Dear EPIC put a LOCK ON THE SILVERBACK PLEASE!!!!

[XxDrownFlamexX]

I can't count the number of times i have put over 12500$ toward a silverback and had someone take it for a joyride and get it destroyed. Sometimes i will leave my silverback in a corner so that it doesn't get damaged during waves where there would be lots of tickers and be pointless to use it but someone steals it. Sometimes I just hop out for a moment to fix it and someone hops in. It pisses me off that i can spend 8-15 minutes just to buy one thing and have someone come along and ruin my horde experience. Now that i'm done complaining, here's my idea on how to fix this: I think that whoever has spent the most money buying/repairing the sillverback gets to decide who is able to get in it. For example, they could hold TAC/COM ( LB ) and press B button to lock or unlock the silverback. LOCKED so that only that one person can use it. Or UNLOCKED so that anyone can use it. If the person dies it is open to all until that person respawns. PLEASE put this in the next title update.

that actually sound like a good idea

[iTheMightyBobby]

Or you could always just play with friends and have a laugh while enjoying the game mode.

That's what I always do but maybe some people can't get 5 people together? So yeah I guess it would be a nice little option for mode versatility.

Best idea I've heard on these forums... Except for the weekend idea of KOTH, CTL, and TDM put together

[bigfreshdawg]

I like the lock idea but the whole hold button thing is to weird for me

[WylesAndLions]

or you could just, ya know, play with a mic and let peeps know if they can use it or not.

Saying "Don't take my silverback!" won't stop many people from taking it. This is a good idea that should be implemented somehow.

[Oberkuppenlord]

Thank god i never play horde public xD
There is no solution for this problem ... you have to accept it

[XxBlueIcexX95]

This is a really good idea. It is really annoying when somebody takes the silverback when you spent the money to buy it.

[GuestForeverX]

If There is a implemented lock, the lock needs to be unlocked A. automatic to the buyer B. unlocked in ghost cam in case of emergency C. unlocked if the buyer who locked it quits or lags out.

The owner lock should be transferred if the silverback is repaired immensely by another player IE i spend 9000 to repair the original owner should not lock it from me.

This is great and all but unless you plan on editing the interface and game mechanics you're completely out of luck. I highly doubt even Epic Games would take this into consideration seeing as how Horde 2.0 is designed to be a TEAM effort. Just avoid the players you'd rather not play with and get new ones, simple as that.

[SuperHey]

I agree also a lock on the command post would be COOL

[sA x Smakrat]

Stupid idea imho, while we're at it put a lock on Turrets and Command Centres because you know I bought them no one else should use them.....

People are already complaining about players leaving during public horde, now it will be a race to get the Silverback and then everyone who didn't get it will most likely quit out because it's no fun watching someone else silverback round all game, without chance of ever using/buying your own.

I have to disagree with you 100%. In my opinion, you haven't played enough horde in public, or struggle to find 5 guys on a whim when you come home form work and just Jump into Horde to have a blast and to see if you can make it to wave 50. It may be a team based game, but the players in their own right, aren't team focused outside a few casuals you run into and are cool.

The Silverback isn't just something you buy. It's an investment. It takes rounds to accumulate the cash to buy it, then to repair it because the Silverback is squishy as all hell. You have no idea what's it like to just be like "God damn it, I hope this newb don't F up my ..." Then all you hear is "SILVER BACK IS DESTROYED" and you paid for it. So please. Putting a lock, chain it to the wall you park it in, having a ID scanner so you're the only person who can ride it. I'm down for that.

I do apologize to be on a quoting spree, but the only thing I see of value to lock would just be the Silverback and the Command Center. Everything else isn't really that much of an issue. I'll buy turrents, and I don't care who uses them. The Command center is very powerful on certain maps and very annoying on others. I think that locking just those two will be a lot more beneficial than to watch someone tear up something you spend your money on, or use your Command center in the beginning of the round, just to wipe. When you can use it in the middle and be at a better position.

[Sabaku Usagi]

Honestly, I don't see this as a feasible update to Horde 2.0 but that's my opinion... The complexity it would add during stressful times in a wave wouldn't be worth it.

My Solution: Only get out of the Silverback when it's 100% destroyed.

[ExtraSpectre]

Too bad there can only be one silverback at a time.

As annoying as thieves are, it's not fair to just have one person always monopolizing it because they horde enough money first.

[Kerman7]

I could have potentially subscribed to that, if only I wasn't at least just as equally annoyed by Silverback users who:
- do not participate to the fortification building effort for many waves, for the single selfish goal of being the first one to buy the one Silverback available
- make it their mission, once they acquired the SB, to take/steal as many kills as they possibly can, rather than cover a strategic area

So in the end, I reckon this is a terrible idea that would only make obtaining the SB, as stupid a race as getting the first base, and the reason for many (more) disconnects.
I rather have the SB gone given it would make even less sense to have more than one. Keep it for Private games only.

[DaRkNeSs]

Sounds quite good, never had this issue myself although I can understand how frustrating it must be for other people.

[offbeathater]

nice same thing happend to me today

[KatGunz]

I don't like the idea that someone can selfishly lock the silverback and keep it to himself. Horde is a team effort type of thing so I really don't think it matters if he takes it from you. Besides, just don't run far from your silverback and they shouldn't be able to steal it. A counter suggestion is to just make it so if a person leaves the silverback have it inaccessible to the rest of the team for 5-10 seconds.(if you really feel a change is in order)

[Stephano]

I had a bad experience last night. I saved like 10+ rounds to get the Silverback. When i got it i tried to find a place to hide. When i run someone knocks me out (my teamplayer). And stole the silverback!

After 8 rounds he get out of the silverback. But he locks it. The silverback was not damage, it was only unable to use

Anyone else experince this?

I got really angry..

[gears psychoticfan]

The reason for the silver back doesn't have lock feature, base on team work, communication,money share, repairing having their back.

Base on my experience of playing public horde people would do their own thing (solo by them self) take all the money not share. However I have found some people would work together. Hence why I don't play public horde.

I don't want the lock feature, sorry but every little thing a people complain about ruins the game even worst.

While playing horde public if 4 people save their money just to get the silverback, yet don't make a base and contribute to anything.. I would just leave the game.
This is why I would say, if you want to level up your silverback, then do it private, if you want to level up your kankus regards to beast mode yet everyone but me using one so they can get their healing ribbon I would leave.

There isn't a feature of (locked) so your incorrect (but he locks it) don't assume while you don't know nothing about a glitch. On some maps while the silverback is very close to the wall your unable to get back in the silverback while you jumped out or kicked.

That's why I don't play public games, people would just think of them self yet don't know what team work is.. I miss gears of war 2 horde mode.

[Andrewsafb71]

If you save money for 10 plus rounds on a wave of horde and not buy anything to help then get a silver back to whore all of the points I will steal it.

[rorreteltrut]

I agree. I had my silverback stolen and destroyed in under five minutes when it was fully repaired

[Masteralex09]

When I was playing on Overpass with a friend on public horde one of the guys constantly stole me and my friends kills to be a *** with the SB

[Arandy05]

Great idea

[Dutchmaster Guru]

Lovely idea

[Skilled]

Not a lock, maybe a remote eject button?

[Drone *]

Not a lock, maybe a remote eject button?

Dunno why, but I just picture that ejection seat scene from Die Hard 2, but with a silverback...

[Fupaz]

I agree with this, but not only on the silver back, but on all your stuff that you bought.

[NFI]

So if you die, and you lock it prior, and your team is being over run, they can't use the silverback?

[Azrever XVII]

I agree fully. Usually I don't care if someone else uses it. But it seems when I really want to use it, someone steals it. I have even had people wait till I jump out to repair it then hop in it.And these people who steal silverbacks ALWAYS seem to get it destroyed, like they do it on purpose.

[Guu-sama]

Thank god i never play horde public xD

Its the truth, there is no easy solution to the problem of griefers... Its something we all have to deal with when going Online. THEY are out there!

[mzKushyLipz]

Its a great idea especially for the ones who take the silverback and destroy it on purpose because you are point man for a few waves!!!

[GamingDaily]

yeah its not your silverback bud, the sooner you realize that the better, people do it because they can or feel like there helping, just dont care or are not paying attention? either way you cant claim something in a video game is yours, if you play offline then its yours, i cant believe people even think like this. the more you tell a stranger in game to not touch it or how to play a certain way they usually will rebel,good luck on that though.

[rondeau04]

This is the nature of the game.

[Cx Sandman]

sounds good.

[PooHawk]

Why not make a Silverback available at every Command Post? First guy to 12 grand gets the first one, next guy has to buy a command post then the Silverback. Would keep things competitive, and less irritating. Can you imagine have 5 Silverbacks on a wave of Horde? You'd be unstoppable!
