Hiding snipers from UAVs

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

ah theres no bigger rush in bf2 than being the last one left with no spawn points, and actually capping a flag. :p

I have capped a few flags when we had none, & it looked hopeless

Once I was the last man on my team in Wake (PLA), & almost capped a flag after bailing out of a J-10, but got killed just a fraction of a second before the flag turned

That would have been a story to tell lol

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

I dont think hiding snipers fromt eh uav is the answer, its really irritating when you get just one camping kid left with no flags left and hes just sitting doing nothing. It just delays the end of the round and frustrates both teams.

As for restricting the number of snipers, errm well maybe. It would probably work better if there was an option for servers to enforce restricting all kits to a specific percentage. The kit percentages could either be turned off or enforced to customised predefined settings eg a standard BF2 server would eb somethign like:-

40% of the team go assault
5% sniper
5% spec ops
10% Support
20% Medics
10% Support
5% anti tanks
5% engieers

U would have to use EA predefined settings to stop people manipulating stats and absuing the system though and having "no sniper" servers for instance.

its never gonna happen though. I dont think we will be seeing many, if any more patches that add/modify the gameplay now.

I'd love to see alot more engineers and anti-tanks though... They are the less used kits in the game

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

You do realise you've got support 10% down twice?

I was about to say Engineer is one of my favourite kits, but I just checked BF2s, and I've got 95 hours as AT, and 58 as Engineer.

And the funny thing? I HATE playing as AT. I only play it when no one else is. I've spend something like a quater of my entire time playing this game, playing a kit I don't even LIKE!

Anyway, that pump shotgun up close? I love it. Anti tank mines? When your idiot team mates don't drive over them, free kills. The wrench? Free repair points, every so often.

Love that kit.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

The original pre game releases indicated that the special forces class would be invisible to the scanner and UAV to allow pentration into the main bases..

Pity it was dumped.....

Where'd you see this? Because UAV was never originally developed for BF2 was it? Wasn't it integrated with patch 1.2?

UAV has been w/ us from the start, but I do remember spec-op was supposed to be invisible to scan, but not UAV, or something like that

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

That's quite a reasonable idea, which would force the snipers to look for some more serious cover.
If it comes to being static, almost everyone admits that not moving is as good as being dead. That's the whole point! Either you choose to hide from the UAV/scan for a minute and risk being eye-spotted by some player, cause your'e not moving - or you risk being spotted by the UAV/scan, but you run away from your hot cover and find another one.

AND GOD PLEASE! make them claymores destructible!

The are...

Just like AT Mines. An engineer can disable a Claymore with a wrench. Trust me, I do it all the time. If some sniper is pissing me off, I don't try to snipe him, I sneak up on him with an engi kit and knife the bastard.

Ah, I read somewhere else that it was with 1.2. Cause I bought the game a few months after it came out, but didn't actually start playing until about 5 months ago, because I used to hate it, didn't understand it. Don't actually remember any UAV...

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

commander mode should be removed altogether IMO

it just kills the gameplay.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

I have not read though all 9 pages, but adding my tuppence:

I do not play Sniper anymore because of the problems of the Commander Arty and C-Arty me, as well as UAVing me and spotting me that way, which is not why I play it, I try to take out defenders so that my team can take flags, instead, I am having to engage in CQB, which a pistol is useless for.

oh and BTW - Ghillie is Scottish for man, and Scottish wardens made the suits and used them to hide and then stop poachers, during WW I the British used the Scots to train them in sniper tactics, as well as copy the Ghillie suit.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

One time i puted UAV on a Base becuase the Flag turned whit but no one did show upp and then the flag where suddenly belonging to the other team. i gues this is just a bug, but it somethign theys shoud fix

Lovin' the grammar, pleasure to read lol

Yeah I've had the same thing as commander, placing a UAV on a spot that I was trying to cap back, no one showing in view. Then I got shot...


I've done this before to 2 people capping my base, spawned and shot one then jumped n shot the last two, all the time it took their UAV to spin over my red blip on the minimap..

So maybe that's what happened to me...



Anyway, Snipers on UAV, if your a good enough sniper who cares. Your number one advantage over people is firing over a long distance at perfect accuracy. so stay the hell back at that distance then!
Second is high damage, works well when you miss the head to hit chest, crank pistol pop :evil:

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Personally, I think that limiting snipers is a bad idea. The UAV thing does sound good though. But it does have its drawbacks. Its like having an invisible army. So I think that it should stay the same. You can run but you can't hide.:shoot: :nerr:

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

They should remove the sniper kit. I hate it.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

What we need is more engineers to cut of the claymores :P

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

When I'm sniping for Chinese on Wake I can see when and where the arty is pointing too and I hide in my bunker, though splash damage soemtiems gets me.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Hiding snipers from UAV's doesn't sound bad, at least try it out. The only restrictions should be a limit on how many snipers a team can have.
