Change some of the civillions to a TV crew

In All war there are TV crews/reporters there. Why not change some of the stone trowing civies to a camera man or reporters?

It would be fun to see in game.

What do you think?

Reporters are never, ever (or, very rarely) seen anywhere near combat. There's a reason you never hear or see of the combat operations going on in the Triangle of Death. They're never there.

Bad idea.

not realy , there are lots of embedded reporters following combat units all the time. alot of the youtube videos are filmed by them , some tho by the soldiers them selfs of course.

and there no more pointless that civilians if u put it that way.

Hey, the third worst idea ever is suggested for the fifth time! Congrats!

It wouldn't be cool, it wouldn't be conducive to gameplay. A "rescue" the prisoners type mission sounds pretty cool though. Extraction style where you have to fight into a compound and then evac.

There were 9 embeds at the start of the year, 2 of them from the Army times.
There are indie reporters/bloggers who embed but 99% of what you read about combat in Iraq or see video of is second hand at best and false at worst.
the MSM doesn't give a shit enough about what's actually happening to film outside the green zone.
I would love to see camera crews in the game but I fear I would cost my team too many points as I would have to kill them.

Welcome to the forums, Humpthy. This has been suggested before, so please do a search next time you have an idea to see if others have had it first.
