Post here the ideas you would like to see in Huxley.

1. Team work:
I think one of the biggest problems with squad based games is the lack of teamwork. So maybe make it that when you are around the leaders you get a bonus to your XP or if you complete an objective assigned to you by a leader you get a bonus. That way it would give an encentive to your team mates to stay around you or actually accomplish the tasks you give your teams.

2. Leaders:
This kinda goes hand in hand with Number 1. I actually liked the way BF2 allowed the commander to pull up a mini map and actually assign objectives to the different squads. So maybe allow each squad leader or commander to be able to do the same. Pull up a mini map and communicate and or assign the different squads objectives.

Pre battle breifings:
I think WWIIOL tried this but it was too early in its genra. Allow us to do pre battle breifings before we all head out. Pull up a map and in real time so everyone on your team can see, draw on the map or create points or something of the like.

3. Weapons:
One thing I hate about BF2 and all the other games is the ability to choose any weapon you want. Now I understand the issue of people hogging the good weapons and doing nothing with them but if they can find a good way to limit the different weapon types that would be excellent. I cant stand when you run into a battle with a group of guys just to find out that 5 out of 7 of your squadies all have a sniper rifle and your in a close quarters battle.

4. Communications:
In game voice comms are a MUST! Nothing is more imparative than being able to talk to your team mates when you need to. Yes I know that there are many diff programs out there that will allow this but the problem is just that. Too many diff ones plus you have to givew out the IPs and all that jaz.. In game comms is a MUST.

Thats what I have so far.
