pilot class

[sarb]

i remember someone made a thread saying how there should be a pilot class in bf2.

then i came across this


dude on the left...is it me, or is that a pilot with a gun?

I agree a pilot class should be implemented however if they are going to put one in they need to boost the pistol damage cause the pistol will be the only weapon they should get. I am not sure if there is any other weapons pilots use if im not mistaken there may be a sub machine gun they use.

from that pic from EA/Dice...could there have originally been a pilot class?

Yes there could of been, alot of things was in the beta version of BF 2 they had civilian vehicles you could drive, also on the kubra dam map there was a big dump truck that drove around. The player skins looked alot different the MEC guys looked more like insurgents so im not suprised they if they did make a pilot class at one point.

I really don't think EA has the abilty to do this I think this option would be best implemented in a mod like FH 2 or DC 2.

The pilot class should've been give the mp5 and anti tank gets something else, it would make sense, since the mp5 sucks alot in the game anyways.

U then dont know how to use the gun. How u just suck becuse the MP5 ownes. Even mid to long range. Maybe doesnt owne but still is a suprise when they see what they were killed by.

the pilot class needs a G3 in case anyone hijacks their plane

and they need an M95 for TK'ing

A Pilot Class would be cool, but you could only have 1 or 2 slots at any given time (depending on the amount of aircraft available), because it would be absolutely useless if you were not flying.. matter of fact, I'd go on to say that if you managed to select one of the pilot slots at the opening of the round, you should spawn directly in the jet (or right next to it) so that you're ready to go and don't have to fuss over TKs, racing, etc

Once you're killed in the jet, maybe a message could be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen (just like the kill tracking / flag capping notifications) like "F-18 piloted by [username] is down" and the pilot(s) slots would unlock automatically so that anyone playing could immediately apply for it (this part of the system would need to be carefully designed obviously to keep it fair), or something along those lines. I think it'd be great.

And to keep it straight, the Pilot Class would only be equipped with a pistol and a smoke nade maybe; if you eject, you're on your own.
