    The developers should implement a food system where infantry can eat food on the battlefield. This new mechanic deals with the problem of lack of teamwork in Empires.

    The food would be created by a new class: the chef class. The chef class has SMG as primary, pistol as secondary, and microwave as special. The microwave has a primary fire where it cooks a hotdog. You can then throw the hotdog at a player with secondary fire. Chefs spawn with 5 hotdogs and can get more from ammo boxes. On US servers, the microwave will generate corndogs instead of hotdogs.

    Infantry will get a new indicator on the HUD called the food bar, which will replace the stamina bar. The food bar goes down whenever the player moves, uses their weapon, or talks in chat. If the player runs out of food, he/she will die and will have to respawn or be revived. However, if the player eats too much food, the food bar will overflow and the player will collapse after 3 minutes.

    Here is an example of the new HUD with the food bar:

    Alternatives:
    • - Maybe have scout generate food so it is more useful

    Finally, a good fucking suggestion. I'll see if I can get this on the to-do list. I'd like to see some fitness aspect though, as the game progressed.

    europe INVENTED the hotdog, but its called bratwurst here, ww2 made butthurt americans change its name to hotdog and claim it as something entirely new and 100% american purely for political reasons (distancing from nazi germany after they first tried to ally with the nazis to help them with there eugenics program, but then the whole "kill the juce" crap made lobbyists cry

    how is bratwurst compairable to hotdog? firstofall, a "bratwurst" is a certain type of a sausage. a hotdog, tho you can buy them with whatever sausage here, usually has "frankfurter" (in vienna) or "wiener" (in germany) inside.
    and second, bratwurst is served with bread (also mustard, radish and/or kraut and probably some pickled vegetables), while hotdogs are served inside bread and depending on where you buy them a lot of other stuff too ...

    but since you tell americans that they have no culture of their own, im on your side :p

    also, i bet as soon as americans would find out about "käsekrainer" theyd never ever eat any other sausage again. it also has an umlaut a - oh the marketing possibilies, one of you should start import them and pay me for the idea ;)

    these are "krainer" (its only käsekrainer that are called that way here, we say klobase to the rest), its from the region around the slovenian region "krain" but also well known in austria that contians a lot of bacon and has a spicy taste. the käsekrainer though is an austrian invention of the 80s. its a pimped version containing "emmentaler" ;)

    krainer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kranjska_klobasa

    en.wikipedia.org sadly lacks an article for "käsekrainer" and a few americans already told me they have no clue about this sausages. so if you really dont know them, start an import - youll be rich, i bet ;)

    look at them ... mmmmh tasty cheese and bacon and sausage and cheese and mmmh ... :|ove:

    i think they also changed the sossage, and oriinally it was a bratwurst, not a frankfurter, although i could be wrong on the specifics

    im not a history book, im more like the tldr of history books vaguely remembering all the useless small things

    Why are you locking the thread? This is a legitimate suggestion as with the other recent suggestions on this forum.
