So with the annoucment of the new engineer shovel, what possible uses do you guys forsee? Keep in mind Egg has already said that it is not going to be used for changing any landscape, just buliding/repairing some structures.

Some ideas:
-Field hostipal/medic tent
-sandbags
-some kind of new commander asset?

smash a guy over the head with?

use it to leave pretend booby traps in the jungle, like chris ryan does here...(a nato shovel "cup" apparently)

(that ex british soldier who should have lost his legs if it were a real situation doesnt look very pleased with himself, and seems sore about it for the rest of the series, "im usually a bit more sharper than that"*)

(*incorrect grammar too, one mistake after another, perhaps he was having a bad day)

Decapitation?

Shoveling?

cleaning up noobs?

insurgent chain gang?

Possible Shovel Uses? Possible Shovel Uses!? You load of bloody workshy layabouts! I've never heard such a load of old tosh!

Oh... you meant in 0.6?

A Construction of a Road in less than 1 week throw the dessert of Dessert....o no i just thought..There gonna be able to Bury the LAND MINES Arghhhhh

Typical of a Weegie to think of Road building.

Best used as a weapon for smacking people over the head, needs to have that "SHWAAANGGG" sound added aswell.

Can't beat the sound of a singing shovel........

Ye 2 days to Survey the area, 2 weeks to sit around,1 week of Holidays,3 days of rain, 33 hours of Smoke brakes, 1 day to lay the Road id say we will have it done by 14th March 2009

the only things a shovel should be used for is
1) bashing noggins'
2) raising a small soil/sand lip for cover

wow not one serious response about how it might be used. lol

What did you expect?

Im sorry but i think ull find there all possible Uses of a shovel, and one is right...

IMO it should be used for building light defences such as a little pile of sand or a foxhole. I'm not sure if either are possible with the BF2 engine.

sorry maybe i misunderstood but you know the shovel IS going into version 0.6 as an engineer item. I was just musing on what it could be used for in game as the only hint we have recieved is that it is going to be "critical to the team's success."
