Re: Remove the banner-grabbing animation

"What if the banner is the first item in the loot box? This can make banner grabbing slower if you plan to just grab and run but better if you plan to shield swap/grab heals or ammo in the middle of a fight."

This is the correct answer. The duration would be about the same as the grab is today, and makes it easier to do exactly what you want to with the death box.

Unfortunately this has some problems of its own. For example if you're with randoms it opens up the option for them to just loot your box without taking your banner. I think a good compromise would be for the game to automatically take the banner when entering a teammates box, you get the shield swap or whatever you need in the heat of the moment and then when you exit the box it does the animation so you duck behind cover. It still could get you killed sometimes, but it would be better than the current system where you have to wait for the animation before you can swap.

I made a post about this a while back but it hasn't really gotten any attention from EA and I doubt it ever will

Perhaps you could have some amount of shields when you grab that banner or speed boost?
