Restrict Requesting Of Crewman Kit To Their Respective Vehicles

Silly_Savage · 10-19-2009, 01:21 AM

This is a minor suggestion that would ideally prevent players from being able to request the Crewman kit from anywhere but their respective vehicles.

Doing so would hopefully resolve the issue of players requesting the Crewman kit to use as a crude form of CQB kit, most noticeably the MEC and the MP5.

Additionally, it could eliminate some minor exploits such as people requesting the kit for its field dressing/shovel.

All in all, just a minor suggestion that *shouldn't* be too much of a hassle to implement?

That would be hard to work around me thinks

All I have to say.

But no, seriously, probably not the greatest idea. I'm pretty sure it was this way at one point, actually, but I don't often get crewmen from anywhere BUT a vehicle...

Also, how's it an exploit getting a kit for a shovel?

OP is right though, if you are not at the vehicle i cant see any reason why anyone would need crewman.

At the very least the crewman kit request option could be taken out of the maps that don't have the vechicles. Having them requestable only from vechicles might have its own problems...

OK by me if guys want to CQB with the MP5 just get them out in the open with a scoped rifle.

As an admin on a server and waiting for ppl to join, I will make a useful firebase and doing that you need to apply for commander, accept and request the officer kit then resign, join squad and deploy forward outpost. Then I will need to shovel it up and as you know officer kit doesnt have it and the only kit with a shovel that you can request with a shovel is a crewman kit.

Sorry, you're wrong. The automatic rifleman can be requested as well.

Not if you're alone in the squad.

The crewman kit has an MP5 and knife as offensive weapons. The kit is already barely useful in combat other than the SMG do to a lack of grenades, useful items like a rope or ammo, etc. All they have is smoke and one gun.

In what situations are these crewman kits so overpowered or improperly used that restricting them is necessary?
