More Jets in BF2

Re: More Jets in BF2

hell yeah!!! A map just for dog fights would be great

There already is one.


Wake airshow..


And IMO it is so boring.. people just get a lock, spam 6 missles.. then reload... so boring. No one even does cannons only.. or anything.

Re: More Jets in BF2

The maps would have to be HUGE with a some type of air control because if you havent seen, Wake with all four friendly jets is a disaster waiting to happend.

Also if this was to happend how about making jets faster, or feel faster, because to me they feel slow.

Re: More Jets in BF2

This is stupid, remember that air-only map on Desert Combat? I can't remember the name... which pretty much sums up how popular it was.

Yes I do, No Fly Zone, and that map is still very popular, and one of mine and alot of people's favorite map....dont really know what your talking about

Actually one on ones with pilots who know how to evade lock, and both guys in the same plane is very fun. Spamming 6 missles wont work, as you need to time them for flares. It can be quite challenging to get a lock on a good pilot when the other pilot's only goal is to avoid it.

Re: More Jets in BF2

I can think of one interesting possibility in terms of all jets: insane fog at a specific height, with the remainder of the map being minimal open air, canyons and regular terrain with objects placed in such a way that you would have to maneuver through them skillfully to survive. All of this while dogfighting.

Otherwise, you might as well just play Wake Air Show...

PS. The same concept should apply to all-heli maps: the difference being that more open space could be allowed because AA would be a non-issue. In jet situations, random AA would f*cking tear you apart because of the way Dice coded this mess of a game.

Doing cannon only on Wake Airshow would be like K/P for vanilla

Though seriously, the map size really cannot support much more planes ... maybe 8 times more, then it would get fun.

Re: More Jets in BF2

I only bring this point up as in the Sow mod there will be two all out air maps, getting your oppinions on the matter was my goal here and i have. If you dont like the air maps you stay away from them. as for the 10 or more planes, these planes arnt 10 j-10's -Vs- 10 F-18's this is a multi plane mod map, im talking Tornado, euro fighter, a-10 thunderbolt, migs, Su's im talking all 10 planes will be different, all 10 planes will have different handling and different strengths and weaknesses. so its up to you and your skills to make them work.

and the map sizes will be increased for a better effect for the ammount of planes that will actually be flying.

And im not talking about another game here, people want them in BF2, not going off to play flight simulators so please spare us the views on that because its an invalid point.

Re: More Jets in BF2

It wouldnt work, once one side gets shot down enough, the other side will just bomb the **** out of the airfields, no amount of TK machin.. er, stingers is going to stop that.

Re: More Jets in BF2

yeah, we need more jets!!

I need to get my plane ribbon, and never really fly planes because;

1)I never get to one intime, and once someone has a jet they never let it go!

2)If i get one i usually get TK'd for it!

Re: More Jets in BF2

having air only maps is almost as dumb as having infantry only maps.

ahh yeah, I remember that map as well. Loved playing it, it was a lot of fun getting lucky every now and then shooting down some of the -E- pilots (remember them?). I also loved playing on GOG El AL jets only, the best part about that map, you can't bail out.
Back to the OP question, my answer is NO.

Re: More Jets in BF2

Hmm realize 16 jets @ map size of wake island, you would take off the and instantly you'll be locked by 5 planes ;] If map could be at least 5 times bigger that would make sense, but thank god bf2 isn't combat flight simulator ;]

Re: More Jets in BF2

I'd like to see a variety of more jets, not so much more in a map, but more classes of them.

I'd also like to see a variable to allow maybe instead of a default F-18 when you have control of an airstrip but maybe an F-15 option to put when there instead or a Helicopter, much Like BF:V had the variable to do that... That'd be awesome as a patch I think... a Few more vehiciles and some more Jets or planes and some more armor or armored transports...

A Vehicle Booster pack would be great by me.

Re: More Jets in BF2

Does anyone else think that BF2 needs more jets.

Reason 1# So every player that wants a jet can get one.

Reason 2# The main selling point of view are the jets, people love them, people have a vision of mass dog fights in the sky, and it would be pretty damn cool, about 10 or more jets flying around like mentalists trying to shoot anything that moves, insted of 4 jets per map even less sometimes which, can i say will lead to mass baserape, at least with 10 or more jets in the sky you have more chance of everything, taking off, actually shooting something down, and improoving your skill, not to miss it will be the best fun you've ever experienced on bf2.

what are your views on the matter.

Simply put: On vanilla maps, they would need to make bigger maps with much more flying room. As is, the maps were constructed for all forms of combat. And contrary to your belief, BF2's selling point was not only digfighting. As much as you and I like to fly, I also like to kill ground troops, and if everyone is flying..well, you get the picture.

That, and this is not a flight sim, and the jets don't act as they do in real life..so..unless there is a complete overhaul of the engine itself, this is one of the stupidest suggestions I've ever read.

PEACE
