is dolphin diving back in 1.22?

Re: is dolphin diving back in 1.22?

This game is not meant to be a war simulator BF2Freak. It is not meant to be a flight simulator or anythign else. It does not matter what "real life" is compared to the game. Here is the biggest example:
Blow yourself up with 5 packs C4, then have a medic run up to you and hit you with shock paddles, and you are magically alive...I dont think so. There would not be enough left of you for that.
And no DD is not back...Trust us, you can sleep soundly with this knowledge.

Actually i beleive dolphin diving is actually back but in another form. Instead of jumping going prone and coming to ground and firing on the way down, you strafe and go prone, then get up strafe and go prone. All the while firing your weapon. Its not 100% DD but its damn close in my books.

Re: is dolphin diving back in 1.22?

ive seen it throughout the patches.

dolphin diving never lent much tactical advantage, it was purely no skill losers who tried it.

those no skill losers were willing to waste hours learning to do it now.

I have a very talented clan m8 that could dolphin dive @ lightning speed, & shoot you on every up, & down

I posted about it in another forum that he pulled some "NEO" **** on me LOL

Oh, & I saw 1 other guy that was dolphin' spammin' like crazy tryin' to knife this guy, & then he saw me, & dolphin' dive bounded over to me, & "shanked" me

But I agree, the vast majority of dolphin divers, just looked silly, & would get shot lookin' like they were havin' a seizure

ps.You really didn't have to learn dolphin' diving, some ppl created a macro to do it

peace

Re: is dolphin diving back in 1.22?

Yes it is back, theres a way to do it, just not as effective as it was before 1.2. Damn some of you are clueless.

There will always be a way to do it till ea/dices lazy way of not adding in a animation for going prone as they had in BFV ends.

No, you can't dolphin dive.

Its funny because alot of people don't know the difference between dolhpin diving and bunny hopping, and there is one.

Bunnyhopping is generally hitting the ground, jumping, going prone and hitting the ground and repeat.

Dolphin diving was kinda like this, but it involved the player being prone at all times while in the air, and on the ground, and NO you CANT do this anymore....at least not without stopping and then starting again....

this is a fantastic example of how BF2's stat system is based mainly around time spent playing the game, not a true measure of how good or knowledgeable in terms of gamesense . For someone who is a captain , and also proceeds to say "hey look at my stats" you'd think you would understand the difference between prone jumping and bunny hopping. What you have described is NOT prone jumping, nor dolphin diving . It's called bunny hopping.

prone jumping my dear friend is when the enemy or friendly is jumping up and down in a constant prone position. Nothing more nothing less.

Ummm... Would you like me to get you a demo of me dolphin diving with the 1.22 patch?

Re: is dolphin diving back in 1.22?

You can still dolphin dive with relative ease

Jump double tap prone mid-air when you land hit crouch and jump to get back up instantly and jump then repeat the above as many times as nedded.

Only thing is you cannot shoot while doing it now.

You can still shoot in the air however if your on a roof you can run of the roof and shoot while falling as long as you dont jump of the roof it allows you to shoot for about 1 - 2 seconds while falling.

The straife prone crouch prone technique is usefull also

For those that dont like it and whine about it ....

Tell somebody that cares because I certainly dont

Yes I found out how to dolphin dive again instantly after I installed 1.2 :P

Re: is dolphin diving back in 1.22?

Indeed the 1.2 patch did not affect infantry the way they hoped.

They should have either added a timer on the jump function or made bullet deviation while jumping greater.

Less coding work for a better result.

I get killed A LOT from people going prone! I don't know if its dolphin diving, but its definately going prone.

This scenario happens over and over to me:

I'm already prone. I see enemy 1st, I start shooting at him. I'm lighting him up. He sees me, goes prone, fires a few shots. I'm dead!

That is very frustrating. I know that if I can just improve my shooting, that would never happen. But 90% of the time, as soon as that enemy goes prone, I'm getting killed.

The only time it doesn't happen is if my weapon is on single shot and I'm zoomed in. Using something like the L85A1 or the MG36 for the spec ops class.

If anyone has any tips, let me know. Otherwise, I'm campin' in a tank! LOL

Headshot is the most crucial thing to do while having a prone vs prone shooting. Always remember that and you have improved your BF2 skill by 2%

That's flop-firing... where everyone runs around doing bellyflops as soon as they see an enemy. It's silly but effective which is why so many people do it. If you see a support player you might as well aim for his shoelaces and start firing because that's where his head is about to be in .05 seconds.

I seen this prone thing, is kind of anoying, also prone spaming, when the go prone and stand up and prone again but do it very quick. I almost want to say that the person doing it is using a macro. And to all the awnser to this wannabee jumpers is the shotgun baby

After talking to a lot of the guys I game with, I found that a lot fo them don't right click to zoom when they get in a confrontation. I have made this a habit, always hit prone and right click, then fire in single shot. You'd be surprised how many spray and pray PKM whores you can kill when you are aiming.

Belly flopping, zooming, & full auto @ close range, short 2 round bursts (double taps of full auto) @ medium range, & single taps @ long range work best for me when using the PKM
