Suggestions for spawns

Hi.

In PR, we spawn like a ghost, we "appear"...
Not real, and that allow spawnkill.
Why not spawn with parachute ? Or other way ? It could be fun.

Another suggest: trouble vision when we are critically wounded, or when we are just respawned by a medic. In reality, when you are critically wounded, you don't see like you aren't.

For finish, include destructible environment and "locationed" damages (when someone shoot in your arm, you can't use weapon any more).

Continue, PR is just great !

Interesting Ideas. If not for the 'chute restriction I think it would be a good idea.

in an ideal situation, spawing on the SL would be tied to your team's assets. i would love to see some kind of AI controlled air vehicle that would fly in reinforcements to the squadleader (or any of the forward bases away from the main base).

the benefit of this form of respawning is twofold. instead of a long wait until the magic respawn, the player would have a bird's eye view of the flight, AI controlled drop, AI controlled deployment of the 'chute and landing. this makes it much more imersive and interesting for the player and also adds and the extra gameplay element of... assets. if the opfor takes out the commander's assets, the AI air vehicle would not be available and the dead player would have to respawn back at the home base.

I doubt that BF2 engine can handle this...

About parachutes... interesting ideas... but hell... i bet enemy would like to kill me when airborne ;]

Wasn't BF2 supposed to have a destructable environment?

If it wasn't for the rampant spawn killing I would say that spawning on a SL should not be possible cause its definately not realistic, Medics can already bring you back from the dead!! isn't that good enough!

but since spawnkilling is so regular, especially with AAS (takes for-ever to cap a flag regardless of how many are on the flag) being able to spawn on a squad leader is kind of important.

destructible environment to an extent yeah, but the way they handle localized damage makes it hard to code in something like suggested above, heck i don't even think it's possible with the engine.

and that's ******* *** ***** **** in 2005 engine... isn't it?
How the hell they could miss it?
They were afraid of lags? Too much data for server/client?
Well it is already laggy ;]
