Ok. I was playing inf the other day and i thought it would be so cool if you could call in an airstrike. I know that ground troops can pinpoint a target for fighters to strike with a laser that they shoot on the target. So wouldnt it be cool if you shot the laser on an area and the guy sayed We need air support! and an A-10 or an F-18 dropped bombs or napalm or something. Please try to do something with this, that would really help set inf apart and would be really cool.PberCoww
A really cool suggestion

eh....
Mmmm...yeah, good idea...a 300 polygon model with its own 2mb skin that zooms overhead every 3 seconds unbalancing gameplay...Warren, write that down.

Half-Life has Air Strikes. However, thats single player so it doesn't really "unbalance" the gameplay. I have to go with Gringle here though, that is a pretty lame idea. How about "Bindkey = BLOW EVERYTHING UP AND YOU WIN AND YOU ARE THE BEST!"

Overtly Serious Chappy.
Even though UT has great out-door effect, it is in effect still a "dungeon" game. The combat infiltration appears (in my own devine opinion /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ) to be about is close quarter fighting.
That's the AT-4 was removed; as the game isn't big enough or have the right engine to include freakin' fully controlable APCs, T-84s and Abrahams, it's pointless to have a weapon such as laser guided bombs.
The exception, of course, is when you have as your mission a goal to get int a position where you can call down an airstrike on a particular target. Remember that airstrikes aren't "instantaneous", they require the above fighter-bomber to make a run, dodge SAMS and AA etc.
Therefore as an weapon against infantry it's pointless and also extreme; unless of course you're surrounded and calling down an airstike upon yourself (Forest Gump anyone?)
Speaking of Laser-guided, the Israeli army is using lasers that sweep across their installations on the Israeli-Lebanon border to confuse and distract laser guided rockets and bombs that are being fired by the guerillas on the other side.
