea to remove them, it's hard to balance maps with the bikes in play from a lot of plays of HD maps that I've seen now, especially on Complex_HD. Keep them exclusive to the vehicle crates, so if someone gets a veh crate, then they can get the map's recon bikes/tow humm-vees, shouldn't be too hard to implement. If I do decide to make maps in the future again for whatever reason, then I'd probably keep them in the extras menu so they can still work for vehicle crates and non-laddered servers

Fori please comes back. can you do that? I will leave if im issue.

[Forithow]

I will come back some day <3

I don't have the level files anymore except for Land_HD which you got source files for now. Just do what Shai did where he removed MRLS and Arties from DethRiver server-side a few years ago or Havocs/Sakura for Niagra, similar concept to make them "out of stock", that will technically remove them from the map unless you allow them to be spawned in via crates. And don't worry, the name of them are consistant through out all HD maps (I think)

That way you don't have to flip between two versions of the same map where you have 1 with recons/humm-vee and one without, the server can decide that instead, and re-enable them easily if people want them back, etc.

Huh and what happened since you dont have them anymore? Yeah Im playing with rotation over !snm and Im getting back that old disable list per maps from old Blacky server files. Actually I finally finished that vehicle drops for all installed maps.

You and your buddies keep saying this but bikes have yet to be the deciding factor in Nod victories. It's still the good ole stank rush that gets the job done. Besides these bikes aren't even that fast and their firing rate is halved, so they're not over powered.

[InspectorGadget]

not only are they debatably too powerful, i also don´t enjoy the gameplay it brings. maps with bikes endable end up having multiple people just spamming bikes trying to run over people/suiciding just to buy another one. don´t think that´s good for the quality of the game.

Why can't we change them rather than removing entirely? Reduce their agility and/or damage. If TOW humvees are weak, give them some buffs

The bikes have brought some real fun to the game. We just need to match the rocket humvee to the bikes in terms of speed/firepower.  Way better then removing them.

Because all source files was lost.
