I have played on the insurgents a little bit, but I don't know why anyone would call them overpowered. If anything, they seem to be the opposite of that. Now civilians are being added so a player can run in front of a tank trying to get killed or put themselves in harms way. Don't get me wrong, but I think most civilians would try to stay alive at all costs, not take one for the team. There is no such thing as no-combatant insurgent. Sounds like some of the griefing tactics of vBF 2 (forced tks, etc).
Maybe I am exaggerating, but I don't foresee player controlled civilians as a fun idea. Now if bots were neutral civilians, that would be interesting if any team that killed them would receive a ticket penalty. I wonder when 1.0 is released for this mod, you will have a so-called realistic, but very frustrating game play. With all of the rules that are being added, I am going to feel like the South Park kids playing WoW!

If a civilian is run over by a vehicle there is no penalty applied .. it's considered "an accident".
And erm .. yeah .. some folks are not going to like where we go with the mod. But if you have ever done any sort of military training you would know that it's a highly complex, physically and mentally demanding task to be an Infantryman. And yes we do want to make that more complex with adding in player controlled Civilians who the Insurgents are dependent upon to be successful.
And erm.. ok well..... this thread has now gotten pointless with people making assenine remarks and judgements rather than asking intelligent questions .. so that's the end of show and tell kids.
