My gawd, this game is so addicting! I just played for a little over 2 hours and didn't realize it. Now that I've ranked up to Lance Corporal (and half way to Seargant ;)) and unlocked the G36C, I don't care which team I'm on now. :D Whichever team, it's Special Forces for me. Since I unlocked the G36C, I've seen my average game score go up from about 15-20 to around 35-45. :dopey:

My new favorite maps are Sharqi and Dalian Oil Plant. :D

What are everyones favorite maps?
 
I'd like to share a funny BF2 story about the most clueless squad I've ever seen.

I was playing on Karkand64 over the weekend. I was on the USMC team and we had pushed MEC across the river, where they still held their 4 CPs. A raging firefight was breaking out across the water as most of both teams were trying to breakthrough to the other side.

I usually play Assault or Medic. But for the river battle, I switch over to Sniper and start putting rounds downrange at the MEC defenders peering over the walls.

Things were going swell; I scored a couple of headshots and picked up several kill assists. I had a good position near the shallow crossing laying prone on the ground, using the train wheels as cover.

The enemy was getting pounded by our guys and most of my team started advancing across the bridge. I decided to stay put for a while and pick off any stragglers.

Suddenly, I heard boots crunching and saw a MEC soldier lay prone just a few meters from me. He was facing our Bridge Crossing CP and didn't see me laying there.

I looked down at my M24 and saw I only had 1 round in the chamber. I made a quick decision to pull my pistol and emptied the whole clip into the poor sucker.

After giving him to the opportunity to die for his country, I sprinted away to find a new hiding spot, in case his buddies come along and n00b-tubed me into oblivion.

I ran past our CP and layed prone on the north side of the intersection, right across the fence from where the HUMVEE/Vodnick spawns. Again, I layed under the train and faced south so I could cover the train-side approach to our CP. I noticed we had lost the Square CP, which explains where this guy had come from.

After about 20-30 seconds, nothing appears down the street, so I move around a little closer to the water.

About 10 seconds later, I see an enemy sniper sprint-swim across the river crossing. I take a shot at him --BUT I MISS! Damn. I move back a little in case he saw me take the pot shot.

I stayed put and sure enough the chucklehead appears from behind a train and goes prone, looking in my direction. I see him aiming my way, but it was too late because my crosshairs were already on him.

CRACK!

The sniper flips over on his back and gets and eyefull of sky. But while I'm chuckling to myself, a MEC medic dashes out from behind the train and hits the unlucky SOB with the paddles. *Buzz!* COUGH COUGH.

CRACK!

Down he goes again and this time, instead of costing his team another ticket, the medic dashes for cover along the train. I promptly reload my M24 and walk in his direction, on the opposite side of the train.

I duck under the train and find the medic prone facing the sniper I just killed. I guess he figured I'd be an idiot and just stand over my kill so he could whack me. So here I am laying under the train, lining up my M24 for the headshot while the medic stares perpendicular to my LOS.

Suddenly, I'm staring at some MEC guy's butt. A squad mate just spawned on the medic!

So I pull out my knife, crawl over to him and stab the guy right in the legs... maybe right in the groin. :lol:

The medic STILL has no clue I'm there. I close the distance and ---another squad mate spawns on him! Amazingly, he doesn't notice me either!

I can't believe my luck as I stab the witless medic squadleader in his left shoulder, then crawl over to his equally clueless squad member and do the same thing to him!

3 knife kills in a row. A personal best :lol:

Have any good BF2 stories to share? Let's hear 'em. :)

City maps are the bestest now. Can kick arse with the AT kit (DAO :D).

Still can't get over how good the G36 is at range. You can fire 3 or 4 shots at a distant target and epect them all to hit. It has practically no deviation whatsoever!

On a slightly different note, the G3 is a bit dissapointing really, i was expecting it to kick arse, but it's so darn inacurrate that i get frustrated quickly. How's everone else feel about it?
 
:lol: That's hilarious, ///M-Spec!

I havn't unlocked any other weapon yet, db so I'm afraid I can't comment on the G3. :p

Does anyone have a list of the ranks and the points needed to achieve them and what ranks give you weapon upgrades?

The G3 is a very good gun at medium range, in single shot mode. In short range, it's great in full auto. In both these cases, you can drop someone damn quick with a 3-4 G3 hits. At long range, it's almost hopeless unless you're shooting at someone who doesn't see you.

I like and use the G3 only in certain areas of certain maps. I not only switch classes to suit the situation, but I switch between default and unlock to suit the situation as well.

For example, I think the G3 is very good on the south side of Karkand, when assaulting or defending the Hotel or Square. But I will switch to the M-16 or AK-101 when assualting or defending the Suburbs, because the typical ranges are greater. It's also good for fighting on the US side of town on Mushtuur. But

But on something like Clean Sweep, I will always pick the M-16 or AK-101 because you spend so much time shooting at people on top of hills. Or shooting people from the top of a hill.

I almost never use the G3 on vehicle oriented maps, since I prefer the have the noob-tube around for killing buggies and HUMVEEs.

Boo! The M16A2 is a horrible weapon. If you take off the A2 on it it's a decent weapon.
 
DQuaN
noob tube = Rocket Launcher?

The rocket launger is the Eryx or the SRAW. The noob toob, which M-Spec likes ( :yuck: ) Is the A2 code on the M16 for... Grenade Launcher.

Negative. The M16A2 is simply a revision of the M16A1, itself a revision of the original M16 of the '60s. The A2 revision introduced the "three-round" burst automatic mode, adapting the rifle to shoot NATO rounds, along with several other small upgrades.

The noob-tube is the M203, the attached grenade launcher. A lot of people hate it, but it's no less noobish than taking out someone with a Main Gun round from an MBT or 25mm cannon round from an APC. I use it because people use it on me. I've gotten pretty decent at taking out people at medium range.

Grenade Launcher. Requires no skill to kill with it, so it's for n00bs :yuck:

People make the same complaints about tanking. Or bombing with a jet. Or shooting the minigun on the BlackHawk. How much skill does it require to shoot infantry with the 25mm cannon in an APC?

Be realistic, people. The M203 is in the game. People will use it on you. Why not return the favour? Plus, it gives Assault players a way to deal with light vehicles, like a Vodnik. Buggies are one shot kills. Hoorah.

If you got the skill you can get away from Grenades from the grenade launchers. Or even kill the person as shoot as he shoots with a grenade launcher, while jumping or running out of the way.

I will not stoop to their level ;)

Yeah ok it's not the only thing but those other things you mentioned are vehicles, they aren't infantry weapons. I don't run into battle against a tank expecting to come out on top, but i do expect to put up a good fight against infantry. The M203 just bugs me when people kill me with it as i don't see the person, i don't hear the shot, or the explosion, i just die. It's one shot kill, it's got a blast radius and you know the biggest problem of all: i don't know how to use it.
 
donbenni hope we can still play against each other some day. You just tell me the server you mostly go on, and i add it to my favs list.

And how often do you think this happens? Most of the complaints about the noob-tube is there is there's no opportunity for evasion. It's just: bang. You're dead. Usually you don't even see the guy. (see donbenni's post)

IMO, you don't dodge M203 rounds. The other guy is simply a bad shot and misses.

A sniper rifle is a one shot kill if you're hit in the head. (it happens to me quite a lot these days) That is an infantry weapon. You usually don't see the sniper. And your first clue you've been fired on is when you're laying on the ground, getting an eyefull of sky. :)

Yes, it sucks when you're hiding in a good spot and suddenly, out of nowhere you just die. But that's happened to me from (hand-thrown) grenades, sniper fire, carbine fire (G36C) and even SRAW/Ernx rounds.

You don't know how to use the noob-tube? Dude... it requires no skill at all ;)

I will say this, though: I'd like to see a minimum range on the grenade launcher. 10 meters or something should do it.

Has anyone found how to get use to the M95. Its annoying i get people lined up in sights and they do not get hit.

Yeah i thought you'd bring up the sniper rifle! Well. Yes and no. To an extent i agree, but really a sniple rifle requires more skill than a grenade launcher. I don't sit around much whilst playing BF2, so if i get sniped i don't mind as the sniper obviously played a good shot. It's a bit different with the n00b t00b.

Also i have no objections to snipers as they're so easy to kill. I've lost count of the number of times i've heard a sniper shot, checked the map, realised that there are no team mates around, so track the sound of the shot to find a sniper lying happily on the floor completely engrosed in his scope that he doesn't see/hear me creeping up on him with my knife prepped for action. Where were his claymores? So many snipers only use the claymores at the top of ladders, never at any other times, it's confusing. You can block doorways, pathways in the trees, all sorts. Claymores rock.

I apologise, i digressed a little in this post :p

Sorry, i'm not the gunner guru. :crazy:

Either way A1 or A2 it still has a grenade launcher and it's cheap.

You have to lie prone and zoom in, otherwise you're not going to hit anything.
 
donbenni want to test some tactics out some day when we meet, hopfully next week online.
