I piloted daily in the <}US{> Server way back when... and i loved it... I remember being a gunnery sergeant with 75,000 points....

It was in no way unbalanced. MEC squad of 6 spawn AT. Coordination was key though.
But it was so satisfying to kill a good BH team.
If fact, the BH IMPROVED teamplay on Mashtuur 100%. Now, its a snipefest (no teamwork).
With EA & DICEs current trends, they'll bring it back, but nerf soloing...
*knocks on wood*
Only proper example of team play in bf2 that actually scored major points, I was in a 650 point scoring squad, I was third (pilot) with 130 and even the lowest scoring guy was well into the high 80s without firing a dam round, AWSOME!

Getting in the tank on Mashtur was a blast.... i hunted that hawk like a stalking tiger....
Main gun to the Bhawk FTW.
Vodink was also lethal if used in tandom.

Have you seen the videos of what that gun should be doing? There was a segment on the Military channel about it, and it sure as hell is not the 1.41 gun.k30dxedle wrote:

It is about balance.
If it was about real life the MEC would be eliminated in 4 minutes every map.
It wasn't fun for the MEC if they were down to their last flag and the BH was circling the flag.
So now it is a transport not a airborne battleship.
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
But he was making a real life comparison stating that it was just a transport ship. Which it is, but also comes equipped with the monster gatling guns.Stubbee wrote:

If the game is about balance, how, might I ask, can you explain Wake Island?
Yes, I know what it does, and in no patch has the BF2 M134D been like the real-life one. And it's nobody and nothing's fault except the BF2 engine's - weapons can only fire up to 1800 rounds per minute, in contrast to the 3000-6000 the minigun gan do.BlackKoala wrote:

DICE could've just saved us a lot of trouble and either just put .30-caliber machine guns on, or taken them off altogether and kept the rocket pods on...
what? you do realise that the m67 cannons mounted on the side of said transports fire MOLTEN metal out at an extremely high rate, the shrapnel alone killing anything within a 12 mile radius?k30dxedle wrote:

why the hell didnt DICE just give the MEC a blackhawk of their own.. if they couldnt come up with anything they could just say that the MEC have stolen a USMC transport.. voila
also, it's pre-1.2. Pre-1.12 blackhawks were a bit too unfair, as you didnt even need to exit a vehicle to cap a flag (imagine flag caps taking 2 seconds or less with a full blackhawk)
It was a lotery that for sure, but sometimes people didn't like that they lost the lotery and made sure that they would win anyway..Volatile_Squirrel wrote:

If you had the Barrett .50cal you would always win the lottery
Except when the other guy got his lottery ticket before you.Gravity wrote:

Soloing in the blackhawk=win

Soz, that wasn't what it was like at all.
Ive only got to use it when I reinstalled BF2 and did some BH soloing on SP cleansweep Was quite fun actually.
Although I can kind of see why they got nerfed, they got overnerfed. They really should have just beefed up the MEC/PLA chopper guns so you can actually hit people with them.
You'd have ended up with airborne chopper battles like in the bf2s BH Down challenge

Nerfing the blackhawk took out 2 great maps out of most server rotations. Shonghua and Mashtuur.
Im gettin closer and closer to installing an older patched version of bf2. I wanna experience the BH ownage train.
