Re: Is the "anti-hoarding" vehicle timer doing more bad than good?

the fact that you feel that you are more entitled to a vehicle than someone else tells me the system is working

That was unessesarily spiteful.

I will repeat what I posted as a reply to Trokey:

Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to get the vehicle. You achieve that by either not interfering with who can get it first or going all the way and building a queue system. What we have in BF2042 is a clumsy and unintuitive half measure that still includes the spawn clickspam wars only it excludes just one player at a time (who might or might not had been the one who could benefit the team the most).

everyone has the same initial opportunity at the vehicles at the start of a round.  the system only affects you if you already had a go.  that means it should be someone else's turn if you already used a vehicle.  doesn't matter if *by your opinion* you will do more with the vehicle, it is someone else's turn.  if no one else wants a turn after a set amount of time, then it's all yours.  learn to share.

i like the system, but i would like to see the spawn in thing go away (landmines on runways were so much fun).  i'd get rid of the spawn in thing but keep a delay on how long you had to wait to take a new vehicle

@Psubond
I would be much happier if that would be the case. The spawn screen system is the main reason that players who would not had bothered claiming the vehicle otherwise are getting them since it is 2 clicks of effort.

Just look at how in Rush mode, the MAV, the tank and the helicopters might not even get used for a long time and just rot at the base.

Yes I would absolutely love having starting bases with empty vehicles again, even with the delay.

Plus the spawn system causes a lot of players to spawn with Nightbirds when the team desperately needs a Hind or a Condor to help the team get past the enemy lines and spawn in tacticaly favorable possition.

Please do not talk about me as if I am some selfish trick who does not want to let others play. If I knew I could trust the others with the vehicle I would be happy to not use any vehicles for the entire round, it is easier to have fun with infantry in this game than with a slow armored ground vehicle with slow turret turn which goes down in 4 rockets in a game were half the enemy team is often equiped with M5.

Perhaps I need to learn to care less about the outcome of the round and just start derping around like most people do instead of  trying to help turn the tide.

Youre missing the point, it shouldn't be a matter of trusting other players to use the vehicle in a way you decide is appropriate.  The system is there to not allow you to hog the vehicles for whatever reson including a superiority complex.  The system is working as intended since it gives others an advantage of getting the vehicle *after you have already had your time in one and died*
