More Commands

Today, I heard a suggestion about adding more commands to the command rose. If this is possible, we could definately use commanders like "Fall Back", "Suppressing Fire", "Cover Me", or "Form Up".

Is there a way it can be done in some fasion because teh people who cannot use mics and even ones with them could really use these extra commands for their squads?

or something along the lines of 'get the hell away from that vehicle you stupid noob'.

maybe? maybe not, i'll just throw it out there.

An extra command rose to be bound to the key "F" or something would do nicely.

Maybe this particular command rose could even be *mostly-- with the exception of things like "Form up!"* designated to local chatter, so you would only see it and hear it if you were in range, not over the radio, like when a guy says "Clear!" and "Alright, you're good to go!".

A list off the top of my head would be:
-"Take cover!" --something generic
-"Taking fire!" --something to at least alert the rest of the squad that you're being shot at, as is often the case.
-"Look out! Grenade!" -- this or something similar would at least alert your squadmates of an incoming grenades. So many times I wished I could do this, but all I can do is say "Hit it!" and run like hell.
-"Supressing Fire!" --Generic "I'm covering them"
-"Get some supressing fire on them!" --an order that we need supressing fire
-"Fall back!"--If the shit hits the fan, at least you have a button (possible radio command)
-"Cover me!"--Generic "cover me", handy for medics going to raise the dead
-"Form up!" --A squad leader hotbutton (possible radio command)

Anyone got anything to add?

Bottom line, they should be simple, generic, and actually have a purpose. All of these above are applicable and would be used by a good squad. Could have used em today!

There is already a sound file for this, it just needs to be implemented.
Along with Man down, Retreat, Reloading, and Enemy Wheelbarrow spotted.

Take cover would be great if you se a chopper comming in or a rocket or granader or what ever that could hurt you and your team.

Take cover!

I'd love to see commanders like this. Also I'd like

"where to?"
"spread out"

I think where to is too similar to "Requesting Orders", but "Spread Out" is pretty good also.

Certain sounds for squad LEADERS should be tied to actions, or events. When a squad leader his Z to prone he should say something like "Stay low squad!" etc

Also when youre taking fire I think saying "Taking fire!" should be automatic when taking a hit.

pressing z and it auto goes "stay low", no

Then if you should sneak onto an enemy, and then sit down on a corner then someone yells "STAY LOW" bad idea IMO.

I agree with these Commands would be fine to see see/hear in the game!

Well with the nerfing of the UAV and the other commander features in the game, you have some free spots in your command rose which could be filled up with something other then the stay low thing. And you wouldn't need that for when you are up close really.
