I was just watching the Squad leader radio video with the new comm menu. and if you watch it you will see .. Request kit / Drop kit ... thats Great being able to drop your kit for another player had always been a problem. now instead of requesting a crewmankit or somthing to swap out kits you dont even need to go to a supply crate you can stay where you are and switch out your kits

Just a little question i have about what the player status would be after you drop your kit.. will you be in a pilot mode? such as all you have is (unarmed) kit?
like a civi / colaborator you can raise your hands or somthing? ...

perhaps if that is the case we can come up a new game mode that has to do with POW's that could be interesting.

Interesting question. Probably the DEVs will keep it secret a while longer though. I would expect civi hands and not much else, but the DEVs are nothing if not constantly surprising.

The DROP KIT is indeed just an empty kit with nothing but the surrender and salute "weapons" making it easy to switch kits but also do some role playing

The drop kit is completely empty, bar the animations for surrendering and saluting. Personally I think it is a fantastic idea (<3 to Smeg for thinking it up), and I think that the SL radio will really help improve inter-squad teamwork.

Will be nice for some insurgent run & gun, then drop the weapon and put your hands up, like what happens in real life.

could this mean you can now surrender , that would be awsome

That would be awsome idea , but i would be more likly to be the taliban that would do that and even if you do put your hands up your still gona get shot

Being able to surrender would really shake the melee system up.

Maybe there could be a way of "capturing" soldiers, and you get a bonus other than tickets, so that you have the option to surrender when you have the Last Stand type of rounds xD

or even a potato sack for insurgents to capture bulfor troops and to regain some inteligent points.

possibly penalty for conventional army for shooting unarmed?

rofl going in ma sig^
anyway how about if you surrender and get shot then the other person gets 10-20 seconds added onto they're timer to stop abbuse you can only do this every 10-15 mins lets say
but if you get captured you get a 60 second added onto your timer jsut like when you suicide
