Yeah I know, I only just found out, I haven't paid attention to this game in a long time.mtb0minime wrote:

Boosters will be free I bought them on release, they weren't very good- the maps got boring a lot quicker than the originals.
Changelog from beta 2 to beta 3:
# Made some more tweaks to J10 handling to even its balance against other jets. Good, this was needed, though I bet they fucked it up.
# Hit detection is better but only for those on low pings - We have seen some improvement from the closed beta results but let us know what you think. Never really had a problem with hit detection apart from trying to knife someone.
# Occasional connection drops after being on a server a couple of minutes - Fixed Yeah right. Connection problems have been around since patch 1.3, I doubt this will completely eliminate them.
# Modify HUD in TV guided missile view that makes viewing difficult on maps like Dragon Valley - Fixed Nice, this was an annoying part of trying to use the choppers on Dragon Valley.
# Added Battlefield 2142 style prone deviation - Fixed (going prone will now cause reduced accuracy for a brief period the same system BF2142 uses) This patch was looking great until I saw this part. What is their obsession with making infantry combat more and more slow and shitty every patch? Just once i'd like to see a patch that didn't degrade the experience of being a footsoldier. First it was no shooting while jumping. Then, jumping makes you use up stamina. Then making proning slower. Then the running animation when you got up from prone. Now this. Basically I won't bother playing the game again because of this. BF2142 infantry combat was shit, the solders were slow as mules, and trying to make BF2 that- which by the way used to have the best infantry combat out there- is just fail. Basically this completely rapes the Support class, or well anyone who liked to have accuracy in their guns.
Changes made from beta 1 to beta 2:
* F35B had a lock delay of 1.5 compared to 1 second lock delay of other aircraft - Fixed Never noticed this, then again you didn't tend to stay alive long or indeed often get in a postion to be able to lock something in an F35.
* UH-60 (Black Hawk) guns had 0.25 splash damage setting, down from 3 making it difficult to hit infantry. - Fixed (this is now set to 1.5 to improve the UH-60's usefulness while not allowing it to dominate) This is nice, maybe it can go back to being a useful as a vehicle other than just transport.
* It was impossible to pass a claymore unless an engineer disarmed it first. - Fixed (players can now go prone to pass the claymore) Nice
* Allow BF2.exe to use more than 2Gb RAM on machines that support it - Fixed Cool for those of us with 4 gig +
Update v1.50
GAMEPLAY TWEAKS
- Changes made to both the J10 and F35B to make them more balanced. Please note that the J10 is a superior dogfighter to the F35B and as such these two aircraft will never be equally matched. Lol
- AA targeting tweaked to make it more effective. Unnecessary
Haven't played for a few months. The 1280 max res doesn't sit well with my new monitor or mouse
Booted her up today to a have a whirl though. Was quite amused to find some old people I knew still playing on the same server.

The best points as ... stat, is that per round or per life?
Please, pyros are the best to go with. Ubering a pyro then rushing a bunch of enemies is awesome.B-Scimitar wrote:

About a day now.
God this game is fucking annoying. I got 44 kills as Assault on SF, a long boring IO round of Warlord with like 8 people on. The award comes up, drumroll etc. Yay. I play a whole nother round, then it loads a new map, I let it load, and then quit once it has cos I was tired. My fucking medal hasn't shown up!
Does this just randomly happen? Like the random hit detection on choppers, random bullshit headshots with a spray-o-matic piece of shit like the L85A1, random UAVs appearing in front of you and blowing up your jet, random CTDs and crashes and disconnects. Aargh i'm pissed off.

It is a bit depressing isn't it? Just think what we could have done in those 1000 hours...
Also remember to keep moving. Flares don't really work if you're just hovering there.
Runs fine on mine. Vista x64, C2D 2.4Ghz, 8600GT and 4GB ram. I'm the first person to load into a map now, it's erotic.
Well, I turned it off instead, that fixed it. Cheers.
So this isn't showing up in the search. Whenever I go into the enemy titan, all the walls and light goes totally black. I can still see people, and the 3d map tags, but nothing else. It's really weird. If I backtrack and get outside again, it goes back to normal. Happened to anyone else?
Good server, but Tampa isn't really worth running a 24/7. Can you put some more maps in the rotation?
Modern helicopters, of course they can do barrel rolls. Yeah, the gunships are pretty shit. I miss my AH-1Z. I think the gunships would be ok if they would take off the 'stabilisers' that stop you banking too far, so that they were unstable and actually manuerverable. Also make the tv missiles targeting back to like in BF2 so you can actually hit something, and maybe make the main rockets a bit stonger. Oh, and make them able to circle strafe properly. Then they'd be decent.r2zoo wrote:
Agreed. The "helis" arent worse, their more balanced and you need some teamwork to use them, you cna no longer hop into a gunship and get 150+ points whoring the hell out of it. I personally love it, and you can do all sorts of fancy manuvuers in it if you know how. A barrel roll is pushing it, but I dont believe modern Helicopters really perform barrel rolls either, I doubt its a valid combat techniqueZCaliber wrote:
I find straight down shooting rather useful actually... Something Helos couldn't do. But it isn't that the 'Helos' are worse, it's just the vehicles they're up against have better protection. ;P RGMs may not outright kill in 1 hit, but they still set any vehicle down to flaming and destroy aircraft in 1 hit. (Plus they can destroy commander assets... Something I don't think BF2 Helos could do.)TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

Alright, someone add me. Finally got a pc that can run this game at a decent framerate. Yes i'm poor. Anyway, i'm an old BF2 player but BF2 is pretty stale for me now. I played this at release, didn't like it that much, but giving it another go. I do hate the 'gunships', they're terrible. Gimme an AH-1Z any day...

Agreed. Every patch since like 1.12 has made the game laggier for me, not to mention nerfing everything like they do. I hope there aren't any more, they suck at patches.
RPG-9 goddamit.
Played it a lan cafe from august/september ish till jan '06 when I got a decent pc and started properly playing then. Played for about a year, but now it's pretty much over for me.
God, Songua sucks. It's just like Mashtuur; everyone running round in a circle capping flags except with gay armour trains.
I would have stopped if 2142 wasn't complete shit..
Yeah i've had a few assists. I've also got points for blowing up commander assets a few times from a stray bomb.
I rape the essex when I can, easy kills. I don't have a problem with easy kills. You almost have to rape the essex on maps like wake or they get all their stuff off it and overwhelm you.
IMO BF2 is a lot better so far. 2142 is laggy as shit, and the aerial vehicles are pretty damn useless. Also it's quite BS how a tank dies from one shot in the back.
I used to like hopping in the back of every blackhawk taking off and sit there repairing, while getting a few kill assists. The friendliest thing I do now is medicate, otherwise I just kill.
Yeah, it's [killed] because it's like a roadkill.
Ok now do a thing comparing all the jets in rl.
It does piss me off how you have almost no chance to get away from a gade if it lands next to you. In rl, you could dive a good few feet away from it, but nooo, bf2 soldiers are all cripples and take 5 seconds to get up etc.
Well, it fixed itself. Stupid computers.
I log in and connect to the account server fine, then when I try and join any server it says this:
"You have failed to connect. Please check your network connection(s) and try again."
Um, wtf? My damn connection is fine, seeing as I just got off Eve Online, and Firefox works as normal.
Also BF2 was working fine a couple of days ago, and nothing's changed afiak.
Help please!

Yeah, that fixed it, thanks.
I ran the 1.41 patch again, that didn't work, so I tried to uninstall SF, and I get this error.
Help! I have no idea what to do.
Help! I have no idea what to do.
The most fun thing for me is to steal an enemy jet or chopper. And lay a couple of clays before u take off. Nubs are like hay where's the jeBOOM me[claymore]nub.
Yeah I used to sit in the back of a blackhawk repairing all day while the guns ripped anyone apart. It was great.
You realise it takes like 20 seconds to reload a tv whereas a linebacker can 'spam' 4 missiles and kill any heli in about 2 seconds.Drunken_Tankdriver wrote:
Man on that round i said F*ck it man these tv missle spammin whores
Well they're stupid then. I just ignore them- if i'm doing well I get like non-stop kickvotes against me for some reason (I don't taunt or anything), but they never work so I just carry on playing as I was.Plisken wrote:

^^^Yeah u can do some fun shit with comm. I drop a supply crate near some enemies, if they sit on it to heal I arty them. Only works a couple times per round before they figure it out though.
Also when you're defending a base by yourself as commander, if more than about 2 guys come to cap it and you're on foot, hide and let them have it. Then when they go, and if no-ones spawned after like a minute, cap it back. They will be pissed at losing the flag so quickly so will come back whereupon u either arty them or set off 5 C4s you had laid. Then hide somewhere a few hundred metres from the flag, because after humiliating them with the arty or C4 they'll be hunting for you. If they dont find you, they will cap the flag again, this time wait longer and use the scan to check for guys waiting to ambush you, if there are none, go and cap it again. This will REALLY piss them off and they're likely to come back with a full squad and/or armour, so run far far away to a friendly area as you won't hold the flag, but you did piss off the enemy and if they came back en masse then you weakened their attack strength elsewhere which may have allowed your team to cap or hold another flag.

Well he didn't say anything about what kits/vehicles we could use. And yeah, i'm not great at sniping or infantry. But seriously when we get going;NokiaN73 wrote:

A: There won't be anything to kill as we'll have got most of it already
B: To get kills he'll need to be near the main fight, where he'll get spotted/uaved and MGed.
C: By like halfway/two-thirds through the game his team will be down to a couple of bases, and i will be circle-strafing and raping them like a whirlwind. Ghillie doesn't stop MG fire.

If some guy gets in who i don't know first i look at his rank, then I usually line them up for a couple of tvs at a tank etc. If they hit at least once then i'll usually carry on, maybe get down and dirty with the rockets if they're not great. However if they suck i'm not carrying them, why should i when I can hit everything most of the time and keep a whole team's armour/helis down.
[killed] is when you're dead and someone trips a clay or mine you laid previously, and you do get the points/explosive kill etc. You also get that when you blow up a barrel next to a guy.fatherted13 wrote:
you still get two points, it just doesnt get counted as a explosive kill- i thinkpetermassingale wrote:

So you don't even get two points?!
Or do you just mean it doesn't count as an explosive kill?
Pfft, that's the loser way to do it. The best way, and almost guaranteed if no-one notices you and the round lasts long enough is to spawn MEC on sharqi, the top spawn, get a vodnik and drive it to the sand spit out in the water, press F4 and repair yourself!Snake wrote:
As for repairs, I would say that SF is better for it. The Essex gun on Gator gave me my expert Although Warlord and Ghost Town can be good for em too.
Once there was some guy doing this and we repaired our Cobra by hovering over him, it was pretty amusing.
The only time I ram is unintentionally when pulling away from strafing a chopper too late. If my airfield gets taken and i'm out of ammo, I just circle around at 600 feet to get my jet hours up!
I play with a couple of guys who load super fast, so they grab the chopper and usually give me a ride when I spawn!
You know, a lot of the time as commander I feel like TKing the fuckwits on my team for completely ignoring me. 90% of players only know one m.o.- attack. If you're lucky you get a couple of guys defending your mainbase, so you end up having to fend off squads by yourself. Also nobody ever goes back behind the frontline to mop up lone wolfs capping a flag, so you end up having to divert your force and waste tickets getting that one back.
We need to get a multi-miliionaire to buy Dice and Battlefield back off EA I think.
When I get a ride in a heli with champuss or facialclamax. We destroy everything.
Can you not hack the stats out of them somehow? And yeah, fuck EA. I wish we had a good publisher instead of these fuckwits.
My victims are mainly Corporal noobs, not that impressive. My worst enemy; I let him statpad me and a mate to get his expert knife back when you needed 18 kills IAR. I kind of wish I hasn't let him do it now, it makes me look bad.
The game is worse that it used to be for sure. Laggier, slower loading, AA is too good. Jets are ok mainly because they have speed on their side, but choppers are too weak amour wise. It makes me really fucking angry when you get lit up by an aa, flare, one or both missiles hit, you kill the guy, and head back to repair. On the way back some noob kills you with a jeep. Really jeeps are fucking lethal to choppers.
