Artillary Ruins The Game

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

Im playing Wake, and all I ever die from is artillary. I might die 12 times in a round, and its rarely ever through anyone actually shooting me with a rifle.

This is almost unbelievable, you must be so tough. :p
On Wake I mostly get killed by planes, choppers, tanks, light vehicles, grenades and bullets (not necessarily in this order).
If artillery is your most hated enemy, spawn as SpecOps and kill the thing! I bet you’ll get a lot of fun in the process.
Or you can pay attention and run away when you see the red circle on the radar or hear the sounds of incoming rounds from their direction. That’s what I do.

Are you really being serious? You want me to move out of the way of ARTILLARY? There is no warning of enemy artillary, and the splash damage is far too great to out run it.

I can hear the artillery sound maybe 10-15 seconds before being hit, enough to leave the area or take cover. How come you don’t?! Must be a wrong setting or something…

Whilst Im on a good rant, let me just say the hit box detection is completely broken, and the reload times for AT is atrocious.

It was like this since always.
Artillery should be considered a distraction; it keeps you on your toes when you’re capping a flag. It’s also a nice weapon in the hands of a capable commander.

Meh, we all have to go through it I'm afraid, but it's the best feeling ever when artillery is landing right on top of you....and you, somehow, survive.

Or 99.9% of times you just see your body fly a million miles over the server.

I don't like arty because it make snpign almost impossible unless you destroy the scan first.

snipers should be invisible to scan but visible to uav

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

Artillery is one of the many things that needs to be removed/changed from the game.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

I like artillery. As soon as you hear the "whoosh" of it about to drop it's a great buzz trying to escape.

Seriously though, artillery does add a great tactical element to the game. If you're really so incompetent as to keep being killed by it...well, there really is just is no hope for you.
Also, should Sloi see this (Hello, Sloi!), he may think it hypocritical of me to say these things after my reprimanding him in another thread. I'll address that if the issue arises.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

I can't ****ing stand when commanders will artillery helipads and jet takeoffs, but it has NEVER fazed me in actual groundpounding.


You need to get something called "PRACTICE". If you stand in one spot like a retard, I most certainly don't blame any commander sticking a red label on your area.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

Artillery is a part of the modern battlefield, as are jets, and helicopters, and most of the things complained about in the forums.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

What makes me mad sometimes is when the arty gets dropped on you and about 3 or 4 more people and you are the only one that dies. makes it seem like he was singling you out lol.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

Nothing needs to be changed about artillery.
Other people can deal with and have for almost 2 years; you can too.
Otherwise, move servers, or maps, or go to IO.
Basically, it seems like you have no clue how to "feel" an arty strike coming.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

Yea I have no problem with arty, I can usually hear arty coming so its no big deal.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

When your capping the enemy flag, the arty will start raining down 3 pixels from fully capturing the out post.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

Arty does suck. It is so inaccurate. I think it should be much more effective.

Re: Artillary Ruins The Game

I think the artillary in BF2 is fecking ****e, they should have left it alone. The best arti is used in the mod DC for BF1942
