Make the Showcase C4-able Again
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make the showcase in the western nexus hallway (that's in the way) C4able again. Not sure why the ability to C4 it was removed but it makes western defenses much harder to manage.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allows a more dynamic map and the ability to make a better FOB using a feature that worked for it in the past.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Make the western nexus showcase able to be C4'd and explode again so as to clear the area infront of it for sentries and firing lanes.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding
(Not sure if this is a bug or not so I made a suggestion instead)

I still don't know why you can't dissolve them and then they go ahead and make it non C4-able.

If not Blowing them up, then at least make them moveable with a wrench or something so we don't have to waste C4 on clearing a space anyway.

+1+1+1. Showcases are probably one of the most annoying things in nexus right now. A way to move them or destroy them would really be GOOD.

I'm not really sure why it was removed in the first place tbh. It was really costly to get rid of it, it took an entire c4.Andkert wrote:+1+1+1. Showcases are probably one of the most annoying things in nexus right now. A way to move them or destroy them would really be GOOD.

Re: Make the Showcase C4-able Again
Honestly, C4 is more on the expensive side of things for destroying showcases, but showcases have no mechanical purposes other than to piss off engineers building a Nexus FOB and to make that one section of the hallway a little more narrow for movement.NoahKirchner wrote:I'm not really sure why it was removed in the first place tbh.

I'd be satisfied with any method to remove them or move them, if it's within limits of course.

Re: Make the Showcase C4-able Again
why should they be removable by c-4 only? Let us unwrench and move them around.

Re: Make the Showcase C4-able Again
Might've been a bug that was fixed, then. Whoopsie daisy, but ages ago (Back on sulaco when this thread was made), I couldn't c4 'em multiple rounds in a row.spartanbobby wrote:I was able to C4 them when I played a few rounds ago.

Re: Make the Showcase C4-able Again
Considering that I C4'd it in one round and couldn't do it in next one, I personally think that there is some bug with it. In any case, making them wrenchable would be neat.
