scout chopper is too weak and has little effective use on the current battlefield. it should be the sniper of the sky, spotting and selectively take out high value targets. i would suggest giving scout chopper irnv and rocket pods.

artillery would be great if they could scale it to map sizes and give more then just one type of round.

i would still like to see two seat jets for skillful use of tv missiles like the old bf2 days.

it would be nice if dice could have it so you could select what kind of vehicles and how many you want on a map. a apc on Caspian sea would make a valuable tool.

The scout helicopter can actually be really useful if you have a pilot who is dedicated and selfless enough. I agree though, there needs to be something more worth while to make it more useful to average players too though.

1 scout chopper can chew up infantry and spit them out

2 scouts with guided missiles can take out tanks pretty fast

Exactly, I love the scout chopper, it is so quick and nimble you can rack up kills on infantry like its nobodies business.

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
