BF2S Forums Taking out UAV; Bad Form?

hmm i didnt know you got points for that, as for taking it out knock youself out afterall it helps your team

For all the times I've killed the UAV, I have not noticed getting any points.

It was actually a good job & very unselfish of you , most people play karkand to get points fast in the hotel meat grinder. You caused their commander some grief it sounds like & made them blind at the same time lol.

Good Job again.

Well I will take the high road and not flame you mercilessly for your lack of familiarity with the world of BF2 (we all call it WoBF2).

People just occassionally tease spec ops for putting all that effort into blowing up assets that will be instantly repaired by a conscious commander. Nevertheless, with vehicle stealing as a viable option, your sneak attacks can be quite lucrative for your team, so try to spawn rape that main until you can get yourself driving something that people would teamkill over. But be aware that these attacks wont be sneaky at all (search: "commander" or "satellite scan") and u will find yourself dying like a bitch after your arduous jog to the main on many occasions.

Its more likely that the other team was not actually dissing you for this behavior. It is much more common to find the enemies "crying" whenever any strategy works or appears to have worked from their perspective. You will frequently be accused of stat-padding, glitching, base-raping, hacking or bunnyhopping if any of your endeavors appear to have functioned on some level or to any degree.

Congratulations on learning to TV. But let me blow your mind once more: After launching a TV missile, subsequent clicks will actually change the missiles final destination!

I'm pretty sure "pawning" is just another iteration of own, pwn or prawn. You should never use any of these words while playing BF2 because they make you sound retarded.

hes talking about the commander assests.

if ur talking to me u then u misunderstood my advice. Blowing up assets is well and good--but if you came all that way you better be leaving in a pimp vehicle that they are going to be missing for the rest of the round.

I think its great. I started BF2 playing spec-ops, because I was a noob and wanted the M4A1. I didn't know much about the game back then, and I put alot of hours in. Lately I have never played spec ops, but I might start again. Its all about getting a DPV and being stealthy, operating quietly behind enemy lines. Save all 5 C4 charges to take the UAV and scan trailer first, and make sure to keep them down at all costs. I like to plant quickly, get the heck out of the way, then detonate, because usually artillery is coming the second the commander sees you back there. Then wait for supply drops, and keep everything down the whole round. Dont be an idiot and reveal your position to multiple enemies, unless you can kill them all. Its a long trip back there, and by the time you died, the commander got his stuff back up, he's pissed, and he'll hunt you the whole round. You gotta stay alive the whole time. Theres not alot of points doing this, but its a fun rush evading an enemy tank in your DPV, and blowing stuff up is satisfying. Most importantly you'll win most of your matches because the commander is almost useless if you can keep all his equipment down the whole round. So you would probably make shitty points, but have a huge W/L ratio. Thats why I dont do it much, not alot of points lol. But its fun as hell sometimes.

edit:

Another strategy, is keep an fast vehicle nearby. Dont let it explode, I think if you leave it empty for a minute or something it will explode. So make sure it doesnt. Then pick a nice location and pop a bunch of enemies WHILE keeping the equipment down. This will piss them off so much that you'll be hunted at their spawn point. Stay in as long as you can handle, then when it gets too intense, fly back to friendly lines in your DPV and hang low for a while. Get healed with the medics, help the team on the front lines a bit, get fresh ammo, then head back and do it again when the heats died off. This keeps a bunch of enemies tied up at their base, hunting ONE guy. The commander is all paranoid now (you knifed him twice right? ) and everyone is focused on killing YOU. Meanwhile your team is pounding the enemies on the battlefront, and you should win like every match you play lol.

I vote for all out anarchy!!

If it can be C4'd in any way in which you get points then go for it.


"Are those subtitles?..."

When I first started playing BF2 I played Spec-Ops a lot and destroyed assets a lot. It is a reliable way to get points when you are first starting out since your main concern when you first start at BF2 is *not dying*. It also helps your team/commander out a lot. It's nice to take out assets then hop in a vehicle and start mowing guys down. I agree with the previous poster who said that pretty much anyone on any server at any time is liable to scream at you if you do anything even remotely worthwhile, strategic, or helpful. In my experience about 20% of all people on a server at any given time are just waiting for an excuse to flame someone as a "n00b", "hax0r" or something else. It's just ridiculous. Never listen to any of it.

Yeah guys I think he means assets, not the UAV itself..

I have to be one of the nicer BF2 players, I get pissed when people don't follow the rules, and my normal server has more rules then most...(aside from those crazy Christian servers).

But even we say no one allowed in enemy uncaps other then 2 spec ops at a time...

Destroying assets is what spec ops is supposed to do, thats why the assets are destroyable...

I have never ever heard anyone say don't destroy assets. I think if anything the guy was making fun of you for taking the time to do it....There are a lot of dumb people in BF2 bit about how people are noobs for doing everything from using unlocks to fly jets....As long as your not cheating, and are following the server rules disreguard anyone else as an idiot.

Affirm. I eventually figured out that the UAV itself is staying up there, no matter how much I shoot at it

Here's what i do:
1) spec ops
2) get to the enemy's main
3) put C4 on the scan and UAV trailer
4) blow it up
5) stay relatively close to the scan trailer
6) when commander drops supplies (stay far enough away that they can't see you if they zoom in) on the satellite scan, put C4 on it, reload at the supply crate, and blow it up
7) you have 5 C4 again, so go ahead and blow up whatever other commander assets are nearby.  If you're lucky you might even get your own personal arty strike, which means you've not only annoyed the enemy commander sufficiently enough to cause him to go completely overkill on you, but you've taken an arty strike and only lost one ticket than allow it to be dropped on a squad of your teammates and you lose several tickets

8) You survive said strike and proceed to wreak havoc on the remaining assets.

Makin a Quick double post here, ummm With regards to being Artyed while Trying to Blow up the Arty...this should never happen, your right there and you can hear the thing firing, If the Artillery Changes its Angle or Direction, If its pointing straight up or if it faces away from the battlefield it is most likely comming down ontop of itself. So run for cover, wait...maybe you were wrong, sometimes the Arty is always up at a 80 - 90 Degree angle but your better safe then sorry. I play by Survival, not by SPM, so some of you might not care and just wanna toss toss blow +1 Point with complete disregard for Machine, but its just ...ummm, A Tip?
