As title says, keen to discuss any ideas for features or gameplay enhancements that could make HD2 even better!

Mine are:

  1. A startegem that allows you to view the battlefield top down from space to aim/zoom and fire/manoeuvre projectile(s).

  2. Text chat and game stats available on the un-skippable post game wrap up screens.

  3. Armour with a self-destruction feature, with visible countdown limited uses. Watch out for friendlies!

      And ship audio! So many times I come out of the equipment menu to find a full squad has joined and I didn’t even know.

    I had a daydream about there being a companion app on my phone where I could see my friends were playing and I could send them little assists like dropping ammo or a little autonomous drone or a heath booster.

    It was displayed like I was a super earth citizen sending my support donations to the front line.

    An on-ship firing range where you can test out the various weapons, improve your skills and kill time in the lobby would be a nice simple addition, I think.

    And I absolutely support the idea of being able to do text chat in more situations. Should be able to say nice things during loading screens or talk tactics. When you can and cannot chat seems inconsistent and unclear.

    Also, toggle to talk mic option. I’m surprised the developers added the rare Push To Mute option but not a Toggle To Talk.

    a 5 to 8 player mod would be nice. Our squads barely hold together without disconnecting way too much so it might be a big ask until things are more stable.

    It’d be cool if there was mission where you were clearing an objective for the main army to roll in.

    Like you go in an blow up some big arty base. Then have to defend the base from counterattack until a tank battalion rolls up

      Seriously. Anything at ALL that indicated any aspect of one’s game efforts were helping — the ever-changing (and generally arbitrary) stats on the map screen do not count. 🤦🏼‍♂️

      that kinda already happens if by army you mean a squad of 4 cadets with mortars.

    i wanna see team cooldowns on the HUD. it’s on the map but id rather see the cooldowns then their ammo.

    mostly so i can see when the next mortar is spawned so i can snipe it off the map.
