Rules for war have always struck me as odd. Couldn't you make a rule against killing people?

I guess that's a sandbox topic.

You may fire at a medic as long as he is "in combat circulation". Meaning, you cannot shoot him while he is treating someone, or en route to a wounded man. Same for Paratroopers. It's commonly believed that you cannot fire at paratroopers according to the Geneva convention. In actuality, it's only pilots who bailed out that you cannot fire at. Paratroopers are in combat circulation, and you may engage them at will.

I'll shutup now.

You got there first. : )

Additionally, wounded persons are techically out of combat, however, if those wounded radio enemy movements/locations, call for fire or other combat actions then they are making themselves combatants again.

Much the same protection exists for prisoners of war (although it is administered differently)--- a uniformed soldier who has surrendered has a protected status. In fact it is REQUIRED that surrendered solders not only be left unharmed but you are to actively protect and care for your prisioners from the moment you take custody. Again, there are certain actions which can void that protection.

I'll suddup now. : )

The protection extends to those that have surrendered. That would be an interesting TacMod, a drop kit function. Dunno what the point would be though, you'd be out of the action for the rest of the game.

But back to topic. I call out things as well, plus give direction to team members that I can see. I think it makes up some for what we miss by having a real directional sense of where fire came from. In real life, you'd have heard gunfire from behind the building and me swear my head off. That would be enough to direct you my way...

Lately I find that if the game ends while someone's channel is open, their channel stays open through the the next two screens, and only closes when the next map starts loading. I've heard a couple veerrry interesting things...

I always wondered about that. I just thought the person kept their mic button down when the round ended, but thinking about it now, that wouldn't make sense. I'll have to watch myself talking at the end of rounds now.

I like that idea of having POW's in Tac mod because then you have even less people for attacking because they have to guard the POW's. It would then be the POW's job to escape from the guards. It would add an interesting aspect to it, give the people who are the guards batons to keep control of the prisoners. Who knows it would be fun, or have the prisoners build tunnels to escape or make radio transmitters to say come and help us. If a prisoner is killed have a point taken off their team and also have 2 points taken off the shooters team for letting the prisoner die.

That would pretty awesome, but I think it's a little beyond the scope of TacMod. I think the purpose of TacMod was to make BF2 more realisitc but keep the base gameplay about the same (still capping flags and such). If someone makes a mod like the one you're suggesting I'd certainly give it a try though.
