BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

I played a bit with the new version. Frankly, the flow of battle just makes more sense now. That's my initial impression anyways. You can actually beat off an attack in a realistic way. As men die the forces peter out. It just makes sense, and feels like it will reward good tactical play.

- FOCUS ON BUG FIXES, NOT NEW FEATURES!

agreed, except balance is important aswell.

- - Claymores should have a way to be disabled

ya, a grenade.


one important thing dice is overlooking is that the different handling characteristics of the jets is affecting the flares and aa missiles differently, this is really bad, especially when its jsf vs f35. so what i am saying is leave the handling characteristics of the planes and missiles alone. just make the missiles detonate within a radius around the plane and make the flares work!

I am getting a little tired of having to stop you people from insulting each other.
Next insult directed at another poster wins a ban.

I wish the AA was a bit stronger to give the ground pounders a little bit better chance. even if 1 missle did the kill and you had the 2nd on stand by. when you play maps like oman were the mec bomber just rapes the ground with its attack. Make the missle's a bit faster to keep up with the J10's speed and agility. when you see a pilot going 78-1 then its time to tweak something to make them think twice before they make that same route run again.

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Well, Bush can't have another term, but EA will continue to make bug-ridden games until we stop buying them...(Never)

True. But it would probably be best to keep political discussion out of this thread.

Lets face it, we’ve all unknowingly become beta testers for gameplay changes intended for BF2142.

In BF2142 they already fixed this mess of a problem with the spawn beacon that a squad leader can deploy so that they too can be a part of the action, they screwed over the BF2 player base, 2142 comes out and they expect everyone to go “oh, what an innovative feature they added”.

Yeah, well squads itself was innovative in BF2. This spawn baecon makes new fresh feature in bf2142 and you can't blame them using this for new game.
It also makes sense more in new BF cos SL also gets a drone.
So all in all you're not being reasonable, no offense.
They can't help it that just ability to spawn on SL wasn't enough for the greedy mass that call themself respectfull gamers.

[...] They can't help it that just ability to spawn on SL wasn't enough for the greedy mass that call themself respectfull gamers.

[...] So only things I still want are :
1. Able to only invite people that are not in squads yet
2. Squad Members can only spawn on the SL [...]

No offense too but i don't think you are in the position to call someone greedy

While you seem to prefer the more realistic / tactical way i like it arcade style. Whats your problem with making this a server side setting so we BOTH are happy ? (not talking about that it took almost a year for them to fix this "exploit" by disabling 2 buttons when one is dead - i would lmao if it weren't this sad - which normally takes 5 minutes max)

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

Understood, but squad hopping has been in for 10 months and JUST NOW it's being taken out? Why not make it a server side OPTION so the owner could decide if he wanted it on his server or not?

This isnt' entirely true. Squad hoppin' had only gained major popularity in about the last 2 months. Sure folks were doing it before, but really, aside from the last 2 months TOPS, I never even seen squad hoppin being used.

Teamwork has went down considerably since day one of the game.
You guys remember your first 2 months on BF2? Full squads. VOIP being used. A medic, a support, an engineer, AT, on one squad, with more.
AS squad hopping became 90% popular, fully staffed squads became a rarity. I mean you could spawn with whatever you wanted to......not out of neccessity. I mean...it dont matter.
Face facts. Game was EASIER with squad hoppin'. Now it got harder.
Whoever whines about the game becomming harder for them....i mean you really gotta wonder.
Also,
BF2 was built almost entirely around the thought of using extreme teamwork.
In fact, clans were a big focus surrounding the game. Its ironic that now it seems clans want the easy way out, less thought process on the teamwork side, etc...etc.
Think about it.
Your squad rushes my flag. Im the only defender. Out of pure gaming luck, i kill 5 of you. Now im down to killing the last guy, however he is playing hide and seek for all of 16 seconds, why his whole crew respawns in the same area.......I mean perhaps i got lucky killing the first lot of you, but i wont get lucky again. I just dont see the sport in it is all. Seems alittle too easy.
And i would think clans, above all else, would be for the harder deal. Not the easy way out.

Re: BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

No, most clans like it easy, if its challanging that means they might lose, losing is.. 4 teh nubs.
