Ok, i will try to make this short.
In battlefield, team play is a must to win the game. Vehicles takes a good part in certain fights. I can't understand why people run for vehicles and then just drive away, while other players can get inside and go as a team.
Exemple, the game starts, everyone running for a jeep, some dude take one and drive away, right in front of me, even if i spam the "i need a ride" emote!! We could have been 3 in that jeep.
PPL should stop thinking about how fast they will reach the top of the score list and focus more on that teamplay, that makes the game so much fun.
My 2 cents.

I always wait a second for if anyone wants to tag along in the ride. Even after I drive for like 2 sec I take a short stop and look behind me to see if someone is running without a jeep.
What I would like for people to do, is to blow up the jeeps after they've used them. Cause if you just leave them somewhere, it stays there and no jeeps will spawn at your base and you'll be running instead. A recycling process.
Man, I HATE that.
I think you should get points for somebody getting in your jeep, to encourage that sort of thing. Maybe give the jeep a bonus if the seats are full: more health, faster, etc.

Oooo, I love that. I've already scored some fine triple kills on full jeeps with my tank and bazooka. Bring it on, man, bring it on.

I always blow up jeeps (and wounded tanks) when abandoning them.
However, I find it amusing to go to the enemies base on SS, and drive their jeeps to somewhere secluded (like off a cliff, behind a mountain, etc)
Because I'm evil
i hate those idiots... but in vv when they capture the flag, some of them go out of the jeep and i get in and pick the others up and drive away... i hate them really..

You really do that? Gawd, that is so .. evil!..

One of the reasons I can't wait for voice chat is so I can yell "HEY, YOU IN THE JEEP! YEAH YOU! GET THE HELL BACK HERE!"
okay, i bought the fast shotgun, because i dont use bb any more.. its great if you dont use bb!
oops, false thread
i love going to vic vill , piling 3 guys in my jeep on nats, caping 3 flags, then absolutely dominating xD
The more people in your vehicle the faster you capture points a la BFVietnam helicopter hopping.
Some people just don't wait

Makes me wish you could still blasting strike team mates.
Maybe this could be solved by making jeeps immobile for 3 - 5 seconds if only one person gets in?

i always to that, tanks too, well, not the enemy ones, those get dropped off a cliff XD
@MrCynical
and if your in the middle of a fight and are runing frome a speeding tank, you try to get away in a jeep but is forcet to sit there whyl he blows your head sky high
It'd be great if, with one driver, the jeep/tank was slow, with not much armor.
With 1 other passenger, it could be faster with more armor.
With 2 passengers it could be the fastest and with the most armor!!
Also, with the tank, and even jeep, there could be fixed machine-guns for the 2nd passenger.
This would make people wait for a second passenger a bit more.
When getting into a plane I always use F to look behind me in case there's someone trying to get onto the plane. Sometimes, they're just trying to TNT me. LOL.
But seriously, sometimes I shoot the machine guns before taking off, so that someone in the base will hear the shots, and look around, and possibly get into my plane.
Also, with a passenger, I often fly over the village and enemy base, so that if they want, they can bail out and try to capture the base.
That's called thinking of others around you!!
Best,
Shiv

I always blow up my jeep or plane when I find a new one.
Also, I wait atleast 10 seconds and spamming the "Wave" emoter before I takeoff.
i wait till 4 or 5 people are on the jeep

sitting on it an ducking
then we take off

Srsly, a M1919 in the back of the jeep would be great. But the armor idea would make jeeps OP. Also, the back slot should have a FULL firing arc, not 90 degs. in front.
Lastly, I'm all for the re-inclusion of BF1942 physics, where people can ride on the back of tanks and jeeps (without getting in). Imagine the CS

stacking vids on a moving jeep.

Partly this is because you can't communicate. Some people take a jeep to get to the rear base where they take the plane. If others jump in with the notion that they are going to cap a flag, they will be disappointed and end up in an empty rear base. Same with other destinations. I've had commando's swearing at me because I didn't dump them at the right sniping spot in my jeep.
Still, I do take others with me whenever I can.
This has always been a thing in Battlefield. In the past, though, you'd be playing on a server with an admin or a votekick system, have voice chat so you can easily scream WAIT HOLD ON, etc.
None of these are in Heroes, so this probably will end up being a major problem. An interesting fix, I think, would be to keep vehicles stationary for 15 seconds at the start of each round. You can get in them/change seat, but you can't go for those 15 seconds (it would also make the scramble-for-flags stage more interesting, I think, because on Buccaneer Bay/Seaside you're screwed over if you don't get a vehicle at the start of the round and have to walk).
