marine combat

alot is being suggested about vehicles and combat but the seaborne side is being sadly neglected especialy since there is alot of maps in bf2 that include waterways and the fact that the usa force are marines. the marines main specialitty is sea to land assaults so surely they would be supported by a number of lighter and heavier vessels. there are loads of great boats that could be included in the mod the royal marines hovercraft for a start please add any comments

i think hovercraft

.

But seriously we do need somthing like the SBS. Special boat service who are mainly derived from marines who have excelled in there class with 2 years experience or more. obviously the other part of the special english forces. The other being the SAS, Special air service.

We do need to think about these forces and how they are going to be used.

I have a bad feeling that if the SAS or alike are going to be used in reality mod they wont be used how they should be. Defining classes for each purpose in a game would prove difficult without a set scenario which obviously cant happen because this is multiplayer.

Edit: just checked your update and you do have a hovercraft pic

. and since BF2 does have that vehicle programmed in its a must surly!

the problem is u cant just have 1 class and call it marines because the marines have there own sappers, medic, snipers etc. u could have a navy class but to drive the ships and man the guns but it might not be much use. heres an idea 4 a map say that theres a big battleship belonging 2 one of the mec countries and the us/uk navy sends one of its carriers in to sink it and say there are islands between the 2 ships and both sides gotta use all there resources to win ie sending in marines to take the islands, using ships aa guns to take down enemy planes, pt boats to take out any small sips and then use artillery/planes/marine assault to take the other ship down.

yeah if theres gunna be stuff like hovercrafts youd need a hovercraft pilot class because not everyone im sure can drive those.

The hovercraft was in BF2 untill right before launch. It was taken out to be put in the new expansion pack.

From the BF2 box:

"Take on the role of a variety of solider classes, including Assault, Sniper, Special Ops, Engineer and more. Head into battle by land, sea or air utilizing tanks, helicopters, hovercrafts, fighter jets and more. Transform different vehicles to fit your needs with soldier kits to turn a vehicle into a mobile aid station or a helicopter into a flying ammo dump."

And on the "features" list on EA's official BF2 site:

*Experience an ever-changing battlefront with maps that scale to the number of players
*Drive, fly and control more than 30 land, sea and air vehicles, including tanks, helicopters, hovercrafts, fast attack vehicles and fighter jets
*Fight for either the United States, Chinese or the Middle East Coalition, each with unique arsenals

*cough* RIPOFF *cough*

(and "unique arsenals" my arse!)

DC had a hovercraft

and yea some people actually posted the model EA had for BF2 of it (cant remember which forum

i hated it in DC it was an invitation for people to act stupid on one of my fav servers they put it on Lost Village and everyone tried to drive it way up into the mountains, itd get stuck then snipers would surround it and tear anyone who spawned there to bits

that being said id like to see the new version of the AAV, the EFV
