it was an idea, but it was an incredibly stupid idea with no god damn thought put into it at all.
This guy probably got unlucky enough to be spawn raped by a tank on karkand just before he made this post, and was probably still pissed off at the time and just thought "hey why dont i go and spam the forums on bf2s with complete and utter shite and see if anyone else is dumb enough to agree with me".
are u retarded?? it was a suggestion to see what other peopel would think....

not retarded, just fed up with people complaining about this game for no real reason at all even though it has been a major success, has an expansion pack within a year of the original game, 2 boosters that are practically ready for release within the next month, has been shipped to the consoles to try and get success there aswell and also has a number of guys that are closing in to 2000 hours on this one game alone.
So what, that it has a fair few imperfections or things you want changed, fact is this game is pure quality and you know it.

ok, perhaps i was a bit harsh but the idea is silly, it would be taking away a crucial part of this game and in theory would never happen anyway, so why post it here, thats all i was trying to say.

Go and play CS if you want infantry combat and stop complaining about BF2, ffs.
The vehicles are an integral part of this game and make the game what it is.

Wow, someone made the effort to post some suggestions only to be flamed... I guess those flaming him must be feeling very high from this..

Anyway, back to topic, I kinda think the idea can be improved. Instead of only spawning once, the tank/APC can be damaged (cannot be used) but left at where its broken. It can only be 'revived' by a engineer. Perhaps this can reduce vehicle whores from camping at the spawn points and actually make people want to push on.

Of cos a limit can be set on how many times it can be 'repaired' (like maybe 3 times) and afterwhich it will spawn back again. Other things needs to be considered like tank dropping into a river should be instantly destroyed like now.

But I think we all know we can only dream with these suggestions.. this game is too broken now for such 'improvements' no matter how good it is..

well every time armour is destroyed it respawns.the more it respawns the more its destroyed.follow me?your problem is obviously with armour that is not being destroyed.if that is the case then respawning isnt an issue.sorry if logic is confusing sometimes.the more times a vehicle is awaiting respawn the longer it is out of the game.DONT CHANGE THE GAME,CHANGE YOUR TACTICS!

1. Agreed.
2. CS constitutes random headshots, not infantry combat.
3. While I like vehicles (and sometimes whore them according to others), I also enjoy the troop vs. troop element of this game, and would love it if a few official maps were released without the benefit of any vehicle but the meanest transports. Variety never hurt anyone, you know.

Hmm...story time!

I was playing a 32-player match on the 16-player Gulf of Oman. Towards the end, most of the vehicles on the map were limping or otherwise occupied with one flag, and unwilling to crawl out in the open. The rest of the map was open season on MEC soldiers. Me and a buddy sniped arab after angry arab, until they began pouring out of bushes and around shanties in innumerable hordes, trapping us back at the sandbagged base near the US start and slaying us with many grenades, as we ran out of claymores.

Quite the experience.

yeah that would work... once the tank/apc is damaged enough it is immobile and cant do anything until an engi repairs it... thats actually a good idea

set a time out limit on people trying to use the vehicle say, 1 minute, after they just died in it, and have an instant respawn time for the vehicle.... no more tk'ing, no more whoring

Yeah, real good idea there....



One camper and say goodbye to armor for the rest of the round. How about you have to wait for a revive to get back in the game. Or why doesn't EA make it so you have to wait a couple months after your guy has been shot for you to play again. And if the bot surgeons can't repair it, your dude is handicap/paralyzed and you'll have to create a new account.

You act like THREE pieces of armor are impossible for a team of anywhere between 8 to 32 players to take out. I bet you're one of those who keeps spawning in as medic/sniper/support/assault at the same place on Kark where a tank is parked.

Post ur opinions
You know what increases the enjoyment of the game? Playing it. As is. Stop trying to change the game and start encouraging everyone you know, and don't know, to be more mature and honest while playing it.

Heres a note, why not have a spawn protect for like 3 seconds.  Gives you a chance.

We should initiate a poll

What do you want Battlefield to be like?
What it is
Rainbow Six
Couter-Strike
Street Fighters
Super Mario 0wnz y00


OMG why don't the people stop moaning about everything in the game? If you think something is overpowered or whatever, you have 3 options. Keep getting owned -or- do the same -or- uninstall Battlefield.

If people whore armors, then it's because they want to have fun in an armor. Other people want to have fun in a plane. Grab something that you find cool and play it, whatever it is.

sorry, didnt mean to flame, but be real. NO ARMOR? come on thats just not right. just like Maj.Do said: "...Its easy to take out armor, just spawn somewhere else and dont shot from the same place.  If its your last flag, then its your teams fault for not defending...".
well i didnt say NO armor i just said let it spawn once

maybe it should spawn like 3 times but not unlimited times
Maybe you should post once and not nulimited times so STFU and go play minesweeper.

Wow, such hostility.  I do think it's funny that someone with the tag "ApacheCobra" is criticizing someone of being a "tank whore."  I immediately figured ApacheCobra was a chopper whore but after checking his stats he only has 60 hours in choppers (that's out of almost 400 hours played, but still a lot of time in a chopper.)

All I know is that people make themselves easy targets just sitting around and waiting for vehicles of any sort to spawn.  And personally those are the people that I think of as "fill in the blank whores."  The people that are always in the vehicles just hit "E" faster than everyone else.  (which is why I get on empty servers and practice hitting "E".)  I say fly if you want or tank if you want, but don't sit at a spawn point waiting for it like a n00b and for god's sake, don't teamkill so you can get the freakin' vehicle.

I do agree to some extent that all vehicles seem to respawn too quickly.  Maybe have a 2 minute wait for vehicles to respawn, or leave it the way it is, who really cares.

But if there were no tanks I think there should be no choppers and if no choppers than no jets, and if none of that stuff than no AA, no TOW, no Anit-tank, no C-4, and no engineers.  So let's talk to EA and see if they can create a first person shooter type game without any of that stuff...maybe they could call it...Bond?

As a closing note, there is one server (Smurf Village maybe) that I've seen that in the comments while the map is loading it says something like: "Base/spawn raping is allowed on uncappable bases.  This is war, fight or die."  I'm sure that's not exactly right but you get the point and I think that applies here.

See you on the battlefield (I'll probably be in a tank, apc, or chopper because I really do have amazing "E" button hitting skills.)

I'll make this simple for you, if vehicles only spawn once, players should only spawn once. Nobody wants that, so leave the vehicles alone.
