I thought it might be fun to play sometimes when there was a limited number of sniper rifles and bazookas available, et al. Not banned, just proportional.
I don't do any programing so not sure what it would take.
But like for every ten players on a team you would automatically have 5 M1s, 2 tommy guns, and 1 scope, rocket, BAR respectively. Players pick their "preferred weapon" but they only get it when it becomes available. It is done on a rotating basies, and once you get your preferred weapon you only keep it as long as you remain alive. (This would make one want to stay alive even more.) Once you are dead it gets passed on to the next guy who has it as a preferred weapon. Maybe you can have a first and second choice listed.
It would mean sharing, which I know seems hard for mp players to ever do. But it would also make players do something other than go to the same window with the same weapon over and over and over and over. Would mix up the strategy more as shock troops with submachine guns would be different people than they were the last round, as would the snipers etc.
For the Germans I would recommend having 2 mausers and 4 schmisser machine pistols since they were a more integral part of the basic soldiery than the Thompson was on the American side. Gives the Germans a slight edge, but not nearly as much as if you had the same number of bolt action rifles against M1s.
I am not saying make multiplayer do this, but rather it would be fun if some servers did.
Any thoughts on the feasablity?
