This is actually somewhat less crazy than the other ideas.

GLA Demo/Anthrax traps disguised as supply piles/UN Crates. They can still be revealed as bombs by stealth-detecting units.

Nice idea.

[Jordan]

Hm, rather than a demo trap, maybe it could be a mousetrap? Or a giant piano suspended in the sky, which drops when someone tries to collect the crate.

Those are cool. Although a think a straightforward trap would be a bit more surprising, and possible MORE crazy since nobody would expect something... reasonable.

A mousetrap that freezes units would be good, though. Speaking of which, did you ever go anywhere with my Liberator Tank suggestion?

[Sgt. Rho]

I vote for the suspended Piano.

[n5p29]

or Anvils maybe?

[Kris]

I like the anvil better

[Whitey]

Piano

That way it can make piano sounds when it hits the ground. You know the dissonant crash of keys I'm talking about. =P

[Kris]

or we can get a huge guitar and El kabong them

anvils also can make huge "CLANG" noise when hit ground. for comical relief.

[Su8perkillr]

Hehe... I remember this kind of speak from another topic. Anywayz, I think an piano would be epic. Crushing infantry, slowing tanks.

[Whitey]

Maybe randomly an anvil or a piano?

[Su8perkillr]

I also liked the idea we once had about traffic lights

[GuardianTempest]

[Su8perkillr]

Cookies. Just plain cookies. With chocolate chips.

[Wizard]

A randomly generated object seems like a better bet.

I agree.

Why have just a piano when you can have everything?

[n5p29]

then I request Moai statue, big fat man (sumo?), and other crazy things as well!

[HHKelevra]

I dunno. With such obvious traps you know that NOBODY is actually going to try and touch them.

You see a supply pile or UN crate lying around, chances are you're gonna go for it at some point. Then it explodes in your face. A good enough player might even discourage opponents from trying to search for other crates and whatnot.

[Sgt. Rho]

make it so that when someone takes the crate, a piano rapidly falls down out of apparently nowhere

[CJ]

Why limit it to crates? Wouldn't it be better if a good part of the environment would be trapped?

[HHKelevra]

That would work too. But with supplies you pretty much know that somebody is going to try and go after it, unlike trees and whatnot.

[Alias]

Not really, it's pretty obvious if there's random supplies in the middle of nowhere.

Well put one around a supply pile!


@Idea

I like it!

But, it needs to be somehting not so "CRAZY" Like a tree, Box, Supply crate, Others......

[Su8perkillr]

Well, what does it matter? I think that it will be stealth anyway, and that when its activated, you will see a piano falling down on top of your forces. This will actually look almost the same as a demotrap.
