Hey guys,

Quick question here (asking after looking in forums, so thanks).

Why is it that Operation Road Rage for Armored Fury, on the 64 player map, with infantry enabled,  there are no attack helicopters? I have yet to see any thing but the Little Bird on a 64 player. Any answers from you would be insightful.

Thanks

There are no attack helicopters on any Armored Fury map.

Why?

Uh, I don't really think anyone here can answer that question unless they made the map for DICE.

Operation road rage has 2 little birds, no attack choppers on either side.

On that Harvest map there's attack choppers.

My only reasoning to this is simple:

I am guessing that EA may have planned on initially placing them on there. However, with the fear of being bombarded with noob complaints they left them off.

Why you ask? Because on this map, compared to the others, it is flat with a long view. With an experienced gunner- a pilot would have to just rise up above the horizon a little bit in order for the gunner to send a missle clear across the map. This could be used any time there was opposition (tanks, AA's) at other locations on the map. All of this done without leaving the comfort of the home base. That would be "unfair" to those who cannot jump in an AA vehicle to defend themselves upon attack. This is just a guess and the only basis for this assumption is what I have seen them do to make the game "fair" in the past.


Argue with me or against me on this- but, that was the case with a similar element before. Remember, there used to be 16 missles on the helicopters as later it was reduced to 8 rounds. All in efforts to make it "fair" for inexperienced players that are on the ground during game play.

Just my perspective, feel free to add your two cents......

On the 32 player version of Road Rage you'll get two Littlebirds and only one A10, plus an additional tank & AA at the middle spawnpoint.
Otherwise the map layout is the same.

that would make sense, but because the range on the TV missiles is relatively short i dont really see a problem with attack choppers on road rage
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

The map deserves attack helicopters. Mobile AA has it easy as it is in AF. And Midnight sun has 3 helis pads for who knows why. It should have another attack heli for each side 64 player

Wrong, they have attack helos on Operation Harvest.  And I think Midnight Sun does too.

And MEC should get a Mig to even things out.
