Certain "laddies" are a prime example while Old People shouldn't discover the interweb. RIGHT!

hahaha

Actually.. for those wondering what the purpose would be... it would be too add an element of fun and.. civilian dynamic. I'd LOVE to see civilians around in some of the maps and getting major punishments for killing them. That'd be awesome.

Except the big problem I see with the idea is that they can really get in the way by "helping their friends" by standing in front of them while they run for a flag. Camera guy at a cap-zone and no body can use grenades.

Well, I'd guess you could still kill the camera man, but lose some points by doing so. If I am shooting an enemy, and a camera man gets in the way he will be killed.

Give the cameraman a longer respawn time so he'll be careful not to get in the way of things.

This would only work if you didnt lose points for killing him. Who says its wrong to kill them in the real world? They're not allowed to walk into Iran and start filming their scientists enrich uranium.

well, i think the ROE, UN, and the Geneva Convention say that you cant kill them.

ok a wacky idea for this popped into my head.

the camera man is a VIP and rather than points for getting him to point A to B
points are given for being close to the action so he gets points for being part of a squad that caps the or near a tank when it blows up.
and he must get so many points for the team to win the round.

he has a LONG respawn.

this idea means he wouldnt just be a US asset he could be given to the Opposing sides aswell as they have a need to recoard properganda

howabout a psyops operative in a clown costume... sent to disconcert the enemy and lull them into a false sense of security...

however... there are going to bo so many request for classes - what's realistic for a combat game ? I mean I think there really should be civilians in some of the maps to stop people from spraying bullets *everywhere* and for realism's sake... even a Hostage Airliner mission would be a nice one... with attacking team set to rescue the hostage and defending set to keep them imprisoned on the plane...

A while ago, a few people put together "Movie additions" for the different Battlefield games and mods.

They were made for,well, making movies, and add a bunch of stuff that helps when making a movie.

the only one thing is that who would actually play as that class? and at this point with only a 64 person server we need everyone playing that we can get.
