one class need to support the other class, and this is the reason for succes, let say 32 players, 4 squads, is 8 members per squad

and for every class at least one person, and if there are places left, u can give some classes an extra player in ur squad

Yeah, mine too. I remember one particular session. We had a really exelent squadleader that was leading the squad through voip. There was a few soldiers with us from outside our squad too. We just drove around with 3-4 vehicles, taking every flag we came to. There´s just no way to stop a well organized, and lead squad, if the defense is not as organized. It gave a great teamwork feeling to the game.

That's why it's not a realistic game. Getting a squad that works as a squad is hard, but is worth it. My best times in BF2 were in VOIP squads.

yeah it would be great. tired of them running around the entire map to get one flag solo. No Dont have a problem with a squad say navy seal style getting a flag. would make it interesting. Would love the front lines. good battles this way....

Yeah one guy is not going to try to run through Iraq and capture something by himself. lol

that's why there are squads in BF2, if they work together and there are different classes in one squad, they are almost invincible (if they use the correct tactics --> protecting the most important person in the squad)

The capture time IS different depending on how many people there are. I know, it's damn near impossible to organize a co-ordinated strike and I'm damn good at solo work. I take flags single-handedly a lot.

That would limit the strategic aspect of hitting the place, that the enemy is not defending and capturing a flag to enable the team to spawn and attack from a different side of the battlefield. If it would be possible to capture only one flag at a time that is. As a game mode it would be cool though..

I like the stealth rambo style. It does kind of promote teamwork, suing your team to keep the enemy occupied while a select few take advantage of the situation and capture enemy flags, teaching the enemy a lesson in teamwork in the form of defence.

Sure but what is happening atm is completly other thing. PPl dont play as a team instead they are just running around and the worst are stat padders. Honnestly how many guys you see defending the flag in the back yard ? On server I see almost none. Ok you get the flag in the back and it's a single person who can take it. How that could be possible ?

I know that this is a arcade style game and many are looking for fun but could we just make it a little bit serious. Don't make a single guy able to capture the flag instead make the squad able only.

That will promote the teamplay and the rambo style but only at the squad level.

This can be done by adjusting the capture time. Just to give you an exemple

1 guy = Cap time is 10 x normal time

2 guys = Cap time is 5 x normal time

3 guys = Cap time is 2 x normal time

4 guys = Cap time is normal cap time

5 guys = Cap time is 0.4 normal cap time

10 guys = Cap time is 0.1 x normal cap time

Sure Wrafe but litle encouregment from Dev team dosen't hurt

Or if you decide to make rambo style then at least make it so that you need at least 4 guys to take over a flag and not the single guy.

This form of flag capture was actually implemented bt Desert Combat for BF1942 and was known as "push" and yes, i think that would be a good way to go, but could maybe act as seperate game mode for the mod, as many people like the "conquest" style

Good point there! Forcing a frontline could be cool, but why not try to do that through clever map design instead? I think there SHOULD be a possibilty for players to rambo and go behind enemy lines since that adds more elements to the match, however it shouldn't be easy

Hi there, WELCOME to the forums.

I know what you mean, I played the demo of Unreal Tournament 2004 and what he says is correct, if this is possible to include I think perhaps in a latter release, this would be great.
