Who here has heard of the guy before this stuff came out? lol I didnt...

My friend's getting the sound card though, but I hear the mobo is kinda funky and not too decent.

Most of the FPS community and tourney goers....

He's been intereviewed many times by many different sources even appeared on mtv.

But you are right, it was the sound card that made his name famous...sigh

Highest legitimate score i saw was on Songhua Stalemate flying around in a blackhawk. Axeir was playing support ans piloting the chopper, this was before the patch when everyone in the chopper could cap flags. There you have it a legitimate 638, it was a bad ass round we all got good scores.

Not that I call that legit. =o But it WAS in the game so can't argue there.  There is a reason they removed full vehicle capping, legit or not.

Agreed, I would be a much bigger fan of this map if MEC started with a point.  I get quite bored on the US side defending as post of the time no one makes it on.

Thats it! I'm not buying any more EA games!

...Who am I kidding, when is there next release I'd like to reserve it. =o

BTW.  Need For Speed: Most Wanted.  Excellent game! Try it!

I am usually at the top of the leaderboards.  I don't always choose the SF unlocks either...  Take a hint, they are not more powerful.  How would you know if they are more powerful or not unless you have used them yourselves for an extent of time?

Oh well, can't make everyone happy.


The only good point CBRad929 makes is EA is still avoiding some necessary fixes/changes to the core build. The red tag bug really should've been fixed long ago. But this has nothing to do with putting SF guns in the core.  I would agree with him if they were actually more powerful guns...Oh well. Ratios down, this must be the reason.

As for NFS:MW, I agree a lovely game! Having a blast with it.  I recommend FF Wheel/Pedals, its the only way to drive.

Sweet. EXCELLLENT.  Perfect.

Now for a request? Wrong thread I know! The total rounds/gold,silver,bronse ratio thread example. WOuld be fun.

lol

What is the tip?

Every 2.5 rounds I medal.

EA Eliminated that in the 1.03 patch for BF2.. They considered that hacking there code. So when they come out with the next patch.. and they see all the people that have done this.. They might set your Stats back to ZERO. Well it is something to think about before doing it. If you have spent alot of time gaming in the BF2 & SF then you will think twice before showing something to the public as cool. Because the next time you are on to check your stats you see that you are back to square one. nothing.

They never reset anyone in 1.02.  Why would they? It does not affect stats and crosshair color.  People just get confused and think they are admins/commanders which is why EA changed it.

Trying to decide if I want to upgrade my vid card as the X700 works fine, not great, but fine.

Lollerskates! He used a real life comparison. That is great.  Why are their not nukes in the game? Last I heard they were very useful in real life. It would end all these silly infintry battles! 

Every good pilot knows they are only afraid of other good pilots.  The anti-air is not a concern.

I have gotten most all my vet class badges now in SF as well as the basic flashbang badge. Anyone received their hook/zipline badge?  I've been using them like crazy and still no badge.

I did get the crew service SF ribbon on Iron Gater.  Had a heli pilot that nearly forgot I was a gunner and killed most everything himself unless we were just hovering for repair.  1 ribbon down!

Actually I am getting a very bad 5 second stop/disk activity now in SF.  I'll be playing great and then all of a sudden the screen stops and 5+ seconds worth of constant disk reading with no screen update.  I never used to get this in BF2, but I only have 1g of ram and I'm sure my page file is constantly getting hit anyhow. I plan to put another 1g stick in.

As for the settings I left mine at medium as the FPS itself seems the same just the disk loading seems to be a lot more.

lol your right. The only weapon he even has over 1k of kills with. =o

"As long as others have the ability to do things that are possible through the game I will do them too."

A very weak argument as even EA/DICE can make some balance mistakes. Besides being in game you should come up with another strong argument.   No worries as other GL users have defended it with a lot better arguments.

I am still adapting to SF.  I love change so obviously I got the expansion the day of.  Now with all the talk of more infintry battles and less armor was I was excited. I love the city maps in BF2.  But when I installed and started playing through the cycles I was expecting a little more fun than I found.

The night mode is somewhat annoying. Even though its got its advantages and different strategies I just don't like the way it "looks".  Less viewing area and less detail/sharpness makes it less enjoyable to look at, even though you can take advantage of these effects and hide easier.

My main gripe for the expansion is probably the the speed vehicles.  The ATV makes it pretty much impossible to stop advancement behind you.  I have hardly ever been stopped when I hop on an ATV and drive past the enemy without worry and cap their back bases.

Why is this a problem with me? Only because I love the sense of massive infintry battle and push-back until capture technique which gives me a good sense of battle accomplishment.  This is my opinion only! No offense to others that actually like this.  But bottlenecks such as Karklands front entrance and water flags are great battles to me.  The night mode and ATV/JetSki seems to remove that.


Oh well! I'm still going to keep playing it and get a better feel of the different game play and tactics.  I wish there were more rooftop spawns for the zipline!

I just got it a few days ago.  Saving my unlock "just incase" for SF.

Hmm good thoughts.

Here is where I see the medic is getting too many points.  Because they are rewarded even if their "victim" they revived is killed instantly again.  My thought around this is if your friendly you revive stays alive for +2 seconds after revivial then you get the +2 points.  If he doesn't you get 0.  This should also help medics from reviving in combat just to get those points (a lil help).  You can even play with this formula and change the seconds and points such as only alive for 1 second you only get 1 point, etc.

As for the assault class. Maybe he should score team points for using the smoke grenade/grappling hook(expansion).  Such as if its your smoke grenade going off while team members capture a base, or an enemy gets killed inside the smoke. This has its down sides of course and we'd see smoke everywhere.   Actually that'd be kinda fun to see! Smoke grenades are not used enough. Or someone uses your hook to climb, +1 point and that hook as a max point on it.

I agree the assault needs some teamwork help as rarely no one uses them as such. (no point reward)  Look at the egineer, points for repair? Right, around 5-10 max per round.  The medic and support definately have a teamwork point advantage and I hope a lot of these things get worked out.


I'd love to see engineers mines not get a TK for friendly vehicles, even if they do blow them up. That way people are more careful? Maybe not but at least engineers would use them more! Same as for claymores.  And to help prevent TK engineers they could evaluate how close the vehicle was to the mine as the mine was laid and then give the TK if it was less than X feet away.  So TK'ers couldn't take advantage of.


P.S.  Keep in mind if a medic revives a teammate and they DON'T die, then no ticket is removed from the total.  This is just as good as an assault class removing tickets.

What makes the assault nade launcher a noobtube is that it is 1hit death at close range, medium range, and even  long range with a bit of practice. This makes for unbalanced game play, particularly in the close range battles.

Why the hell you need assault in this game than. Almost 0 teampoints every round is balanced by getting GL kills. No GL, no Assault kit imho. Assault soldiers are for killing the enemy personnel. So they should be most powerful.

At least make good arguements if you are going to post a response.  Just because a weapon is in the game does not mean its balanced and takes skill to use.  Take the BFG from Quake2 for example.  It just killed everything in its path without proper aim or worry.  Of course most servers removed this from the gun options.  "Stop complaining about the weapons!"  Why not?   Its the best way to balance them.

Not that I think the DAO is unbalanced as I only get killed in small alleyways, rarely in the open.  But if you going to say not to complain about a weapon give a good point for your reasoning. It makes for a more interesting read.

Also your last paragraph is horrid. What you are saying is keep the GL BECAUSE no team points? wtf.  You just removed the usefulness of the G3 with that argument.  Why not balance both the GL and team points for Assault then? Maybe different changes. Its OK to change a weapon/vehicle in the game. ITS OK.

CHeck the blackhawk for example.  People would flag cap with that like crazy and unbalanced some of the maps. (Mostly with little anti-air)  They would then say "Stop complaining, there are strategies against it! Why do you think its in the game!"  Well after the latest patch..its not.

Be objective.  Toughest part for most people.

P.S.  I think the knife is overpowered. Snipers keep throwing them at me from very long distances. And it even sounds like a shot when they throw them, wierd enough.

Its simple; of course its a strategy and tactic well used.  But the problem is...it pisses people off and makes them leave.

A lot of people have the mentality of "screw them, they don't like it they can leave". Eventually you'll have a lot less servers and enemy to fight, remember this!

My fun stops when the enemy gives up.  When does yours stop?

a really good trick is to go to a server with few people (like 16 players max in it) and then usually there will be no commander. just play like normal and score as much points as possible. when you have almost won quickly apply as the commander and voila: you've just doubled your score.

haha, wrong.  That is not how the commander score works.

Nice try though.  You should try it before suggesting it.

I would love more ammo per clip, thats it.  Its an excellent dmg/accurate gun if used correctly but you do find yourself reloading alot especially at bad times.

And of course everyone else loves the launcher...meh (<-IS THAT EVEN A WORD!)

Medic is a very easy way for me to get those 100 point rounds.  I love killing though so 50+ team points with revive and heals and then 20+ kills always gets you to the top of the list.  As a medic always try for offense as well, your gun is still a killing machine! 

Just remember, when you see that flashing "MEDIC" icon above a dead body, thats 2 points! GO FOR IT.

Just be aware of your surroundings and UAV. You'll know if its safe to revive or not...  Always dive/revive as well. I had a 158 point game on sharqi as medic with mixed ground/vehicle action.

The best Atk. Helicopter Crew is one that Have Dirrect and Constant Communication between eachother, I Fly Pilot for Snake-Eyes-Jay alot of the time (Ranked 220th for Choppers). We always talk and Spot, Things like "Lower The Nose", "Blackhawk Left Side" "Attack Chopper Comming In From The Right" "Go up"

It makes us a Deadly Killing Machine.

Sounds like a great idea! Damn public servers don't always offer such teammates and communication.   Its hard enough to see an empty heli waiting to be taken sometimes.

But it seems constant communication would be key for multi-kill routes.

Thx for all the info guys!  This was a helpful thread for me.

Maybe they should make a (crap forgot name of map) where it was two carriers only and very fast plane spawn time as was for Bf1942.  I actually liked that map as even though it wasn't necessarily a balance act it gave everyone a chance to fly/bomb over and over again. 

Though it may not fit into the ranking structure well.  Thats the downside of having a ranking system and releasing maps, if they are not quailified to be a ranked they don't get nearly as much exposure/server time and if they are ranked maps then everything has to be thought out and planned before it can be released as to not screw their own point system.

I have a feeling the rank system will eventually get old and there will be a lot more people on non-ranked custom map servers.  But I don't see that in the near future.

Well normally this might sound like the case but I was hovering right above the tank and didn't give him any time to correct.  He tried his best as I saw the rocket arch down hard.


Thx for the info guys!

So I love being the gunner in the heli's.  Especially when the pilot lines my missle up perfectly for me.  I've started to really get the hang of it.  So I thought I'd repay the thanks and pilot myself.

Now I have gotten a lot of the flying itself down no problem, not expert, but no problem targeting/hovering/etc.

So as I was lining up my gunners view box on the tank below us, his missle flies out and over shoots.  He then says I was aimed too high.   Ooops! All this time I thought the gunner view in the pilot cockpit was for the TV Missle.  So the question is, where IS the best lineup for the missle for your gunner? My pilots seem to make it perfect every time, and I just realized I was doing it all wrong!

Sorry for repetitive question but my search brought up too many non-heli posts.

Hmm, I may have to get one myself.  My very old original SBLive Value 1.0 is starting to display issues.  Not to mention it has been in about 8 different boxes from the original purchase.

X-Fi > Audigy 4 eh?

Switch servers.  I have had many servers not reward the badges (some of my favorite servers) and then after switching to a new server I instantly started receiving badges.  EVEN though the server is ranked and scoring your points, sometimes for some reason they do not award badges when needed.

As for the_heart_attack reporting his friend received a badge out of no where??  That is very strange and unlikely as the badges are rewarded client side first and then sent to the server.  I have never seen the stat server reward the client after a day or two unless you actually reached the requirements again.

Oh well.

Only be embarrassing if the game launcher was actually similar to the real launcher.  So... I don't think there will be a problem.

Its easy to distinguish between the two.

I still think its gay that ea didnt count hand grenades as explosives cause i got 40 hand grenade kills in a round.... >_<

Well, they are "supposed" to be used in different ways. Such as grenades are targeted throws.

But throw in the fact you can use C4 as grenades and the point is moot.  =o

Spawning at an empty airfield...
Getting bored and start shooting grenades into the air with the grenade launcher...
Realize a plane has spawned as can be seen on the minimap...
Run towards the plane to finally leave!
Finding out that the small projectorary of the grenade is in the same direction as the plane as it comes down and lands on your head as you were 5 feet from the plane!

Calling out medic as a medic jumps in the plane and runs your body over as he takes off.


This game is classic.

A proper sentence...Only makes it easier to read. =P  They probably just trying to help as a lot of people skip over a hard-to-read or annoying post.

As for the war college ribbon, I gave up.  Too much of a swing for me to obtain now.  I am going to assume EA changes the requirements.  I'll look forward to the medals. =o

I love it.  Excellent idea and EA should take note. =o  Chuy for hire!

It also matters what your score was last round.  Players with the highest score have a better chance at becoming commander next round.  Though I never figured this would out-weigh actual ranks but it might be a weighted average between the two.

Yes

Yes

...Even though I have seen a hacked machine real time having its files deleted.  Basically when they try to delete everything that they can (exclude files in use) then what happens is whatever you have open at the time stays but it starts to display some very wacky behavior.

Then once you exit the application(s) you will see that windows itself is missing almost all its components/features.  Then if you reboot your system files will be gone and you'll basically get the blue screen.

Not that I think this is what happened to you as HD crashing is much more common....But the experience is similar. 

I would have to agree with chuy.  The repair points just don't come in fast enough either way. It would be near impossible to determine if they stat padded or they were legit repairing in the midst of battle unless it was an obsurd amount of repair points.

You'll be lucky to get that 25 points in 1 round for how slow it is. =o

After I verified it worked I found it boring as hell and very low score anyhow.  I couldn't bear to do it.

hmm didn't sound to me at all like a like, but more of unforunate luck.  I've been on both ends of this story.  It happens..

Oh well

I sold my 89 RX-7 for a Durango a few years back.  I ran that car into the ground.  Yes that style looks great, but I must agree with the rest the 3rd Gen is my favorite.  No one says you need to use a body kit...

The 2nd gen without the spoiler looks very bad. Thats a must-have.

At least use a period or comma!

Yes this does work... It also works if you flip the vehicle upside down and then jump in the back and start repairing.  Why flip it? Because the vehicle takes constant damage as you constantly repair it. Probably for best effect have a team member there with you otherwise you will lose the damage battle.

I'm sure this will be fixed next patch.  Even then repair points are so slow you don't get a whole lot out of it expect maybe your badge on a slow server.

If you like to play commander AND you are planning on obtaining most all the badges such as Expert Air Defense and such here is what you can do...

Basically just mount up in the stationary object you need "time" in.  For example you can sit in an Air Defense mount while commanding while playing your least favorite kit.  Both the time requirements will grow for those two items as you command.

This may be common sense to most of you but I thought I'd share anyhow.  How else are you going to receive those expert ground defense or air defense badges with 60-100+ hours in them.  Well this makes it less boring anyhow. 



Plus your score will apply to the mount you are in at the end (Not necessarily kills, but overall score).

thats...interesting

haha nice capture.  Fun times in BF2 engine.

One of my favorites is when I was rammed by a transport and literally flew half the mini-map away and down another set of hills.  Great ragdoll moment.
