I would like to say that BF2142 is the most well-balanced game I have seen in a long while.  The only truely unstoppable force is a well-coordinated team.

Yes, mechs are easily the most powerful vehicle in the game, especially if you have your AA gunner, but one AT trooper (and once unlocks are out and people start getting det packs for their sniper kit) can take a mech out with clever strategy.

One sidenote is that I am highly amused that the first stationary gun people jump into when they see my mech stomping towards them is the AA gun.  The AA gun has no effect whatsoever on mechs.  Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I stood there taking fire from an AA gun for a half-minute while I gunned down his infantry buds before turned to him and laying a couple rockets down.  My armor didn't go down at all, except from the hit I took from an AT rocket.  So please people, for the love of god if you are trying to defend an outpost from a mech, go for the railgun turret and not the AA.

EA has removed all pride that I had for this badge, and the explosives badge.

I did things the HARD way, I shanked 18 people, in a round, and I felt like I could say I had accomplished somehting good. Now, this is gone.

EVERYONE has it, there is no skill, no dedication to these badges any more.
Fucking EA and their patches, they ruined another aspect of this game.

I must say that I think the Exp explosives badge can still be quite tricky.. unless of course you just spam clays, which I didnt I might add. C4 ambush ftw..

Explosive is still tricky, that I will grant, but changing the IAR requirement from 37 to 30 makes a ton of difference.  I went through many, many rounds of 35 kills, or 32 kills, and several with 36.

At any rate, yes people can look at the date, but seriously now.  There's a freakin userbar for expert knife!  This isn't something just any shmuck should be able to get!  In finality, amen to what Jestar said.

I am a proud owner of the shiny expert knife badge, once one of the most coveted awards in BF2, perhaps in gaming as a whole, and I got it the HARD WAY.  Yes, I got myself 100 knife kills, and then got myself 18 in one round.  And I take a break from BF2 for a while and I come back and what do I find, but that EA removed the IAR requirement for this badge.  Now, you can just chink your way up the ladder, one lucky kill at a time.

Is it just me, or are other expert knife badge holders, who got theirs before this change, pissed off and feeling cheated?

1st Sergeant and the Gold Ground Defense Badge for me.  I've been a Gunnery Sergeant for too long -_-

If the A-10 is anything like its RL counterpart, that cannon on the front will tear through tanks like butter (and will have to do a lot more damage then the Su-30 anf F15 guns), but will overheat quickly, and the plane itself will be much slower than even the f15, so as to make it more vulnerable to aa fire and other jets.  For balance they may also make the gun more innaccurate

I like Sharqi and Dalian.

This will blow your mind

Anyone unfamiliar with Half-Life 2, this is a multiplayer map that you really only play alone, but can play with others on a lan to screw around, you can spawn any item/character in the game in ragdoll (aka dead body) form and move them around with the gravity gun.

Sign me up my man if you still need people.  Unfortunately I don't have EF though...

QFE, QFT, and +1 to you man.

A favorite quote of mine that is the response to every accusation that I see fly in a game I'm in (regardless if it's directed at the enemy or at a friendly or at me): "All's fair in love and war."

Looks to be about 5.8% for me.

Been meaning to talk to you about that panderiz.  I found out your little secret.  I know that your left nut hax.  I know your left nut hax big time I got it on fraps.  He's going down.

Nobody mentioned crack whores yet?  Jeez man I mean those are the worst.  Especially crack whores with herpes *shiver*.

You sir have just been given the first +1 karma I have given.  Probably because I've been gone for a while, not because I'm stingy

At any rate, +1 for bringing joy to my morning .  I heartily encourage stealing of vehicles as a wonderful strategy.

Of course.  It's only natural to get sick of playing the same game over and over again.  That's why I have a variety of games installed on my computer.  There's BF2 for my shooter itch, good ol' StarCraft/Age of Empires II for whenever I need a little RTS, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for my RPG fix.  There's periods where I'll play a game for a while, get tired of it, then go to another, and so on.

anybody else a little jealous?

Honestly?  Not really.  I'm happy as long as I get all the unlocks.  Still, I congratulate MaxPower for being the top General (and thus, in my book, the best BF2 player) and rb378wby for being BF2's first General (as he got it before MaxPower).

Edit: Don't get me wrong now.  Just because I congratulate them, does not mean I respect them.  Both of these people have spent over 15 weeks time online playing a video game that is 10 months old.  I am a gamer, through and through, but there is a limit.

Yes that is correct.

See how they like it when EA blacklist thier server. Or perhaps a hardware ban.

It doesn't matter, they made their point already.

I honestly knew something was up when he made his score 16 million, the only point to that would be get attention.  His reasons are good to be sure, and I found myself agreeing with them.

Damn that is a well-hidden cheat.

See the big shiney SEARCH button up there??

3 guesses what it's for.


BF2:Modern Combat is the console version of BF2

First of all, the large, shiney SEARCH button would have answered this.

Second, yes it has been known for a very long time now, almost since BF2 came out, that if you disconnect, are kicked, or lose your connection mid-round, the score you got that round, along with any badges, are lost.  You must reconnect and finish the round in order for your stats to be saved.

even then its hopeless. i got 100 knife kills prior and got 16 knife kills IAR, lost connection, got back in and ended up getting 20. nothing

Sometimes that happens

I acutally got my expert knife badge requirements twice.  The first time (during which I never got disconnected), nothing, then second time I got it.

Does anyone know if two jets with support guys in can re-arm each other if flying close enough?!? I haven't tried it yet...........

Yes you can.

It has been proven time and time and time again that the "deaths" under weapons is the number of times you have been killed WHILE HOLDING THE WEAPON LISTED, not the number of times you have been killed by that weapon.

At any rate, mine is 12 kills, 3 deaths, giving me a nice, even, 4 KDR.

do u guys have to bitch about everythin?

Well it is kinda cheap to use your admin powers to idle yourself in a vehicle.

At any rate, he has a vast majority of the kills needed for the medals, so I don't believe that he idles most of the time.  Just for sleep.

hmm guys get over it. It is most likely an april fools by EA and everything will resurrect back to its own state soon lets just see in the upcoming days or weeks lol.

If that were so then it'd be back to normal by now.

There are two kinds of cheaters/hackers in this world.  Those who are quiet about it, keep it to themselves, and only use it every now and then.  These kind survive for a long time without being caught, or may never be caught if they are good.

Then there are those that are.....not so much.  I'm not entirely sure WHY someone would cheat their stats to 16 million points.  Was he hoping that nobody would notice?  Fat chance.

Jesus, if you click the period it reloads your profile and says "Gotcha, Happy April Fools."

No it doesn't. It just searches for a blank player.

Not true.  If you load your stats by inputting your PID, then click the period, they load properly with the April Fool's message.

Nope that is really old actually

When EA made the ranks past 2nd Lt reachable, they did not change any of the old ranks, so 2nd Lt used to be 200,000.

I'll try to be on, but I don't have EF, so....yea.  If the server has EF maps in its rotation I'll be sad.

It's official!  Jesus is a sniper whore!

Looks like a poor photoshop job to me.

Well would you rather a witty, well written and well-placed article (excepting the third one) or have a fake novelty gum package hiding a spring trap for your finger?

IMO, these april fool's jokes are better than what you get offline.

Apparently I haven't played in over 40 years.

Not true on the ammo.  I found that you get a point for every couple nades missing, or every couple AT rockets shot.

Just over 3k away from First Sgt.  I took a long break around and after christmas.

Indeed it is the name of the Ahazi SWG server, and yes that's where my main was.  Sorry though I don't think I knew anyone named aukeldas though.

DAMN that is some SWEET music

I agree with papa smurf!

I wish it were true, but there is no way.  The mention of the Ferrari and of "pubnubs" gives it away.

USMC spec ops.  Even before I found out about all the cool strategies with C4, I loved that kit.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying ea wants a new fee for something? I understand english my be your second language but your not making much sense.

It's an april fool's, it has to be.  But yes what he was saying was that EA has just announced that you will have to pay a subscription fee for online play, just like an MMO.

The reason this can't be real is because MMOs charge subscriptions to cover server maintenance costs, but EA owns only a few servers, so they don't need to charge subscription fees.  The vast majority of servers are privately owned, by clans or other companies (like Comcast).

StarCraft and Counterstrike

Then I got into Battlefield 1942, and, well, here I am today

lol nice april fool's

Had me going for a bit there

PARTY!!  WOOHOO!



It was 64-player size Karkand with only 16 people, so that gave me the time I needed.

So that being said n00bs use tanks and choppers and die.

Mg, M95, and AT all easily avoided.
Tank can be killed while the chopper is moving and/or above the tanks maximum angle that the turret can go up.
Cars, granted they are dangerous, but if both the pilot and the gunner are good, they can counter it.
So jets, AA, cars, and other helos are all that can counter a chopper doing what it's supposed to be doing
