Player # and Weapon Sug.'s & Q's

Disclaimer: I tried searching and I also browsed through the "Already Suggested Suggestions." That said, here goes:

Regarding the recent 128 Player server discussion in the GD area and the ability to (supposedly) hack the BF2 demo (way back when) to play with 128 players, would it be possible to run PR off of the BF2 demo instead of the current full client? (or perhaps even the 2142 demo?) Through the mods folder? (I understand it's not as easy as copying the thing in there, but a possibility for future work/modification?)

---

Also; with the recent fight against the MEC would it be logical for the US to perhaps revive the use of the M14 with ironsights? Perhaps maybe just use a reskinned/remodeled G3? Since it's not the DMR version, lower the damage due to not using match-grade ammunition.

Perhaps used only against MEC battles as an extra option than the standard Rifleman since there might be extra slots with the loss of the AP Rifleman? ("Rifleman - M-16" and "Rifleman - M-14" both being available)

Perhaps the layout would be -similar- to the rifleman, missing a few things so it's not -as- appealing?

Rifleman - M-14:
-Knife
-M-14 Ironsights (3+1 magazines)
-Smoke Grenade x 3
-Ammo Resupply Bags x 2
-Binoculars
-Field Dressing x 1
-Body Armor

(Less extra magazines, no frag grenades, one extra smoke grenade, and one less ammo bag)

Well, that's it from me. Apologies if my ideas are kinda stupid.

I would love to see an M-14 in game to be used by a regular soldier. Maybe give him 1 or two frags though.

yeah, but is the M14 that prevalent in country? Other then special issue for Marksmen? I have friends in the service and from what I hear their are mostly stuck with M16s. Although I hear something about them using 416uppers rather then the standard.....oh well back on topic. I Would love to see an M14.. Maybe make it a request able kit.....

And EOD has a nice M14 Model already.....be nice to see but probably won't fly.

They're the same model, actually.

Yeah, an unscoped M14 would bring a rifle that presents a challenge to the user by taking away his ability to spray 20-30 rounds downrange in the blink of an eye.

i don't know if anyone still uses the normal m14 but its an awsome weapon (exept when you use autofire, then it gets useless ****

(yes the m14 has autofire))

M14 with ironsights is still beeing used.
But I doubt that we will see it in PR, mainly for balance reasons.

but is it really a common weapon to be used? From what I've heard it's pretty rare. (=not going to be a part of PR, unless it's a part of a limited kit)

Yeah, it's rare.
Thats another reason why we wont see it
