Missing Class - Reporter/Camera man

[Pootie Tang]

There needs to be a camera man/ reporter class. Have special missions for them. You get no guns. Just a microphone for one guy and a camera for the other in a 2 man squad. Call it the propaganda machine squad.

Would be awesome if everyone gets exp bonus for protecting reporter and camera man!

Just incase anyone hasn't seen the movie before playing Pootie is referring to this: https://youtu.be/f_EouNtFjlU?t=72

10/10 would play this ..half.. the time ;)

!Also disclaimer for COPIOUS amounts of ketchup in the video!

Funny yes , useful no. Last thing we need is a squads worth of camera men.

Additionally, maybe even the whole lobby gets bonus xp for completed propaganda missions. Kind of make it work like the exterminations or maybe even build in filming the reporter with the extermination in the background. Would be hard to program maybe for mission complete but the aim button to raise the microphone to the reporters mouth. Aim button would also aim the camera. Once those missions are complete then the camera guy and reporter can drop their stuff for rockets. Would require an extra level of cooperation to save rockets for the reporter crew but that would only add to the fun.

I agree!!!! Limit them to only 1 per match!

Just lock it to 1 person lmao. Add a 17th spot just for that class. When the match ends itll show a quick 15-20 second vid of a quick mock up of all the footage caught in the match.

one VIP, voted for like commander in squad

[Torv]

Yes. Bump.

Be cool to upload the footage to a film archive on say steam or you-tube so we can all see ourselves in action. Instant hit.

I want this too, if youre "on screen" via the camera man you get a damage and health buff

limit to one per game

Edit: Also make it a separate squad with just one person being allowed in it.

[Purple Sauce]

This is actually a fantastic idea. Hopefully they'll add a lot more animations and death/kill animations like you see in the movies, recording those events nets you EXP but having the little mockup at the end would be awesome

make it one of the green events in the game instead - like an escort mission - show up take them along protect them for a couple waves and then as stated above have a quick end of the round clip play from that.

It would be nice if the camera had a special effect in his vicinity. Something like a permanent scan grenade within 40 metres of current location. Maybe a small damage boost (trooper morale) within that same distance.
