So, there's a LOOOOOOOOOOT of running in this game! And I'm sure that modulaatio will expand this game to bigger maps, not just 1kmx1km maps.

So, I'm suggesting the following. Adding some vehicles.
LOL HURR DURR TANKS.
No, not tanks. Rather, jeeps and such. Something for quick-transport.

Bombing raids would be nice as well, but can be used once in twenty minutes.

Now on to support.

This is running with rifles, so a HMG/LMG would be nice as well.
Maybe the M249 SAW and the PKM.

Either way, mortars could be added as well, and medics. They should be able to heal anyone who did NOT press space.


Also, private online games pleeeeeeeease. =D

Pasik has heard that there was a lot of non-combat related running in the game and said he's going to remedy it by putting the objectives or spawns closer to each other (or something to that effect). Personally I think it would be neat to teleport between any of your friendly bases at a flagpole or something.

As for what kind of vehicle should be implemented, I don't think a tank would be a bad idea. It could perhaps be a lighter tank that only moves as fast as infantry can, or a larger one that is heavier and moves slower than infantry but is powerful. Flanking tactics would need to be made to take it out. Perhaps the treads could be destroyed to immobilize it before dealing the killing blow.

Halftracks or an M113-like vehicle could be used for infantry transport. They come with machine guns mounted at the top but the gunner is more exposed.

Personally I think that artillery would be pretty cool for support. Preferably something that you either build or capture in the map. So, say your base is being hit with artillery. You can go sneak into enemy lines and take the enemy artillery/mortar batteries out.

I believe he's planning on adding in automatic rifles/machineguns, but we're not entirely sure how they will be implemented. My guess is they will be deployed before being able to fire. Talking balance here, the PKM or M240 (read: M240) would be nice since they have a decent rate of fire without having a ridiculously large ammo capacity. The M249/Minimi has a bunch more ammo and can put more firepower down. An MG3 would be.... amazing. Automatic rifles/machineguns could be prone to overheating if all you are doing is spraying everything.

Deployable/mobile mortars would be pretty sweet. As for the medics, Pasik suggested perhaps you can grab medkits but if you did you'd only be able to use a pistol. I think that respawns should be in waves, similar to Red Orchestra. You press spacebar to join the next respawn queue, or you can call out for a medic.

Oh, that'd be brutal.

I was riding through the town, it was a late Sunday night in Mid-August. My buddy, Jason Wilks was riding Gunman. We passed by an enemy encampment, and he sliced through them like a hot knife to butter. Never had a chance to call reinforcements, poor b******s.

This brings up a point I was curious about asking Pasik. In the future, will it be possible to stand on top of moving objects? More specifically: will it be possible to have, for the sake of example, a large flatbed truck, or maybe even an aircraft carrier or other transport of some kind? I'm thinking something along the lines of Joint Operations.

If it were possible to mod in vehicles in the future this would allow for some pretty insane gameplay.

Yeah. Dropping off a truckload of 10 soldiers at a rally point- EPIC!

Most likely yes, it will be possible to stand on top of moving things eventually. Before that though, there has to be a moving thing, and we'll see them standing on static objects first, maybe getting on rooftops and containers and stuff like that.

More along the lines of two such trucks of opposing sides getting into an engagement, both trying to ram each other into obstacles while the soldiers in back carry out a firefight at high speed on the truck beds, using whatever cover happens to be loaded onto it :o (I'm picturing very very large truck beds here, thus, modded vehicles)

Thank goodness, at least it's something to look forward to.
