Combat Cameraman class

Ok, stop laughing...............im serious.................STOP IT!!!!

Right, I've done a search and theres nothing on this idea. But i dont think its that bad of an idea IF implemented right. The CCM has no weapons except for a small motion picture camera and a stills camera, maybe a black and white one and a colour one.

To make it seem more real, when you are filming the camera will not be perfectly straight with no sway like soldiers rifles are. But to make it look more realistic there would be (1) plenty of sway (2) a blur when you zoom in that can be adjusted (3) no tags at all. The stills camera view should have lines and dots like you see in old films to make it more gritty.

There should be a punishment for anyone to shoot a CCM. I know its not the most valuable of classes but its just for fun.

I know the team has many other more important features to put in but this just an idea for ye cause ye cant come up with all of 'em.

Discuss!

I belive this has been discussed before, but I still like the idea.

Ya, it could give the admins something to do rather than get in the way of my bullets!

umm. I don't think it's really a good idea.
1st. I don't really see the point.
2nd. People shouldn't kill him = makes him the PERFECT scout.
3rd. Would probably take quite much time to make. There are other more important (imo) things to do.

I like the idea.
By the way... when talking about a third party on the battlefield, would that be possible?
If yes, then you could maybe have a fraction that attacks both MEC and US, kinda like the sand people in Star Wars Battlefront... but I think I'm getting into dreaming now

I see no point in this. Takes someone out of the battle.

*chuckles at Popa* Well Popa bud.... now you (hopefully) have your machine fixed, you finally posted this idea you were talking about the t-other day...

Perhaps the combat cameraman should be a UN observer, fundamantally the only prob. is having to model his SLR (thats Single Lens Reflex, not a fine rifle for british forces).
(blatant thread hijack)
I am to presume you would model him with a -serious- moustache too right?
Just how many of those british models have moustaches anyway..

As a 3rd party team I think the cameraman would be fun ^_^

It sounds fun....but isn't that what Battlerecorder is for?

Popa · Post by **Popa** » 2006-12-27 16:15
