I'm a newb so maybe i don't know the sounds yet. Can you hear the artillery when it's being fired IN BF2142?

In bf2 i would hear it being launched (depending on where i am on the map) and head away from populated areas. After getting an x-fi it was easier to distinguish it.

Don't quite understand your question, but x-fi lets you hear everything...especially on a 7.1 surround sound system

Nope, you hear the "whistling" about 1.2 seconds before it smashes into your head.

EDIT: Fkin typo.

specifically i want to hear the enemy artillery being launched. if can hear the faint sound of it, it was an early indicator  that artillery is heading in your area in bf2.

I thought there was no arty in 2142.

Yeah sometimes when I'm paying attention.  I can occasionally hear the arty firing halfway across the map and i know if capping a flag that it may be coming for me.  And thats not an xfi only a crappy audigy.  Can't imagine what an xfi would sound like.

the arty on bf2142 is called orbital strike instead

maybe it's not technically artillery. maybe it's star orbital missile strike from space or something.

No, in 2142 you can't hear it being fired but it's not like it matters. Artillery in 2142 is such a joke anyways. When it starts coming down it's not hard to sprint out of it. The only time I've been killed by arty in 2142 is when I didn't have enough sprint to get out or got stuck in a half-dead, EMP'd vehicle.

BF2 however, with a good sound card you can hear it being fired a mile away. I have the X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum with optical surround sound headphones. I can be around the Mosque on Jalalabad and hear people firing at the hotel.

that was my guess. i see it was pretty accurate. so technically you shouldn't be able to hear nothing until it's coming down on top of you? 

i'm so confused!

Im on x-fi and I dont hear it till its coming down whistling, but in BF2 I hear it getting fired out of the cannons.

Yes, Orbital Strike means its coming down from satellites so no, realistically there's no way to hear it being fired. But as it's been mentioned, you can hear the whistling a second before it hits.

Okay, you can hear kind of a *thunk*, then a bunch of whistling sounds, followed shortly by the orbital strike impacting.  You usually don't have to worry, unless you're in armor, cause it shreds armor.  Otherwise, hunt down a medic, or whip out your own medic bag, go prone along a wall or some object, and you'll live unless it hits you right on the head.

i have noticed that artillery has been nerfed in 2142. I often see people running IN to the artillery strike as if it's not even there.

If its a joke, how come can I get about 2-3 people with it everytime i use it??? I think my best is about  8 people with one strike.

You just got to know how you use it efectively. Which a lot of people don't

i'm not an expert at using the artillery in bf2 or 2142. but as a player i do not fear the artillery in 2142 as i did in bf2.

Orbital Strike is supposed to be used on Armor, not infantry.

Idiots.


Oh, and yes you can hear the orbital strike... like 1 second before it comes down.
