Im sure people will hate these idea but what the hell, I think it would be good to try them...

1)Remove name tags from players. This way you have no idea if people are friendly or not unless you check the uniform or your radar ( I see many team kills, but good for realism...yeah I know, many ppl dont want realism or Americas army etc)
2)Have an infantry only server that has ALL the maps rather than just a few. I like the idea of some of the huge on urban maps being infantry only.
Being honest, airpower seems to home in on me and I dont like it...not till I learn to fly anyway.
Ill see what the reception is here b4 i drag my name thru the dirt on the saix forum :)
 
2) there aren't any servers that run ALL the maps. All of them - be it infantry/urban/airborne stick to the same maps.

I wont necessarily remove name tags. After all, you enjoy playing with guys you know AND you enjoy knifing certain okes. It might be interesting taking the colour out of the name... but half the okes will be booted from the server for excessive team kills - i can guarantee you that.

You should give the bf2 mod " AIX " a go, it resolves alot of gameplay issues and is a potload of fun. re: the plane kills, they just introduce more planes, so youre too busy fighting air combat to concentrate on ground troops...and what's more, ground troops can pick up stinger missiles and take out planes. *revenge is sweet*

keep the ideas coming though.

Another idea that might be interesting is if the enemy captures your commander, it also counts as ticket loss.
 
well it might be cool to remove name tags IF you could justify it as being more realistic. u have the radar to guide u but its not always that clear cut who's who. the question is: it is as easy to visually identify an enemy player in the game as it would be in real life? personally i like having name tags, after all this is a game not a reality simulator :P
 
It would be cool if there was like no name tags but a green dot above your team mates heads.
Makes its easier to stick in a squad of your connections.
If the uniforms were more definate in terms of colours then it would be cool, maybe there should be a choice to turn it on or off.
AIX admittedly is awesome, if there were server for that then I would play it rather than just straight bf2 mostly.The planes are way easier to fly too with more intelligent control.
 
@ voicy
re 2) thats what I'd like tho :) A server that runs all the maps infantry only.
Regarding playing wih players you know, you will still have squads and manage to team up with buddies but you may have to stick closer together and maybe even communicate a bit more. I presumename tags is a server side setting?
No green dots and @ scumbag re
its not always that clear cut who's who. the question is: it is as easy to visually identify an enemy player in the game as it would be in real life?

thats the point. Its also why there is so much "friendly fire" out there in the real world. I think he radar is more than enough. It would be cool to try it anyway. I do agree that there will be LOTs of team kills till people learn to look then shoot.

Still a great and very enjoyable game in any guise, Any other thoughts on changes? I think maybe limited fuel for jets...have to land to refuel and reload...maybe just a stop start but it would make em a bit more vulnerable.
 
If they were going to make the game realistic, there'd be a mcdonalds outlet next to every hotel of every map by now... :p

What about 16 player maps, small as in you can use a shotgun, no long walking distances and best of all not jets.

you have those when you play lans, there just aren't any gaming servers running for it, since the maps would always be full and u'd have to run 10 servers just to accomodate enough 16player maps. :(
 
there are a few 16 player maps online but none of them local.
I think the only 16 player maps on SAIX are for the clan server.
 
Really? I thought you couldnt get ranked servers held by clans due to abuse with rankings from kill/revive stuff and cheating on medals/badges and stuff.
Apparently when it was new you could get ranked servers for clans.
