Why?

Quake, Quake2, Quake3, Doom3, Unreal Tournament 2004, 2003, BAttlefield1942, BAttlefield vietnam, and star wars battlefront all do it better already.

The way I see it, the combat system in SL is quite useless. It is prone to too many exploits, and generally turns into a mini arms race. No one that I know of has sucessfully implemented a fair and balanced field of battle for player vs player conflicts...

Enter SimCast Entertainment,

We are aiming to provide that "fair and balanced" battlefield, in the form of hand to hand medieval combat. Specially scripted weapons, armor, and magical items will provide the tools necessary to make this happen...

Well the best thing would be to make no fly zones and take off radar

Sure there is...

Go to Rausch or Jessie. Their land is set to unsafe, and you can and will die there. When you die, you are teleported home. The only drawback is there is no sense of fair play on the battlefield. Anyone and everyone can create a new script, place that into a weapon, and hit the dirt running. Unless you are into self abuse, trying to wage a balanced war in these zones is pretty much pointless...

I think one important thing to improve in combat locations is to force minimap shut off. How can you hide if you're being watched by sattelite?? Plus, lag also kills the experience... at one point I'm all frozen, the next minute, I'm teleporting back home. ARRRGGGHH!!

add them up and we have

2The 2difference 2between 2me 2and 2you = 0

2(The difference between me and you) = 0

The difference between me and you = 0/2

The difference between me and you = 0

I never thought we were so similar

The big thing that i see wrong with it is that you are teleported home. Why not have it just tele you to the nearest Telehub, or a set point within the sim. Have it so that there is a box too so that no one can Spawn-kill. Also a global scoring system for kills would be kewl too. The combat system needs A LOT of work to be done to it to be a good one. Hopefully LL will get to that point soon.
