What do you think REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED for the next patch?

[i_am_the_dood]

Here's a few:

1) Helicopters - the handling of these is unrealistic and more importantly, 'orrible. Compare it with the choppers in the silentheroes mod for BF1942 and you'll see what I mean.

2) server browser (and menus in general) - why are they so sloooow and unresponsive?
It's not like they're rendered in 3D. If I click a button/server in the list, it should either do something, or indicate that it's trying to do something (like a web browser).

3) network issues - there was some kind of problem with the account servers last week so I couldn't access them when I tried to login. Fair enough, but BF2 didn't give up after a minute or 2 - it kept trying, and hammering the escape key to make it stop didn't work. Neither did Alt-Tab to switch programs. Or Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get task manager up. So I had press the power button to switch my machine off and on again. And I f*****g hate having to do that.

• Share the teamwork points across every class, and fix those insane requirements. Some ideas:
  • Spec Ops - 1pt per each enemy commander asset blown up
  • Sniper - 1pt bonus for getting a headshot
  • Assault - 1pt for every kill streak over 3
  • Support - 1pt for ever 100 pts of ammo (Like now)
  • Medic - 2pts for every revive, 1pt for every 100 pts of health (Like now)
  • Engineer - 1pt for every 25pts repaired (100pts now), 1pt bonus after repair points if it's a commander asset.
  • Anti Tank - 1pt bonus for each kill against an opponent in any vehicle
• Fix the red name bug. This is downright inexcusable.
• Fix Stat-Padding in ALL aspects (I know, they're doing this)
• Add Server Favorites, as well as a Buddy List (Again, I know)
• Let servers owners customize their servers more, but to an extent. Allow them to change ticket ratios, as well as score penalties for different tasks (tking for instance)
• Fix AutoBalance so that it actually keeps the teams even, and switches over players based on how much they're actually helping the team, and if they're in a squad (or commander).
• Fix the whole TK Forgiving thing. If someone forgives you, it shouldn't still punish you. And reduce penalties otherwise. Something like -0 for forgiven, -2 for unforgiven, -1 for team (vehicle) damage. Also, it should be FORGIVEN by default.
• Fix TK formula. If a plane runs you over on a runway when it's first taking off, it's a SUICIDE for you. I really don't need to go into detail here.
• Fix up the server browser filters so they're more accurate. I'm tired of seeing full servers when Not Full is checked.
• Fix voting. Kicking a player on your team should not require 75% of the everyone in the game to vote. Same thing for mutiny. I've seen 16v16 games where you needed 20 votes to mutiny. The funny thing is, the other team can't even vote!
• Add OFFICIAL stat tracking websites. Ones that are created by EA so that they can be used to their FULL potential. GameSpy should have no trouble doing this, considering they run the stat server, as well as the user database. Log into GameSpy, and look, there's a link to view stats!
• Add clan support. I cannot stress this enough. If you're going to make ranks dependant on account, then let us change our names, or at least add a clan tag before/after our name. You can even combine this with the above idea and have clan hiscores.

Those are the major things that are bugging me. I'll probably come up with more if I take some time to think about it.

I still dont like the way a team can load up a blackhawk with engineers and own all the flags

press and HOLD your left mouse button...

sweet I didnt know that either

Things that need to be changed are as follows:
1. There need to be a SAM site because a good pilot is serously impossible to kill
2. Lightly touching vehicles and dying is a bunch of BS
3. Tanks have 3000 hp in there engines, they should be able to climb a small hill
4. Fix the tk system sum how
5. Add new maps, kits, unlocks, vehicles to spice up the game
6. Get teamwork points 4 each kit, not just medic engineer, and support
7. less lag
8. change ticket ratios
9. no more point explotiataion (knifing then reviving)
10. Have a melle attack for all thise times that you get caught with you pants down!

Pretty much that, as well as fixing the sometimes good sometimes bad theft killing. Where sometimes if you happen to be shooting at a heli with a rifle at the same time as someone shoots it down with an IGLA you sometimes get the points, and whats with being killed by the 2nd explosion of blown up vehicles, and sometimes people get team killed for that.

As well as the stupid team kill system, sometimes you get them from doing nothing at all.

On the bigger maps there needs to be more small vehicles, im allways stuck alone with not even a FAV.

Every kit has grenades, but Anti tank doesnt, whats up with that? :S Also the assault class needs something other than ONE smoke grenade to be better from the rest, otherwise you may as well be medic.

The meelee attack thing may be good, so you press a button quick and it automatically knifes them. I get annoyed too when you get out your primary weapon sometimes it takes a few seconds to take out depending on what gun it is, and time matters when you need to switch very fast.

It would also be nice if the grenade launchers werent instant death. So the whores couldnt whore them out.

Make claymores mines and c4 blow up when exposed to other explosions. Many times have snipers been compeletely safe from anyone on a high building because they claymored the ladder.

Additional Pistols and uniforms/skins to choose from would be nice too.

thats all i can think of for now.

Here are my BIG issues and suggested improvements

1) Bunnyhopping, do one of the following

A) Reduce the jump height greatly and tie it to stamina, two jumps and you are out of stamina and cant sprint or jump.
B) Keep jump height but tie it to stamina as above BUT you cant not fire anything while jumping.

2) Dolphin diving and diving on the ground from a jump (prone in air)

A) Add an animation of the soldier going into a prone position, lasts a second and a half or so and make the guy going prone sight match the animation also adding less accuracy on his weapon.
B) Keep it the same as it is now but the guy going prone cant fire his weapon for a second and a half.

3) Jumping from a prone position (just take this out)

4) M203/GP30 whoring

A) Make it so you have to fire it sighted, cant fire without your gun up.

5) Name tag bug (take it out, this should have never been in)

6) Fix the heat seekers so they hit wht they are locked on

7) Take out that stupid TK system

8) BH is to powerful

A) keep it like it is but make ALL heli's unable to cap a flag, crew must get out.

9) Keep supply crates from repairing assets (commander) its a team game

Thats all I can think of right now...of course tighten the net code and things is a given...OH AND FIX THE BROWSER!

[Combined]

More repair points!

Oh and a pie cannon.

[Solar71]

single player

More single player customization of game...
like spawn time...
like ticket ratio...
like game time limit...

you know... that sort of thing

[BravoTwoZeroUK]

Fix the Chinese maps so have some city fighting me personally I hate the Chinese maps they're too big and boring. :hmm:

[ttopi]

Game wastes way too much memory, some (read: A LOT ) optimizing needs to be done.

[ShadowWarrior18D]

if what ive heard is true and you cannot change the amount of tickets for a ranked server then that should be changed...i want to play on a 200% ticket ratio ranked server :cry:

yeah I liked it when servers had mad tickets

[ThyNecromancer]

Falling damage!!
I run down the stairs.. I get hurt.. wtf
I fall 5 feet.. I lose half my life.. wtf?

That stupid parachute!! I've seen people jump 10 feet and they open their parachute right away.. mean while I jump off a high building and my stupid parachute won't deploy!

[Fritz-Fraghof]

To those who object to supply boxes repairing destroyed UAV, radar and arty, I suggest this is fine as is. Do you guys play on public servers? Do you know how hard it is to get someone to repair this stuff for you?
As a team player who usually plays special ops, one of my greatest priorities is taking out the enemy commander's assets - especially on a 64p server. Even if he is dropping supply crates on 'em, I often still take them out 'til he gets the message. So many team lives can be saved doing this I feel it is my obligation to do so for the team.
It has been said in the next patch spec ops will get points for this, so I would say it will be a tough job as commander (even with supply crates fixing them) to keep them going.

Also : how about the skull and crossbones for C4 being dropped altogether? How is one meant to determine from a vehicle what is C4 and what is mine without getting out - as I often have to? If it's C4 the spec ops has to control the detonation. If he detonates when his own men are there he deserves the TK. Why do others on his team have to see a big skull and crossbones?

Blackhawk (nerf mini & armour)

Grenade Launcher aka 'noobcannon' (add minimum range, +1 sec cooldown)

Repair (rework based on % repaired per vehicle. ex. repair 50% of blackhawk = 1 point)

Artillery (increase cooldown period)

Shotgun (add magnum, remove buck shot)

TK system (rework. ex. when forgiven, you should not get -4 penalty)

Grenades (nerf area of effect slightly)

AA vs aircraft (need better AA vs aircraft (flying Jedi-Knights), but not overpowered vs helos)

[ZappBrann1gan]

Make so alternate fire on stingers cause them to detonate. Not only could you stop the missiles from passing their intended targets and hitting friendlies, but you'd score a higher chance of the target taking 'flak' damage.

[l=lCoBrAl=l]

I honestly thing that the TK system is not that bad as far as scoring goes. I just think that if you're not punished then you shouldn't have to have your score taken away. I mean of course things like touching a vehicle and dying is gay, but that's just dying in general. I'll get out of my jepp (even if it is stopped) and somehow I die from it. But as far as if you're shooting a tank or something and it blows up, if a teammate is next to it you get a TK. He might not punish you so why should you get negative points? It's as if you're punished anyways.

As far as mines go, I wish I could punish teammates for wasting my mines sometimes. Sometimes I don't know if people are complete idiots, or if they're just being jerks because they run over them so many times.
