Waitlist for vehicles, kits, etc

There should be some sort of streamlined waitlist.

So when noob A dies with the M14 marksman kit, there is a window of opportunity for noob B to get it.

Same for pilot kits. Its just unfair that some players get a kit or chopper or plane early and hog it, and use it poorly.

So lets say I get the pilot kit and hop in the A10 on Al Basrah. I fly around and die. It respawns 5 minutes later (or whenever the timer is set on it). I can't use it immediately. I have to wait a minute after its been available for everyone to use before I can enter it.

Its an idea. Imperfect as is, but there should be some kind of system to prevent people hogging sniper/marksman kits and valuable air assets.

What do you people think?

If there was teamwork through out the whole team, this shouldn't be a problem. But this would be too complicated for the n00bs, therefore, yes the reserve system could go to "share" the limited kits.

sense when do you have to wait for a pilot kit...

well you can't request limited kits like a few minutes after you got one. So if someone uses the sniper kit and keeps himself alive for some time he might get the kit again after he gets killed. But if he dies with it soon after he gets it it's going to take him a few minutes to get it back again.

So others do get a chance, unless the guys with limited kits can keep themselves alive for long perioids of time. (in which case I think they do deserve to get that kit)

The solution: Mappers must now make a red velvet rope for prospective pilots to wait in.

Heres the problem that I see with this Idea: Youve waited your turn and finally get into your chopper/jet. Then some noobish asshat comes and tks you. Now, you have to wait longer than he does to get into the vehicle...

^ and he gets banned from the server...
Of course it doesn't always work like that, but I don't think there are that many people who tk for vehicles anymore.

I think it should be so that if you team kill someone in a vehicle or have a negative teamwork score, you can't get a special kit until your teamwork score is 0 or higher.

I've never been team killed taking off in a chopper or plane before, I do have ******** jump on my vehicle and punish me, however. There needs to be some system to prevent griefers.
