Heli-crash Mayday Calls

[schuyler.grisham@gmail.com 14]

I think this would be a neat feature to add to the game with the addition of 2-Way Radio's.

-Requires 2 Way Radio (assuming these will be a pick-up item, not a spawn item)

-Announces a Mayday call over coms giving coordinates or the name of the region the chopper is going down at.

This would bring a whole new level of competition to Heli-crashes, as well as bring them to life within the game its self, instead of making them more like a lucky chest you happen to come accross. You'll have to ask your self, is this chopper crash worth going after? Do I think I'm the closest person to it, can I get to it before everyone else?

This game is all about risk factor, and I believe this type of feature would truly add to that aspect of the game.

Yeah i like this idea, as well as possible fake mayday calls being made....I can see it now ahah

Nice one

I like the idea but I do recall this being suggested before.

[david.mcentee@live.co.uk 46]

and what he is bringing the suggestion back to life! you v see how manny team death match suggestions there is...

I'd like to see something like this and you are right it sure would add some extra competitiveness to finding crashed helicopter sites.

Maybe not exact coordinates but a general description of the area that they are going to crash land in.

As an expansion to this idea, what about having the chopper visibly crash?

[Grodenn 53]

This have been suggested before but it is a decent idea.

[WarpNinja 6]

there has been ideas for the helicopters to be visibly crashing before, and as mentioned on these occasions there would be a lot of coding involved with having actual crashing helicopters, this idea sounds good if you had like a repeating distress signal from the chopper crash, on the note of visible crashing choppers, i think you'll atleast have to wait for standalone, and even then i think the chances are slim for it to be implemented

I assume every suggestion from here on out is intended for the Standalone. I expect maybe one more big patch for the Mod, and then I hope to see the entire team focus on getting the standalone up and running. This game needs endgame if it's going to survive as more than just a mod. Making chopper crashes an event in the game, more than (like I said before) just a lucky chest of loot, I believe would really add to the games immersiveness...

I am guilty of not checking to see if this idea was suggested before via forum search, and for this I am sorry.

You are a person on a zombie apocalypse.. the helicopter crashes happened due to the infection, long before you were washed up on the mainland.... but they spawn randomly because of the loot is so rare and everyone would be camping if it wasn't for the random spawns..

This is my Story!

and in my story the helicopters crashed just before I found them.
