Battlefield 2

[Pebb]

I know there is a graphics glitch or something which made my rank look like it went down. When in fact it did not. Also I see if I can find out what the problem is DQuaN.

 

[DQuaN]

I just had another thought. I have seen guys get into an empty Black Hawk, and the default position for the first person in there is as pilot. But then the guy moves to one of the turrets and starts shooting. How can you do this?

The Function keys F1-F10 moves you from position to position in a vehicle, when applicable.

F1=Driver
F2=Gunner 1
F3=Gunner 2

etc.

Yeah Dunc that's classic BF2 pwnage. Park up a Blackhawk close to enemy flag, switch to gunner and start mowing. Kinda glad and sad that they're making the Blackhawk's guns less powerful in the near future update just for this reason.

 

[DQuaN]

Can you do it whilest flying? hehe!!

 

[Pebb]

Just slashed my deaths from 150 deaths below my top kill stats to 115. If I can keep killing in BF2 then i have more kills then deaths.

Of course 2 gunners with miniguns at each side are deadly, even more deadly when you've got 2 engineers on board and a medic ensuring its nearly invincible. Thats supposed to 'get nerfed' though when they next patch comes out.

I wish they'd make all the choppers weaker, there all far too strong much like they were in BF : V.

Yes you can, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I never played BF:V, but I agree the choppers need some nerfing. As it stands a Blackhawk has as much armor as a Main Battle Tank. Something is wrong with that picture.

On a related patch news, they will require a chopper crew to get out of the BH before they will be counted towards a CP capture. Only the pilot will count while inside the vehicle. Apparantly, this will apply for ALL vehicles in 1.03 (or 1.1 or whatever they call it)

Throw in an anti-amour then see what happens, with them launching rockets out of the side.

On another note. My demo only has the Gulf of Oman map. Do any of you guys ever play on it?

Sorry, but demo servers run seperately from game servers.

When I first started playing I thought the Blackhawk was an absolute nightmare; especially on Mashtuur. That is, until I started to rape fully loaded bh's with the vehicle mounted .50 cal.

I love hiding in a Vodnik/Humvee just to catch a chopper trying to hover over one of our flags. Aim right above the mini-gun and drop the gunner, instantly swing over to the bay door where two unlucky fellas catch a few dozen rounds in the chest. And last but not least, open up on that fat chopper whose pilot 8 times out of 10 is oblivious as to what just happened to half his crew.

Or you can always fall back on the Tank / small AT squad.

 

[Blackbird.]

Sometimes I get so frustrated I'd wish sometimes There were 6 AT infantry and I'd order them to shoot up at the black hawk and watch it just blow in a fiery hell.

Oh and I've decided to go with the PKM

 

[Pebb]

If i ever go on a bad run of deaths i get so mad i swear at my PC. But then again when they push me right to the edge it makes me mad, and i go on a rampage at times.

 

[donbenni]

On the topic (mildly) of the next patch, i'm happy with most of the things they're suggesting. The removal of engineers healing BHs from the inside + weakening of miniguns + counting only pilot/driver in the flag capture is allll good. It's far too easy to just fill a vehicle and chip around capturing flags left right and centre. If people have to get out of the vehicle it means there's more chance of getting killed, which for flag defenderers like me is a great thing.

Also i heard that they're addressing how easy it is to get killed by moving vehicles. They're gonna knock down the damage some what so that we should now be able to stand on top of moving vehicles without dying and hopefully be able to wing-walk!

@ Blackbird: Spent all night playing as the Support trooper and it was great fun, so getting that unlock isn't a bad one imo 👍 I think i'm gonna get the G3 at 10K

 

[Blackbird.]

I found a server that had all the unlocks but no one was in it so i'll get one of my clan mates to be a puppet for me.

For a next patch instead of infinite parachutes except for the jet have ropes drop down from the BH like the real thing and slide down to the ground. That'd be awesome!.

The G3 IS a good weapon the clip could be bigger and it's sniping ability is superb, the people that say it's not don't know how to aim or they forget to put it on single fire. I just don't use it that much, I like the weapon but if I had the chance to get rid of it in exchange for another unlock I would. I'm just bored with it now.

 

[donbenni]

God this is depressing. To get to 10,500 points where the next unlock lies (and my last probably) it's gonna take me about 85 hours. If i play an hour a day then i should be done in just about 3 months, or Christmas to you. By that time i'll be bored of the game and probably playing the Special Forces expansion anyway. The unlocking system sucks. I just don't have the time to get a load of points.

Oh yeah to theoretically get my moneys worth and complete the game (250,000 points) it will take me approx 3000 hours. At the aformentioned hour a day, i might have completed the game by Christmas 2013 👍 Top stuff EA, here's a big F U from me.

What's the point of having a ranking system if the ranks are easily attained?

Just like in real life most people will not make sergeant, staff sergeant etc. If you want the rank, you have to be willing to invest the time/work it takes to get it.

Yeah, the G3 is a decent weapon. It just isn't worth an unlock. (my opinion and a fact)

 

[Giancarlo]

Isn't the new patch coming out next week?

 

[McLaren]

Gosh, I hope so. Been waiting so long.

What exactly are we getting with it?

 

[Pebb]

I,ve just edited my last reply. I,m already on 3,500 points.

 

[Blackbird.]

Well I had tons of fun in the 3 hrs. i played but gained no points. I was effing around with a guy in the unlocked weapons server. Went with the G36C I love it but gonna check other stuff out. The M95 is an inaccurate son of a gun. The DAO-12 is impressive in range. About little less then medium range you do the damage you would in about 4 feet away. The PKM is rather clumsy but i'm not sure yet. It's hard.

Yes but i'm not talking about ranks i'm talking about the unlocks. I'm thinking that they could have set the unlocks to be lower targets. The last weapon unlock is at 250,000 i believe. Only about 5% of all players will probably get there. Just seems a little stupid. I pay for a game that i'm not actually allowed to play to it's limits. The ranking system is fine, i couldn't care less what badge i have or what prefix i'm given.

 

[DQuaN]

Does anyone play on the Gulf of Oman?

I'm thinking about getting the full game. How much HD space does it take up?

 

[Pebb]

Well 2.3GB add on the patches and new maps that you can download then it will grow over time. You should really buy it in the next cople of days, your missing out on the whole of this great game.

 

[Boost Lee]

The unlock system is tied into the ranking system..

I understand what you're saying. I don't understand why it's so difficult for you and others to get points.

 

[Pebb]

Had 2 of my best games today, i post the images up by the weekend folks.

Clearly you're struggling too. I'm just saying that maybe they shouldn't have linked the ranking and unlocking systems together.

 

[Blackbird.]

Well I have school so i'm limited to Friday and Saturday to play. But in the summer if I were at say, 10,500 pints and summer started. At the end of summer i'd probably be at oh say around near 40,000 points.

 

[T5-R]

I just don't have the time unfortunately else I'd deffinately play BF2 more, currently just over half way to Corporal with about 57hours playtime in total (About 20 hours spent as AT I think!).

By the time I BF3 comes out I will probably only have 3 unlocks (if I even get that far). Which wouldn't be too bad if I hadn't unlocked a gun I don't like, still I expect I'm not alone in not being happy with an unlock.

And how many hours a day would you be spending playing BF2?
