-> The situation: One Hero per side: Casual unhappy. Full assault squad of MKB42h: Realism angry. Slow computer: You have nothing cool to play with.
Can't understand why they get rid of the Hero class. Just add a hero class-relative and make
it available only with the commission system (select a random/good ranked player at the start of the game, then switch to another good one when a new round is started).
So everybody will have access to it one day or another and BF2 kiddies
will be happy, they will grind in and play even more well the game to become the Hero they want to be and
distinguish themselves from the others (
humans love that !). Don't forget to make them
visually outstanding (you promised that to us, some time ago).
-> And the most important: This game will finally have it's
true Heroes feelings <-
Note: Make the Commission system open up hero class slightly progressively can stop the "run to the slot" syndrome at the start of the game. Slow computers will have a chance now !
-----------------------------------
* Little example of the slots, all the hero class are distributed at the game start via commissions:
2/3+ assault: MP40.
1 hero assault class: 1 MKB42 h.
2+ elite rifleman class: G41.
1 hero rifleman classs: a hero rifle.
2/3 machine gunner class: 3 MG34.
1 hero machine-gunner class: 1 MG42.
-----------------------------------------
And maybe next add officer/SL heroes... No forcedly with new weapons (I don't think they should have new weapons), but well: free content or cosmetics dlc like faces, clothes, caps, etc...
Yes it will have the Ranking problem, people who had unlocked the weapons will be pissed of. So, limit the commission access to theses people only,
problem solved !
(anyway, in the actual game, people who aren't unlocked those weapons will not have them, now way they are unhappy).
I find this myself very cool . What tripwire think of this design ? Yes it's not perfect, people can be pissed of between round for example (just need a bit of tweaking).
But isn't it a good and viable idea that make realism people and i wannabe hero one happy?
In find this better than fill up the entire assault squad with MKB42H.
Sorry for my not perfect english
PS: If some heroes class haven't any heroes weapons, the thing is to fill them with regular weapons but keeping the outstanding visual (clothes, dirty, etc) until you have some new toys for them ! But in order to make everyone happy, no only heroes have outstanding visual; other high ranker regular classes too. Just make them have a "special touch", the thing that make the casual/standard player to want to be hero.
