Battlefield 2

[Blackbird.]

Ah I got it. Like the UAV but you move around and whatever you're above it shows the radar and you can move around with it? That sounds good. But i'd be at like altitude 400 or 500. AA would have fun, especially with EA saying that AA has more of a chance of hitting you and you have less armor. I thought they were shooting me down just fine already.

 

[Vasco]

Haha, the recon heli is so mine when the expansion comes out. It looks awesome! Blah, 12 hours of Support to go.

 

[Pebb]

Radar?

It has to be because the rader on an apache in real life looks like that.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

The Longbow has a radar on top of the main rotor.

 

[Pebb]

Just thought a reason why I get graphics lag. I know some people may not agree with this, but most times my ram is cheap ram.

Which is not designed mainly for gaming, plus when BF2 is a memory hungry game it does not help me memory out.

But everything else is fine, expect for the motherboard bios needs updating, I will however be glad when i get some gaming ram.

Bagged the veteran support badge.

Nice one Ro Ja, I must say a lot of people always want to kill the people playing as support.

I swear Viper, everytime I get in an Aus server I get reeeal bad luck. I crashed into a friendly jet twice while banking left or right not head on or anything at the carrier/airstrip and got blamed for both of them, and just alot of people LOVE to get infront of my guns barrel while it's firing.

Got 2GB DDR3200 CAS2 ram shipped out for my PC. Look out for my PC to have its settings turned up in BF2.

Ok I'll have my eyes peeled...EXCEPT THE INTERNET IS NOT REAL SO HOW DO I KNOW YOU EXIST?

I think I have like 5 hours to veteran support. Bleh!

 

[Pebb]

I am real, because i am posting on something you cannot walk the walk on. Ok back on topic I will not be able to play next weekend now Donbenni.

 

[Gen.]

Walk the walk! Talk the talk! Type the type! And so on.

 

[Pebb]

You know in the next patch, you be able to make the grenades from the n00b tube bounce. Also you cannot jump, and shoot at the same time in the next patch.

 

[donbenni]

We'll see if these changes actually aid the gameplay. I bet people will start getting annoyed with the not being able to shoot and jump combo.

 

[Pebb]

I hated when people did that, i reckon it is classed as a way of cheating if you think about it. Since it gives some people more of chance of killing the other people.

 

[DQuaN]

That sounds like a good idea. I hate it when people jump and shoot.

 

[donbenni]

Well, look, you can abuse anything in this world to a point of 'cheating'. Jumping while shooting is not cheating. Bunny hopping is annoying and i usually pass comment when someone kills me because of it. n00b t00bing is still my biggest annoyance, they need to sort that out i.e. grenades only explode on impact when striking a vehicle etc.

I think everyone will get annoyed if they introduced the no shooting while jumping rule. You'll just start noticing it popping up everynow and then in battle and people will start blaming dying on it. It's just going to create another new issue.

 

[Vasco]

It's not cheating, it's an exploit. Trust me TVR...play 1.6 for a while and you'll know what cheating is. Thank god BF2 doesn't have any hackers, i probably wouldn't play it if it did. Frustrating enough getting naded all the time!

Donbenni, I agree with the vehicle thing however I can't see a viable way to code it to explode on vehicles and not the ground. The things they need to get rid of is bunny hopping and prone spamming.

 

[Gen.]

I prone ALL the time.

 

[donbenni]

Yeah me too. If i encounter an enemy i 'get down on the floooor!' [/scott mills]

Oh and don't forget to shout at the privates and private first class players. Like when they go get down private, also my ram has just arrived.

May install it in the morning Don.

 

[donbenni]

Ok, thanks for the warning.

A preview of the 1.2 patch by some European site:

The Patch in general.

The Patch have a solid feeling with alot of new gamechanges but also a few bugs that we hope is going to be fixed before they release it ( thats why we are testing it so ). The patch with my words: The game will be more realistic, more rigid and more balanced.
Here comes a list with those thing we noticed that is changed in patch 1.2. BUT remember that this is an alphabuild and may be subject of changes.
Official patch-info where "all" changes can be found here.

The list with the noticed changes.

*You can NOT jump and fire at the same time. The weapon is lowered when you jump in the same way when you sprint. It has nothing to do with being in the air or not, you CAN fire when parachute.

*You can NOT throw C4 when jumping. You can jump and throw grenades but you can not throw medic or ammopacks.

*The grenadelauncher have been significant worse. You can not jump and fire with it and the splash have been weakend. The grenades now bounces on walls but it does explode at a direct hit.

*The last thing we will see now on the servers is c4-players ( players running around and only use c4s.) You can not throw c4 very far and you can not explode the c4 as fast as before. When the c4 is on the ground you can quickly trigger it by pressing right and then left mousebutton. This is a strong weakening for the Spec Ops class.

*Supportclass¡¦s MG and all Sniperrifles spread less.

*You can run and reload.

*AA is much more efficient against helicopter. 2 IGLA for one attack-heli. Heli-pilots will find it much harder staying alive and have to learn to evade using flares and take out AA¡¦s fast. AA¡¦ still hit friendly planes.

*Vehicles take less damage from obstacles.

*Mines can be picked up by Engineers, C4 by Spec Ops and claymores by Snipers. You can not pick up a claymore from the front. You can also disarm enemy mines/claymores.

*Ladder-bug is fixed.

*UAV is now a flying airplane that circels the area. All weapons can harm the UAV but most efficient is the Jeep MG that only took about 5 seconds to kill the UAV. The COMM will have to learn to place the UAV right so it cant be fired at to easy. AT probably will be able to kill the UAV with a lot of practising.

*Dolphing-diving is fixed with a new way to go to prone that takes longer time as showed in our movie. This will make it easier for APC & Tanks to kill inf.

Well. Good news on the G-launcher anyway.

 

[F1GTR]

They better improve th G3...

 

[Blackbird.]

Not to thrilled about the attack helos being even more prone when it's easy enough to take them down now. Well I guess I can look on the bright side, less people will want to fly them now that they are more prone to getting shot down. Hope this doesn't include jets because their machine guns are enough annoyance.

Happy on the support class, I've gotten away from the AT and do support more often now, even so I still HAVE to use the G36E because I keep getting killed by G36Cs and G36Es alike.

 

[DQuaN]

What is dolphin diving?

 

[F1GTR]

*Mines can be picked up by Engineers, C4 by Spec Ops and claymores by Snipers. You can not pick up a claymore from the front. You can also disarm enemy mines/claymores.

I'll be picking up (enemy)C4/Claymores and putting them in enemy bases!

Dolphin diving is when you jump and hit prone while in the air.

 

[Blackbird.]

What is dolphin diving?

Run forward, jump, then while in air go prone. Makes it real hard to aim at a guy while he's doing it and if he's good at aiming then he can get constant fire on you.

I'll be picking up (enemy)C4/Claymores and putting them in enemy bases!

I'm almost 100% sure they mean just pick it up and that's it, you can't use it. Just like when engineers repair enemy mines now, they just go away.

 

[DQuaN]

Oh, I hate it when people do that. They normally seem to kill me in half a second flat too.

 

[Blackbird.]

Yeah, so I do it too. Hey it's either kill or be killed right? But one thing I won't stoop down too is noob toobing. Especially bunnyhopping ontop of noob toobing.

I felt bad a few days ago I was flying the F15 with another guy as a gunner and he started to fly and an SU34 was locked on and he didn't evade at all and he just machine gunned us down instead of missles since he wasn't doing squat to evade so I said the usual wtf are you doing and he said sorry i'm new so I felt bad and joined his squad and helped him learn.
