BF2S Forums Are You Disabled?

i dont know any disabled gamers...but my friend broke his hand once and i bet he knows what ur goin through

he totally freakin sucked while he had his cast lol

I have something wrong with my digestive system too, so I get pain from that, but painkillers keep that under control when playing. I command a lot, although there are lots of people who dont make it easy Like if I go engineer & requisition a humvee to stop at a commander asset to repair & a player from my team team kills me for the vehicle... seriously, its a humvee :s

I have Athsma, thats why I play BF2, no running involved.

I bet your one of those people who uses a humvee too get to the plane

My eyes are messed up pretty badly. Have absolutely awful vision and an astigmatism, so if i cant find my glasses my face has to be a foot away from the screen.  At night or if ive been looking at bright screens too long my vision goes insane, so the longer I play the worse I get.

I have a form of muscular distrophy. It does affect my motor skills a bit. I can't rapid fire or jump when I shoot... the jump and shoot thing is no prob now though!!!
I have some trouble aiming when in close combat.
I'm not in pain but there are some little things that I'm sure affect gameplay.
I think maby if you stick to sniper and take it easy, you'll be just fine.
That's what I do if I'm having a bad physical day.

I should get this moved to the 1.2 praise thread

Its made it a bit easier for me as well, not too many quick leaping about to avoid launched grenades moments since 1.2

Although there are moments againt people with DAO's or the Jackhammer where I die... & just look at my hands with a look of dissapointment 'Come on hands pull it together, we could have had him'

I know the feeling!
There are moments when I look at my hands in surprise when I do a good job and kill lots of people!!!
Another thing I do is play Ghost towne and man the stinger sites and tow sites. I also snipe from my base and you'd be surprised the points you rack up.

Teammates may not like it allot but if you are defending commander assets, they usualy don't say much.

Wish I had more players like you when im commandin

Usualy I spend half the game hunting down spec-ops players who have infiltrated the base. Only one game I can remember when I actualy had assistance to defend the base & that was karkand as MEC, had a nice guy in a vodnik taking out all the infantry trying to take Gatehouse & destroy assets, was great

Well, we should hook up in a server sometime. It won't be for another week or two... Icanceled my isp. I'm going for a better rate. Just a waiting game now!!!

I dont stay @ our home base all the time but in ghost towne I do quite a bit. Just depends on how the hands are treating me. However, if we are teaming up, I'll do what you ask if you're commander. Points arent everything... I just have fun playing.

Hollow, that is difficult... I have an issue with playing the game for long periods at a time, just because my stomach gets ill, but I can't say I would continue to play through pain though...  I suppose you would do better commanding, although not as fun.

Don't know which moderator removed the flame in my post to someone, and deleted the cause of the flame, but I appreciate it. This wasn't the place for that.

I hope that you have received some good feedback Hollow_moon, it is an important post, especially because it can help identify some tips that could help you enjoy this game.

It seems some of these people need to stay away from the game because of their problem. Such as...

-Bad eyes, Staring at computer screens won't help. Your eyes will get worse.
-Athsma, Shouldn't you be doing something to help that? like some mild exercise?

Maybe it's just me, but I think games would make these things worse over time.

But if you were a gamer & you developed a condition like that, would you simply give it up?

I'm not really saying giving it up, but rather playing less, or maybe spreading out their game-time.

The guy with athsma said that BF2 was good because there was no running. so is he just wasting away his life on a game simply because he is unfortunate to have athsma? Should he give up some things in his life to play a game? Just seemed a little silly to me.
I'm in no way saying that this guy is sitting there all day not doing anything with his life, I have no idea who he is and what he does, but his post just seemed like all he does is play the game.

Not to mention that if you have a condition that is debilitating, but you can still find something you can do, and enjoy, who are we to take that away?

Asthyma can be pretty bad, and no amount of exercise would help (my wife suffers from it). I have heard of some cases, where the mild exercise would literally kill them!
As for the bad eyes, it is a judgement call... Beethoven went deaf for his passion... maybe this brings as much joy for someone else?

I understood your point though, and like many bad habits, you or I can't tell someone to stop because we don't think it is good for them... they have to decide for themselves the risk versus reward. As much as it may hurt us (I have lost three people close to me because of lung cancer, caused by smoking).
