I'm not sure if I quite understand the system the way it functions today. Why is there a person-specific timer on top of the server timer for a vehicle to become ready again? The way I see it the vehicles in BF sets it apart from other FPS titles, why make it so hard to pilot a chopper or a tank?

Worst in the series.Being able to spawn vehicles in wherever you are on the map without cost or effort to obtain them removes a massive chunk of objective based gameplay. Where you would have fought over particular objectives to give your team an extra tank or artillery or being able to grab some light transport after successfully taking over an objective to continue your momentum to the next objective. There is now no relevance to what objective you decide to fight over, no value to any ground your team holds. You can just get a vehicle anywhere at any time.Then there's the terrible categorisation. Jeeps and light armour sharing the same spawn pool. Having to choose between APC, MBT and AA, all very different class of vehicles all put under heavy armour. Jets and Attack helicopter being in the same category. Littlebird being in the transport category despite the team not being able to spawn on them and due to it's obscene offensive capabilities, overshadows the actual transport aircraft that actually benefits the team by providing a mobile spawn point.Whole vehicle spawn system could do with a complete rework.

You have to admit, it was a sight to see before 3.2? (or was it 3.1?) when breakthrough maps still had objectives on top of buildings, you take a lift up only to be greeted by multiple tanks, wildcats, hovercrafts all aimed at your tiny little elevator door. I would just laugh as everyone in the elevator with me was turned into a fine red mist.Stupid, yes. Funny, yes.Thankful they removed objectives on top of buildings, also yes.

What should be done is to completely remove everything other than light transport vehicles (and maybe this robot dog thingy if they insist on keeping it in the game even though I am in favor or removing it completely) from the call-in system.Just light vehicles with no or very basic weapons only (definitely NO .30 or .50 with heavy spash damage!). Then make sure every player can call in one at any time (meaning: reduce or remove the timer and increase the number of vehicles available). This would at least prevent us from having to run the barren maps for 2 minutes before getting either insta-killed by a NTW-50 body shot or by a OP Nightbird just before reaching the next flag.

set spawns at flag locations and starter bases is still the best to me.I remember when a map would start the only vehicles on the map where in the starter base, and it was a rush to get to those other flags to spawn in stuff you want/like. there would be big battles at some locations over the extra chopper bf2 or walkers 2142. now you can hide in a bush and just use magic to have a tank land on you.

What are your thoughts on the current vehicle spawn system?

I like the old spawn system better.
Heavy vehicles should spawn on capture points and bases.
The maps are huge so we should be able to call in transports everywhere on the map. With transports i dont mean Boltes i mean something like a Quad.

@Texatorr I agree, way to little transport vehicles. And I mean transport, not a car with a huge gun or something. More quads and motorbikes etc.
