<div class="IPBDescription">Kinda like MGS</div>I was thinking maybe the comm could drop weapons/equipment that are tagged/selected by the comm for a certain player on the team that way only that player can pick it up, but i guess after it has been dropped it should be usable by other marines.

    I could see why - to keep some lamer idiot from picking up the only shotgun you can afford right now...
    ..or that guy who always picks up the mines and puts them in weird locations instead of on the forward phase gate...

    that sort of thing.

    Or a newcomer to a server never gets any drops because he isn't "friends"with the comm.....................I just see this as being abused in pubs.

    I can see how this could be useful, could prevent noobs picking up the only JP you can afford and need a skilled player to use. A nice idea. But it would be too open to abuse.

    I think we all forget that weapons can be dropped and given to other players. The only problem is if that complete nublet that picked up the gun is an a complete ###### hole as well and won't drop it then yah that can suck but thats people and you will always have ###### heads in a game. Making a function that only allows one player to pick up the gun would solve that problem but it would also make a few others. I think what we need to remember is that our solutions shouldn't make more problems.
    (Which seems like common sense i know.)
    Now what i think would be a good idea is the ability to "take off" the jetpack/heavy armor that you are wearing. I think we have all been there when there is a pile of ha/jp's you really want that jp but instead you get an ha or vice versa. you would be able to take it off and try again at getting what you want. Now I don't really see that being misused but I could be missing something and not seeing the whole picture.

    Good idea. I think you should be able to shread your current upgrade (HA,JP) and get another one.
