I wish it was coming out like tomorrow.

I like the new default kit selection, so many times I pop on a map and forget to change my kit and end up spawning an assualt when I wanted to spawn something else.

"If a player joins a squad while dead, the player will not be able to use Squad Leader as a spawn point until they have respawned once"

doesnt matter for us really, but a step in the right direction against SL switching scrim opponents

**WhiskeySix** · 04-25-2006, 07:36 PM

I wonder if MA would reconsider using SL-switching (for next week's scrim) now that this is officially coming down the pipe? (and proves the tactic is in fact exploiting a bug)

Changes look nice, but we will have to see the extent of the vehicle drop. Tank drops will completely alter gameplay. Car drops could even alter gameplay with 50cal usage on the vehicles for defense.

**Trooper** · 04-25-2006, 08:01 PM

I wonder how they are gonna do that vehicle drop. Would be rather cool to see a Chinock* fly over the battle feild and drop a hummer in. Or even a C130H drop it out the cargo hold. But then again cant see anything until i get this stupid thing to patch right...

What? Do I crush a few people with supply crates when I'm CO at practice? Oh, that's right. I smash everyone! Now I can do it in just one shot.

Lol. As if stealing an unoccupied enemy vehicle and killing an entire squad wasn't embarrasing enough... with that I could just grab the vehicle and use it as a battering ram, or if they're in it then I'll take them for a little ride!

**ChIck3nL3gz** · 04-25-2006, 08:23 PM

Yeah, co-op seems kind of lame to me. But the ability now to have vehicles air dropped is just badass.

But now people need to watch out for Milli more than they do now. hehe

**AbeRioGunman** · 04-25-2006, 08:27 PM

I agree. It would be nice if the choppers were able to lift vehicles and place them. Adds a new dimension. This sounds like it will work like a supply crate though.

**Trooper** · 04-25-2006, 08:31 PM

Cant wait to see the first video of a blackhawk droping troops above the falling vehicle, getting into it and gunning it as soon as it hits the ground, better yet the SL gets into it and your squad can spawn...ah gonna be fun!

"Added deterrant system against alternative ranking"

That makes no sense. EA/DICE blessed the alternative ranking systems and those systems have been coming along nicely. Smaller countries with no ranked server providers have been using it (rather than putting up with terrible pings) as have some of the mods. Are they trying to completely kill the modding community?

That is odd indeed. Maybe they are open to external ranking but they don't like the idea of clients modded to show different rankings.

Messages directly to players rocks. That has been broken since the beginning, and it has some uses, especially for us admins.

Agreed. That one is highly suspect.
