It was a decent feature in BF2, it helped out alot when there were alot of stupid snipers around so you couldn't walk from flag to flag without getting killed and when the retard runs off with the only buggy in the base on his own. Why did they axe it? (It wasn't there in the demo)

I think it should've stayed, it's annoying without it. They could've easily prevented it from being dropped on the Titan and on snipers on buildings and stuff.

A Walker drop would be ownage (lolz rofilz!11one). It is annoying when someone speeds off in the buggy then if a air transport sees you, it crashes into you

Because the commander drop caused the 1.3 problems.

Because the transport ship spawns every 5 seconds. I think they should extend the spawn time for them.

yeah... the transports are helpful when NUBZ aren't flying them into the ground or bailing out without telling anyone. I think the vehicle drop would be abused in 2142, especially on the titan.

The flags are a lot closer together in BF2142 so walking between points isn't as bad as it was in BF2.
Also there are plenty of vehicles in most maps.
It still doesn't stop buttheads from driving off in with no passengers leaving 10 people standing on the tarmac screaming "need pickup!"

What would a dropped car do on titan mode, bounce off the shield, hit the ship and blow up? Or would it have the force of a nuke and kill the titan then and there?

Maybe it would give you a vehicle to use to transport you to the next silo...?

It should be ingame. Maps like Shuhia Taiba, are way to large to be taking a walk.

I usually play conquest. My PC doesn't handle titan mode very well : (

I agree that some big maps have some long walks.
BUT
The jeeps' machine guns are a lot more powerful in 2142 than in BF2. Having them dropped all over the place would alter the infantry vs infantry balance in the game which I feel is pretty good at the moment.

its really not bad if you get the extra run and faster recovery unlocks and have light armor on, you can run for about 20 seconds i'd say

I want anything to be able to damage the titan, like the fighter hover craft missiles, or anti air guns, also suicide runs in a titan with a plane. I have to say it would look simply amazing to see all the firepower on the map concentrated like that. 2 more things: titans need to be able to crash into each other(maybe if a on a team vote the commander is granted the power?) and titans need to be able to attack each other. Also it wouldn't hurt if we had more than one fighter plane thing per team. And easily the coolest thing would be if we could have like 3 titans per side and the battled, with maybe one or two dozen fighter planes flying around. unfortunately that kind of thing would be limited to those of us with 2 gigs or more of ram and probably no more than 32 players on a server(like super duper server on steroids).

Why? Because the game doesn't need it... that seem simple enough.
