You can sometimes request ammo/whatever by targeting a teammate and hitting Q. Sometimes that works but inexplicably other times it just does nothing, it's kind of frustrating. The commo rose doesn't even seem to do anything half the time either. I say Need Backup but nothing pops up in team chat, no audio cues or anything else that hints it might even be functional. It's like the UI for it is present but everything else is missing. Having it on the spot key is problematic for obvious reasons as well.
The maps aren't as large as some of the BF2 ones but they feel like the right size instead of having a ton of dead space that really has no strategic purpose. I never really feel penned in unless that's the design intent of the map author like Tehran or Metro.
Yeah I've seen that UI hint to request show up but it never worked for me. Neither has anyone else requested from me.
To be honest, the maps feel like 32 player maps, not 64. But even 2142 had that. I say that because the 64 player matches feel chaotic and crowded. Usually it works anyway, but sometimes it fails, especially with the spawning behind enemy lines issue. If DICE can develop+release some mapping tools so that we can have proper, huge, Project Reality sized maps that would be epic.
Perpetual debt is slavery.
