A suggestion for bis

[-SWAF-Lunatic 0]

How about adding a mass collection button on the in game menu.

In the game you have to instruct each member to pick up a weapon, to add to your stockpile.

How about instructing them to just collect all local weapons, say in a fifty meter radius from yourself, as you would in RL.

Its a bit tedious, collecting them all on your own, as the ai dont know if its on an ammo truck or a dead body, they just go and grab one.

There must be a command that can be added, so that they start collecting weapons and depositing them in the place of your choice, ie, ammo truck etc.

Other than that, this addon is a marked improvement in an already outstanding game.

Excellent idea, probably will never happen though.

Nice idea - I`m always busy enough with surviving, that I rarely got time enough to order my men to rearm.

Yesterday I played one of the new SP missions and my medic treated an injured member of an Bradley but the Bradley and the crew wasn`t under my command and I don`t gave him order to do that (I think you can`t order medical treatment to non team members).

If the AI can do this, why can`t they collect ammo on their own?

Or if there is no ammo which fits to the gun, just grab another weapon?

Or another thing - yesterday I played the R campaign and in one mission I had to stop an convoy of 2 trucks loaded with weapons, an BMP and an small tank.

The trucks must be captured to help the resistance with the weapons, but what did my AI do?

They blew up one truck instead of the BMP or the tank!

And there is no command "attack everything that moves except the 2 trucks".

It would also be a nice idea to have a command like "get as many AK-74 magazines as you can carry". It's annoying repeating the pick up command over and over again if you want a soldier to pick up more than 1 magazine.

I just spent an hour filling the Ural from outside my house with weapons, drive it to the Resistance camp and we have to leave it behind Definitely needs some kind of mass collection option, way too tedious otherwise

I agree, OFP:R does need this feature "All, take what you can"- "All, put equipment into truck." or something similar.

It´s too complicated and timeconsuming to instruct each soldier seperately via the action menu, or even collect everything by yourself.

AI heals other crews because they are ordered to. Just not by you. The AI commander call's support. If it happens to be your medic, then he goes and heals them. That's how it worked in OFP, I'm assuming its the same in Resistance. I don't have it yet. (Damn U.S. release dates!

If anyone else agrees, plz post a message, the more messages, the more BIS are likely to take notice

I think it is a very good idea, and is keeping with the guerrila force theme

It would also be nice to find in the next mission the Ammo truck which in the previous mission, you captured, loaded and drove back to your base! It doesn't seem to happen.

OK, if you picked up a RPG, you will have it in the following mission. But you can only carry so much. Would be very nice to be able to make stock piles of weapons in the forest or in your base (on the ground, or by parking an ammo truck), and mark them on the map with a red tag (would also need to transfer the red tag, to remember where you have your stores, and to have access to a larger area than only the new mission area - I hate these "I seem to be getting lost, better look at my map" messages; don't see the point, really).

I did make an entire mission (taking the checkpoint followed by taking over the base/port) with a Bison (nice tool for close & stealth combat), regretting every minute of having left my brand new Dragunov in the Castle at the end of the "Scrap" mission. It probably had vanished from its location during the change of mission, but I was not even allowed to go & check.

One could even push further and wish that all the vehicles you captured (repair trucks, ammo trucks, captured tanks...) would be transfered to the following mission, at whatever place (capture place, base after relocation, or new mission location...).

Something like "ALL COLLECT WEAPONS INTO TRUCK 5 O'CLOCK" would be really nice. Best thing would be if they didn't collect the weapons for themselfes, but just loaded them in the designated target straight away.

Edit: I think you can access your collected weapons during the briefing by using the "Gear" screen.
