Feels like its INFO overkill. IMO.

I did not really think the load out needs many improvement past adding 1-10 for quick select.

For some reason I find myself not using the custom load outs. I usually don't change much when I am making a change, so I just change what I want and move on. I did give them a whirl back in Nov. for different camos, but found it was more trouble than it was worth. Again, not sure why I prefer to just use one layout and change it as I see fit. In PS1 I had many custom load outs.

Heck yes brotha!

Something as simple as a button for each that looked like so, where the letter is the icon for the item and the number is the quantity.

[G] 8 [M] 4 [R] 0,

Click the icon to buy more. Takes up very little space and is simple to use.

ISPY Loadout instant-access "Favorites". WOOOOOOOOOT! You should totally make a remark about that in the OP, Hamma.

I stood at an overpass exit in San Diego with a sign that said "lfg willing to farm". Matt drove by, thought it was a good troll, then offered me a job.

I lol'd for about an hour xD

When you start getting multiple attachments for multiple guns, switching them is annoying. This is mainly on my LA and Infil... since certain weapons have certain ranges... IE, Close quarters vs long distance.

For example, having the shotgun and the carbine on my LA, I use the shotty for known close quarter work, but sometimes want to switch to medium/long range for courtyard or tree sniping.

Same with the Infil and sniper rifle/scout rifle/SMG. Nice to have a few loadouts.

I wish we could choose default camos based on cont, Its always a pain to switch all my loadouts when I switch conts.

I guess it goes along with my jack of all trades/master of none playstyle. I switch classes based on what's needed... so i've spread my certs out throughout 3-4 of the classes rather than just 1-2.

I would literally catch fire if I didn't have these. It's probably less of an issue with infantry, but for vehicles, it makes a huge time difference. My air superiority and strike packages, for instance, differ in every possible loadout slot. That's a lot of clicking while your mates are getting farmed. At least for me, anyway.

I have a lot of attachments and weapons, I just don't change much. Changing weapons is a tich of a pain, due to the attachments not being remembered, but I can live with 10 seconds twice a day of inconvenience. Different mindset I suppose.

Yeah, if they just remembered the attachments it would help a lot. I always use each weapon with the same attachments.

I long for more loadouts, for my HA I have at least 9 separate loadouts I regularly use, from long range NV to short range silenced, then I have G2A, G2G, Decimator, Concussion nades, normal nades, different armor, either rockets or shield for long range or nanoweave for close in etc.

It's not bad

Neutral Calypso · 2013-02-08, 01:25 PM

Will the new loadout screen allow me to change the camo on all my loadouts simultaneously?

Some sort of "Appropriate camo" across all items in a load out would be great, but likely complicated.

Baneblade · 2013-02-08, 02:27 PM

That's easy, make loadouts continent specific.

Check box for "Apply selected camo to all slots in this loadout when I change a camo" would suffice. That way you can change the camo on any piece and it will change it on the others to match. Database wise, a simple thing to program.

MrBloodworth · 2013-02-08, 02:34 PM

Yeah, but you may not "Own" the camo for the body and gun at the same time.
