back to the roots

just a few fixes that would bring back the red orchestra 1 feeling:

-Auto Ready for spawning (maybe a box that you can tick that says "auto ready"). It's annoying if you have to wait for the next wave of reinforcements just because you didn't press "ready".
-the possibility to mute all players (their microphones) in the audio options, i'm sick of guys telling me how great their last kill was
-put "pick up weapon/ammo" on another key, it's annoying if you want to pick up a weapon inside a building but just lean behind the nearest corner instead
-give snipers the possibility to use ordinary rifle rounds for their sniper rifle like in ro1 (e.g. have a kar98 scope, see a dropped ordinary kar98, let me use the ammo)
-give both teams halftracks. Or at least give it to the axis on spartanovka and the allieds on commisars house
-even if it's impossible to refix: please change the zoom when holding breath and make it less "strong". It lets you zoom like you have a sniper. It's not only very unrealistic but it also takes the advantage of a sniper rifle and nearly makes everyone a sniper

I hope you consider using at least a few of my ideas.

oh man you shouldnt have said that.

there are going be like 30 posts telling you how, the zoom is not really a zoom but an fov change to represent the human eye yadda yadda...

I personally think it ruins the game, as most engagements are well under 100 meters and is poorly implemented. ARMA2 has it, but the maps are so massive, it doesnt give you an advantage. plus its more intuitive to use; right click to ADS, hold right click to zoom.

Also the current maps are too small to fit in troop transports. it would be like, drive in straight line for 10sec and then get out. like the tanks on fallen fighters, they never leave spawn and only have enough room to move up 10 yards and back up.

regardless, i like your ideas.

The RO1 ammo system is awesome the ability to pick up ammo seperately allowed you to get compatible ammo from other weapons is much better than what we have in RO2. Also dropping clips and mags would be great and better than the percentage give out crap.
