LGMB Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 Soldiers, I was just looking at the company and battaloin commanders in CMBO, and realized that though they graphicly carry pistols, they are armourd with mostly SMGs..... I was wondering if in CM2 the commanders might be proswaded to carry SMGs instead of pistols (i.e. use the SMG of choice graphic instead of the pistol code chunk).

David Aitken Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 Commanders carry pistols so that they look like commanders, and can be distinguished from depleted infantry squads. The people who carry SMGs are his staff/radio operators, so depicting the HQ unit with an SMG would be misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I think it is good the way it is now because you can quickly identify HQs. If they carried regular weapons they would look the same as squads that have lost 2/3 of their strength. However, it would be nice if their pistols were not hardcoded hunks of metal.

And your right it would make things more confusing.... hmmmm *thinks of way to save topic* Perhaps hq's should be made to look like 2 man depleted squads? One carring a pistol, the other an SMG.... But this probally won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
