Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

Okay, you wiki Carl Gustav. Great. Point is, it is mostly used in game as anti infantry.

That is true. So is the Grenade launcher, and so what? In this game they are both designed and sold as anti infantry weapons.
You could argue that they are poorly balance, but as far as I recall, the GC only has 2%-3% of all kills, so its hardly a game-breaker.

Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

Ill take your word for it, i never even played the demo of 2142. Not really my style. But if its anything like BF2 choppers, you cant really make the comparison to BC2 choppers.

The 2142 Helos were awesome, before you got raped by multiple pilums and transports crashing into you, and enemy light poles massacring you.

Okay, you wiki Carl Gustav. Great. Point is, it is mostly used in game as anti infantry. As for 2142 helos, its comparing apples to oranges. And im def not gonna take your word for it concerning BC2 choppers as you have less than 30 minutes combined in all choppers. Sorry you cant do barrel rolls and back flips to evade enemy fire man.

:super pissed:
If you cant manage to down the Hind with an AT4, you deserve to be raped repeatedly. There is no excuse with all these people with Carl Gustavs. They just are too focused on shooting at peoples feet rather than using it to kill what it is intended for.

Who said GC was never intended to be used against human?

Carl Gustav recoilless rifle - FFV441B is an HE round with an effective range against personnel in the open of 1,100 m. The round arms after 20 to 70 m of flight, weighs 3.1 kg, and is fired at a muzzle velocity of 255 m/s

I was just pointing out the irony. No need to go all "hes a bad man" on me.

Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

Tell me what aspect of BC2 gunship piloting can compare in any way in skill to this:

You see, you show a video of BF2142 to "prove" how "skilless" BC2 chopper piloting is, do you see whats wrong with this picture?

Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

Using saitek cyborg evo, my yaw and throttle are inverted and some buttons don't respond:dead:

I can help you with that. I edited my control files to remove all links between infantry and ground vehicles from the joystick, then got the chopper controls fixed. I also have an EVO.

I had to resuscitate myself because I was about to drown in my coffee.

Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

exactly, PC has never had this but they posted they do in the PC subforums.
just goes to show they probably don't even play the PC version much.
apparently majority of the things patched were done with consoles in mind and they admitted they didn't really think about how balancing affected PC...

Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

This has to be consoles only. There have been multiple people reporting that the flares aka smoke does not work for PC. And by multiple, i mean hundreds.

[Minmaster]

Re: Consoles ruined PC helos

hey did you guys know there are flares in the game? apparently so, i didn't even know about this. :laugh:

Double checked the "flares not working" bug. It does work, you need to activate your flares or smoke to remove the tracer dart before a locked missile is fired. Once the missile is inbound, the flares will have no effect.

QA has checked the flares multiple times and works everytime in R7. We even had them double check on the day the patch released.
