Instead of the flurry of little explosives we have now, this is how I think it should be done.

MLRS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLRS
It would be a system similar to this ^.

The commander could call in a rocket from a satalite or maybe from the titan. It would have two modes.

Standard warheads: these would cause one large explosion capable of completly destroying anything with in 5 meters of the blast. So this would require percise aiming. The explosin would take out any vehicle in 1 hit, and perhaps even take out commander assests.

1 missle for any vehicle.

Airburst warheads: these would explode about 30 feet in the air and rain down metal shrapnel. This feature would be ineffective against armored vehicles; however, completley devistaing to infantry and light vehicles. This feature would cover an area of about 30 meters and release non explosive metal shards, that would kill a soldier in one hit. A soldier has a small chance of surviving, it would have similar effects that orbital strikes currently have, except no splash damage. 

1 shard to kill a person

3 shards to destroy an FAV

What do you think of my idea?

Screw that, let's make it Railgun strikes from orbitaling titans. You get like 20 seconds to decide where to shoot them, so infantry, vehicles, everything.

You idea is ok. Minus the fact that it's the FUTURE now. MLRS's /fail in the future.

Sounds like a great idea, i never liked the lack of options being a commander.  This is 2142, so surely the modern battlefield commander would have far more options???. The orbital strike is virtually pointless at the moment, so just about any change would be better!!

how about retargeting the Anti-Titan missles to become something like the SCUD?

Would be nice.. Since now, everytime there's an enemy walker, I first have to EMP the bitch, and immediatly after place an orbital strike to take it out.
It would be nice to have one strike to kill enemy Walkers/Tanks. And still have another strike available for infantry.

Why would there be a present day weapon in 2142?

Wouldn't mind it in Bf2 though

I sya it's a good idea. although airburst should be able to some serious damage to armour too, just not kill it. have you seen what airburst can do to a bunker? and I can just imagine an airburst smashing into a walker.

I kill plenty of infantry with the orbital strike. You just have to pick your moments.
