Zatar is even worse than Oman, the distances are huge with nowhere to hide.

Why not change it into a server option, like friendly fire, auto balance and the upcoming Infantry Only? I'm sure the 24/7 Karkand servers would turn it off, thus eliminating the problem?

I've had jeeps dropped plenty of times when I really needed one (sometimes they were enemy jeeps).  I like the addition.  If they can work out the glitching I say keep it.
all they need to do is to only give the commander the ability to drop a vehicle once it has be requested for

I CALL JEEPS WHEN I DONT HAVE ONE so dont remove it. the thing is make areas to not be able to be dropped like roofs aarty and enemy people. or can only be dropped 30 yards around teammates

I was thinking the same thing

To me, he got the solution. just make car drops inacurate making them drift a few meters away from where the commander clicked...

I feel that the 'add a random drift' thing is way too arbitrary and not fool-proof enough to fix the hotel glitch problem.  It addresses the cartillary issue fairly well since you would waste a few cars trying to get one guy, but I can imagine a sleezy commander littering the hotel alley with 5-6 cars trying to get his buddy inside so he can cheat.  If they could add the random drift AND fix it so that the cars would not glitch inside of walls I might support that.

I would like to see tanks, other armors added to the vehile drop, and maybe have a supply box when its dropped you can switch weapons when the ammo for one weapon runs out just take another gun from the supply box. also allow some new boats to be dropped on the water maps like wake, boats that would do moe dmg and take more dmg.

Its teh uber handiness those car drops, (No not to kill snipers, though I've had my fun blowing up the enemy Arty while a enigneer was repairing it and then the engi. died ) But anyway often if I play commander and I see a lonely soldier walkin all the way I give him a vehicle drop or when I give a squad the task to get a rear flag I give them a order + vehicle drop. So no, lets keep the car drops but minimize the abuses you can achieve with it? k?

Rofl at add tank drops.  Why dont they just add helicopter and plane drops too?

IRL they can drop tanks from c131 but that would be lame here.  It would be cool to have a plane fly over and drop it out though.  And maybe maps that have planes (ie. wake) could shoot the c131 down b4 it drops and u cant get that vehicle.

Also adding gun switches at supply crates would be pretty darn nifty.

Add random drift, make it so it dosen't go on roofs. Easy enough

Cartillery isn't useful at all though, people say Zatar dosen't have cover, blah blah blah. How many servers play Zatar at a given time? 11? Not to mention if you can't find a car near you its your OWN FAULT. Hurry up and stop loligagging and you would get your very own car. And how many requests do you get for cars? 2? So people can spawn camp on roofs? Who cares.

Agreed, but even more so.

If you find yourself out in the middle of a field in Zatar, it is your own doing. Either you thought you'd catch a ride later, chased after a vehicle, etc. If you don't have cover, it's your fault. I personally have despised the Vehicle Drop since the day 1.3 was avaliable. I think it should be taken out.

I agree.  I think maybe 3 or 4 times I've actually managed to get the commander to drop me a vehicle.  He's usually too busy trying to drop it on tanks and apcs.  I have on the other hand been killed by cartillery more times than I need to.  Dumb feature, truly adds nothing to gameplay but frustration and silly looking collision physics, unless you have a good commander.  I can usually run to a vehicle first.

i have YET to run into a problem with finding a ride on those maps, so i don't get what your issue is.  I say scrap it, i agree, it creates more problems than it solves.

Vehicle drops are awesome. People drive off with all the vehicles and you're left at a friendly flag with a long walk? Vehicle drop please! AHhh no more 2 minute periods with noone to kill.
