MAG

I had a thought, people enjoy the support class where you can fix and heal and I think it fits nicely into the game. When you get a good squad who heals each other it can be very rewarding and successful. I'd like to see an ammo pack as one of the upgrades too. If a squad member is low on ammo you can give maybe 2 mags to them and one grenade/ RPG. The person giving ammo will receive points for their work. It could come in handy when attacking as you often don't have an ammo refill nearby to stock up and if you go to find one you either get killed or your squad falls back. 

It would help squads stick together too. And maybe you'd have to refill your ammo pack at a refill point so it doesn't get too overpowered. Any thoughts?

If you look through the computer voice commands with the D pad, you can call for back-up, medic one of them is also 'pick-up' for ammo. This would suggest there was once a time when ammo drops were considered but this was not carried through to the game.

Personally I think the current fixed ammo crates system works well to create a fixed point of resupply. If ammo pick ups were mobile then it would be alot easier to keep pushed up on the front line with no one ever needing to drop back to resupply.

I think the ammo wallah would be a good idea.

Just imagine, you've managed to push the enemy back to their base and have hemmed them in so they have no way out. You spot one sneaking out and bring your gun up to shoot, and click no ammo, now you have to run all the way back to your crate, by which time all the enemy have broken out of their base and are now herding you back to yours.

That's what I was thinking. I played a game last night on Raven's acquisition map where we crushed the bunkers on the left platoon section within five minutes. After the fight we had very little ammo so all eight of us went to refill and got mown down by four guys on Raven at the ammo point. We'd left our front line so they came back to where our choppers hang out so we had to push back up to the car again 

If we could have an ammo pack ability it would be good. Only to carry a few more clips and give them to our allies. Alternatively we could have a skill which lets you carry  more ammo such as one more RPG, grenade or mine and 2 extra mags for your gun.

I think a few more clips would be a nice upgrade for the Assault Rifle especially, I hate running out -.- Although that pistol aint useless.

How about you can add clips to your guns for C? 100c per AS clip, 300 per MG clip, 150 per SMG clip, etc?

[zeelack]

That would be good. And if you go to an ammo point you could refill those extra spots as well as main ammo. It could be an attachment to a weapon eg. extended magazine (could be good) or extra ammo. Or it could take up a weapon slot (ammo pouch). Could be as an add on to armour.

[Abyssmire3]

I was thinking more add an extra slot to the weapon and add however many extra clips you want as you would something like a Foregrip.

I think an Extended Magazine would change things a bit much, though - 40-50 round in an AR or 70 in an SMG would be a bit strange.

[zeelack]

good point. I like your extra clips scheme, extended mags would mess it up a but: "Here's my SMG/LMG hybrid, it can fire 90 rounds without a reload but not one bullet will hit the target"

And for only 550 g
