Patch V1.3 at BFCON - squadhopping still removed

Re: Patch V1.3 at BFCON - squadhopping still removed

How about everyone stops whinging? Play a mod if you don't like the changes. If you really want to squad hop (an exploit from the start) then spawn, pick the squad, kill yourself. It just costs 15 seconds and 2 points to do it now, that's all, and if you really want you could jump from a building to save the points. Unless BF2 announce 'We're removing the weapons from all the classes' I don't think I'll stop playing.

They talk about imbalance issues/exploiting rising in squad hopping yet they seem to fail to see the imbalance issues with the super medic (ffs medic!?) weapons/the J10.

BF2 already has hardly any teamwork, this will most likely kill it off totally. Maps like Wake will be even harder for USMC (especially if they dont fix the J10)

Agreed, nothing like killing the feature that helped promote teamplay, and one that pretty much every clan took part in.

"Cycling" a squadleader in a squad when the SL dies has nothing to do with teamwork. In fact, after 1.3 you most likely need more teamwork to keep your squad up and running. The role of a good squadleader becomes more important in BF2 now.

I feel sorry for clans if they're "supremacy" is damaged after the removal of this exploit, though

Its not an exploit its was in the game deiliberatly an exploit is glitching into a bulding imo.

The devs didn't want you to get into this building, so it's an exploit.
And the dev's didn't want you to be able to choose from 8 different mobile spawn points obviously, so it's an exploit too.

Exploit doesn't mean "everyone who uses it is evil", it means "the players have found ways to use some system in a way the devs didn't anticipate in the development." And this is how it is obviously, if you consider all facts and how inconvenient it actually is to change squads often (but people still do it because of the advantage they gain).

And its took them 10 months to figure it out ive been at it since day one so that sounds like crap to me (im not having a go at you im just saying it sounds very weird that to me)

I understand the change might bother you, but, change happens. Progression happens. Complain about it, go with it, don't go with it, just understand that it shall continue to happen as long as people call for it and THEY are in the vocal majority.

Well, if you're not willing to adapt. Quit.
{WP}Paas

Vocal majority? How many people have signed the petition to remove squad hopping? 30, if that? Now, how many have signed the petition to keep squad hopping at least as a server side setting? 4000+

I'm willing to adapt, I just think its a stupid idea that's all. I've adapted with every patch thats come out. Although I can't wait to play commander in some pub and spam hummers and vodnicks all over the map.

Re: Patch V1.3 at BFCON - squadhopping still removed

6309 people have signed the petition so far.

Re: Patch V1.3 at BFCON - squadhopping still removed

LOL comparing the numbers from a petition which got posted on news sites with a vote in some single forum, nice....

Never trust a statistic you haven't manipulated yourself.

I can do the same:
"Over 60.000 people play BF2 all over the world, but only 6309 have signed that petition.
That's only ~ 10%"

lolz and to consider most people who signed it, are the most active players around.
why don't you start petition, to see who against it.

I will say 200 people would only sign your petition

Re: Patch V1.3 at BFCON - squadhopping still removed

Well if they do decide to keep squad hopping out, BF2 is just going to be America's Army, only differnece is there are vehicles. BF2 will be boring w/o squad jopping b/c it will slow the pace of the game waaaayyyyy down. Yes, it will be more strategic and tactical, but most are going to get bored with it and just waste their lives on another game. OMG, I just thought of something...BF2 w/o squad hopping is going to be just like Warrock, and that game sux. And if you have played that game before you will know what I mean. Well thats all I have to say about this subject.
