Get rid of arty and have a mortar class like Joint Ops did.

Up the number of fast transports, decrease flag cap time, and increase the arty firing rate to semi realistic levels, say......2 shots a minute.

2 shots a minute as in more accurate shots instead of barrages?

I think commanders, and I am guilty of this, spend more time worrying about where to drop the arty next than actually commanding.  Take the arty away, have a mortar class, and the commander may actually command.

Yes, 2, well targeted shots per arty piece, per minute,  instead of random pointless barrages.

He does have a point

Teh mortar class is gonna be such a easy target, since u need to unfold the damn mortar, aim and fire, reload and crap, the game is too fast for mortars teams

I know, the wink was supposed to signify it was a joke.

I just think there are too many classes as it is. Assault and medic should be merged because the only difference is the GLs and weapons, or maybe assault and anti tank? Give the SRAW to the assault and there you go.

I dunno, It would be fun to experiement. That's what I like about 2142s system, 4 main classes that you can upgrade to your liking.

Did you ever play joint ops?  It was actually kind of quick to deploy, just a bitch to run with.

I don't think we should turn BF2 in to joint ops, BF2 was meant to be more arcade and not as realistic.

Let's see what happens when you give a retard a mortar. I'm sure it will be quite amusing.

I think it would be cool, each squad can have a mortar person, who can hang back a bit, and the squadleader could call in fire missions.

No, don't remove artillery.  Instead change the way it works.  Give Spec Ops and snipers a designator to pick out targets, after that the players controlling the cannons get an overhead view of the target area for a few seconds and can fire at will.  Also, make the UAV commander controlled with 1 guided missile (just like the TV missiles) instead of the circling UAV we have now.

You would need to make it worth some good points to sit in an arty cannon all round.

Also, the more people operating cannons means the more chances it's a retard that wants to TK.

Since I play city maps, arty is the most annoying thing in BF2 for me, because I get hit by hit 80% of the time.

YES! YES! YES!   PLEASE take away the damn artilery.  That is just killing way too many people.

And lets get rid of the weapons while we are at it.  So many damn times you get all the way across the map and then some stupid weapon kills you.  That really sucks to have to die just cause some guy shot at you. 

Vehicles. I'm really tired of getting shot or ran over by vehicles (this includes aircraft), these need to be taken out for sure.  Without vehicles there will be much more time for runing around the map and stuff and much less dying (dying is bad and besides, nobody really likes it anyway).

The flags should probably go as well.  Seems like everybody is always fighting over them and it inevitably turns into a big brawl.  People just start fighting everywhere.  If flags are causing so much mean stuff, they are more trouble than they are worth.  Ok, no more flags.  They only make the teams get mad at each other.

Also, I think we should only get points for spotting someone.  It can be like a big game of hide and seek only with cool uniforms and stuff and then if you spot someone you will get a point or a cookie (ooooh, ice cream maybe). Only maybe uniforms should be taken out too.  They are from war and war is bad (people get killed and stuff when war happens).  Just let people have civilian clothes or something like that.

I also think we could add some stuff like ice cream stands and maybe some people can be in charge of those and maybe a cool place where people could hang out together (kinda like they have in the Sims only maybe we could have some underage clubs too for the night maps). 

OK.  This will make the game much better.  Kthanks.


JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE COULD WE JUST LEAVE THE GAME ALONE WHILE THERE IS STILL SOMETHING LEFT OF IT?
