vehcle drops >> an improvement ??

[namvet70]

I haven't played BF2 as long as many of you. But I have noticed time and again, players will jump in the nearest available vehicle and speed off, leaving sometimes 2 or 3 players waiting for another vehicle to appear, or walking. I play this game to fight, not walk. It is just another tool the Commander can use. The Commader that uses it well, will win.

By the way, last night I saw para-dropped vehicles falling on buildings and everywhere else. If you are a commander use the zoom in feature and drop them on a road by your troops where they will do some good.

i think it is a good idea if it is used in the right way. meaning only use it when a SL calls for it and not just drop one every time the meter fills up

I realyl like the vehicle drop. I was playing SF for a couple hours last night on the same server. And it was realyl fun. The commander used them properly...sometimes. But when he would drop one on the occasional sniper, everyone got a laugh outta it. even the sniper lol.

I agree. It might have been nice if they ONLY allowed it by SL request. Or made the drop less accurate. I was testing lastnight and killed a couple clanmates with it.:laugh: on both sides.

Re: vehcle drops >> an improvement ??

Vehicle dropping adds a dynamic new tactic for commanders to use. They can drop vehicles for isolated players and squads to use to travel more quickly, and to be used as an anti-infantry turret in a chokepoint that would have been unreachable by the vehicle otherwise. It is, however, cheesy and stupid that they can destroy vehicles by landing on top of them. All EA has to do to nerf this is to prevent dropped cars from damaging vehicles they land on, and sliding off much like a supply drop would do. It's likely that this will be implemented in the hotfix EA is likely to release before AF.

It is a very usefull thing to have when you need transport. But when the idiot spams the place then it's all ****ed.

As has been said before, should've only been allowed by SL request.

Limiting car drops to Squad Leader request would slightly nerf it, but there would be ways around it. For instance, squad leaders could act as the commander's relays, requesting vehicle drops on top of camping tanks or on top of the enemy team's vacant aircraft. Most likely that kind of workaround would only be used in clan and tournament matches, where teams are closely organized, but it would probably nerf it fairly well for pubs.

I think it's pretty pointless. Except to use as an exploit to get cars up where they shouldn't be.

I agree, I was playing today with some ******* enemy commander and he kept dropping cars on our helicopters when they would spawn (falling cars kill the helo, probably jets too). He kept trying to drop them on my APC too.

Re: vehcle drops >> an improvement ??

I think it was a good implement as long as the commander doesnt drop them to you without a request and he doesnt do anything stupid.

Re: vehcle drops >> an improvement ??

Its a good idea for use to help out your team, but more than once ive been killed by a dropping humvee from enemy commander or friendly commander while sniping and honestly you can't REALLY expect me to hold down the E button the rest of my days playing bf2 in order to survive the dropping death.....

Re: vehcle drops >> an improvement ??

The new patch is only bad because of the the vehicle drop. Yeah, they get rid of the Sq-hop exploit and introduce a new one.

...and regarding the comment about people drove off by themselves or chopper with no one in it? Well, welcome to Ranked Servers. Next time make sure to thank them for not Tking you just because you happened to run in the vehicle's direction but with no intention to take it.

Re: vehcle drops >> an improvement ??

Personally, I don't think this was a well thought out feature.

So far it has been openly exploited to the furthest degree.

It is too much trouble just to be able to give a straded guy a lift.

I think it was a good implement as long as the commander doesnt drop them to you without a request and he doesnt do anything stupid.

actually you made a good recomendation for the fix to the blatant exploitation.

Make it so you can't drop a vehicle with out a request. It will also guarutee a commander point to boot.

Hey are you listen EA/DICE
