Introduction

The mission system revamp has is designed to give individuals daily tasks and to encourage them to experience different roles on the battlefield, showing them the depth that PS2 offers.

However I feel that there is an important part missing from the system, which is a hard consequence to other players for some of the missions. Some missions have obvious consequences; setting up front line spawns will be beneficial to all, yet others are purely personal like that of Message Courier, where the only people who benefit bar the individual is those enemy vehicles that may be out in the field and looking for targets.

The mission pool available in this PTS update consists of the following:

Mission

Task

Existing consequence

Proposed consequence
