BF2S Forums Why are there planewhores???

Yes sertanly I agree that there are pilots who play to win. And who play to help. But its hard to call them "planewhores" then. I've played with "working", not "whoring" pilots too, and in all of these games I had alot of fun, without being tked from above. Its just sad that most of the pilots(not everyone) I see dont think about their planes as a part of their team, but they think that a team is a part of their planes.

Good to see some good pilots infantry can rely on

Thats kind of funny cause I have only seen one guy who actually challenged me in the air and that was acL._chiXnhawk_ , no one else has come close.

And that is complete bullshit that a good pilot doesnt care about the WIN.  Any good military man will tell you that whoever controls the sky controls the war.

Sounds Good Man.  Just use this site to see me on line or look me up on X-fire.  I should be on tomarrow night and Im sure this weekend.

Happy Hunting!

my only enemy is CCC planewhore, how ironic. but he has been banned from every server he has played on, and hasent played in months...

I took a good long break from the game, but I continued playing for a bit under http://bf2s.com/player/23mm/. Fact is, being a PlaneWhore is a pretty thankless job. No matter how much ass I kicked very few members of my team would respect me for it. For example, I'd always switch to the losing team after each game to help them win, and almost always that switch would result in a victory for the other team, keeping the games very even. However, even when people saw that and knew that I was still constantly grieved by my own time during take off. Even worse, over the couple months I flew jets heavily I was literally banned off every single good 64 player server that played air maps and had a good thing for things like "cheating", "baseraping", and banned off quite a few select clan servers for "being too good". It's sad that people would rather kick and ban a good player then face them head on, as it was common knowledge after I released my pilot tutorial video at http://files.filefront.com/PlaneWhore__ … einfo.html that I was not a cheater.

So to sum it up, I love flying planes, but the horrible community that inhabits Battlefield 2 served to ruin my flying experience. Thus the break I've taken over the past couple months, although I do plan to do a little PlaneWhoring once more now that most of my bans have likely expired and I'll actually be able to find a decent server to play on without much difficulty.

You buggers all have it lucky

I LEARNT to fly on ranked servers which would explain the abysmal number of deaths I have in a plane. At least its picking up hard and fast now

yeah i did that 2 and why do they call us planewhores cuz the infantry always has complains oh i am so noob and a tank comes and i get kill by the tank stupid tank whore everything in a vehicle that kills them is an vehicle whore but they dont have to moan cuz the pilots do their thing like yesterday i played and took all the planes down that i saw flying and got 61 kills 7 assist and 2 deaths although my deaths are high too i have 1800 blabla kills and 470 or more deaths below the 500 nice isnt it to be a plainwhore

the job of anybody is to enjoy the game however they want

stop being little babies and blabbering about so and so using a plane in a way you wouldn't or so and so using it too much. if people played the way whiney babies wanted them to this game would be boring and you can't come up with criteria about how somebody should balance the time they spend using features of the game. what if somebody bought it just to use jets. and stop bitching about tking too, so few people tk for vehicles but from reading posts in these forums you'd think there was some plague of tking going on. sure, there are some servers where admins/people allowed by admins do this in freedom but you know what? play somewhere else and report them. it doesn't happen most places! Whoring is a myth perpetuated by people who just want to create enemies and villains in the community. There is a spectre haunting BF2S.. The spectre of whoring!

There are bad, completely unobservant players who use all kinds of vehicles, not just jets. With jets though, you have to make quite a few more assumptions on where the enemy is, because you dont have the luxury of strolling up to them to make sure they are there.

Anyhow, seems like you just have bad experiences with pilots that dont bother to use the minimap. Don't judge us all by that standard, as some of us actually use our eyes.

I suck at flying but I respect those who our good at it, they put a lot of effort into learning it so they deserve the payoff.

utter bollicks m8...they plane whore cos they are really shite on the ground and their stats look wank!!!

only some random thoughts:

imho there is no such thing as a plane, tank or whatever vehicle whore
BF2 is a game about a lot of aspects of modern warfare - tanks and plane are part of it
if someone wants pure infranty fights - go and play CS

some guys complain about constantly bombing - a good pilot does not bomb that much, instead he uses the guns a lot - there were some rounds on wake i did not even bomb 3 times - i guy who is bombing all the time is in most cases not a good pilot

i sick of admins who kick or even ban people who are good at flying - i myself have 8 bans now - all happend because i owned some rounds in a jet - last time i was banned was yesterday - the reason from the admin was, and i quote: "banned for being a butplugga" - wtf - is that supposed to be a reason? - if you are sick of getting owned get in a jet and hunt the other pilot

i laugh at people who are constantly starting kickvotes against me - or even better imply the whole round i'm using hacks or aimbots or something like that
LEARN TO FLY - it isn't that hard - u just have to know where to aim with the guns - and at that moment u leared it you will know you don't have to use hacks - a jet in the hands of the right guy is simply the most dangerous weapon in BF2

last but not least: a good pilot don't has to go for the carrier the whole round - people don't understand that it is an act of humanity when i shoot them out of a heli, a boat or a jeep - at least i let them the chance to start into the game - nevertheless they are constantly complaining - i could also do it like half of the pilots i see and go for carrier all the time

just my 2 cents

i'd say that the point is missed in this thread right from the beginning, guys. the question is not "why are there PLANEwhores", it's "why are there WHORES in general". and the answer is this, imho: the reason people "whore" stuff is because it's worth whoring. and why the hell is that? - right, i'll tell you: because of the way ranking system was designed. beacause the only member of your team who's going to directly benefit from actually winning a round is your commander. for everybody else there is easier way to get points - gl, medic, armor, planes, choppers, you know the deal.

Your defense against jets is friendly jets.

This is the best statement I have seen on this forum.

yeah, yeah, again - it WOULD be if ppl in planes actually cared to win a round. most of the time they just ignore each other because there's not many points in trying to dogfight the opposing pilots out of the sky. you'd probably spend half the round doing that not getting as many points in the process as you would doing "bomb/rearm/repeat"-thing.

that's the core of it, not jets themselves or aa or anything else.

i think the first people got the topic right. but now it's kind of turned into an airhead v/s ground pounder argument.

Why are there Plane Whores?
   Beacause DICE f**ked up balance. Planes can kill like hell but are practically invulnerable. Easy way to get kills. Surely, you need skill for Bombing, but you get more kills for the same amount of skill than for fighting on Ground.

Why are there winers?
   Because they are really fucked up and cant do nothing against it.
