New Commander Toy Ideas

Re: New Commander Toy Ideas

I think the commander should be able to draw on the map like the Planetside CR3+ commanders can :) You get better battleplans like defense lines and progression arrows or red circles where artillery is going to be dropped repeatedly. Also every now and then someone draws a dragon on the map or something cool like a penis on the oppositions base.

Drag and click selection of units would be win.

make it so they can call on about 10 computer controlled people to run in with TNT strapted to them, and bomb a certain area, or MEC could launch an anthrax bomb, that slowly drains health of people in the blast radius.

and the Chinese could call in a mini/tactical nuke, that leaves radiation in the area after it detonates. or they can use standard arty, but with more shells fired.

this isnt command and conquer generals dood

AC-130 flyover? =P I guess it would be an equivalent of an atry strike, but faster by a few seconds? Would probalby only be USMC only though

Re: New Commander Toy Ideas

and now since UAV's will be visible (and hopefully be a destructable ariel target, in which you can shoot down if you see one) its not like commanders would be able to "whore" UCAV's either

awesome idea fayadi, you should submit it to EA and DICE to see what they think, or make your on little mod

Thank you very much for appreciating the idea. I have to send it to them? Because I believe there will be people developer visiting this forum. The patch 1.2 plan of adding a UAV might be an idea of one of the poster here because I remember someone giving the idea UAV to be visible. Yeah how I hope, commander will have that ability..Imagine being a commander then you click home , you click a button "UAV targeting" and the screen turns into the tv missile mode of chopper co pilot. IMO tv missile capability is limited to destroying other machines and not effective against infantry so yeah I think no imbalance thingy

Re: New Commander Toy Ideas

one can only hope that the developers see this, cause we have a few good ideas. sure we have to work out a few flaws, but still good ideas

one that Six. and myself came up with is that if your team is all dead, and with no flags, the commander can call in a high altitude transport plane to paradrop all of the forces onto the battlefield to try and get some CP's back. keep in mind, that the commander could only do this once a round, and only if their team has no flags

Re: New Commander Toy Ideas

Oi! but that was my idea! all you did was publish it on this thread!

...Just kidding, I'm fine with it, it's just an idea. All these one-off facilities though... it is an interesting concept. And yeah, I suppose a last-moment reprieve will always make the game a bit more interesting.

Yes, it was your idea, but i put the paratrooper touch on it. thats why i said we both came up with it

Re: New Commander Toy Ideas

What i think would be a good idea for the commander is the abilty to drop ammo bags and medic bags on the battlefield over a wide area say about the size of a uav and about 20 or 30 bags. The reason im suggesting this is there have been so many times im out of ammo and asked for ammo but the commander sends it to the tank to repair it . I dont blame the commander for doing this but if theres no support players around or medics it can get very frustrating and at times you may aswell suicide.

I know! kit exchanging stations! Plus- I reckon you should be able to heal up and collect ammo from capture points. Perhaps the kit exchanging station could be established at capture points and such.

Remember the medic cabinets and re-supply cases in BF1947, BFDC and BFV? they should make a return to BF2. I think we miss them.

I think it'd be funny however, when both friendlies and enemies go on a medic bag and ammo bag collecting fest while trying to kill each other :P

Yeah i do remember that and i do actually think they should make a return. Reallying exclusivly for ammo and health of your teamates was a bad bad idea. The way the medic & support classes work in game is great im not saying get rid of that but it would be nice to have another source of health and ammo incase your stuck on a server and everyone wants to be SF and the commanders to buisy looking after the armour (i honestly dont blame commanders for doing that its the right thing to do).

Hell, I mean- since BF2 is an emulation of 'real life' battle... aren't real soldiers trained in first aid? c'mon- give them a few bandages, and I'm sure they know how to look after themselves. We demand medical cabinets!!!

And hey, that adds another element to the game- medical cabinets and resupply cases can be booby trapped as well
