Was it in one of the BF 1942 *never played* expansions, that EA created the 'flying fortress spawn point' ? It was basically a large prop plane that circled the battle field, and allowed players to parachute spawn into the field? Something like that could be interesting. Where the commander can call in the C-130, and the players get HALO'ed out. Kinda be a nice surprise for the opposing team.
I played that expansion, was a huge deal for 1942 but squad leaders work in the same way for bf2.
Think it was the "never played" DC mod....the mod what BF2 supposed to be, not Vietnam.....but thats a different story.....

Yeah, right! I always chute down to earth spawning at my SL position flying 5 miles above ground without a plane/helosinir wrote:

Squad leaders can actually function as flying spawn points --- just get in a Black Hawk or an SU (although it's much less effective) and tell everyone to join your squad, spawn on you, and parachute out.
as mentioned - it was only a joke....
could be very funny a flyin SL with wings (ya know Deadalus and Ikarus?!) hehe

Squad Leader? Mobile Spawn Point? What is this magic that you speak of? Teamwork? What's that?
I am being sarcastic.
Just stateing the obvious that on public servers more often than not people don't utilize SL at all and most SL don't use tactics that are benefitial to their Squad spawning on them.
When it works.. its a wonderous thing. When it doesn't then you have what we normally see. 10/16 Lone Wolfs and a 6 man squad with the Squad Leader flying a single seater jet!

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of World War 2. Thats the expansion, it was pretty fun
Kilroy hit the nail on the head there...lol. So true!
we should get some c-130's it would be great like as gunships or parachuteign
Sounds like the Desert Combat days...*sigh*. I'd like to see that addition as well. Those planes were great.*TS*tphai wrote:

that'd actually be a good idea. not a commander thing, but a large airplane (like a hercules or something of the sort) that is sort of a flying Cp. But once it crashes, it cant spawn for the rest of the round.
I actually wish that Squad Leaders could spawn on the Commander. Too many times I wish I could do this when the commander spots enemy near him. The commander is an important asset and I would gladly spawn on them to secure their location and probably the base they are at. Esspecially on those maps where all flags are capturable and there are no uncap. bases.
So Squad Leaders spawn on Commanders.
Squad Members spawn on Squad Leaders.
Lonewolves suck their own asses and die like the dogs they are!
Cheers.

kil, that'd be great, but at the same time would pose HUGE logistical problems for the game.
I mean, if the leaders were able to spawn off the Commander, then in turn the squad spawn off the Leaders, well..in essence you'd be able t have the Commander hide somewhere, and be able to field a full army again and again....that'd be a nightmare

It would? First the commander is hardly a unit that can hide very effectively. After all they are kind of busy in commander screen quite a bit. Second its my belief that the Commander shouldn't even be on the field of battle. They should be sequestered in some bunker that the enemy can't get to immediately.Miakei wrote:

But if it's a problem then the commander should be hunted down and killed. This would make the squads have to protect their commander and also take flag points. So you would have a commander squad who defends? Which no one seems to do much of. Defense is the one tactic that a majority of players don't seem to comprehend. It really boggles my mind sometimes.
At anyrate I don't see an issue with commanders being a spawn point because how often are squad leaders used as spawn points now? Very rarely. So once in a while a squad spawns on the commander. What is that? 1 out of 100 games maybe?
I still like the idea.

I'm saying, in a scenario where all the CPs are taken by the enemy team, and teh commander is doing what he should, hiding somewhere are organizing the battle. Well, the enemy has done a good job of capping the flags, and eliminating the spawn points. All the squad leaders then spawn off the commander, and in turn, the team members spawn off the leaders...goes from 1 to 15-20 combatants in 3-4 seconds? I don't think it'd be a good idea.
But you can't do this. You can't spawn on your Squad Leader as a Squad Member when all the flags are captured. The same would be true of the Squad Leaders spawning on your Commander. So that issue is already solved in the game right now.Miakei wrote:

This one time I spawned on the floor, was a bitch to clean but a wetvac does the trick.
Kil, you can't? Hmm, I was sorely mistaken then.
