You mean like a turret. The problem is then they would have to change the animations, which would require more work, lengthening the spawn grenade vulnerability period is probably a smaller tweak and essentially does the same thing, and does not expose the tactician to additional risk of getting killed.

Actually a patch I would like to see would be a private chat channel shared between squad leaders.
Essentially, we can't really have coordinated movements between squads (dynamically changing) except for the tactician's grenade which is basically an uncoordinated "mass horde" attack.

I was trying to practice and learn how to use the sniper class in a game and was being killed off so quickly it was terrible by other team's well skilled snipers... camped on the opposite side of the map in the "obvious" sniper hole. There were 3 or 4 of them.
After realizing it was hopeless... I switched to assault and boosted my way over to the other side (zig zag) and lobbed grenades and ran up their position killing one or two snipers before getting killed by the enemy team.
*** I repeated this 3 times until their snipers gave up camping at that position and changed tactics.
Its the first time I felt good about using assault and being near unstoppable.

On this point, I still don't get why the don't allow comm with the whole team, but most of all I find the proximity chat absurd.
Sure, it's cool to hear/be heard by the enemy, but is it really realistic or even fair? In real life, a) you can whisper in the mic and b) you use gestures. Not so in KZ2 (and most online games). How can you freely arrange tactics near an objective when you know the enemy can hear you? You (developer) either avoid this by cutting the enemy out of friendly comm feed or allow me to use a "silent" communication system, like gestures activated via D-pad which translate into on screen icons (like "Hold fire", "Stop" or "Go here" a la Brothers in Arms).
COD4 did something like this by automatically telling the player (via pre-recorded messages) whenever a nearby ally is tossing a grenade or reloading his weapon. Heck it even tells you when a close mate has killed an enemy you where trying to kill yourself. How awesome is that? No wonder people "get it" as soon as they drop into a COD4 match. Now, expand on this and you have an online shooter where you communicate with your teammates (whatever the spoken language is) without even opening your mouth.

Oh yeah I agree on this point! The proximity chat with the enemy is not a good mechanic and its not aiding the "fun" of the game or tactical gameplay. It might be preventing tactical gameplay actually...
I think full team wide chat/speak can be useful in clan games where everyone might have agreed "you are the platoon leader telling each squads what to do" or something like that. In public games though I think it would be quickly abused by singing and swearing which means muting people a lot.
I just want Squad leaders to have some communication ability for joint strike operations.

I think the team wide speak which TTP mentioned is what you are saying you want and I agree it would be great (maybe not in public games).
But I still think we could benefit from squad leader chat if you actually wanted separate squad units.
Squad A would be chatting about how to take out the Gun battery yelling things like:
"Contact! 3 Higs - 1 assault. Alex flank them while I draw their fire! Crap 2 more around the corner with shotgun."
See that's not something Squad B would find useful as they are in another part of the map.
However, if Squad A captain could tell Squad B captain "We are getting pounded here! I don't think we can hold the gun battery. Squad C can you drop sniping and come support us?"
That would be coordinated and very effective.

If there's no clan games tonight that I'm allowed to play in :lol then we can do some later this evening. I can probably do around 4 ribbons a time, before I get too bored.

I just read your idea on how to solve spawn invincibility.
That's a brilliant idea man I hope you post that on the official forums.

I'm expecting it to simply be a couple of maps which have vehicles playable. Will purchase tho.
FFObsessed said:
Dude....I hope its free...its way to soon in a game thats struggling to find its feet to split the community...
I hope its a couple of maps and a new badge or weapon choice, and maybe some rebalancing of current class
and a major control tweak, the algorithm they are using is still AKFU...but getting better

That's basically why I quit out of our clan game before it started.
Click didnt want to work out 2 tacticians, and nobody seemed interested in budging from his squad so I quit. I think the game would have been more frustrating then fun for me.
At high level play, 2 coordinated tacticians is pretty useful. Because you can't be expected to survive at the lengths you do in non-clan play.

Vehicles? That the absolute last thing I want.FFObsessed said:

I just can't picture it, but I do remember the talk of getting the tanks into MP.
Not thrilled about the idea either. I hope it's something easily disabled, and the other issues addressed before throwing in another variable.
Will be interesting to see what happens next.
I was going to spend some money to buy Rag Doll Kung Fu, but with the promise of KZ2 DLC, I guess I'll save it at least until 12:31 EDT to see what this DLC is about...
Side-note, why does GTTV come on so late? I mean, who is up at 12:30 to watch a TV show about video-games? Urgh.

Maybe a hint to more ranks? Or the ability to go prestige, lol?
New weapon? new mode?
New bots?
Metal gear rex as a bot.
