You can get close with the scenario editor now. For the human player you cannot get random locations but you can create a setup in the editor where your teams are spread out and arrive at random times. I think that would work pretty well. For the AI you can do a drop that feels even more random by creating multiple AI plans with different initial placements for the units and have them arrive as reinforcements with the random time feature.
That would work as a scenario but it would be neat to have it available in QB. Once again just basing off SP but I know these are apples and oranges.

That's a cool idea. Going back to Canadian cat's wish list i too would like to see more GFX stuff in game. I requested landed gliders and discarded chutes as flavor objects on the BFC forum.
As usual some members said the time and effort is not worth it.
I also want flames and flamethrowers and because it is MG, i felt that they should be in. once again members shot me down. Finally i want to see better urban combat and in MG that is a must so i am hoping they will tweak some bits and bobs and maybe just maybe allow zooks, fausts and schreks to be fired from within buildings.
At the moment the balance in urban fighting is with the AFV's and that cannot be right
You always get people who will try to make you look stupid if they don't feel your idea goes with what they are looking for. Instead of either ignoring the post, or adding constructively they poo-poo on it instead. There are a couple of forums like that I belong too or have posted in and in one I finally called the guy out because it seemed that is all he did was beat on peoples ideas/posts (a football forum).
