Some ideas

IDEA 1 OHNOES!!1

When you're crawling on the floor, you should be able to carry weapons. Now I had two ideas.

a) You should be able to duck and hold light weapons (pistols, knives)

or

b) You should be able to duck and hold anything.

What do you guys think? I mean it would be awesome to ambush unsuspecting base defenders.

IDEA 2 PLZNOMR!!1

You should be able to jump. Yeah you heard me, jump onto crates, barrels, etc. You should also be able to strafe jump or jump off of buildings (matrix moves anyone? XD)

Jumping would change the gameplay completely. The jetpack is the solution for jumping and it works quite well for use without ruining the shooting itself. Jumping would just be another way for people to "lame" and change the skillset entirely.

I don't see any way to take advantage of ducking anyway. All ganis aside, ducking is just moving slower without a gun. Moving slower with a gun presents little added advantage anyway, so to not have the gun at all makes ducking mostly useless in its current state. The only true advantageous use of duck would be to ambush but it is easy to spot somebody ducking from a distance. Basically I'm saying that holding a gun while ducking won't really help any more than what we have now.

Ducking removes you from the radar (I think), so adding guns with this would be very useful, adding a stealth element to the game.

And jumping is interesting. People with jetpacks lame, so atleast this'll even it out.

if they do make it possible to jump, make it with "Jumping lessons" thing, that costs 4500 dollars, no way have I just wasted 7500 dollars on what someone can use on me...

Thruster Boots ($4500)....jumping lessons seems a little primitive. I've always wondered though why you need a hand free to use your jetpack...

people with jetpacks dont lame....u just say they lame because u dont have one....
i like the duck idea...would be cool....but if u can hold light weapons when ur ducking, then u should only be able to wear one pistol

I don't have one correct, but I see people with jetpacks fight, and when they're about to lose, they fly away and heal.

jetoacks are really annoying, and Maximus is right, as soon as they are close to dying they will fly away, and you can't shoot them in the air. i would also like more vehicles, like a warthog from halo.

Guys, when I said jumping I dont mean you hold down the button and jump 100 tiles. I mean short jumps like Babylon had.

Ducking takes you off the radar, good for ambushes and such. Currently when you duck your gun is taken up so when you get up not only do you have to dodge incoming people, you gotta bust your weapon out.

Maybe to counter jetpacks, make a new classic specifically for removal of vehicles and air support? Like they have a flak cannon, and anti - tankish gun (powerful weapons but made to take a long time to reload / fire another shot).

Hey, Its hard to Quickly change weapons, get the jetpack out, and hope you have enough energy to get the **** out of all the enemies who are everywhere...

So you're saying because its hard to do, it justifies running and healing? and how hard can it be? OH NO, Q, ARROW, S. FLY.
