Determined wrote:What happens on Fallujah when you play the MEC side? With no supply crate, not only can you not request AT, but no squadleaders can get officer kits. Even with a commander doesn't it seem a bit ridiculous that the entire team would have to wait for that stupid box to fall until they can request anything?

You don't even need a heavy-at on that map, 2 RPGs will take it down, if its facing you, get a rifleman to rearm you and you should be fine.

I suggest that players re-spawn in an APC should not be placed to the driver position.

You can get all other kits from RPs

I know.

This was my point:

On Fallujah, if you are MEC you have to have your squad leader spawn ALLLLL the way back at the mosque flag to get an officer kit. Now, if you are lucky enough to have a commander (which only occurs about 35% of the time) then he could drop a supply crate. After waiting forever for it to fall, you then have to locate it. That was my point, without a commander MEC has to take the long walk to either get a requested kit, or officer.

This is why i was getting confused. The map should not have forward spawn points on flags as far as i know, so basically AL FAL just needs to be fixed, not the RP system.

Like the changes, just one question: who "owns" the vehicle? Is it whoever is in first, or is it just the driver? If it's the latter, I could see this being a problem with APCs. Sometimes I'll take one and no one will gun for me, so I'll take it and put it in a safe place and start pounding away with it against infantry, and people will inevitably spawn in and be defaulted to the open driver's seat.

So if I'm gunning in an APC, and someone spawns in the driver's seat, "ownership" is going to go to that person.

Unless that's not how it works, which would be key.

Did u fix the Hemland Province glitch where it crashes when insurgents try to enter British Transport? Nobody will run this map because of this.
