Kit change boxes were done in JO.

Don't like it. There is already too much competition for crates with the commander trying to repair his assets and the vehicle-using SLs wanting repairs. Adding in people who want to change kits will make it even worse. Isn't a good idea.

I like Wargimp's idea....for OFP. Just doesn't seem like it would fit too well in BF. The maps are too small and there are too many AT around. It would be awesome if servers were able to limit the # of AT /other kits per side. Then there would be a cool niche for that sort of thing.
The idea is good and it might work well in a mod sometime, but it'll be when Hell freezes over when we get that in standard BF2.

BTW Wargimp, I would like you for a Dev if you were competent enough and we were lucky enough. I like some of your ideas.

No offense, but I'm not hot for your idea. In fact, I think it's generally a bad idea. I can imagine a person sniping off half a squad before the squad finally reaches the sniper's position, ready to waste him, and then the sniper changes kits and wastes them all with a M203. Hell, imagine a whole squad of snipers that could instantly switch over to the assault/medic class.

Similar scenario. Tank approaches hostile flag. Defending infantry have a supply box? 6 SRAWs are instantly fired at the tank.

Changing class at a supply crate would essentially make it possible for a guy to play whatever class he needs to be. He would have no weaknesses since he can switch kits to cover up the flaws of each kit. Doesn't seem fair, right, or natural.


That's basically how I feel about it.

Did you miss the part where you have to wait for your ammo to load? Yeah, lets go back to that sniper scene you conjured up.

Sniper kills half the squad, here they come. Sniper changes kit, *click*

This is a great idea... and thus it will most likely never be implemented...

That’s a great idea. I think while the APC idea had merit, the supply crate one is better as it would have to be placed by the commander and it cannot be moved once dropped. I think it should be like JO where you can do it unlimited amount of times but only every 30sec or something.

That is the best idea I have heard in a long time.

From what I've read about Quake Wars. This will be available to do in that game. Can't wait to see how it compairs with BF2.

You could have a "Merchant" class, he can run around and find a spot and set up a booth and hand out kits to his team at a tidy profit of one point. And you could buy shares in his company!

ROFLLLES to the waffles this post is.....

Seriously though the supply crate/apc idea is good maybe make it that the kit change can only be done in a apc that has like a support guy in it....

Yeah Quake Wars looks sick...

Re: Idea: Change your kit next to a supply crate

This is probally one of the best ideas ive heard in a long time and I would love to see it implemented in the next patch, but probally not

Somehow I don't see the sniper having used all of his magazines (he has what, six?). Even then, he could just spam ammo packs with support class.

That wasn't my point anyway. I just don't think you should be able to have a magic option to switch to whatever class you wan't (except when you're respawning, obviously).
