Has anyone read it?
It's [url=http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=prima_02]here[/url].

First funny thing:
[url=http://images.ea.com/eagames/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/common/prima_image_01.jpg]Bug in the screenshot[/url].

Second funny thing:
It encourages sitting in the BH and repairing it. That's right; EA suggests server owners disallow this, but it has a guide on its site that advocates doing it!

Guide on EA's site wrote:

If its two mini-guns are manned, the Marine HH-60H Seahawk transport helicopter is a devastating ground attack weapons platform. Unlike its Chinese and MEC counterparts, the rapid firing mini-guns make it possible to mow down infantry (and light vehicles) with ease. The guns should be manned by engineers. This way if the chopper is damaged, they can switch to a passenger position and conduct repairs with their wrench while the helicopter is still airborne.
BTW, EA didn't write this guide, but they're all but endorsing it.

That guide is outdated if it claims the miniguns are worth anything anymore. The door guns on the Chinese and MEC counterparts are more effective, now.

And it isn't complete for a proper squad's pad chopper:

1. Pilot to be a medic and squad leader.
2. One gunner to be supply. One gunner to be engineer (for emergency repairs).
3. One passenger dedicated to dropping infinite mines, and wrenching when necessary.
4. The other passanger to be specops, for C4 bombing runs vs armor and assets. To kill enemy infantry directly beneath with said bombs.

I guess the "bug" he is referring to is the part where it says " [Teamkills] -=ODST=-MadCat360 "

What is that anyway?

really didn't have a problem with the BH ever, and i didn't BH whore.. just was rational enough to realize each army (way back in the golden days) had it's different vehicle strengths... was only a problem at mashtuur where they should have been more AA.. and yeah, back in the golden days AA was powerful (not as much as now) and forum newbies world-wide whined and neutered it, those same newbies whined to make it over powered.. wheeee

If you like playing as a team, always play on a ranked server. These servers accumulate stats and are likely to attract players who are serious about winning. Now that points are awarded for healing, re-supplying, and repairing, players are more willing to give their teammates a helping hand, making the gameplay experience much more enjoyable.

Makes you wish that stats were never implemented, huh.
