I think they removed Grappling hooks or ziplines from BF2 maybe they thought the add on pack deserves it more.

'Spose they didn't want to blow all their load at once. Oh well, it'll be very suited in this addon, gonna be all stealthy like :dopey:
 
Yeah they're classic FPS controls, except with a few other keys like lie down etc. You'll pick it up in no time. Gonna go and buy the game tomoz hopefully :) Been playing the demo so far, it's wearing out a little!
 
Hmm, maybe the $50 I have for Destroy All Humans, Enthusia, or Juiced should go to this.

I thought this wouldn't be out till later this year.

The last I heard (1 week ago) there was roughly 400,000 people registered.
Wow.

I'm a little skeptical about the game.
Can someone care to elaborate on things like the positions and maps? :)
 
Just a FYI, the new v1.02 patch is out. The patch that was just released not too long ago had a memory leak issue. I have only played one 1.02 game but everything was A-ok.

If you are skeptical download the demo. :)
 
Does anyone have a link to a download that ACTUALLY downloads?

Download.com's sucks as it shuts the download down at 10%. 👎

I found a funny/lame way to rack up kills today while playing on Gulf of Oman as a MEC soldier. Basically make your way to the US ship and camp until a Black Hawk chopper spawns. When it does, hop in it and toggle between the two mini guns using F2 - F3, and tear up everything that moves. Obviously make sure nobody is in the AA gun before you run out to the chopper, and make sure you destroy the AA gun every time it repairs itself.

A little more advanced tactic is to get a squad together and use the Black Hawk to take flags aka Lame Hawk. There is a feature in the game that allows you to spawn in/at your leaders location. So all you have to do when you die is spawn on your leader and you come back to life in the black hawk. The pilot position is the safest, so the best pilot in the group should be the leader. Also try to have a couple Engineers to fix the damage you will sustain, a Medic, and a Support guy so you can throw an infinite ammount of grenades. hahahaha

The defense to the first tactic is simple, yet most people for whatever reason can't figure it out.

1. use a sniper rifle and kill the person/people
2. artillery the person/people
3. if there is a pilot on your team and he is fortunate enough to already be in the air, have him drop bombs on the black hawk

Again, it's lame but so is the ranking system that pushes you to do these types of things to get points. It's not lame however if the enemy team is lame. :)
 
Mclaren, I just d/l the demo from gamershell.com and it was very fast 👍. Anyone playing online?
 
Who will be watching Grain Of Sand first part of the series once its out.
 
Press z to lie down, it's in the manual and in the controls menu! :p ;)

Got BF2 just two days ago, struggled to open up all the damn ports on my router to get it working online, but after about 5 crashes, it all worked. Hurrah!

Played 3 v. intense battles now online. Freaking love Top Gun style dogfights over mountain ranges, with the constant ringing of missle lock echoing throughout my room, sending the jet through quite physically improbable spins and rotations to avoid the barrage of machine gun fire and missles. Did quite a nice victory flight upside down through a friendly base with the cockpit just scraping the floor, after winning quite a heated fight with an F15.

Seriously, i laugh a lot whilst flying around in this game and i do like flying through small gaps... sideways. There's just so much amusing stuff that happens during dog fights. So if you ever see someone with the sn <hr>donbenni flying near you, then run, or fly, away. Fast.

Decided that i quite like being a sniper every now and then too. After 20 mins of intense combat, the thought of setting up shop in a nice spinney ontop of a hill just outside a flag and doing a vast amount of enemy spotting and shooting. Gotta love the anti infantry mines too. Great for covering all the obvious roots to your hidey hole.

10/10. Seriously, can't find anything i dislike yet. It's been 100% fun. Even the players are generally quite nice and good and like to work as teams. So, it's all good.

Let's get a GTP game set up as iceman says.

p.s. Iceman: You can be my wingman anytime :D
 
I was with Iceman a few minutes ago, but I guess he left. I only have the demo. :ouch:, but its great fun. Have to find the right servers to find teams.

PFDgaming has some great teams.
I only wish a snow level was in the full game, but after I get it, can't wait to try out the cities!

The transport chopper can be so much fun.
This game definately has everything CS couldn't provide.
 
Sorry Mclaren, the server forced me onto the terrorists side for some reason, and I went to another server :guilty:

Donbenni, can you play in a demo server?
 
donbenni
Yeah just wait for that expansion and hopefully it will be CS but with big brass bells on 👍
Yeah, I can't wait for the Special Forces.
BTW, my cousin actually has the game! :drool: Won't let me play, but if this is him, he's one d*mn good pilot. Found it on his comp.
Topgun Dog Fight
 
I havn't got a clue when flying the planes or helicopters. I get them in the air but I can never keep them steady and I always crash.

Yeah, its a little hard with jets. However. successfully got my troops in with the Transport chopper, blew up the artillary and that, and got them back to the Carrier. Good mission which got us the win.
 
I need a little help. I downloaded the demo the other day, but i can't get it to work :(. When I try and start the game, the screen goes blank (looks like it's loading) and then returns to the desktop after a few seconds.

Can anyone help? I have tried reinstalling.
