BF2S Forums Recon Points

ONLY if the enemy dies while still on radar, because commander would obviously exploit it to get a shit load of points if they got a point simply for pointing out the enemy.

Omg my friend, just stop and think of all that damm spaming that would go on

I would go crazy, and am sure many of you would

You know, I would've thought that the "if they die while spotted" thing was a good idea...but you're right...the fucking SPAMMING that would go on.  I mean, it's already pretty obnoxious.  If people got points for it...it's flood the damn radio...ugh...I'm terrified just thinking about it.

Radio's spammed enough as it is already.  I've even met morons that spam a boat's on Karkand.  I figure why not have something good come out of it?  (At least the true ones)

Hmm I think the getting a point idea if you spot an enemy and he/she dies while still on the radar is good, but I don't like the badge idea. There is no point and shows no skill as it will too easy to unlock

Recon in fact is an elite skill so we just need to figure out how to translate it into the game. First I think Lone Wolves should not be allowed to use it.

I like the idea because it promotes teamwork skills. Instead of wasting bullets everyone will be spotting targets on their way to wherever.

If you had the spot and kill point how could it be exploited? that will be the key to the idea dying. Lets say you get a couple guys ina transport helo to do aerial recon, they could rack up points but it would be dangerous and would help the team...could be padded in mashtuur though, not much to shoot down helos there.

What if it only counts if the commander marks a a recon objective.

And to the guy who pointed out the spamming will be intolerable yes true - how can we fix that? How about a separate text area for chat and a different area for spotreps and battle damage?
