Bounty Hunter card should increase your CREDITS
I just got to thinking, the Bounty Hunter card should give you increased CREDITS per game, not a BP increase.
People are already complaining about the Officer's BP gain, and I bet nearly all the Officers they're complaining about had Bounty Hunter equipped. Most of the Officers on the field aren't playing the class because they like it, they play it because with Bounty Hunter it's the best meta for spamming heroes as fast as possible.
(Helpful hint for hero-lovers: in HvV, you can spawn as a hero IMMEDIATELY! No annoying wait or having to play a lowly Trooper!)
Anyway, this just occurred to me. It'd be awesome. I'd even consider using the Bounty Hunter card if they changed it like this...

But HvV is a trash mode on so many levels. I suppose if you play with a clan it could be fun to dominate each round you play, but as a solo player.... it's not playable. It's absolutely awful. The list of reasons why go on and on, and I'm sure you can read a full description in countless other threads.
There is something special about leading the charge in GA as a hero and inspiring your team to victory. It's fun. Rewarding. Entertaining. And gives you a lot of replayability in the mode.
But sure, give me more credits for Bounty Hunter and I'll probably use it with every class unless I'm against a tough team where I need every advantage possible.
Thank you. I think it'd be a great change.
Also, I love how you assume that when people want to play as a Hero, that they should play HvV because you spawn in as a Hero. No, people want to play Hero in GA so they can slaughter infantry. But I know your posts, and I know you hate Heroes, so I dont expect you to understand.
This. ^
Especially since credits are earned to easily now.

Man you really hate heroes. This is like your 20th thread about how to nerf them
That is a cool idea, giving you increased credits and xp not BP. Good call, it probably won't happen but great idea.
To the infantry, my friend, they will ALWAYS be the problem focus.
Saved my breath.
So change it to 15% at Epic. Or 10% or whatever works.
Fair point. But there are lots of ways to figure that out. Off the top of my head, there's A.) It only works if you have it equipped the whole game, or B.) it pro-rated to the nearest 1/4 of the game that you had it equipped, rounding down. So you use it for a little less than half the game, you get a quarter of the benefit. A little more than half, and you get half the benefit. Etc. Etc.
I know. To think that people who prefer heroes should play Hero Modes. Ridiculous, isn't it? What could I have been thinking?
That's like saying people only join the UFC because they want to beat up toddlers. But sadly, for all to many hero-focused players (but not all!), I fear you're right. They play the game to play heroes, and they play heroes so they can feel big and strong in uneven matches.
I don't hate heroes. I'm sick of them, after a year of the game catering to heroes and coddling them while everything else dies off. And I'm tired of them crowding in and steamrolling the only large objective mode we have. But I actually like heroes, generally speaking.
So does this mean you are not in favor of a permanent Hero's Unleashed Mode?
In HvH I'cant exterminate rebels with Vader xD
Good idea!
Battlefront is supposed to be infantry focused, not making us play as infantry so hero players have people to kill.

Yeah right. I only bought this game to play as Obi wan and grevious even through it took a year for them to release. This game is more hero forcuse then infantry. It’s a battlefront so a battlefront wouldn’t be a battlefront without the general(jedis ect..)
I had an idea a while back for some changes to Officer, but one was just for all classes, and that was changing the effect of Bounty Hunter. Now, personally I don't like that it ever existed in the first place, just a passive boost to all your BP earnings, but if it's going to stay I would say make it give bonus score on kills and assists - maybe boost it by a maximum of 50% (that's probably too high, maybe 30% at Epic level). Alternatively just replace it with a new card - maybe one that increases your base sprint speed (Escape Artist?), increases the effective range of your weapon by X% (Steady Hands?), or something else. I just think it should be something other than a straight boost to all BP you earn, is all.

Not to mention that some hero challenges can only be done in GA.

Agreed. As far as I'm concerned, they could just get rid of Bounty Hunter altogether, as all the classes could use new cards, especially Specialist.
But there's a bug that lets you move like normal with Explosive Sentry active. It's so strange. The guy's legs slink out like he's the Grinch walkin' 'round.

I don't think this is a good idea, OP. First of all, if this is mainly about reducing Hero usages in GA, then this is not the right way to do it (there are other ways, like reducing the limits of 2 Heroes including the final phases). BP are not just to be spent on Heroes, they can also be spent on vehicles and Special Units. It's also important to note that, when there will be a time in the future that BF2 will no longer receive any new contents for players to unlock (like skins and Heroes), some players (particularly the completionists) who bought absolutely everything with their credits will no longer have any reason to earn even more, making this -1 useful Star Card to them unless the Bounty Hunter card is still about increase BP as it can always be continually useful at anytime (though most players are probably not gonna reach to the point in that they bought absolutely everything anyway, but still).
I also don't know if it can be considered practical to introduce a Star Cards to get more outcomes that only works outside of a match, rather than during the match like every other Star cards normally do (in this case to earn more credits, rather than to earn more BP or Scores...which of course are somethings that you can't take them with you outside of a match). But if this would've be ok, then it would've made more sense to simply introduce this as a new Star Card and coexist with the others, rather than completely change the Bounty Hunter card's function.
As for the Officer's BP gain, I definitely agree with you in that they earn such crazy amounts, but, while being equipped with Bounty Hunter Star Cards may help it earn even more, this is just one of the four regular classes you have only mentioned. In other words, this is not relevant enough to considered changing the Bounty Hunter's function just because of one of the four classes has crazy-good BP gain while the other three are not fairly earning just as much, unless you are trying to suggest in changing the Bounty Hunter's function that only belongs to the Officers. But even if the Bounty Hunter wouldn't exist in BF2 in the first place, it doesn't change the fact that Officers will still keep earning more BP than the others, so the only solution to this is simply nerf their BP gain.
Yeah, because people aren't still complaining about microtransactions literally just because of the word and not what it now means.
