I guess I should pirate a copy of fraps and make one? I'm sure fraps costs more than an eighth of weed. Anyway, I'd like to.

Threat.Con.Zero

not really, because the support's already prone so a little twist and he can take a direct grenade, and the medic can run

its known as medpack 'stacking' actually, which involves throwing down as many medpacks as possible behind a spot and then shooting from there

Great guide.


I feel like reviving while proning deserves at least a little bit of credit in your guide. The shock paddle has a good bit of range to allow for reviving while standing, but used while prone, the range goes out quite a bit farther than you would expect (I almost want to say 2 meters), letting your revive teamates pretty out in the open from safely behind cover. A screenie on the max revive distance while prone would be ideal.

sure, u get a little more horizontal range if u are prone, so it def has its place. not to mention if u need to be prone or crouched to get the benefit of some piece of cover. i only recommend learning to revive on the run because its probably the best way to approach a given revive unless some particular factor makes it necessary to prone.

in bf2 it really helps to reserve your prone key for those split seconds where u know somebody is or is about to land a spray on you. so u might run across the street, letting go of sprint for only that split instant that u click to revive a buddy, while an enemy struggles to hit you sprinting. u use this time sprinting toward the dead teammate to, with a glance, see exactly where the enemy is and then after the revive, even while still standing up, or maybe in a quick sprinting jump, u then aim at them, and in that instant where u are now facing them and probably about to die because theyve been focused on shooting at you for 5 seconds now, u hit prone, your head as a target moves like six feet, and since u are already aiming, u just have to click, and 9 times out of ten since they are already sitting still, all of your shots reg, and none of theirs do b/c they are either out of ammo or have built up too much recoil deviation b/c they were just shooting for 8 seconds straight trying to hit you on the run.

if you were to just automatically go prone for every revive, then you might already find yourself laying down sitting still in that moment where u are turning to face the enemy after the revive. and if thats the case, u will probably be dead before u even aim at them. in bf2 the sad truth is that if people are sprinting (especially perpendicular), they are almost invincible. u might hit them, but you probably wont kill them before you need to reload or they reach some kind of cover/stop for half an instant and blow your head off as u lay there trying to figure out where their hitbox is. this doesnt apply to people with crazy good hitreg, but u dont see many of those.

now this doesnt mean that u wouldnt be just as safe reviving everybody with a little 0.5 second dolphin dive, but reviving can be annoying, sometimes u can successfully revive their shoes and other times you revive the center of mass only to realize that you have simply revived their ammo/med pack or other inert garment. for all these reasons i think it helps to just revive on the run where you can aim nice and smoothly (because ur just sprinting, not doing the little prone compensation). keeping your aim dead on while going prone might be one of the primary learning curves in this game's io mode. u have to do it a bit to get the feel of it and even when u are good at it, u arent as smooth as u would be if u were just standing still concentrating on your right hand. the only reason people do it a lot in bf2 is because its one of the only ways that u can rapidly dodge a shot at the same moment as directly aiming. so i only see it as that useful when im trying to kill someone, u can dodge bullets just as well while sprinting sideways if ur just trying to revive, so its usually not worth the slight amount of additional effort and the distinct ~15% possibility that u miss the revive altogether. i mean if i know im behind cover i will just stand perfectly still in any position to revive, because under those conditions you might as well do whatever u can to just not somehow miss the easy revive.

lol, at how much i can ramble about this game.


This short somewhat crappy vid exemplifies most of this stuff:

But I need help with the "headshot game". I rarely go for headshots and good players frequently headshot me before I can put enough bullets into their chest. I'm having trouble training myself to make going for the headshot my first reaction. [/b]
