Dolphin Diving Fix in 1.5 BF2 Patch voting

Re: Dolphin Diving Fix in 1.5 BF2 Patch voting

Problem that I have with dolphin diving is that players with slightly higher ping or network lag always lose those fights. Dolphin Diving gives you too much advantage over users that have higher ping then you.

I hardly ever come across it on the good uk pubs, when you do get a good dolpin exploiter, he will down you with 30 ping! I can understand the request for change if comp & this tactic was used[noobs?]. Games getting on a bit now, was suprised when I saw this change tbh, bit late to be changing that sort of thing now :nod:

there hasn't been real dolphin diving since the 1.2 patch......all they are doing now is listening to the whiners again......thats how they broke a bunch of stuff in some of the earlier patch's. if you want to see real dolphin diving load up a game on a unpatched server.

Who really cares about dolphin diving or bunny hoppers........its those damn jihad-a-holics that really burn my arse. Besides it's only a friggin video game and there is always something to ***** about......you gotta luv it.

Just so you are all aware, the increase in the prone delay makes it impossible to jump through windows. Definitely a bad move.

Re: Dolphin Diving Fix in 1.5 BF2 Patch voting

First of all, dolphin diving was coded out in patch 1.2, it hasn't existed since then, jump proning is not dolphin diving.

Second of all, by increasing the delay EA are eliminating are perfectly legitimate gameplay style. I'm 100% sure that in the real world when soldiers are running for cover (jumping behind a barracaid etc) they DON'T jump over said barracaid wait until they have their feet planted firmly on the ground and then hit the floor, they DIVE over the barracaid. No they do not defy the laws of gravity they simply do two things at the same time, by no means defying the laws of physics.

Increasing the delay from jump to prone is EA's response to the complaints of noobs that fail to adapt their gameplay to the game... EA, STOP nurfing the game, it's wrecking it. Just because they can't jump through a window doesn't mean we all shouldn't be able to... THEY JUST SUCK.

/end rant.

P.S wrecked the game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can jump trough the window with crouch?

gtfo! :laugh:

If you had played the game back in the day you would know what I was talking about. Pre patch 1.2 dolphin diving was prevalent... as of then it was coded out, you can't do it. You can call jump-proning 'dolphin diving', but the fact remains they are not the same thing.

This is dolphin diving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_snSNg7MPE

Not all windows.

Then you would know that

Of course those that 'can't shoot for $hit' want the increase in delay from 0.3 - 0.7. I don't want the increase, join the dots. The game has more recently started lacking in the skill department, EA shouldn't make it worse.

Re: Dolphin Diving Fix in 1.5 BF2 Patch voting

Why the hell would anyone want dolphin diving unless you use it as a crutch to compensate for other skills you don't have ?

/this

Honestly, if you let people flop around mid-air like dolphins, why don't we just allow people to fly around like birds? It's already unrealistic enough with talentless kooks jumping around mid-air like a bunch of morons.

Re: Dolphin Diving Fix in 1.5 BF2 Patch voting

Im still going for the option of increaseing bullet deviation whilst jump-proning. taht would eliminate the instant accuracy but yet still keep the ability to hide behind cover quickly as well as going through windows.

DD's dont bother me I jsut shoot them jsut like anyone else that I see. Its the instant 100% accuracy that gets me pissed. I DO NOT DD AT ALL, never have never will. Only time I bunny hop is when Im being shot at and I need to get over an obstacle in a hurry.

From what Im hearing all over is that Dice are taking away a certain gameplay feature in reducing that prone time after jumping. they did that after hearing complaints from people who were killed from the 100% acc that people get while in mid-jump-proning.


Sounds like an easy fix to me: Increase deviation while going prone(similar to 2142 in which there is a delay before min deviation is achieved), and revert to the .03 jump to prone time.
