having Climable trees is easier ^^ Smiley

Then can we have climbable doors?

When used the way it's supposed to be used, the Commander can be quite hectic. People stating how it's "boring" can't be using it right. The Commander is there to do more than spam artillery, supplies and UAV. His primary job is to command, not be some poor omni-benevolent Judea-Christian deity in the sky whose lot in life is listening to your prayers and giving you today your daily barrage. If he were, he'd probably have a whole lot more toys on his disposal and get a name like "Support", "Off-Map Tactic Aid" or "Yahweh, King of the Israelites". Heck, strike that, if that was his only purpose there's no way he'd be controlled by a human player in the first place, when a "If arty called, then arty" background script would've done a better job, like in World in Conflict.

Maybe desert maps are too slow-paced to really need a Commander, but Normandy is around the corner and I personally think the CO will become more useful when the new maps arrive. Having someone sit back with a bird's eye view of the action, with the peace and quiet to scheme and set up, organize and direct squads, can be invaluable to the team. Squad Leaders, being in the thick of battle, very often get tunnel vision, and it can be incredibly nice for someone with big yellow letters to go "Squad 2, it'd be jolly nice if you could move to support the eastern CP, which is, if you haven't noticed, facing heavy attack", or "Squad 1, we've got enemy tanks becoming a little too ferocious. We need you to go Anti-Tank and move to support (insert Control Point name here)".

It's a tired cliché, but if you're bored playing Commander, you're either not playing it right or it's not for you.

But yes, I say remove the supply crate and relegate it to a plane. Maybe make it so that when you call in a supply crate, a plane appears and drops it, and if you shoot down the plane, the crate doesn't get dropped? More than doable, but would probably need to be map-specific as not every area had supply planes handy.

As a side note, more player-controlled logistics can open for deep gameplay. Personally, I'd love to fly a "Tante Ju" or Allied counterpart, repelling enemy fighters as we neared the drop zone and prepared to drop our valuable supply of cargo, for then to enjoy a trickle of Resupply Points as the ground forces ate through the supply crate.

That's one hell of a first post from emi'.

Depends on whether or not you could make a flutter animation for the carried flag. Silent Heroes for BF1942 had a scout class that carried, among other things, a flag. If you planted the flag in the ground, it acted as a spawn point for paratroopers. Awesome gimmick, and allowed the player to lead infantry charges waving a flag .

In FH2? Would be nice, but I don't know what possible gameplay use it'd have, as BF2 doesn't use a morale system.

Ehm yes but if your with 2 persons holding a flag, how are the other flags getting in your control then?

Unless it's a very slow day, there will be more than three people on your team . Organize your team so that some players defend, while others attack. Or, if you have enough flags to make the enemy bleed, don't launch further attacks. Dig in as hard as you can and hold the Control Points until you win through ticket attrition.

If you notice when you place a mortar, it is always perfectly level, even it means parts of the mortar need to be sunk into the ground a bit because of uneven terrain.  The very nature of truly mobile arty (Wespes, Priests, Sextons, etc) mean that they cannot always be level, which means the current arty system can't work with them (the dials and such would be inaccurate because the gun isn't perfectly level).  Another problem would be constantly updating the dials every time the the vehicle moves the slightest bit (perhaps because of the recoil of the gun, or just the normal sliding down hills that BF2 vehicles suffer from).

Aren't you making this more difficult than it needs to be? Surely if terrain needs to be perfectly level for artillery, you can just make parts of the map perfectly level  ? These level parts of the map could even be labelled somehow on the minimap or in some other way. Dunno about BF2's coding, but maybe you could have some HUD feature like a little icon going "LEVEL" or "READY TO FIRE" when the vehicle is level  ?

I'm sure the devs have some reason for not including mobile arty, though. Lobo and others are very good at arguing their side.

Since everyone is so wound up about storming the cliché Omaha beach, I'll inevitably go German and machine gun them as they land .

If you don't want to be a team member then you don't get chances to experience teamwork. The accusation that everyone else is a lonewolf certainly points to your own level of team play along with them.

Wrong. I'm a team player and it's not my fault that the majority of FH2 people seem to be running around doing their own thing. Communication seems to be at a minimum as well, except from persistent artillery crewmen spamming for targets.
