we ought to have the choice whether or not a boomer is attached to us.

have it strapped on the chest so it explodes forward.

surge into a base, click click boom. or a vehicle terminal during a zerg fest. or a busy ams.

I think it's a great idea, but it's too insensitive inlight of the current Israel-Palastine suicide bombers and the whole Al-Queda stuff

Too insensitive?

By that rationale we shouldn't blast each other with guns because of the Iraq war (or Columbine).

And we should remove the towers from the game because we're being respectful for 9/11. Gimme a break~

Terrorist and terrorism are words used way too loosely. It is not terrorism to sacrifce yourself to destroy a military target even if you are wearing a bomb belt.

I don't want to see suicide bombers in Planetside because I do think it would be insensitive w/ the middle-east situation.

well, since you dont die in the game, and in real life you would if you did this, its not a kamikaze suicidal al-queda method. Therefor i think its a great idea.

I myself could care less if that would be an option. I mean in the name of PC we should all bounce off each other when ramming something/someone with an aircraft out of respect for 9/11.

You know, suicide bombing isn't exactly a great military tactic. You're liable to kill more people (and accomplish more) via the skillful use of weaponry in concert with a team of coordinated individuals. It's a bad idea for the same reason you can't, for example, swallow grenades. There is just no reason to.

id rather send 2 surged infils with boomers on their chests to kill a planted pounder then sit outside on our asses watching the neat grenades bounce around

if you've fought zero defiance on markov you'd understand me

That depends, like any plan, if it's executed probably. Send one guy undercover with enough C-4 to level a block into a base, if he manages to get in and sets his bomb off i'd like to see just how ineffective it is. :D

What i'd really love to see is the ability to toss a boomer, like a nade but with much less range, just a few feet tops. That would rock. :)

The Japanese Kamakazi pilots were far from terrorists, yet they did something to a similar effect.

Just not in a game where people can infinitly respawn, I personaly feel that anyone willing to kill themself, and just themself to take out a military target is performing a valid military action, however in PS where death has no meaning it whould just kind of loose some of it's point.
