'Stupid' C130 idea not so stupid after all!

[Big-Ranger]

A couple of days ago I posted up the idea that mauybe EA/DICE should have included a heavy lift chopper (Chinook/Sea Knight) or even a C130 transport in the game.

(This was because teh 1.3 patch makes it slightly harder to assault island maps.)

Yes, you all laughed at the mad idea of it! :)

Well, YAH-BOO to you!

What did I find on the front of TOTALBF2 website today?

That's right - The AirMAPS Mod Update includes a C130 transport!



So I'm not so crazy after all!

If it was such a good idea, you'd see it applied in more than just one mod. I just see it as a bigger slower target with more people in it, worth more kills for the air jockeys.

Yes, but how many missiles would it take to go down? I say at least 3-4.

Actually with the easier award system and the apathy from this last patch (hopefully EA/DICE and come out with 1.31 pretty quickly), people are trying out mods.

The difference between now and BF1942, is there hasn't been something like DC implemented...the closest is PRIMM.

Hi wootoow...

couple of points:

First of all, there's teh matter of teh BF2 login movies - remember them?

these movies were made before teh original release of BF2 and include a number of 'features' that never made it into the final cut...

And guess what's in the movie - a great bit fat C130!

Secondly, the fact that somethings a target shouldn't preclude it from being included in teh game - EVERYTHING IS A TARGET IN BF2!

The advantages of being able to put two squads on teh ground at once would make teh chance worth taking...

After all - despite how good fly boys *think* they are, BlackHawks get past them now/ Intelligent teams would also give teh C130 fighter cover.

Keep this in mind for all of you that want realism.....

When is the last time in real life you saw a C-130 launch from a carrier? Most maps have carrier based planes. I don't see this happening unless it is included in a mod with land based air bases

No, i dont remember them. I bought the game the day it came out and deleted all those silly login movies the next day. Been almost a year since i've seen them. :)

yea. Its probably only going to be on maps with a US ground airforce base. Heh. Maybe it will carry a MOAB around.
