EisenKreutzer, its not about being "modern" or not, its the difference between a session based shooter, and a Team based shooter with persistence.
Right now, Ps2 is shaping up to be a session based shooter in its design, with a larger amount of players, in many aspects.
Seat swapping is a trope of the throw away experience design of session based shooters, where you only have 30 minutes to "have fun". That's why no one cares if you just hoped out of a plane at 30,000 feet at mock 2 to fire your bazooka. It resets. It does not matter, because all that matters is kill counts.
Planetside aims to emulate a persistent war, not just a single battle engagement.
Any way, I surrender.

It would be better, but would not address ground units.

Most of the vehicles ate not designed with shared compartments, especially vehicles like the Lib, Gal, or tanks. I'm not talking about a mini-van here.
