British/USMC Civilians

Post by **Dunehunter** » 2007-07-21 09:26

I was just thinking about something....if the insurgents get civs, why can't the other side have some? People working for NGOs, reporters, etc.

Any thoughts?

i like that thought, making a reporter for the USMC teams maybe give him a camera instead of throwing rocks? lol he would need purely non-combatant gear though

thats a mint idea and u use right clic to use the camra zoom and the insurgents can capture them

I'm pretty sure there was another post on this...

But anyway, I don't think these reporters and whatnot would really help the military out. The military would do all the recon on its on. "Hey, Let me hop out of my apc and use your camera, my crappy 100x zoom isn't cutting it." Plus, I doubt the insurgents would have qualms about killing them.

poor reporters will be shot, or even worse executed

It was suggested before and it wont be implemented, as far as I know....

ya great idea but its not a big thing. No need for it. just another kit. They need something that gives them a huge advantge over other armies. Thermal Scope? But ya as outlaw said its wont be implemented.

K, I checked the "already suggested" thread and I did a search, but I couldn't find anything about it, sorry.

Just no...
Civilians have a purpose in the game. Reporters etc do not.

It won't be a bad idea, if the insurgents kill an allied civie, they lose 10 tickets because of "sect rivalry" that attacked them.

It would be even better if you could remove the team icons from civvies in general, but I doubt thats possible.

Ehhh no... because in real life insurgents don't face punishment for killing civies unlike our armed forces (as such).

i agree.....it would be wasted since insurgents only care about victory , but not the cost of civilians deaths or reporters

I like it.
The first two models should be Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon.
+10 points for arresting them
+20 points for wounding them
+30 points for watching them bleed out while holding a medics kit.

They don't punish themselves, yes, but (I don't want to get political or anything) one former insurgent group in Iraq (the 1920s Revolutionary Brigade) actually turned to the counter-insurgency because another insurgent group (Al Qaeda) was killing civilians. So yes, even the insurgency could plausibly recieve penalties for killing civilians. It was considered a pretty major blow to the insurgency when that happened.

It would be nice, though, to balance the rewards and penalties of killing civilians so your team would have to make a decision on whether or not to kill civilians, in a tactical or role-playing sense.
