I just thought of a lil idea...maybe kind of stupid or lame...
but if we are talking about specializing people for certain functions and everything and getting more tactical...
I would like to see for M.P. games a way in which you can have a Commanding General for the entire side... the small group or platoon leaders could radio in to the head quarters...
in which case a small map could be placed infront of the general showing the placement of all groups. From the whole picture the General could have the option to draw on a map and give briefing instructions on specific missions and sent out to the platoon during game play. At the same time the general could radio back to the leaders or such....
They could call in the air strikes to certain coordinates by intell from spies or scouts....
I know it can be done to some extent with the current ofp...
but to have a specific slot for commander and have a toggle for the commander between the radio(to all leaders)-map(sub maps to draw new plans to be sent out to leader[s])-intelligence(spies/satellite/scouts/leaders and could make notes on a clip board to remember)-airstrikes or reinforcements-playing screen
not only that but you could have a player or players gathering the information in the command center... could have one controlling the satelites or intell and sifting through it to decide what the general gets to know about....
Also the information gathered and plans written down could also be found or stolen by the other side if they take over your command center or sneak in
Then for radio transmissions ...or intell...a side could determine a "code" so the other side couldn't read it...
Whew!!... sorry if its a dumb idea or can't figure out what im talking about...im on some meds because im under the weather http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
