It would be nice to see how it would change game play.

- What other on/off options should there be?/

Nothing. I prefer to know what I'm getting when I enter a server (rather than a hodge-podge of different permutations of things). E.g. when you play on a server with TKs for claymores & mines (something I actually prefer, but you rarely see it unless the server is IO), you're so pre-conditioned to ignoring friendly munitions that you will often ignore them and die. Now add that to loads of different parts of the game and it gets to be a pain in the arse.
Too bad none of those options will ever become available because people would complain about it being "stats padding"...
Did you even read the title of this thread?farmerfez wrote:

Random spawn positions.
Its so stupid spawning and being shot less than a second after. It's because everyone knows exactly where your going to pop up and they camp it. There should have been more spawn points per flag.
But having said that it might be a good thing. You don't want your team mates taking a flag, only to have someone spawning only throw afew grenades at the flag and kill everyone.

Should spawn aimed at the closest enemy. That would cut down on camping.
I think turning commanders off entirely would be something, not just the UAV - otherwise the commander is pretty much useless.
Oh, and turning the snipers off wouldn't be bad: no claymores and teamwork.

Actually, so long as you dont call for a medic (left click), they cant revive you. Most people forget this as they instinctively left-click when they die, Ive caught myself doing this loads of times when I dont want to be revived.RoosterCantrell wrote:
I also wish there was a button you could hold down on your keyboard that turns on/off the ability for yourself to be revived when you die.
it would end noob medics whoring 8 revive points, while making someone earn 8 kill points while you sit there helpless lying dead in front of a tank.
Really? Can someone confirm this, because I seriously doubt it.adam1503 wrote:

It's true, but you mostly get killed while shooting (mouse1) this makes it call for a medic as soon as you die.... other than this you could just use "suicide" which will make you impossible to reviveFlemishHCmaniac wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
I don't believe that either...and 've done a hell of a lot of reviving. If you are critically wounded you can be revived, if killed, then no.
The Quake Wars system for this is a good idea...you can choose whether to respawn or be revived.

There is Infantry only option, but no Only Vehicle servers option.
That sould really be there and not just "No cars OR no cars & cars servers"

There's actually an easier way, add:gene_pool wrote:
there is a mod you can get that replaces all sounds you download with a different sound recording of silence. So when the sound plays it plays silence and you can't/don't notice it at all.Arnie_Ze_Austrian wrote:
I can't bear CSS solely because of the amount of fucking terrible sounds nearly every single server operator requires you to download. Worse still is the fact that you nearly always end up downloading the same shit with different names so, no matter how many servers you play on, you still have to keep downloading stuff you've already got. It's always great fun spending a minute downloading irrelevant shit before you can actually join the game.

to your config.
So if it's only vehicles, how do we get into the vehicles?[Fin]Dami3n wrote:

Claymores you mean?spuddy1981 wrote:

Failure.
Again..commander voice OFF oh and maybe grenades off, or atleast just make it 2 instead of 4. Ridiculous tbh, 4 nades.
nah, they just need to have all the 0 and 1 options we'd like then additionally have "all," "none," and "either" server browser filters for each. not that BF2 will ever see another patch, but it's nice to have dreams.gene_pool wrote:

I hate going into a CSS server and theres a retard kiddy admin who decides to put everyones health on 1 and give everyone nades. Thats great fun
You can still be revived if you don't call for a medic, it's just your bar won't show as empty on your name and there won't be an icon on the minimap.adam1503 wrote:

To stop yourself being revived, hit enter and unclick the spawn point, that stops you being revived afaik.
Claymores.
spamming of commander XD, it can be very usefull, but VERY iritating as wel

Why don't they just turn everything off and give everybody pillows as their main weapon. That should get everybody to quit whining about what is fair.
Incorrect, people are sometimes missing that icon if you (the medic) spawn after they are wounded...but you can still revive them.Hakei wrote:

Apparently going into spawn menu like you say used to stop the reviving, but dfinitely doesn't work now.
I mean there is option "infantry/vehicles and infantry servers" which should be Inf only or Vehicles onlyInjectionNZ wrote:

Vehicles only that it will only show up servers which has vehicles on, and will filter inf only server away from list...
So now we have filter which allows us to filter server, so we can only see servers which are on IO, But there is no option to filter IO servers out!

Yeah i get that almost too much, but im still medding everyone I dont need hud, hud needs me!MrAnderson wrote:
