Pay attention, you might learn something:



It was part of the game, it should have been something that people learned to deal with, not something they cried about until it got changed for them because dying too many times in a fake world got them all flustered.



I agree, they were useless, but the result was that people just didn't use them. So either A) they could continue to not use them or B) DiCE could enable team mates to perform actions that would normally trigger them, but not trigger them anymore. They chose B, which I liked.



Incorrect, I thought it was fine as it was, in spite of the fact that I wasn't able to whore fish in a bucket with it on Mashtuur as much as I would have liked. A better solution would have been to install a few SAMs on Mashtuur.



Nope. Find all my posts. I don't cry about the game mechanics, because no matter what they are, the people who are better at exploiting the exploitable are the ones who will come out on top. I happen to think that playing normally works just fine, and I can play for hours at a time without having a thought about the need for EA/DiCE to nerf something in the game for me.



Truly you are a man before your time. GO FORTH AND TELL OF THIS REVELATION ON THE MOUNTAINS!



I'm crazy pickle mustache, gimme some candy?



....................................

LOL, man you're a ****in joke. Only thing I wanted from you is to stay constructive and not come off with how us whiners destroyed the game.
Now you're trying all you can to have valid points, you're missing the point. That's all I wanted anyway.
And now you're trying to make me look like a fool, like I'm saying all these oh so obvious things that even a kid could find out but actually this was a result of you thinking otherwise.

Dude, you're tiresome and I will leave it to that.

omfg SHUT UP ABOUT THE GRENADES!!!! we are all fine without them, but the second u get out of the jet and experience ground combat, u decide that grenades r overpowered and u want to change it. truthfully, i have NEVER heard anyone but u complain about grenades. i know that in the begginning of karkand, there is some spamming, but who gives a sh*t. if its bad, find another server.

Grenades are annoying as **** but that's because some people know how to use them. It's not anyone's fault.

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

All this crap about grenades from someone who have what, approximately 70-75 percent of your kills in armor?

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

i agree and disagree with most of the comments in this thread, the grenade spamming is annoying, GL is too but i've learnt to live with it. I'd rather have it stay the same now and get used to it, rather than changing the game dynamics again for the upteenth time

3. Placing icons on the map when a SM asks for something from a SL. (artillery needed etc) - this goes along with another request of mine for more accurate commander spotting - when he spots something PUT IT ON THE MAP. Sometimes the game doesn't. Like:

"Enemy Helicopter Spotted"
[I look at the whole minimap - I can't see it, the icon is NOT there]

that is the only thing i'd want in the new patch, well i say only thing i'd want a patch that actually fixes the bugs, with that one i've quoted as being the most important imo

too many times im flyin my chopper and hear my Commander/teammate shout out enemy helicopter/AA vehicle only to open up my minimap and nada, nothing showing up is that supposed to happen? its a bug right?

the single most annoying bugin the game imo

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

why, beacuse we like to see changes that would make a good game one of the best ever

after 2142 is released, Dice prob will not update BF2 anymore, it happened to 1942 and BFV. one can only hope that DCON will be as good as Desert Combat was.

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

I'm sorry but for the sake of balance infantry should no be able to carry what amounts of handheld artillery without a delay and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. One player spamming is bad enough but get 2 or 3 or 4 or more players doing the same thing and it ruins the time for all of the skilled players trying to have a real gun battle without being forced to stand up and sprint away from a nade thrown a mile away every 2 seconds.

I know a lot of players posting in this thread depend on the ease of grenade spam/claymore spam/noob tube point blanking for kills but like I said I promise once you start using your rifle you'll enjoy much more rewarding and satasfying kills.

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

The only thing i agree on is balancing the j-10.
The nads are fine being spamed every where and just shoot the claymore runners before they put one down. And if a guy kills you with a n00b tube, fight fire with fire and n00b tube him back and he might stop:p .
Any ways NERF THE WHINING!!

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

What maps are the granades being spammed? Karkand and RTJ.

Enough said.

Go play 24/7 Dragon Vally. Mostly 99% of the time you will never see it.

IMO, 'nades are just fine. Learn to adapt. Its not cripling gamplay is it?


Things I'd like to see fixed are certain bugs like being locked in a/as the squad (leader), unable to leave the squad, unable to spawn on the squad leader. The only remedy to this, I have found, is to rejoin the server.


Alot of the others i haven't seen for some time; Like repeating gun noise with out firing(although I have heard it still happens)
Red/BLue tag glitch, HAven't seen it since before 1.3, and then very seldom.


Another thing which I can't figure out is, once 1.4 came out I have been having trouble with my modem. Wilst playing Bf2 I sometimes get disconnected from the server. So I go to check my modem and instead of 4 solid lights only the top three are solid.
It could be a lot of things going wrong. And I don't want to blame it on BF2 but what else could it be? Its most likely my ISP crapping out(comcast).
But it never did it before 1.4 and it doesn't do it with any other program or games.

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

1.5 should fix everything that 1.1 through 1.4 screwed up. Just go back to 1.0 and all is good.

1) Grenades.

I didn't read your whole post yet, but If I look at my hud and the UAV shows a more than two or three people in one location, you better believe I am chunking grenades at them all day long.

It was part of the game alright, but was it intended? Probably not, what gives you the right to determine how a game is sup post to be played? Nothing at all, it's up to the developers, and if people like Planewhore and me see something wrong, we will voice our concerns and propose fixes.
You have the ability to counter our arguments just the same, I just wish people like yourself would learn to control that whole knee jerk reaction thing you got going on whenever a complaint is voiced, which usually comes down to "OMFG WHINER WTF U GOT PWNED SO STFU"

Your whole "you should just deal with it" argument is invalid, battlefield games have never been perfect from launch, and bf2 is no exception, it only makes sense that people want to see it fixed.

Nades -

I don't really have any problems with grenades, they're actually pretty bad. Also, spam is hardly a problem in any map except Karkand / Jbad, which kinda blows for the 12 other maps if grenades are tweaked because of 2 maps.

I think spam in those 2 maps is exaggerated, because ammo is readily available (craploads of supports funneled into small area), and 10 people cram constantly in pretty enclosed place, which you can throw nades in from safety.

I don't think they're going to change maps, so I guess they possibly could either have ammo bags resupply no nades. Then you don't throw all 4 right away, because you don't know when you're going to get new ones, like it is in other maps, where supports are scarce.. I don't like the idea of lowering amount of nades at all, enemies are of endless supply, and in bunch of maps, it can take awhile to get from one place to another. Maybe if that one nade was twice as powerful, but I don't see that happening. It's after all, a big black ball flying through air, giving you 5 seconds to dodge it, and the guy who throws it also yells automatically that nade is on the way.

Claymores -

Make it take 5 seconds of standing (/crouching/proning) still to set up, and make them vanish after the sniper is killed (killed = not revived during that 15 sec period). That should do away with charging headlong into fray with one, and would give you option to remove the claymores by finding and killing the sniper

Tube -

I'm pretty indifferent about that. It's hard to balance (obvious after several patches), and right now it's powerful, but not dominant, so I think they'd just better leave it alone. I don't think they actually even did anything to it in 1.4.

I wouldn't mind if they made it a bit more reliable vs. light vehicles


Also as a sidenote, I think that way nades and tube are now, they kinda keep medic in check with possible 1 hit-kill, and actually promote variation in classes. Also, sans 4 nades, most of classes couldn't touch a humvee or vodnik.

Re: PlaneWhore's top 4 BF2 changes that need to be in the 1.5 patch

To be honest, the kids that reply :

"OMFG WHINER WTF U GOT PWNED SO STFU"

are not really worth the time of day replying to as it only lowers the quality of the thread. There's a massive difference between whining and constructive criticism and the majority of people on this thread aren't clever enough to distinguish the two.

If you've got beef with someone's ideas then put up a counter argument rather than the inane: "OMFG WHINER WTF U GOT PWNED SO STFU" It only makes you look like a spoiled, nerdy kid.

Over the last year DICE have quite clearly let us know that certain "implementations" weren't as they were supposed to be. They've made changes (some good, some bad) and we deal with it - it's a process almost every game released goes through. There's a certain irony when you see the so called "anti-whiners" themselves spending their time on a forum whining about the whining, lol.

Yes grenades are annoying when spammed repeatedly, yes the J-10 is unbalanced, yes the medic class is overpowered, and yes S2A sites are hopeless. It's clear and obvious - just play BF2 to find out. Will DICE do anything? Probably not but it would be nice. Is it critical in the long term? Probably not, with the imminent arrival of 2142.
