netwalker's list of Bad Company 2 suggestions

[netwalker]

Hello all. I have 80 or so odd hours in Bad Company 2 and throughout my many lives I have come to realize a few improvements I would like to see incorporated into the game. Let me know what you think (as if any will actually make it in, lol.)

These are not necessarily bug fixes, just things I think would make the game cooler.


Ability to spot landmines.
The icon would look the same, be located at head/eye-level height and have the same color line connecting the icon to the mine so you can see that it is a mine and not an enemy. Stew and I talked about this the other day actually.


Auto-save kit loadouts.
It shouldn't be that difficult to save your kit preferences to your hard disk.


Make kit pickup require the player to look at the kit AND press a button.
For example, sometimes I have gone to disarm an MCOM and while holding down 'e' to disarm, I will pick up a kit or jump into a mounted gun inadvertantly. ANNOYING.


Fix the UAV 'invert fly' bug.


Fix the knife registration.


Bring back airfield helicopter repair.
If this seems overpowered, maybe make the helicopter have a finite amount of ammo so that it has to be reloaded at the airfield as well.


Add a tab with the ability to check weapon stars / stats while loading a map.
Possibly add the ablility to select kit loadout while the map is loading as well.


End round stars should have a tagline that tells the player why the star was awarded.
It's pretty dumb to just show you the stars and let you guess.


Ability to throw your knife like-uh-ninja.
Joking of course.

I like the autokit save, definitely need a knife fix. I do not however like the airfield repair. If you want to fly one of the heli's, go engy. Of course, it IS easy to knock a bird down.

Nice list. /me agrees to all.

I would have to say it was much more fun flying a chopper in BF2 where the helipad/aircraft carrier would repair you.

REMOVE THE FUCKING 40mm. no replacing, no nerfing, no buffing of everything else. remove this fucking piece of shit that has no intent but to be lame. seriously. just plain remove it.

Stew and I talked about this the other day actually. This would be awesome. I tend to just blow them up by shooting them, but if I blow it up with a teammate near it, it will kill them which sucks.
Auto-save kit loadouts.
It shouldn't be that difficult to save your kit preferences to your hard disk. Yea, this is one of the major ones being asked for on DICE's forums.
Make kit pickup require the player to look at the kit AND press a button.
For example, sometimes I have gone to disarm an MCOM and while holding down 'e' to disarm, I will pick up a kit or jump into a mounted gun inadvertantly. ANNOYING. DICE's temporary suggestion is to hold the 'arm' button long before getting to the mcom station, this way you arm it instead of pick up any weapons under you.
Fix the UAV 'invert fly' bug.
Fix the knife registration. Fix all hit registration :(
Bring back airfield helicopter repair.
If this seems overpowered, maybe make the helicopter have a finite amount of ammo so that it has to be reloaded at the airfield as well.
Add a tab with the ability to check weapon stars / stats while loading a map.
Possibly add the ablility to select kit loadout while the map is loading as well. I would really like to be able to set my loadout back at the main menu screen and also be able to modify it in game.
End round stars should have a tagline that tells the player why the star was awarded.
It's pretty dumb to just show you the stars and let you guess. This would be very useful :D
Ability to throw your knife like-uh-ninja.
Joking of course. MW2 throwing knives are fun.



my comments in RED

[netwalker]

Apparently, with the new ATI test drivers maps load in 5-7 seconds (probably a little faster with SSD) so my "while map is loading" suggestions are pretty much obsolete. But I agree with Brains that it would probably be better to let you select your kits at the main menu. That would be awesome.

[darklight]

My suggestion: tell me how many land mines I have that are live on the battlefield, i.e. haven't been blown by teammates or enemies ( like demoman stickies). It would be even better if I could see my own mines on the map like c4.

[Devant]

zomg right click detonate option for AT mines!

I kind of wish that you can lay down as many mines as you want, but any new mines you lay down automatically replace older mines. it sucks when you lay down all your mines blocking a couple roads but then like on rush, if they destroy both mcoms and everyone pushes up, those mines you left stay there. no body came by to detonate them, so I'm stuck not being able to lay down new mines because the old ones are still there.

allowing ppl to remote detonate it will be like having C4. they should do like what happens in TF2 with stickies...you can lay down more stickies buy any newer stickies after a certain amount active, will just replace the older ones (and those older ones just disappear).
