I'd also love for control points require a presence of more than one soldier for the CP to be captured, but as far as I know, this is not possible with the BF2142 engine.

Hm, i play actually a BF2 campaing, and we are using the 21CW Mod.
In this mod you need 2 soldiers to capture a flag.
AFAIK it's a map setting, because on some maps you can take the CPs with only one soldier.

( We call this maps "Maps for heros", because most flags are very good defended in a campaing style of BF2 Battles, so only a real hero like Chuck Norris will be able to capture the flag alone )

A "real" flag by flag mode should it make impossible to enter a non capable base for the enemy (killzone) or to spawn for the defenders (no spawnpoints).

I do so agree. Uncappable zones should have an Anti-Base Camping (ABC) system in place that killed intruders. I'd also love for control points require a presence of more than one soldier for the CP to be captured, but as far as I know, this is not possible with the BF2142 engine.

Personally i have the feeling that the Troopers Standard Gun is to weak.
If i meet during moving a moving Guy with a heavy Blaster i'm death.
IMHO in Standard BF 2142 the balancing between Assault and Support is better.
Moving Assault meets moving Support in BF 2142 -> Support dies
Moving Assault meets prone Support -> Assault dies

Prone Spamming should be no problem, because the penal-delay in accuracy you have for a couple of seconds after going prone.

Talking about Flag by Flag Conquest...
On Endor is no flag by flag.
The imps don't defend the first flag, they head to the Ewoks Village ( killing all Ewoks ) an dig in.
On Mos Espa one flag is mostly undefended.
A "real" flag by flag mode should it make impossible to enter a non capable base for the enemy (killzone) or to spawn for the defenders (no spawnpoints).

In the right hands with a good team the weapons do their job well.

I do get peeved with some of the randomness on SOME weapons. More when in the kneeling or prone position and it makes no differance to accuracy. Sure, if you fire repeatedly on auto they should be going wide, but when prone and making single shots or short bursts the rounds should be going where you have the sights.

Unless of course the troops just picked up a weapon and didnt zero it before going into battle

As for the light Repeating Blasters, they need to be reduced in effectiveness at close range. You can run-and-gun with them easily against foes only a few meters away from you, which is very unrealistic with weapons that are basically machine guns and should as such be support weapons more than assault weapons.

But as was said, weapon tweaking won't happen anytime soon as it is a very delicate balancing act and even the least change takes a whole lot of testing.

Well, we testers are having lots of scraps with them as we're making combined arms maps, and with antitank mines and shields, they're plenty powerful as they are.

Also, FS is an arcade mod, which is part of the reason, I guess, why you have many weak rockets instead of a few powerful ones (PR style). And AT-STs are supposed to be powerful against infantry .

My pet peeve is with rocket launchers and their lack of damage. Makes walkers a mite too tough- takes about 5 rockets to the face to blow one up. This leads to amusing situations where the walker is trying to step on the heavy weapons guy who is dancing around his feet.

Unfortunately we are not going to address weapons accuracy with this next release, but it may be something we'll look at in a future release.

All? Do you mean both? Only the HWS rocket launchers are antitank weapons. And the DEMP, of course. Addressing this one as many don't seem to realize that the Packered Mortar Gun is not an antitank weapon.

This is the part of your post I disagree with the most. The Push mode is a godsend for the mod. Compare Endor Strike Team and Mos Espa to Mos Entha. On Mos Espa and Endor, 90% of the time is spent in firefights as you have only two to four (five at most?) Control Points to fight over, and most of the time only two of them are actually contested. Sure, you have the random lone wolf sneaking about back-capping flags, but most of the control points are taken by driving back the combined might of the enemy army.

On Mos Entha, you have random bands of soldiers running to and from flags, taking new control points only to realize they have to go back to the old one because someone capped it. You have lone wolf tactics where lone soldiers are encouraged to sneaks over to abandoned control points and captures them, for then to move on. There is no control point defense unless you get pinned down, or are forced to defend due to the maps being series of choke points. It feels as if 80% of my time on Mos Entha is spent running about. In short, gameplay deteriorates very quickly, which is one of the main reasons I never really developed much of a liking for that map.

That is all.

You'll notice that the more harsh setting rates are only when you jump or insta prone. This is to try and limit the usefulness of bunny hopping and insta-proning/dolphin diving , which plagues the BF series.

I have no problem with the prone settling, I too dislike insta-proners.

I should have specified that I meant running-to-crouch settling.

Edit: The pistols are fine, in 2142, they're a short-range spam weapon, here, they are slower-but-more-accurate.

Whats wrong with the settling rate from running to crouching?

It settles fast enough imo.

I've been getting the hang of the officer's DL-44, and I'm discovering it's a damn good weapon.  I was playing Endor last night and took down 4 rebels in a row from a moderate distance, whilst they blasted away at me with their big clumsy rifles. :-)
