# The spotting system has been overhauled. Automatic spotting is practically gone. Squad leaders can send a contact report to the commander. The commander can confirm those reports and place markers on the map to warn the rest of the team


SL dont use the spotting system now anyway so this is good, hopefully people will get it


Weapons need to be reloaded manually

hardcore, good squads will reload after a firefight anyway


# Bunkers & Fire bases do not resupply soldiers and vehicles anymore

extreme but i guess its good for reducing bf2 ammo spam

Rally points can be placed anywhere. They are overrun and destroyed if 3 enemies get close to them or if 6 squad members die in their vincinity


well extreme and it might backfire but its a change that will be self controlling i guess especially with the 3 hostiles thing, hats off to who coded that


# Grenade launchers need to be fired at targets at least 30-40m from the shooter or the grenade will not detonate

totally gutted, one of my favourite kits since back from when they introduced deviation changes to it. I think 40m is a bit extreme since it only fires about 300m max or 100m effectively/quickly. It was so great for house clearing and round corners but a nerf was not unexpected

# The enemy tickets are not displayed

great idea, so simple it might just work out a few problems


# The main gun in any armored vehicle has a 30s usage delay

gutted again since (imo) 1 man in an apc using it defensivly often does better then 2 who rush without support, but maybe the coaxial and movement of the turret still works more quickly then that?


# Soldiers start to bleed out when their health drops below 75%

extreme, not sure why this is in but hopefully it plays good


# Insurgents can be arrested using the restrainer or the shotgun

shotgun arrest, excellent. Should be good, all shotguns in game are still slug only right?


# Limited kits have been reduced in number and are only reallocated every 10 minutes

Should bring worth to the medic class again and peoples respect for dying. Also as an extra positive it should stop people hopping straight back into another vehicle after respawn, so more respect for proper vehicle use. If I was designing a map, I'd put a few 9 min respawn vehicles in just for that reason
I might be thinking too far ahead there though, not sure if crewman or pilot counts as a limited kit in this sense, still theres hope it might

Thanks for the summary Ghostdog. Alot of these changes I did not expect and show more great thinking.


Plus engineer have no c4 now ?
