BF2 is now a 'slow' game...

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

you guys are all forgetting the KEY point to this argument.


Yes, you might be "hurt" by the removal of this, or the nerf rather of this squad hopp'n deal. But the reality is........so arnt your enemies.

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

Who said anything about skill ffs you smacktard, where did i say that. It's the only bit of teamwork you can get in this pis*ing game most of the time, and it was removed.

Also, i didnt see it as if it was a bug/glitch etc. I thought it was a cool idea and especially with the power the commander as it was damn right needed. Now the game is totally and uterly unbalanced. You need to know how to glitch to even have a chance now lol.

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

Anyway, squad hopping isnt the point. The point is its instability and bugs. You wouldnt accept anything else if it was 100%, BF2 is lucky to make 70% complete product in its current state!!! And you iidiots choice to be shafted by EA/DICE still.

This thread is more to the point, Soon you wont have servers play on you idiots when people dont want to host them!!!!

I agree... EA should have fixed more bugs... won't disagree with you there..

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

to me dwarf - that seems like an oxymoron. if you're a mobile spawn poin then doesn't that intrinsicly make you part of the game and in some cases more valuable than others?

Now you are just hammering on semantics...

You know what I meant.

And god forbid if you didn't know what I meant, then you are further removed from the acutal topicality of what is going on then I had previously gathered.


Just in case you're the latter of the two: In the current state to be an effective SL you need to hide your ass back out of the action and do nothing other then keep your a$$ alive. If you find that fun, then by god good for you. But most people play this game with the intent to shoot other people, cap flags, get some points (and if you think people don't play this game for points you're an idiot.) Being a SL in the new 1.3 order doesn't preclude doing any of those things.

The simple fact now is that on an Assault type map, the attacking team is at a huge disadvantage. On karkand, and sometimes even sharqi and dragon valley, it is almost impossible for the attacking team to breakthrough and capture a rear flag.

At some flags in certain situations (heavily defended) you are right the SL has to hide and not join the actions.

Though there are many times where like mentioned the SL can cover his squad and get kills. AT on certain maps is a good SL kit, you can take out armor/helos from a distance.

When I am SL, I stay back and I still get 30-50 pts per round.

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

Back to that **** again, mate, levels like karkand, when mec defend, there job as just been made 1000 times easier, it was pretty well balanced in 1.22, now its so unbalanced.

The point comes down to 2 things

1. THE GAME IS SO UNBALANCED NOW ITS UNTRUE!!!!

2. THE MORE SERIOUS ISSUE HERE!!!! THE GAME IS 80% COMPLETE!!! It's RIDDLED WITH BUGS, SERVER COMPANY's HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE LACK OF SUPPORT/BAD CODING FROM EA/DICE!!!

Jeez, this game is dead and buried, i give it another year till its bf what??????

people that play for points are idiots. i play because its entertainment. its not like i get paid for getting more points.

20 years down the road, i'm not going to remember this game for the points i earned. plain and simple.

Not really, those maps there are a ton of points, there is ALWAYS an open or lightly defended one...

The problem I see on most pub matches with these maps where one team dominates, is mainly because everyone goes to the action. Few are willing to take the time to defend a back area or move to attack a back area.

Karkand... if 1 or 2 squads go up the middle with armor, 1-2 goes to the W side and head for the suburbs and another goes to the E side of the map to hit the back points... one of those flags will fall if not 2.

Pretty much same with Sharqi, if the squads spread out a bit more, flags turn and fast...

Every time a team gets dominated on those maps, it is generally because all the squads bunch up for arty and the helos...

off point but just had to put that in...

I play to shoot people in the face, and that in turn equals points. *shrug*

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

i like how you who are for this change always come with these beautiful idyllic argues "oh the game must be free of bugs" "Oh now its no more lameness anymore!!", but have really nothing insightsfull to say. what do you gain from defending it, ya think ea will send you rewards? No they dont give a **** about anyone

well thats my point (no pun intended)

people don't play for points - points are just a side-effect of playing.

i don't worry about stats and it makes my gaming experience that much better.

No I defend it because I think squad cycling its a lame tactic and not how I or I think EA/DICE thought of when creating the squad feature.

When I take a point and have my squad defend it (which is hard to get a good sqaud that will).

I would like to be able to reasonably defend it. The mobile spawn point is a benefit for an attacking squad. The fact that the defenders can kill the SL and stop the immediate threat is the check to the attackers benefit if you will.
