Vehicle Spawns
I'm just kind of spit-balling here but I think the call-in system should be limited to the LATV, Quads, trucks (and motorcycles, remember those?) and Rangers. I think that armor and aircraft should ...
Oh yeah I forgot about the bomber call-ins, good point!
I like the idea of arty strikes or scans too.
I can understand why DICE is doing menu spawns (different modeling for different loadouts, skins, spawn camping), but I definitely prefer having vehicles spawn on the 'field' rather than in the menus.
The move to menu spawns has divided people up into vehicle mains and infantry mains. I'm sure there's a lot of infantry players out there who'd like to use vehicles more, but just aren't willing to spending their gaming time waiting in the spawn menu. I fall into this group.
With field spawns you'll occasionally get lucky and stumble across something cool. The surprise factor and the ability to walk around that heli or jet admiring it is a pretty cool moment. I think Battlefield is at it's best when players can transition between air, armor, infantry all in one life. I recall moments when I was getting over run by the enemy, but happened across an empty tank that helped turn the tables. Or the times I was passing through a hanger on BF1943 on my way to my next object and happened across an empty Corsair and decide to take that for a spin instead. That sort of emergent gameplay can create some awesome moments, I'd love to see it return.
