50 cal loaded indicator

I don't know if any of you have ever played the videogame of Peter Jackson's "King Cong". But in that game, they did a pretty good job without much of a HUD. You could check the amount of ammo left by pressing a seperate command, and the character would say "It's okay, I have enough ammo" for a lot of ammo. And there was one for medium, something like "This should do for a while", and one for allmost empty: "I'm almost out!".

This smells hardcoded for the BF2 engine, but it would be a cool way of measuring your approximate amount of ammo left, without actually getting the clip out and checking which would take more animations and stuff. Plus, it would be quite realistic.

Never seen this as a problem... It's rare to just pick up a humvee from the middle of the battlefield since it will probably be asset stealling. Someone used it to get there. And if it's not in use and you are allowed to take it I think wasting 90 ammo is a lot better then firing off 3 bullets at a charging horde of talibs and hear "click". Ussually one humvee is used by the same team untill it's blown up and that means that the gunner is most likely the same or at least informed if there is a shortage of ammo.

I was firing the SAW and it was very hard to tell if i had 100 rounds or 50 and /or 50 rounds or 3 and with a gun like the SAW you will know your low on ammo when its light as a feather to you xD

Humvee's aren't heavy assets therefore you can't steal it - if your squad wants the humvee then the squad should be near it.

Lots of people use Humvees or Landrover as a 1 man transport somewhere, other times the guys inside may be dead and the vehicle fine - ESPECIALLY with the landrover. Who knows how much ammo is left in? No One - excepting whoever was gunning it.

I agree there should be some way of telling.

Even so if a squad is using it for regular transport (like my squad did on qwai) to get arround fast (for egzample you need to quickly reinforce defence after a failed rush) then some solo guy making off with your humvee kinda deserves a boot in the ass (simply put kicked out of server or warned).

Assets can be stolen even if they are not heavy. When on operation archer the other time i TK several people trying to make off with our humvee which we used for cache hunting...
