I beleive that map is intended for the console version of the game Battlefield 2: Modern Combat...not the PC version

A good commander would know when to fight and when not to. If people are constantly trying to blow up your assets, you need to stay home and defend them! But fi there is no pressure on your assets....then you should be at the back of the lines with your troops, either sniping, or shooting off grenade launchers from high points (kind of mini artillery). I believe that the commander is the only person that should be aloud to "noob tube" they need to stay alive and with their responsibilities they don't have time to get caught in fire fights. Commander should take the lead and cap a flag that their team refuses to attack because its not the closest one. Commander knows where people are without UAV, any commander that UAV's themself is usesless and hurting the team.

But still, a commander who sits at his base and gives uav artilletry and spotting is much better than a commander who takes the tank and just dies in it constantly because they got c4ed doing a scan and didnt give uav to anyone all round.

its normal. it happened in bf 1942 alot as well. i actually noticed less of a problem in 1.03.

What do you expect the guy to do?  If they have all of the land points and thats the last point there then I don't see what else he would do.  Just go fly around and do tricks or what??  If you have your enemy on the ropes why would you decide to let up and let them back in the game.

do tricks? thats what I do lol. Personally I don't go anywhere near that carrier in a heli not with that AA gun that thing is scary. I just hang back killing boaters and other choppers as they come. As for campers I don't mind them i find it fun to try and kill them, its a challenge. most of them aren't so bright and either hover steady or in a pattern which is easily hittable with an AT missile. most of the time one missile is enough to make them run scared which gives you plenty of time to do what you need to do.

as for Sharqi. you know that heli base has 2 spawns right? spawn at the lower one and shoot him from there they wont notice you until you hit them and a lot of the time they will ignore it because they are too dumb to fly away.

haha well I actually disagreed on many points to your guide. first off the g36 is far more accurate than any of the spec ops guns in semi auto (fire against a wall at a somewhat controlled rate) the g36 can fire faster with less loss of accuracy in semi auto than its base guns... however the M4 wins out in full auto. The M16 has quiote a bit better accuracy than the L85 plus to me the L85 feels more like a toy than the other guns.

In my opinion the M16 beats out the G3 maybe not in power but in firing rate and ammo count, the Assault pack M16 gets a whopping 7 clips (one loaded 6 carried) making it better for the long haul, and as an experienced played I tend to run out of clips before I dieseveral times whilst I do not as much with the M16.

The DAO- hit the nail on the head with that one, I find it very difficult to kill someone with a dao unless I have a DAO or the Jackhammer, in which case its an almost even match as the Jackhammer packs a bit more of a punch with each shot, this gun is indeed an upgrade.
(ps submachineguns should be fired in small bursts unless very close to the target, pp-19 can afford full auto a bit longer)

Jackhammer-yes it is meant for self defense, while you might be able to capture a flag by yourself with it, if theres more than 3 enemies you probably wont make it, and chances are slim if there ae  enemies. You probably wont manage more than 2 kills in a single clip with this puppy. but i must say that engineers are good fo r assault as well, the m11 and the nor have great stopping power and when used correctly (and skillfully) you can take down many enemies at once with them.

PKM- Personally this is one of my favorites as it has tremendous stopping power the SAW is almost as good but lacks the accuracy and power of the PKM, it makes up for it in fire rate and clip size however. But with the PKM it has more fire power, better accuracy, and it is easier to see with iron sights, the SAW makes a menacing flash and has a lot in the wa with ironsights, so spraying this weapon is kind of a guessing game as to where to shoot once you start flaring. The PKM doesn't have this problem but I find it easier to hit a horizontally sprniting target with the SAW. SAW also has a lot more recoil.

as for sniping its all in what you prefer I say m24 is the best but you might say "BUT HOW SHALL I EVER ACHEIVE THAT ELUSIVE THROUGH THE GLASS HEADSHOT!!!!" well you probably won't anyway but no matter how many times I tell myself this I still think "this time its through the glass baby! bang....o crap I missed now hes shoting me"


but like you said its all in opinion and technique! my favs are (in descending order from best down using only one from each kit)

ak101 (med and assault)
M24
PKM
G36C
DAO 12
MK3A1

but keep in mind I play engineer most of the time But I'm usually in an armored vehicle when I am other than that I like Medic assault and support and I hate anti tank (because it means theirs an an enemy tank and I have to divert from my assault to kill it).

I unlocked in this order

L85A1
MK3A1
G36C
M95,G3,PKM (all at the same time after the patch)
DAO-12 (shouldn't have done this one last)

I think when it verifies the data it is going through the entire hard drive for anything that would alter the game in anyway. I recently Bought a second HDD and reinstalled BF2 onto that one and it being the only thing on it cut verifying times to just as fast if not faster than the load time, so basically if you clear your hard drive of anything unnecessary it should cut it down...

ps...the survey didnt have an option for 300gig HDD :-\

127. No matter how far you fall without a parachute, hitting water will always save you.

blah all you people saying the m16 sucks don't know how to use it. I prefer the M16 over both the G3 and the L85. first off the M16 has a much faster firing rate than most guns in the game so if u know how to click fast your unloading just as fast maybe faster than, the ak's and the L85. It is far more accurate than either of these and can easily take down a sniper. you can fire in semi auto faster with less loss of accuracy with it as well. but all in all, I would take the ak 101 over any gun in the game......

haha well dont forget their team may have had a good commander... who spotted people. very handy especially on large maps such as dragon valley. and well if you look at your map you can see where your facing and if you line it up with the red dot on the map. or if you look at where the dot is on the landscape. you can easily find a person most of the time. as for damage hacks mentioned before. they are very rare. damage values and hp values are stored on the server side thus both the server and the client would need to be running the hack for damage values to change maybe two people shot you if you died in one shot? or perhaps they got 2 shots off and got lucky

blah. I dont know the m95 isn't all that great only glass i've managed to shoot through is the occasional humvee or vodnik glass even at short range I cant shoot out a helo or airplane pilot when theyre not moving. I can make easy head shots with the m24 but just blah on the m95. as for the svd, its real good for when u need to offer qucik fire support at med ranges for your team m95 is good for scarin ppl tho I dont know but when I hear the boom and get knocked down to 2 bars I panic!

lol good story. personally i like pulling out a silenced pistol and shooting friendly vehicles with no one around it makes them look around like crazy lol

everyone has experienced the bug with the private thing. whaat you do to fix it is just join a different server (rejoin the first one after if you like) but that will give you your rank and such back if it doesn't well your just unlucky thats not an error with the patch thats happened all along.

blah...see i actually earned my badges one by one lol

yea good question. its something I've always wondered too seems like points are just simply lost which doesn't make sense.

hes right. commander score is based on the score of your ENTIRE team not just squads I've seen rounds with not a single squad, and commander does get points. giving UAV supplies and artillery only is to thelp your team do better. If you do nothing your team might struggle if their commander is doing something.

please realise that nvidia had a hand in the making of the game thus it will support their cards better than the ATI's dont be suprised when it doesn't like your ATI card...

there is no wind in game. the reason it hits to the side is because the ifles are programmed to not hit direct center on every shot they mmight hit slightly left or right. Wind doesn't exist in bf2.... thats much too complicated for ea and dice to figure out

well when I got vet sniper it was right after the patch came out when the stats weren't updating. I think I got vet sniper probably 5 times before it actually saved it but anyway... It did indeed give me the badge at 15 kills every time so I figure its probably right

buy a new hard drive you can get a good one for $100....sounds like your hard drive just corrupted i doubt you were hacked...all hardware has the potentiall to just "die" so your probably just unlucky

blah also stuck at MsSgt 42,000 points and I wont get my final unlock because EA cant get it right even tho they put off this patch for a month to "make sure they got it right" honestly this should be a very obvious error they shouldve seen, requirements were pretty stupid anyway why would they set it at 7 kills for both badges? therein lies the problem... make basic 7 vet 12 (or so) and expert 18 and all woulda been fine.... also wish EA would make more announcements ont heir site so we know what the hell they are doing most of the time.

well I dont mind getting all (but 1) unlock. what sux is i cant be first seargent because i got basic and veteran knife combat at the same time so the basic knife doesnt register at all. so im stuck at master seargent until they fix this bug! which should have been obvious.

wake sucks its not infantry friendly at alland its WAY too big

heres a tip. download from www.filefront.com it downloads in about 20 mins instead of 4 hours from EA site
