Combat requires very little skill?

[KHAN]

My gaming on BF2 slowed down a couple of months ago and i've been playing very little since and last night while having a few games i realised Combat has been dumbed down and balanced so much that it's more luck than anything else now.

I can no longer dive through windows to get out of tight spots, i cant jump and fire, I cant even jump and grab hold of the rope for the climbing hook! and no matter which weapon you choose now it has almost the exact same chance of killing than any other. Hardly any aim necessary.

I still like the game, hoping one of these mods will give me some intense combat, at the moment this game is balanced so that noobs and idiots can play easier. Boo freaking hoo.

Would like to add that changing squad spawning is going to make it even worse, ok some people abuse it, like some people abused jumping and firing and some people abused base raping. You dont have to pull all our teeth out just because some people are obsessed with sweets. The reason I like it is because trying to get somewhere secretly with your squad EA is pritty freaking difficult when you got some hand of god artillary that requires less skill than your programmers have.

I dont believe removing exploits dumbs down the skill level to mere luck.. I think your getting pwned fair and square. boo freakin hoo

Guy, you are 50% right.
the only thing they overnerfd the game
example: c4.

I just only want to trow c4 over a venche, and now you can only throw it 1 meter .

I though soldiers had some stronger arms then that.
but jumping and throwig c4 was a little to much.

also don't silly somebody stats because
you have only 1.034 kill/death.

and I have avarge 1.77 kill/death and with guns 1.71

Im apalled you would make such acusations. my balls are quite hairy.
Further more I might be new to bf2 but im not new to gaming. You seemed to have gotten your stats by using cheap tricks frowned on by dice/EA not to mention the gaming comunity in general. In conclusion, now that you are forced to play with nothing more than skill on an equal playing field you cry no fair and desregard others skill as luck.

Man up and play some bf2 !

your stats suck... and you can't aim. For someone who plays Karkand and is a medic for so much time, your points really don't reflect that. Learn to play and not get owned. Quit whining.

We have people complaining that the game is too balanced now...? Whatever next?

up next... people complaining that the graphics are too pretty and it distracts them.

Re: Combat requires very little skill?

Lol Zef... That is something I've said before, actually! Not as a complaint, but I recall saying to a mate that I'd died on Warlord because I was too busy admiring the graphics after a major system upgrade allowed me to run everything maxed instead of mostly low with the odd medium at 800x600 res... The difference is pretty amazing.

But that was my own fault. I was gazing at the cobblestones and not looking at the Insurgent running across the cobblestones towards me... I wouldn't complain about it.

I think the next complaint will be that all the characters look too realistic, and could one side maybe not be green or have six heads or something so that it's easier to tell friend from foe... lol

Well with an accuracy of 18%, there's not much to be said, is there... Almost understandable if he uses LMG exclusively, perhaps, but with assault rifle as his favourite weapon, you'd expect accuracy somewhere in the mid-twenties to be reasonable, IMO... My overall accuracy is 25%, and I see most people with their stats on display here are slightly higher than that... 18% is not good, IMO, no wonder he thinks it's all about luck as to whether he kills anyone - it's actually luck if he hits anyone! Lol

Actually the reason the game was changed is because people were not able to keep up with some of the other players. I am all for a balanced game, but sometimes it makes no sense whatsoever when a change is made. I know I will never get an answer for this, but why is EA hell-bent on making changes to the things that work while ignoring the most obvious bugs?

You do not call this dumbing the game down?

How about this:

Why are they making Coop mode now and not in the beginning? I mean, if you are all getting tired of having your ass handed to you by someone that has more time invested, you should ahve asked for this back then.

The original poster (KHAN) also stated that he's been playing very little in the last few months...Right away the trolls come out to rip up a fair post that makes sense. If you started playing BF2 after the 1.20 patch was realeased then you ahve no idea WTF anyone is talking about really...

His post doesn't make sense. He's complaining about how the game is too balanced (wtf is that, btw?) and says that combat is all about luck now... No-one's appeared here to troll, they've just pointed out that he might fair a little better in combat if he could hit what he was shooting at.

Your point about him not having played in a few months is a fair one - the patches have changed the way the game is played... but he has to do what everyone else has had to do: adapt, and play the game the way it works now. If his v1.03 tactics aren't working, perhaps he should learn to fight in the 1.22 world - or just wait until it all changes again for the 1.3 world, where he'll be on a level playing field with everyone else as we all adapt again.

To say that combat is all about luck because the game has too much balance is ridiculous, whatever patch you're used to (I've been playing since 1.01 btw, so I do know what the previous versions were like, when LMGs didn't own etc).

dude i dont care im happy with how the game is.
ive being playin it since the demo was released an ive got most of my rewards when they were still hard to get.
so i dont care as ive nearly got every thing i can get(nothing else i can get as ive got to put hrs in now on 2 of my kits).
there seems to be more new people comin to the game that havent played from the release of the game,
just to start complaining about crap.
i mean what would they be like if they played the game from the release date?
they'd never play the game as it would be to hard for them.
i for one dont think they should have changed the requirements for any of the rewards as a massive amount of us got em the original way.
the only one i would change would be the 3.1 ribbon cause that one is nutts but hey its part of the game an i live that.
people always just cry when there gettin ownd an cant understand why.
explaination PLAY THE GAME MORE(if you have the time).
if you cant get more time then simple just change the way you play the game to get the benifit from it.
people should just play the game or dont play the game.
theres been so many people crying over things that the game has had more changes than doctor who.
leave teh game alone an just play it,
if you get ownd just take a deep breath an get over it.
