?? have you ever popped a military smoke? My experience is they take LONGER to fill the air than PR smoke (but once they do it's thicker and lasts MUCH longer than PR smoke).

There is no real life equivalent to the "insta smoke" in vBF2 (at least not that I am aware of being carried by infantry).

30 seconds is nothing compared to several minutes to get back into fight.
I also fear the fact, that spawn camping could become popular - why knife the RP when you can stay a bit and kill an entire squad and make 'em respawn for another 5 minutes. Doesn't hurt to think like a smacktard every once in a while.

Yes please.

Sometimes that's a necessity 'cause of glitching but you know this.

If the time the dressing took to take effect once its beed "used"(/Picked up) was increased, it might not be such an 'exploit'.

The message showing the timer when you are down shows a new message telling about the new GIVE UP option, so all players, new and old, will understand the new change.

Awesome changes

Another thing that, imo, would be good would be a very blurred vision when incapacitated instead of the black screen.[offtopic/]

I now really like the change, I often get stuck playing Medic in my squad because I'll take it if no one wants it to move kit selection along. Although I do ask one other simple thing, could we have something a little more interesting to look at than the black screen? Please?

A white light in the middle that keeps coming closer? :P

[[R-MOD]Spec]

Keeps? As in, its coming closer but never reaches the screen, no matter how long the spawn time is? Now, THAT would really be awesome.

But seriously, there could be something.
I'd be for the hints that also show on the map loading screen.

Rather than "Give up" have... "Step into the light" lols

I've done a quick search regarding this next suggestion, found lots of threads with "wounded, kill, etc..." and fear hardcoded issues...

I was thinking about being able to shoot critically wounded people, waiting to be revived. If you can't finish them off due to HC, what if when you shoot a downed player (critically wounded), they "give up" that 30 seconds of this new extra time?

Hardcoded? or is it possible to kill or take away "give up" time to a downed player with a gunshot?
