I can imagine it now, the jap commander dropping a tank onto the american carrier killing like 10 people waiting for the jet on wake :P

I would bet that the drops are only for troop transport vehicles like jeeps and Humvees, NOT aircraft, tanks, APCs or AA vehicles. If they let us drop the latter, the game would be a complete mess.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

Dropping just an FAV or Vodnik on the back side of the carrier will be enough to wreak havoc.

I wonder if you'll be able to man the guns on the vehicle as it descends. If so, it just begs for a stunt video of a guy skydiving into it.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

I don't think airdropping heavy vehicles will work, probably just light jeeps, and it will be on a long timer. I highly doubt you can spawn vehicles wherever you please just by asking for one...

And the point of coop mode is obvious. DICE are probably planning on upgrading the map editor, meaning AI can be supported properly and people can make objective based singleplayer maps using AI. With coop, maps like this won't fall derelict as people can enjoy them online.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

hmm wonder where they got the idea of dropping vehicles from?

The Real World, maybe? :p

Will being able to pick up mines of the same class be included this time? It was missed out of 1.2 an 1.21

Hear hear! I really hope they put that one in..

...He just said jap. commander and nobody said anything, this ain't 1942, there were no jets back then and not on that map if you count SWN

1.2 was great, I got my Expert Explosives Badge and won us Warlords because the mansion became a no man zone. Picking up explosives would be intressting, better then them just going away like with the wrench.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

Coop will keep most of the newer players and players without the top notch hardware playing the game and having fun without the frustration of the cheaters and seasoned idiots preying on them constantly.

Onslaught in ut2004 is a good example of that. Make the bots brutally accurate and you can have some good battles.

Apparently it's not everyone's idea of a good time, but nobody really cares what some of you think. I think it's a good idea, and I'll have my share of lan parties drinking and driving a tank...

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

Hope they do something about claymores.Nothing like tryn to cap flag with 20 claymores every where.Plus they kill you from 20 feet away.And snipers just run by you and drop'm boom your dead.
And fix the blackhawk guns are useless now to weak.

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

This is why I quit this game last week. They are not fixing what needs to be fixed but adding stuff to the game that will make it more buggy. I bet the Red/Blue Tag bug will STILL be in the game. Sorry I just had to say it because everyday the servers will be getting lower and lower in numbers because people are realizing a few things about EA and DICE. They havent from day one fix this game properly. Think about it how many of those hard bugs have been fixed?

Re: EA Community Update - 4/25/06

to all you people bitching about airdroping on the carrier, you need to realise that this is a battlefield, there is no "sanctuary". every single uncapturable has some form of defence and also commander assets. if the rational for telling people not to base rape is that the aa doesnt work properly, then we need to lobby dice to get that fixed rather than just making ******** rules. telling people not to base rape is like saying, removes many gameplay elements that are by any measure, important to gameplay. telling people not to base rape is like saying knives only. the roe should be adjusted to say admins cant tell people not to base rape. the entire point of the essex is to protect the carrier, if there is no base rape, theres no need for an essex. to sum it up, enemies actually have to be on the carrier to use said vehicle, so all they are getting is a 50 cal. and if by causing havok, you ment dropping on or infront of other vehicles, thats simply a factor of pilot awarness.
