I know about the switch in Zanzibar, its a like garage-like door with bars and is opened from the inside if I'm correct. What I am on about is doors that don't necessarily go anywhere. Like on Rainbow Six 3 where you can storm rooms by storming into them.
If the light bridge (with on/off switches) is a definate, could you imagine how much you could piss people off! Bear with me...
Imagine a symmetrical map (for CTF matches) where there is 2 bases. The map is quite small, a little smaller than blood gulch (and therefore sniper rifles would usually not be used). Also flying vehicles would not be allowed as it would make the game too easy.
You have the flag! You come out of the enemies base, your team mates have taken most of the enemies out and you all clamber into the warthog (the warthog, ATV and ghost are the only vehicles allowed on the map). You frantically head towards your base, knowing that a single lightbridge is the only way that you and your team mates will make it to your base using the warthog (This lightbridge has switches at each end that turn it off). This is because right in the centre of the map is a shallow chasm full of rocks (therefore vehicles cannot get through). You speed towards the lightbridge and just before you get there you see an enemy heading towards the light bridge. He fires a rocket at you, your driver rightfully swerves to miss the rocket and does so, but because of this swerve your team mate on the gunner of the warthog fires (a rocket!) but misses. You just sprint along the bridge anyway but around halfway (the bridge is about as long as the first one you encounter on Halo, on the level: Halo) you see the bridge begin to dim. The enemy has turned the light bridge off! You and your team mates plunge into the rocks (with no injuries mide you) and clamber out of the warthog, knowing that it has no futher help to offer (when a vehicle is stuck in the rock pit it is resparned at its original base).
Now you have to get to your base on foot! But always knowing that your enemy could be hot on your heels!
Now thats what I call a great teamwork match. I'd love to play a map like that. Would anybody else?
