BF2S Forums new Commander Asset

Yep, it cool but how if you just respawn where the commander point, like the map in SF ( I can't recall what it's name ), but there you just drop from free fall, and you have to open your parachute you self.

I think it will take to long with the plane. But a great idea

its a gr8 idea but one, i fink it should be available to every1, but only be a spawn point for like 2 minutes. or it to be available when a squad leader calls for support and only available to his squad or summut like that...

Warlord..

I didnt know you had to pull the chute out yourself hahaha.. plummeted to my death

Cool idea, but instead of requesting it from commander why not spawn in a c130 gunship like in dc, plus have it where you can request a vehicle without waiting for a teammate to come by and if the commander accepts a c130 will drop a buggie same goes for supply drop.

Torro,  good idea and well thought out... your ideas AI pilot, a 6-man airborne squad formed by commander to conduct a mission, 60 second delay to drop, 2 points for teamwork, and some defenses. Add to that the probable destruction of UAV, Satellite and Artillery and the squad members will get a few more points. The commander should get teamwork points for a succesful para mission.

Since a helo transport can carry 5-6 people the idea of a squad para drop is already part of the game. But the main point I like about your idea is the ability for a commander to form Squads for Strategic Missions and task the objective.

The idea that people could stat pad teamwork points by repeated drops is well taken so limit the number of drops per game. Since the para drop is tasked by the commander it drops like artillery so if the airborne drop has an AI pilot not worries about finding a qualified pilot.  I suggest only one drop per 10-15 game minutes.  The plane could start and load already in-flight, doesn't need to take-off and land at the home base.  The members must join the commander's airborne squad to drop. I think one other idea is the airborne squad is permanently locked (locked in and locked out), a one shot deal, so that no squad leader spawn swapping can be done after the drop. Once in you can't quit the squad except by death and then you cannot return to it after death.

On further thought the commander could have both HALO and Static drop configurations as needed. HALOs would just spawn at 10,000 feet and open their own steerable 'chutes (HALO jumpers should have an altimeter) or the drop could be a static-line drop (parachutes open automatically upon exit of the aircraft...hopefully).

It is certain that clans will trainup to make best use of this asset and that would drive the game to a higher level.

how about nuclear bomb, or holy bomb like in WORMS? or a jackhammer for the engineers?

lol hey boomer, EA decided to make BF2 more than a first person shooter when they added a Commander Mode in the first place, blame them...
