Simple, Make the ammo boxes (from techies and strykers, not the crates) explosive.

Would make up for amazing realistic explosions of ammo. Also at the same time, preventing people from using ammo boxes as cover, which is totally unreal.

Imagine the roadside bombs with the ammo technicals, Drop like 6 ammo boxes on the side of the road, put an ied or stand far with a RPG.

Would give both sides alot of room for improvisation and realistic gameplay IMHO.

Imagine booby trapping the ammo boxes.. Having a hummvee or truck roll down road, Activating the wire trap and the whole ammo dump with it. Fna right? lol

Mmmm, I'm not sure I agree.

I think it would be nice if ammo boxes were no longer able to be used as cover.

That said, rifle ammunition and grenades don't just explode, even under a lot of heat and pressure. Normally they slowly cook off, a few rounds at a time. Should the ammo crates do damage to the people around them? I think that's reasonable. But, hurt a vehicle? Definitely not.

Would be epic to have, that way you can use them like traps to nubs who try to hide behind it. But they'll also be destroyed by enemies quickly..

Yes but im considering there is not just rounds and rockets in those boxes, since you can reload anything with it. If theres even just 1 pound of C4 or TNT in it, a sparkle will definitely light to whole thing up.

Maybe make an animation with rockets flying away random, a blast radius and some rounds cooking afterwards.

When bullets are under heavy pressure/heat, don't they fly off every which way?

Mmmhmmm...

You do realise that C4 (and its forgien equivelents) are incredibly stable, right?

Interesting fact - C4 burns before it explodes due to heat. Its actually possible to cook your lunch on a C4 fire (but I wouldn't reccomend it, toxic fumes and all that).

In other news, real life isn't hollywood and PR isn't FarCry 2. Surprisingly enough adding items made of explodium isn't going to happen.
