Hold position order

it is very important to advance you squad whit a good LMG covering your ass, but something is wrong.

the K individual move order open alot of doors, some are Hardcoded others are simple. if i position my LMG trooper in the back, then swith to a assualter (for exemple), the LMG trooper will start to folow me.

AND, will not provide cover.

Hold position order can be usefull for snipers has well, i can always swith he to be the eyes of me team, has long he is well positioned.

how this will work in matter o buttons? well there is two ways, AND is important to implement both of then.

the frist one is to you manual place you soldier in the position, press Alt, then Hold position order. just like the folow me order. a blue circle will apear udder the soldier you are controling and he will hold position no matter what soldier you select after it, not folowing you and losing the position.

this is very usefull in many situations, the second way to do so. is be pressing K then press a while X, the soldier will instead of a green circle will have a blue one. remenber if you press K you will not be abble to cancel orders (alerdy in game), because the pressing X will be to give hold position order. to the soldier you selected.

that,s very simple. not hardcoded at all, and will help alot.

see you guys the battlefield.

cheers.

Ok, and how would you prevent it from being abused?
I mean situations like when a player leaves his whole squad on a spawn to use them as spare lives.

Now it’s somewhat limited.

they will not come to far, since hold position order will not break the cancel orders from being away of your squad. (alerdy in game)

not true, the ideia of this feature is that if you need to cover you squad you actauly swith to the squad menber behind you squad.

be it sniper or gunner.

otherwise they will folow you and abadon the strategic position.

So just like now ? As bots still remain useless and with this addition they would be useless but would face the direction I want ?

Which is pretty much exactly what they currently do.

step 1, select the gunner,
step 2, Fire all bullets in order to supress and kill has much posible
step 3, pres alt, hold position. (he will hold position and stay there)
step 4, select a assaulter advance and trow granade.
step 5, select the gunner that have reloaded the LMG and fire again.

the most classic movement ever in infantry tactics. and you can do it, whit my sugestion.

  3. good good
  4. done
  5. except by this time my squad has been stabbed by knife as AI is notoriously shit. Or I have advanced over 50m which isnt exactly all that long distance and my squad has ran into artillery cause they lost mommy and chose to run thru artillery to get in my position.
