pkm whoring was wasting the shit out of me

Yeah I've found the 'Gator to be a bit of a "PKM or die" map too. Come to think of it, I got my best round score ever by PKM whoring on that map!

if I uninstall sf's will I have to re-patch bf2  ?

Why would you uninstall SF, even if you hate it? Do you need the HD space that badly?


But back to the main topic of the thread - I reckon a good MEC team can win this map any day. Just the other day I was playing it as USMC, and the MEC heli-bitch flew the Hind INTO the hangar bay and hovered there while his gunner pwned everyone running up the hangar bay (including me - twice!). I was impressed.

Iron Gator for SEALS Is funny.I played Support and got 40 supplypoints lol

Doesn't it say something like "Victory will go to the team that practices supirior infantry tactics" in the description?

Next patch should have the Grapling hook enabled on this map. That would make things so much better.

Agreed, but they'd have to change some mechanics of how things work.  If you can go to the the F3 position on the boat and then select grappling hook, what button do you press to get on it?  E (by default) will cause you to exit the boat and not grab the line.  It's probably an easy fix/workaround, but something that'd probably get all jacked up. 

After playing SF more than BF2:Vanilla, you find so many places in vanilla that you just 'NEED' a grapple or zip line.

Anyone ever heard of the TV MISSLE? Honestly...

good chooper pilots dont have to worry about the essex its not to hard to outmaneuver it but i agree with the one guy using btr-90 is best bet then using attack chopper to keep the topside clear an move guys in with transport why is this so difficult? besides last night (first time i ever played a locked down iron gator an it was my fault for being Seals chopper pilot) normally having the tunguska really limits the seals chopper and putting some apcs in the water and getting on that ship other than that teamwork teamwork teamwork!!!!!!  iron gator is great fun!

it doesnt necessarily drop, if you get it in a good enough hover it will just rotate an spin around, not necessarily lose or gain altitude, but it is great cuz it makes it difficult to be a lone heli pilot an tv guide effectively, unless like some unnamed people i know have keys bound to take them directly from the pilot seat to the gunner tv guided position......and it works good too


ps i suck at it so bad ill just sit somewhere an spam "get in " or go find a gunner

Lol if you get hit by essex in the hind there is something wrong with you. Dodging its missiles on the approach to the ship is easy as pie.

To the comments about PKM whoring is completely wrong. PKM whorring is least effective I got my best scores with the Ak47 and the G3.

Exactly. Only when its engaged in combat with the Apache should it take hits.
And my best score (262) came as SEALS with an M16

Oh damn this thread is older then jesus. Bah didnt check.

This thread is months old.  When Iron Gator was first patched, the AA on it was insane.  It didn't matter what you did in the Hind, the AA always hit you unless you used your flares...and since the Essex can track you as soon as you take off, you were always dead unless you had someone standing on the shore taking out the Essex AA.

Common; all you have to do is point the nose of the chopper towards Essex, raise above the hill and let your gunner do the rest,,,,,,,,,,quite easy.........
