New class ideas?

LMAO. They also need to get points for teamkills.

To other people, who have suggested the Enemy Territory-ish uniform stealing: With the BF2 Punish system, this would simply get a lot of people banned for trying to stay vigilant.

Well, with my buildable defense ideas...

1.) People will clog spawns by building turrets on the spawn position.
2.) FF-Off servers will have doors blocked by "Friendly" emplacements that can't be blown.
3.) Building on slopes will make things fall out of the level.
4.) For some reason, you can build a TOW on top of a tank and have the uberdeath vehicle.

A pilot with an MP5K, and make them the only class who can fly and use a parachute.

Re: New class ideas?

I'd like to see a new Anti-War class ... just a bunch of protesters marching the streets of Karkand and Mashtuur holding up signs that say "Make Love, Not War", and make them a 3 point kill with a 5 second re-spawn time. All noobs must play this class for 2 hours before unlocking the other classes.

Basically, if you can't beat down the guy waving the G36C with your protest sign, you are cannon fodder.

Re: New class ideas?

Seeing all of these Spec-ops guys blownin people up with C4 makes me really want to see a Sapper class. Armed only with a pistol and grenades, the Sapper explodes either when killed or when he detonates himself. Crack pipe optional

Re: New class ideas?

I have an idea for the noobs. It's derived from the Special Ops class.

It's called the Jihad class, exclusively for the MEC army. You spawn with five C4 charges placed around your waist. You do not receive a rifle nor a pistol. Only a small detonation stick. When pressed, the soldier with yell "JIHAD!" and then explode. The radius for the explosion will be far greater than a C4 from special ops, mines, tank round, or a bomb from a jet. You do not lose points for killing yourself.

This also introduces new medals/awards. For every successful Jihad you receive a certain amount of virgins. For every 300 virgins earned, you will receive the Dirka-Dirka medal which unlocks more effective C4 charges hidden in a special design turban.

No riots went on concerning my post?

Re: New class ideas?

Pilot class only they can fly & only get a pistol so if they bail easy pickings.

Actually, I think a 'Vehicle driver' class is a good idea. pistol only, no other class can drive vehicles.

You used to be able to stick C4 to yourself. This 'feature' was removed. Pity, it's a valid tactic if you ask me.

Re: New class ideas?

NEVER underestimate the pistol.

i deeply hate teh pistol...getting basic/veteran pistol badge has been such a pan in the butt ...its weak..inaccurate..and weak

Re: New class ideas?

Shoot them in the face. 2 hits, dead.

I've taken out 2-3 guys at a time standing dumbfounded at me while I've click-click-clicked them with the sniper pistol.

LOL, talk about funny. I dont see nothing wrong with bashing suicide bombers.

Dirka Dirka award, ROFL.

Personally, a pilot class will look like this. A shotgun with M95 ammo to hit through the cocpit (less aiming, faster ejecting), or an ERYX for that matter. Then, a bunch of medic packs to go when youre out fo borders if you get the plane. Also, faser running speed to outrun those pesky medics and snipers, a greater jump distance wouldnt hurt either.

I´d dig that one.

Re: New class ideas?

Classes are dumb, and please don't say that they promote - they do not. Hell, the game was (is?) unbalanced at various times using their kit system anyway.

DICE should just create a points system for all weapons and equipment and allow soldiers to mix and match whatever they please. Some combinations wouldn't be allowed (C4 and resupply, for example), but you could mix most things as long as the point values allowed for it.

You could even make one of the equipment items a pilot's suit, if a pilot "class" gives you wood.

Ultimately the point system is far more flexible and fun, allowing the individual to explore hundreds of combinations and develop a unique loadout.

I´m intrigued by this idea. Care to sink into details because theres something I didnt quite get.

There should be a variety of weapons available right? If you choose the AT rocket launcher you can only choose a pistol as backup?

If you choose C4 you can only get a silenced pistol as backup?

As a medic you can choose between SMGs or pistols?

And so on? There should be a whole new system set up, which weapon can be mixed with the others, but I guess it would work out the best, and most interesting. ATs dependant on squads (assaulters).

But the pilots suit, I dont quite get it. Why "pilots suit". Specializing on a certain tool could and utilizing a suit for it could only work if that suit really does something. For example you can access a jet only if youve chosen the pilot suit and with pilots suit you only get a pistol (or PDW SMG). As stated- many camp a jets so youve got pilots running around.

Although were still dreaming here, a way around the difficult situation regarding "suits" and "aircraft" would be nice to read.

EDIT: Thanks for the link, gothca. I remember a game I used to play on 486, where there was "loadout weight", I believe this would work a bit better. maximum loadout = 20 Kgs.
