whats worse than a empty BH?
when you are MEC and you have a TV missile on a full 1 and just after you fire that blackhawk crashes into a UAV thingy, now i hate that

Man, who remembers the good old days when the BH guns just tore everything up... good times.

Key about Blackhawks is fly when there are both a jet and attack chopper in the air. Enemy jets/attack helis will make those there priority instead of the blackhawk. What I sometime use on cleansweep in matches is take over the Blackhawk solo and then tell my squad to spawn, works better.

Im always sitting on the carrier telling people "Hop in!", "Get in!" while im in the BH, but they never listen.

thats what makes flying right at the people having "e" wars with others makes it very satisfying because when you ram them they'll actually get in and by the time the realize and hit E again to get out - your over open water.

meh, I prefer the BH over anything. It doenst matter that I cant score uB3r-l33t points with it anymore, Its awsome to just pick up a squad drop them at a point and go back to the carrier and await another squad. If Im SL I always have my squad do HALO jumps over the flag while I hover 500+ meters up providing a valid spawnpoint

Ah exactly, a fellow decent BH pilot. 95% of players won't even get an altitude of 100+ and inevitably get shot to pieces.

The Blackhawk is such an awesome transport helicopter that it pisses me off when I see one guy (not a squadleader) take off by himself in the helicopter only to dump it when he gets near a base. Even more annoying is when I'm piloting it and I'll sit there on the carrier with about 4 guys around me who are just waiting for one of the more "exciting" air vehicles. That or they are shooting at me so they can pilot...

1. Connection problems
2. CTD's
3. EA and DICE in general

Re: Is there anything more irritating than an empty Blackhawk?

Know what annoys me?
Wasting my time spamming "get in" and having ignorant people just ignore you instead of saying no, even though they are all stood around the BH (probably ALL waiting for a plane/cobra, like they will all fit in one). You spam and wait for a couple of minutes and then when you go, someone always comes up with "hey, I need a ride!", so I have to go round the block to pick them up

that happens to me all the time

The problem with the BH, or technically any transport vehicle, is risk. When it's in the air, it's a big flying target that cant really defend itself. Secondly, most of them are flown by people who shouldnt be anywhere near one. If I see a pilot in a BH telling me to get in, I'm very reluctant to get in, since most of the time it usually ends up with the entire helo crashing into the ground, crashing into a building, or being shot down because the helo decided to take off during a strafing run.

The least risky way of doing it is to be a squad leader, take it out alone, and when ready, tell your squad to spawn in on you and bail. This way if you get shot down, it's only one person dead, rather than an entire squad.

The same really goes with land vehicles. 3-4 people in one humvee/vodnik, one AT rocket and you've just lost all of them.

This constantly pisses me off to no end. What are you going to do with an EMPTY FREAKING TRA?NSPORT HELI?! Also, people that drive off in their jeeps without bothering to let some gunners is. The lack of common sense on the battlefield amazes me.
