BF2S Forums Sliding Down Ladders

Sliding down ladders was one of the first things i learned how to do,besides running,looking around,and shooting.What i didn't know i could do was change camera views while on a ladder.This allows you to see the top without climbing all the way up and getting blown to bits by a claymore.

I just had a thought: you guys that already knew this can you remember how you learned? Is it one of the tips you hear when you're first playing and maybe people miss it (like I did with left-clicking to call a medic)?

I'm not sure but I think I might have picked it up seeing someone else do it and then figured out how by trying.

I found out but just messing around when I first got the game. I knew I could sprint, so I wondered if I could use it on ladders as well. Found out that I can't speed up the climbing up part, but I can definitely go faster on the climbing down part

Thanks for the reminder, I'd totally forgotten you could do this.

Okay, supernoob here. Wow, I learned how to call for a medic when dead (not that they ever come anyways....), I learned how to slide down ladders, and now I need to try changing views to see what's up on top the ladder. Wow, all this info just by poking my head in this thread. Thanks guys.

Hehe, ya never know what gems might be lurking inside a thread eh?

Don't worry, I won't try the 'nade scope trick......not yet anyways. Wait 'til I get better.

It is actually really useful in certain situations as it drops it right at your feet; people are not used to seeing 'nades not being actually thrown so often they won't even realise it and continue to run towards you or whatever.

dammit! shoulda known this... i would get pwned so bad coz i climb down ladders...

I thought a true ninja wouldn't need a ladder.

but u see, EA doesnt give me the options for jumping down quickly and not injuring myself i blame EA, but i chute most of the time i so wanna sue EA for not giving me a ninja class

I feel like a noob saying this- but how do you roll to the side into prone? I never figured it out and nobody else seems to know, yet I see every soldier and their mother do it on city maps.

ok Thanks

ok Thanks

You got it..

i knew

I always knew about adjusting throw distance with a grenade. It took longer to realise you could throw them a set distance with left mouse (I thought it would just prime it).
I never saw anyone slide down a ladder and didn't know until I read this thread, that's going to be a big help, thanks.
Also, the camera view on ladders, I didn't know that either. Should come in handy as to whether there's someone on top of the building.

I didn't know that, after 205 hours!
Wow theres alot of things I don't know...just last week I found out you can guide eryx's with the tube!

About the guiding missile thing, I knew it when I first started playing AT kit a long time ago, and then forgot. Fortunately for me I reformatted my computer and got the whole voice help all over again, and then it told me and I finally remembered! AT isn't such a bad kit when you know that trick

About the guiding the Ernyx thingy, i knew you could guide the SRAWs and then about like 2 weeks after that, i realized they could do it too, thought it was only a US trick.
