Personally I think (yes, sometimes I am succesful at doing such complex and difficult task) that it is very strange to post reply in therds that are old and not used any more... But on the other hand I do not see anything bad in it - it was not locked by administrator so I would say that forum users may still use it. Maybe this situation is a good suggestion to auto lock any theard that is not in use for some time (not in use = nobody is posting any more, some time > one month). Anyway, I hope that I didn't done anything bad by posting it here

A good way of implementing this could be to have soldiers under the rank of sergeant (3) stop attacking and hide in cover if their commander dies. This would mean while defending if you kill the higher ranking ai the rest grind to a halt.

What would be the fun in that? Everyone'd just kill the high ranking troops and let the other ones live, no fun in that. I think soldiers should have no influence in game. The way I see it, only vehicles should have powers, much like the comm truck. This would allow all players to use it if they wanted to, unrestricted by grinding a rank system.

damn right, this ain't no COD.
