New ability to play same faction on both sides

[Projecttwoandy]

So procon now has a function to be able to play the same faction on both sides to have perfect vehicle balance on each side. Don't know if this is something that we would want to ever implement, but if there is ever an opportunity for 2v2 heli or jet dogfighting, etc, this would be a great function.


Here are the console commands for Procon:
vars.teamYFactionOverride X

Y = team variable
X = faction variable
0 = USA
1 = RU
2 = CN

Perfect. Let's figure out what side provides the most balanced vehicle combinations (i.e. stealth <-> attack jets) and use only that. No more stupid imbalances.

We can have a civil war re-enactment?

I guess the Russians are out of the equation (stupid maneurable sexy Suhkoi)

Oh gawd. Can you imagine the kung fu treachery with everyone having the same camo? And the team kills. We would have to ban Gwynzer.

Probably the only rounds Gwynzer wouldn't TK anyone

Why? If both sides have it...

I find that BF4's soldiers are completely indistinguishable from each other. Even close up they look the same in a way that wasn't true for BF3, not sure what it is exactly.

True; I have no idea how you people have played this with 3d spotting off before.

I have never paid attention to what the soldiers look like, I don't understand how some people are able to distinguish between teams by how the soldiers look... I just use the 3d labeling; if they have a blue name over them they are team mates, if not, they're enemies. I assumed this was the way everyone did it...

Bad about name tag is... if there is a blue one behind a enemy you think the enemy is a friendly sometimes...
I have to admit that I mostly do the same ( look for the collour of name

I think there is enough cammo to have two different team set up ( anyway today all the cammo looks nearly like each other ).
Imagine the risk systhem can have a card to choose nation now... we can set Maps to what we want them to be or even can have the same maps with dif armys on them to avoid boredom a bit.
only downside I see or can think of is server can't handle it and crashes even more

[Gwynzer]

I just shoot everybody.

It's not just "are they on my team", which yeah you use the magic dorito for that, but "what class are they". In the olden days, you could usually get some hint based on the player model. Engineer had his mask, support had a big backpack, etc. Now, even though those things are still true, something about the way they're rendered makes them completely indistinguishable to me.

The soldiers in the game look like weird glowing plastic dolls sometimes, whereas in BF3 they always fit into the environment. I guess they had to make some trade off so they could LEVOLVE
