On the tactical mod, are there any plans for changes to kits? This would allow certain unlocks on certain teams etc. available if they fitted. Or even better, putting more smokes in to make it more tactical, perhaps for lesser kits like AT or engineer, but AT are used alot in TG squads... Any other ideas?

What if we spiced up the game with an option to pick and match weapons and equipment, kinda like in CS:S. You pick the engineer shotgun, the AT rocket, and a smoke grenade. Limit certian combinations like the AT rocket with the Assault kit and the AT mines, that would just be overkill. Or limit things in the way of weight, like you can have more shotgun ammo for 1 less AT rocket.

Duke has not changed the primary weapons, but he has done stuff with the frags and smokes..

We have made some minor changes to the kit contents. All kits now have some number of smoke grenades and the amount of ammo has been modified for various weapons. We're currently considering giving the Assault class flashbangs instead of smoke grenades and slightly increasing the number of smoke grenades that other classes have.

That would be awesome. You could be a sniper, but swap in your frag 'nades for medpacks and your claymores for ammo packs. Then you would be almost unstoppable as long as you kept your distance from the enemy. Or you could get mines and an ammo pack to become the one man minefield. Of course, if you made it so that any kit could carry medpacks or ammopacks then there wouldn't be much teamwork because each player could be totaly self-reliant.

I'd love to play as medic with some body armour though.

Yes, and thats why you would limit certian combinations, like pick one from this category:
Ammo pack
Body Armor
Med Pack/Shock Paddles

If you were to implement a system like that youd have to completely restrict items that define kits, medpacks, ammobags, paddles, c4 etc. which essentially leaves you with customising small bits like nades, ammo, smokes etc. and primary weapons.
The best thing would be to just add in new 'unlocks', so youd get the m16/m203/smokes or m16/m203/flashes when you click that unlock button. I can understand not adjusting primary weapons because even when you do change it in accordance with the forces respectivly it would be unbalanced, how many unlocks fit in with MEC/China?
Good idea with the smokes, but all kits? thats going to be interesting.

Tear gas please!

the whole reason that youre not able to do this from the start is because each kit is useful for a specific purpose. You give ammo to the medic no need for that support guy. You give health packs to a sniper...medics are going to become obsolete. You have those classes and other classes there for a reason. Each kit complements another.

that being said, i wouldnt mind a few more smoke grenades per kit. And the big smoke nades that last a while :-D

Very true, thats why i said you shouldnt adjust pieces of kit that define that class. Which actually makes it diffucult to find things to change that would still make it balanced.

kool kit changes would be nice exspecially to us engineers with the dum shotgun

JimmyTwoHand

Follow Robocop around for a bit (the original obviously). Wont seem so dumb then. The engineers can really be formidable with a tank and room to repair. As someone mentioned above each kit compliments the others, an engineer with an assault rifle is going to unbalance the game. The whole ying-yang thing.
