This should probably go in the Improvements Section. I think there are probably already several posts on this topic, but I would like to see a return of jumping and firing for at least the knife and pistol, and maybe the shotguns. I'm ok with the other weapons not being able to fire when jumping, although it never bothered me in the first place. Other changes I'd like to see include Less accurate PKM's and the ability for Claymores, and AT mines to detonate on friendlies again. As it is right now, players just litter the streets and alley ways with them hoping for skill-less kills.

I also have a suggestion for a fairly major change that has to deal with artillery. I think commanders should still get points for killing with arty but players that are killed by it shouldn't get a death counted against them since it's a skill-less kill. The exception might be a TK by an allied commander since players should be looking  at their minimap for the artillery icon. But sometimes you just can't escape it even when you see it come up on the minimap.

To sum it up. Arty gives commander kills but doesn't give victims a death in their stats. I kow this isn't realistic, but it's better for game play balance. I don't even care if it causes the team to still lose a ticket, just don't give the player a bad mark on their stats for something that they couldn't predict or prevent.

Might as well knock off deaths from choppers and jets too. Not much you can do to prevent that 500 pounder falling on you, or that tv guided/laser guided missle coming from no where.

things I would like to see...

1. return of explosive shells on BH
2. make the shoeboxes (MEC/PLA transport chopper) more than just a flying coffin
3. return of jumping and tossing of ammo/health/c4...and knife/pistol as well
4. make it a little easier to get repair points...maybe it's just me but unless you stat pad, it's impossible to get 25 repairs in one round
5. nerf the support accuracy a tad....you know..JUUUUST a tad </sarcasm>
6. return of friendly claymore/AT detonation
7. point(s) for shooting down UAV
8. ridding of the TK punish...way overabused
9. make it possible to actually get a successful kick vote in larger servers
10. increase healing speed of supply crates...to match a medic holding a med pack
11. allow penetration damage for tank shells
12. allow for spawning on the commander (for squad leaders)
13. make tanks able to destroy assets...if jet bombs can do it...so should tank shells
14. allow winching on transport chopper (for easier pickups)
15. allow a point bonus for all team members in "total ownage" games...sortof like the commander bonus but not 2x...maybe a 1.33 or 1.5 bonus for winning by more than 200 tickets or so
16.  because of the incredible AA, allow jets to reload flares a little faster, but not to the point of being a heli
17. make it possible for a one-shot-kill on a tank with a SRAW/Eryx (w/o this...it gets very frustrating on Karkand)
18. decrease the blast radius of the claymore (I swear I keep getting killed by it from 20+m)
19. allow jet repairs along the entire runway...like the choppers can...and not just by where it spawns...it's very frustrating to have to make 5-6 passes to get repaired and you don't wanna land for fear of base rapers and TKers

Don't forget #20, More Cowbell. 

some cool idea's, try passing them on to EA. cant hurt

Lower the accuracy of the PKM, make it like the other LMG's.  (accurate, but not more accurate than a rifle, for christs sake)  Plus the red/blue tag glitchs.

Chinese Special Forces would be cool..... but EA realized that all of the noobs hate the PLA maps, so they said F this and didn't even bother to add a PLA Special Forces to the expansion.... pretty lame if you ask me.  They could've had the type 95 or 85 whatever assault rifle for the assault kit.

6. Throwing nades into tanks made possible

I love this idea, I found myself ontop of a enemy tank the other day looking down the hatch saying "why cant i just put this in there!!".

Strike one, swing and a miss.

I want the jump/throw combo back. Its pretty hard to toss some C4 packs around when you can't jump them off. Now they just sort of drop where you're standing. I used to toss them up high on fences and poles near flags to blow choppers that hover over the flags (like on Mash city)

I'm not sure why it is they took the jump/throw thing away anyways, I thought the problem was with bunny hopping. What they should do is allow the jump/throw, but make the jump feature delayed by like a couple seconds so you won't have bunnies hopping all over the place, or disable the hop/shoot but allow the hop throw.
