But I think it's a must for Invasion, or possibly Pelican/Phantom drops to start the rounds, I think it would be cool for every spawn but then unless they made it so you chose your spawn then drop really fast, the animations would be awful, you're just about to land and suddenly change your spawn point.
*Red team* Falcons up, lets get the cor-
*Jeff* Double kill, Triple kill
*Red team* God damn drop pods flying through the air, make your mind up where you wanna spawn blues!
*Blue team* Teh lulz

LMFAO!!!!! that would be funny everyone dies on a map and its like i wanna spawn here no here no here
but actually you move yourself as your falling in Section 8 so its more like you pick a safe spot to land but if you wanna be closer or further away then once you hit the brakes you can move in that general area think of it as the target designator for spawning you got a big target but you can hit anywhere in that area but it would be fun to go high speed and land on someone and get a kill for it lol and get a medal like Slammin'

I'd say for that to work you would have to select your spawn before dropping but then for the ones who don't support the idea from the start, it will be a major deterent.

think of it this way if your team was pinned down and you were ready to spawn you could spawn behind the enemy and make them focus on two fronts instead of just one or land right in the middle of them confuse them even more and tada instant help even if suicidal but really in that other game you pick your spot to respawn before your deployed but once you start down and then slow down in that spawn area you set down you can move so you can have yourself spawn in an area with vehicles but you can move close to which ever vehicle you want if i can find a video of it ill post a link to it if i can

No need, well not for me anyway, if you think you could find one though, post it for the OP.

It's a shame that a thread like this needs a single bump, the idea is good, well thought out ans although a long read, not a wall.

well the problem is
1. its the week. a vast majority of BNET go-ers dont go on during the week.

2. its a long read, although good, long. and this site has an attention span of about 10 seconds.

3. alot of the people on this website have already voted, so the chance that NEW voters will come in stays the same, but the progress decelarates.

its not that big a deal though, as long as we keep reviving it, more people will see it. all flaming topics make it off the 1st page on a rather frequent basis, it is just the ones whose owner is absent that actually die.

I like the whole inner outer perimeter idea. Similar to a map I was building before my Xbox was taken away D:


Awesome Idea. I want elephants back too, just not the 3 miles an hour speed limit.

but thats what makes them balanced!

thanks for the feedback

heres an idea for it an assault type spawn where you can have someone or a few of your team drop behind enemy lines to let the rest of your team in also for some forge objects and an idea for forge traps and trip wires alarm systems real gates oh and for the forge idea animated items like opening and closing doors windows gates things like that and let us be able to animate objects as well but make it simple like set the start point for an object and make an end point for an object (either using the same object or a line and arrow system or both) plus some forerunner objects would be nice (like in the tempest with the buildings connected by the beam that would be nice) to recreate some of the campaign maps for use in like invasion and stuff
