Easy fix for custom mottos: the words are checked against a dictionary. Thus, there will be no ****ing leet-speak nonsense and they can exclude any other words they wish. At least then any suggestive remarks will have to pass a creativity test.

On a side note, I emphatically agree with Gunney on the upgrade descriptions. It's almost too obvious to mention, but it'd be one of the simplest things to fix.

For mottos, perhaps they should just create a master list that you can choose from.

Also if custom battalions and mottos are implemented, they should be viewable from the game lobby screen, or else what's the point of having them? Maybe make it a subtitle under your name or something.

No!

Choosing from a list would destroy any creativity that could be had. For example, the quote in internet translated latin on my sig(Translation: "It's the duty of the strong to protect the weak") would certainly not be on any list made by Ubi. I can understand that there would be some abuse, but leet speak is the person's prerogative, and people with explicit names, mottoes, or back story could be reported to Ubi or Microsoft.

I agree that there needs to be a way people could view it though. Maybe you could view it by selecting the gamercard like the replays or the enlistment card in Halo 3.

I haven't read through the entire thread so I apologize if I steal someone's ideas.

1. Link your gamertag to your ubi account and show your Battalion stats, units, etc.(Bad Company Style)

2. Take pictures during replays. Make them viewable online (see 1)

3. Customization
a. Custom Camo(RB6V style)
b. Name/Motto
We were originally promised this
c. Choose which units you want.
Allows some more diversity among the battalions.
Custom Callsigns
I'd be happy with anything besides Matterhorn.

In solo campaign or ToW, Lets say you fought in a rough battle, and you set of a couple of WMDs and caused alot of damage to the territory. You or someone else have to fight there again right after you or in solo, after a turn. When you come back, you still can see SOME of the damage (EX. the big black mark left by a WMD, burnt trees, destroyed buildings etc.) Let other players say "Hey, there must have been a rough battle here."

But then wouldn't everything be black after a few weeks?

Oh wow I'm surprised I didn't think of this when every single transport I have respond to the name Rhine...and their occupants all respond to the callsign Saber. >.>

Well of course after every maybe 2 matches or so it all goes away. Then starts over.

There are a few things that would make this game SO MUCH BETTER (not that it isn't already great).

#1 Have the higher ranked units have more of an effect on the overall outcome. For example I am a rank 10 and I matter just as much as a rank 2.

#2 Someone mentioned earlier about being able to see opponents rank, wins and losses, times dropped out, etc.

#3 Again someone mentioned earlier about having a chat room for each faction to talk about strategies on certain maps etc.

#4 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE! Have a give and take talent point system for each battalian like in World of Warcraft. Let me explain. I think each battalian should be able to specialize in certain things. There could be 3 teers for each unit type. Riflemen could have speed, combat, and marksman. Then you can add points to abilities under each section. The best part is you can't get every single ability cause you can only put in a certain number of points. This would allow for a complete customization for each and every unit type. The game has only been out for a week and I've already bought most of the upgrades which makes CR almost pointless. How tight would it be if you had a certain battalian specialize in speed and securing uplinks fast, so when you are in a crunch you can deploy that specific battalian to secure an uplink. Anyways I know this is VERY confusing but anyone who has ever played World of Warcraft knows exactly what I'm talking about.

all my gunships are names Adder.. it just keeps adding up....

they should add a bonus army which is available 2 download eg New Commonwealth

this may only bother me but the raid missions are so unfair. The defenders have too much of an advantage, every player i've talked to this about agrees. do one of the following to make it fair

1) give the attackers artillery (not the one i would suggest because it might give the attacker the advantage.

2) get rid of the combat drones guarding the buildings (come on the defender only has to but tanks and it becomes almost unassilable because the drones massicure the gunships. (my suggestion)

3) have the defenders start out with only 2-3 units in place of 6.

I really like GRAW2, yes but that's not the reason for my suggestions. GRAW2 had an excellent atmosphere and since EndWar is supposed to be Ghost Recon only 50 times bigger, it should make the same things right (not 1:1 but similar).

i think it would be great if y'all were to make it where we can change our battalions name and also killing the troops all the way is to easy

Have special defensive abilities just like there special attack just like WiC. For example a tank is getting pounded by gunship you retreat and the tank releases smoke screen to run away. Gunships that shoot flares(they already do but i think they don't do any difference). Transports, riflemen, engineers, CV, artillery i don't know yet but they could be all smoke screen, that would work. Also i agree with Vth but it should also be on PS3, since all of my friends who bought this game don't play it anymore.

yea i also think that y'all should make it where in order for a WMD to be called in both or all teammates should have to agree on it like both have to say WMD activate or press something to activate because i got dumb teammates who call it on one unit and then the enemy calls it on all of mine

My ideas are as follow.

1. You may insert a name for your veteran vehicles. It will not be the squads callsign but it will just be a mark that says the vehicle name. Like Call of Duty 4 with Warpig. You can just put a name on all your vehicles. They don't ever mention it but still, I would love to name my tank squad after history's greatest generals.

2. Custom battalions are nice but I have the feeling that getting them may require too much work on Ubisoft part and they might put it in on the sequel.

3. In raid prehaps of having drones you have Force Recon riflemen guarding the important structure. More realistic plus you can put them at the enterances of bases and in important chokepoint. Won't do much but they will slow the enemy down. (PS. If you are losing at Raid you should aim for the giant oil, fuel, depos. They blow up pretty easily.

Those are three I have for now but I'll add more in later.

How about when ubi makes a promis they keep it. Like when they said you can " fully customize your units" like give them their own name and motto and so on. and all the other things others mentioned in this thread.

Well all of these are cool, but the upgrades and their effects should have a Graphic effect instead of only a numerical effect. For example upgrades that involve the neutralization of incoming fire
