I'm interested in seeing the inclusion of EU maps/time/scores, but I'm sure Chuy will get to it eventually. Great job on this site BTW!!!
LOVE the Great Wall, although it took a few rounds to see it's posibilities. On 32 player, it's an Engineer or AT map. If you keep moving, the snipers have a hard time getting you. On 16 player, it ROCKS as an infantry map. Grab the medic kit with the FAMAS and get ready to OWN. Medics vs. Snipers, battling up and down the wall. Problem with claymores? go as a squad. First guy triggers it, 2nd guy revives..on to the next..follow the sound of sniper shots and fill him full of lead...it's not that difficult, but is sure is FUN.CrazeD wrote:
How can you call Great Wall a good infantry map? It's pointless. You get shot by a hoard of armor, so you spawn anti-tank, but then you get sniped, so you go sniper but then get molested by armor again...).
The only armor on the 16 player size are those stupid AA vehicles (were helicopters included on this map at one point???) which some noob invariably decided to get in and drive around. Oh well, you have plenty of cover on the wall. Let them sit and shoot at stone, I'll go T-Bag some snipers.....
What is Win2003? Never heard of it. I was running Win2K (got it for free) when I first built my computer, but couldn't get Half Life and a bunch of other games to run on it, so I got a WinXP home 'upgrade' and found a use for my old Win98 CD!_j5689_ wrote:
It didn't work when I first tried to install it on Windows 2003. Then again, it's just a crappy unsupported server OS. XP is much better than 2003 anyway so i'm happy.
I think it's sorta funny that the guy who says "arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics" is arguing on the internet......whether his points are valid or not, he's still competing.
If they want to spend all their gaming time twisting a wrench, what do you care? Seems like pointless masturbating to me. I'd rather frag. You oughtta get a chopper and blast them out of the water. I bet they'd quit doing it then. Or snipe them off the boat. That should be good for a few laughs. Use server spy to find the servers they play on, then snipe them whenever they try to stat pad....HAH!
Yeah, let's take a great infantry map like Karkand and add an attack chopper so the helo whores can rule there too.....Bleh..
Do you think EA will be releasing a 3rd tier of unlocks in the future to keep people interested in BF2, or will they just shift their attention to 2142?
Reason being, I love the FAMAS after using it on the Great Wall, and would relish the opportunity to use it on Karkand and Sharqi. It has a sweet rate of fire and decent burst mode. That is what I wish for my next unlock!

The Jackhammer and DAO are great in certain situations. Running around Great Wall, for example, especially on 16 player size, you have plenty of opportunity to round the corner and take out 2 or 3 guys at a time. Try THAT with a 1 shot shotgun or a pistol! I initially derided the P90 and MP7 as worthless squirtguns, but, as with any weapon in BF2, you just have to learn how to use them. Rather than saying "the jackhammer is borderline worthless" you should say "I am borderline worthless using the Jackhammer."JimKong wrote:

Had a blast using the PKM as a sniper rifle before this patch. Never played support until I got it as an unlock at my last rank (had run out of weapons that I wanted to unlock), then didn't use it until the previous patch. Unlike many, I never became a PKM whore, as I have too much fun playing medic now. I have tried to move through and learn the fun aspects of all of the kits, and the super accurate PKM made support more enjoyable, but it was way too accurate. Sort of sucks now, at least for me. Now that I got my 15 hours in as support, I can go back to playing medic. Ciao.
Of course the guy's a retard, but that has no relation to clans. Yes, alot of clans are made up of immature jerks, but alot of non-clan-affiliated players are immature jerks. The benefits of a clan are:Flyboy63 wrote:

1) play on your own server where you can boot smacktards like this jerk
2) enjoy gaming with friends
3) work on communication, team work, and skill improvement
4) competition play, if you are so inclined.
Gee, what a new topic. I wonder if anyone has ever tried using a knife and pistol server? Hmmmmmmmm.
So all this guy does is Chopper whore at Kubra Dam? To each his own. I prefer a little more variety.

I don't think this is the dominant weapon on Karkand. I do see people use it alot on infantry maps, but I still get killed with the f2000, G3, or assortment of AK's. I gotta say that I love this gun on infantry maps. The accuracy is incredible. A couple of quick 3 round bursts will take down anybody without a headshot. It gives you no 'special power' but I try to duck around a corner, drop a medic pack, run over it while I reload, then jump back out at full health to engage some more. I agree that AK's are good up close, but shooting across the creek on Karkand, they are worthless.
Got both, but seem to prefer the g36 weapons, both the medic and spec ops unlocks, they are what I mostly play now. If they would only add a G36 variant for the next Anti-tank unlock, I'd be in Heaven (can't stand that crappy engineer SF squirtgun).
G36c ROCKS. I'm now a G36 addict for both Spec Ops and Medic kits...
I was addicted to 42 and swore never to change, until I played BF2 demo a couple of times. Now I can't go back. I can't seem to function without my sprint key or my unlocks. I love the G36's. If I could use my Medic G36 and had a sprint key, I'd go back and play 42 some more...
It's distracting in-game and serves no positive purpose that I can see other than "NOTICE ME, I NEED ATTENTION" I am used to tuning out that annoying text that appears to the left when focusing on an enemy or firefight, but that giant orange name (l33thxorz) flashing by catches my eye long enough to impact my game. I'd rather not see it at all. Go play on unranked servers if you want to fool around that way. My 2C.
you BASTARD. I have been WAITING for this patch, very impatiently. I didn't read your post carefully, just looked at it this morning, then did a quick search for the patch online, finding nothing. I just looked again over lunch, and realized what had happened. It would be funny if I wasn't so impatient about getting it.
Dude, join a clan of decent guys and play on your own server, then you can BOOT the asshats. It's not rocket science.jonnykill wrote:

Love my MX1000. The first one I had, the left click button started working intermittently after about 3 months. I emailed Logitech tech support, and they sent me a new one within about a week. I love the sensitivity, shape, and heft, but I mostly love the cordless. I only wish for another side button that I could use to bind weapons to...
T-BAG!!! I do it when I'm in good spirits to occasional pubs, but ususally save my camo-covered testicle sweat for the guys in my clan. Also, a buddy of mine showed me that, if you are a medic and you kill a guy from the other team, while his body is laying lifelessly, you can make his head BOUNCE by throwing medic packs at it. Endlessly funny....
Hey Kid. Don't slam the rednecks. I know that you are still popping zits in the mirror between times mommy lets you use the computer, but you should really know that they no longer make moonshine. Theyre cooking up Crystal Methamphetamine in their trailors. And our republic wasn't created by the Romans but by a bunch of mostly ex-British guys who took off on their own.cwkatl wrote:

BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah there are alot of stupid people in America. There are also alot of intelligent people. There are alot of insensitive people, and alot of caring people. There are alot of whiny little shits with access to computers, and there are alot of poor kids who feel that they have to join a gang to get by in their poverty stricken neighborhoods. It's a BIG COUNTRY. Those of you in tiny little countries around the world probably can't really conceptualize it. You can grow up in millions of different places and have different experiences and outlooks on life and still be American.
TO the guy who thinks that over 50% of the country voted for Bush, we have never had 100% voter turn out. I think it was closer to 17% (not entirely sure) so, by your argument, 8.5% of the population is retarded. The vast majority is simply cynical, fed up with politics, or totally uninterested. How many people in YOUR country are involved in their own little lives and figgure that politicians are crooked and don't really take the time to vote???
Myself, I'm glad to be American. I know that life is more often shades of gray than black or white. I appreciate the good things around me. There is plenty good about this country, although I know that other countries also have their good points. Those of you that HATE America need to look into your experiences and see what you can change to improve your own personal outlooks on life. Yes we have a very strong economy right now and a very strong military. It hasn't always been that way. Go back in your OWN countries history and look when you were on the ascendency. Was your country always being nice to everybody and acting out of benevolence and altruism? I thought not. When our day in the sun has passed (hopefully not while I am alive), yall will be hating someone else. Perhaps China will be all nice and accomodating to everyone if they become the dominant world power? Perhaps some Islamic nation will lead the world to peaceful and happy co-existance?
Anyhow, stop worrying about things you cannot change. Go back and work on your KDR...
Hey, lets try and start 100 new patches about hating bunny hopping, dolphin diving, and noob toobing before the next patch comes out. Look at it as a challenge...
L85A1 is good for single shot sniping, especially on night maps in special forces, but it sucks in short bursts or full auto. I have both medic unlocks, and played 2 rounds of one of the SF night maps with the airplane in it. From a semi-hidden position, I was able to dominate with the G36 medic unlock. 2 quick 3 round bursts put down several insurgents in a row. Map ends and teams switch. Now I'm an insurgent and decide to use the L85A1 and pull the same trick. I tried firing short bursts at targets at the same distance, but with no visible results. I had to switch to single shot mode to get any kills. I have never liked the AK's, as I crave accuracy, but have played with them some in SF. I have been playing medic alot more now that I have a sweet, accurate, and relatively powerful G36....
I disagree. I have a Athlon XP 2500 barton core with 1 gig of ram and run fine. Upgrade the video card first, the memory to 2 gigs second.stryyker wrote:

There are several widgets for BF2, but I no longer have them enabled since they started blocking BF2s on my work computer. Interestingly enough, they block the front page and stats pages, but I guess since the forums address is forums.bf2s.com instead of bf2s.forums.com I can get to the forums through the filter. Thanks for the lack of uniformity Chuy, so I can keep checking forums from work.
As someone quoted previously, it's because of people like you that most people punish TK's. Intentional TK's are not a 'necessity of the game.' If someone is TK'ing you, complain to the server administrator and have them booted. Join a clan and play on smacktard-free servers. And don't punish unintentional TK's either. When you TK someone back who did it to you, you are no better than they are. Grow up dude.general_rookie wrote:
I hate having to TK, but it is a necessity of the game. Duchebag teammates sometimes need 'removed' from a situation.
Now THAT"s an asshat.
I have also seen discrepancies on that tracker site between hours actually played and hours reported. It seemed to lump several days together for me around new years day, and indicated that I had not played for 2 days previously, when I KNOW that I played every day and that I didn't play for almost 17 hours on January First. Oh well. It's only a stat.
Why bother to learn an explot that will be going away in the next patch???
If you don't like what happened there, don't play there. I wouldn't worry about the ban. In my experience, guys who come on our forums and complain "I was banned for no reason" are usually not telling the whole truth. When the logs are checked, there is usually alot of ass-hattishness on their end prior to the kick and/or ban. You may not see it as such, but some guys swear as 2nd nature, and will start TK'ing at the slightest provocation, claiming that this behavior is justified. Again, if you are telling the whole story, you're probably better off playing somewhere else. If it is less than the whole story, you may wish to reexamine your conduct for when you join other servers in the future.
pick your unlock based on the kit you enjoy playing, or that suits your style of play. They are both great unlocks. If you keep playing (and especially if you buy Special Forces) you will get to unlock all of the weapons eventually. I unlocked the Spec Ops gun early on, and just unlocked the medic gun. Both are quite accurate at distance, and I'm learning to love the 3 round burst.
Dude,
There are other things to worry about. You could live in Detroit.

If you ever got something like that up and running the lag would be impossible, most machines couldn't handle it. Good luck, dreamer.

Ditto. Get killed by a tank while a sniper and use my 15 respawning seconds to pick AT kit and new spawn, then, REVIVED back with my useless kit facing the same tank, usually to the same fate. The other annoyance is when I'm revived with an empty clip (got killed while trying to reload or switch weapons), only to get killed again before I can reload or switch weapons. SUCKS. Double the respawn time, too.Friluftshund wrote:
The only time I find it especially irritating to be revived is when I was planning to play a different kit in respons to something I saw/heard or was killed by but hey, I guess you can't win them all..
very nice guide..
Thanks for the guide. I can't hit shit with the shock paddles as a weapon, but love the G36E unlock. It owns on Warlord; 2 quick 3 round bursts will put down any enemy. I can usually take out a couple of insurgents before they can do more than half damage to me, heal myself and reload, then do it again until I run out of ammo or run into a noob toober. I have gone back to playing medic lately and look to get better at reviving.
As others have correctly pointed out, if you hit them in the head, they would have died. If you get 'kill assist' that means that you hit them somewhere and did damage, but didn't kill them. They are not hackers, you have just not 'mastered' the weapon. I have gotten endless kill assists with the M95, helping out my team mates in the process (heck who wouldnt' want to face a guy with only 2 bars of health). Some guys have told me that there is a faint red x when you hit somebody, and have posted screenshots to document it, but I have never seen this in my game. It would be very helpful when sniping at long distance to judge bullet drop if I would get the red X for a hit, instead of the guy running off and you wonder if you hit at all. I can tell you that sniping is hard, but (perhaps due to the difficulty) is immensley rewarding when you do get a head shot and the guy drops.E7IX3R wrote:
But in that round I must have hit 4-5 guys in the head straight away and they didn't die..only for someone to kill him and I get "Kill Assist" or whatever it is. I hit 6 guys 3-4 times in torso (they were running) and still dont die.
Had a guy once on a pub server hop in the vodnick at the suburbs on Karkand. I had spawned in as Spec Ops and hopped in, hoping for a ride in the direction of enemy command assetts. He drives a ways, then gets out. Huh? Next thing I know, he shoots and TK's me, then hops back in and drives away. "Why did you do that?" I type (chosing not to punish), but get no response. "This guy just TK'd me for no reason" I type to admins, with no response. Perhaps I was naive, but I couldn't figure out why this guy would just TK me. I was puzzled and annoyed. Well, I respawn back at Suburb (had been too busy typing to change my spawn) and run walk run walk back towards where I had been wanting to go 5 minutes previously. As I'm making my way past the entrance to Karkand, I notice the guy who had TK'd me in the gunning position of the Vodnick shooting at the USMC. OOOh, that's why the SOB did it. I run up to him again, get in front, and type, "Dude, I would have gotten out if you had just asked me to" with, you guessed it, no response again. I"m sorry to admit that I committed about the only intentional TK that I have ever done in BF2 at that point. I tossed a grenade in the Vodnick to keep him company and went on my merry way. Of course HE punished for that TK. In the future, if you want a guy to dismount and you are of the TK'ing asshat nature, take the time to ask him to dismount and perhaps tell him why. Some of us will get out, saving you the TK stat.
If you want to practice with vehicles or kits, why don't you just hop on ranked servers with few or no people so the round won't start and nothing is recorded. You can crash helo's and TK to your heart's content with no impact on your stats.
Dude, the opposite is also true. I seem to pick up the idiot who starts blazing away at rocks and passing bushes, because he has a shiny new 50 cal, and it makes Cool Noises. This can really be annoying when it gives away your position to a passing tank or attack helo that MIGHT not have noticed you otherwise and now you're a smoking grease spot. I still pick people up, though, because I HATE being 'trapped' at a spawn with no transport, and having to run walk run walk to where the action is.Ub3r-ElitE wrote:
You are probably the type of player who wants a ride, gets into the gunner seat and does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when i drive around. When i stop the vehicle there are 2 possible reasons for that: a) we reached our target, i jump out or b) i saw an enemy and want you to shoot at him. Unfortunately 80% of all bf2 players doesn't even seem to know that you can shoot with the .50 calibre gun.
No thanks, i better drive alone.
Gawd, just stop and pick up people. If everybody stops trying to be a prick, there will be less prickishness. If someone doesn't stop, don't fire at them you idiot. Save your ammo for the enemy. This kind of behavior is what gives pubs bad names. If you get tired of people TK'ing for crap, find yourself a good clan with their own server. The thing that gets me is when you hop in a vehicle, see nobody around and start to drive (I always try to wait and type "GET IN" before I drive off), get several vehicle lengths away, and somebody calls for a ride. You start backing up to pick them up and they run right under your bumper, get killed, and then punnish you for the TK. Dumbass. These are the same people who try to pick up 'friendly' claymores or drive their vehicles over 'friendly' mines because they forget that theyr'e not playing Mario Kart racing and it's not a power up. Go play Xbox, you idiots.
I like the emphasis on infantry and the limiting of vehicle whoring which can totally dominate several BF2 maps. I still don't like the night vision maps, or at least areas with jarring transitions between night and light. I like sniping down from the devil's perch with the BF2 medic unlock. It sounds like a pellet gun, but it drops guys like flies. I love my new SF medic unlock, and just wish I could use it in SF. I find it owns on Warlord when I can play as SAS.
