backpack idea that would be cool

[general316 1]

Someone might have thought of this already but I'm sure you all have played with someone who has died and you want to bring their back pack back to them. I think it would be fair if we were allowed to carry a backpack in our hands (not wear one since you would already have one on) but would not be allowed to carry a weapon (weapon on ur back) of course. it would be risky because you could get caught with no weapon in hand but atleast you could pick it up and move it someone and hide it for later.

better if they let you pick up the dead body like in arma 2 and leg it with it lol would be funny seeing people running away with there mates body.

good idea, but every player you will see thats holding a pack, will disconnect the moment they hear a gun shot. or switch server to a very low populated one, run to his friend, then reconnect in the original server with peace of mind.

Once again, its a good idea, but until the disconnect problems are fixed, i dont think it will be implemented.

Have it so backpacks in hand will disappear on log out.

Yea I think an easy fix is to not allow people to log off with back pack in hand

You guys put WAY TO MUCH EMPHASIS ON THE "DISCONNECT" thing. The problem isn't the disco within the game. Hell in flight sims guys pull the ethernet cable to their system all the time to create lag and to let themselves slip around in virtual space without getting shot. It is much harder to do but that is what will begin to happen in this game if they eliminate the ability to disconnect in an Alt-F4 manner. I personally don't disco unless I am about to get hammered by a script kiddie somewhere but I do like being able to jump around to different servers because I have a bunch of friends that play on different servers and it allows me to play on different servers often with them without committing to playing on a low population or high population server all the time.

I like the idea and just wish people would stop complaining about something that is a non-factor in the grand scheme of the game unlike the script kiddie fags.
