The Big Vihicle Capture Flag Poll

[Arcipello]

i think youve missed the main issue, and that is the blackhawk whoring of flags......simple way to fix it, disable any helicopter from capturing flags. this would actually improve gameplay as a whole, the BH pilot would have to land nearby and let off the troops who would then attempt to cap the flag, and maybe the BH pilot could give cover with the miniguns from above, nice gameplay overall.

Just limit the speed in which the BH can cap a flag to a max of 2 or 3 people. Hell, make it the speed of 1 person capping a flag. How many BH's are gonna loiter around a flag that long??? Not too many....

VEHICLE, I hope your main language is not english :)

As for the big ol debate, I dont see the option for air vehicles only cannont capture flags, as I would like. I have no trouble with tanks/armour capturing flags. They are at least usually sitting targets for the AT people.

I voted for infantry only to take flags. I don't really mind the odd flag cap by a vehicle but a full squad in a BH just takes the piss. That's balanced is it?

[ColeThornton]

Tanks/APC/jeeps/etc....no problem. As for the BH and other choppers.....just make it so they have to be touching the ground to cap the flag...seems simple enough!

Yea, sounds like they are going to fix the Chopper flag capping issue in the patch due at the end of august. Not as concerned about the other vehicles capping the flag thats part of the game. Most of the time if a flag is well defended, its a killing field for anyone coming into the area.

remove flag capping for helos only. i have no problem with people being able to cap in a tank or apc or jeep. when you can cap every flag in the map within 3 minutes with a helo, there's a problem.

I guess I missed it. Where did they say that they were going to change blackhawk capping in the next patch?

I see no prblems with the games current set up. As was said before the mods will handle these types of changes.

they never said it will be changed, some people asume this, they just said they are going to tweak the transport helicopters.

Fun part is , they aren't going to tweak the attack helicopters, so this actualy means they ain't going to tweak the chopper of not beeing able to cape flags anymore because otherwise the attachheli's should be tweaked to.

Second, a gameplay change like this isn't about changing a bit of numbers in the game or whrite some lines of code extra, this means one hel of a job because the whole capture coede is written around people comming in an area of the flag, you can't split this up easely.

I think they are going to take down the blackhawks firepower a bit and maybe turn the firepower on the other transport chopper a bit up

I voted for only allowing infantry the ability to cap flags.

It seems the consensus and a good compromise would be to disable heli's and jets (only the jump jets) from capping while in flight, and leave the other vehicle's alone.

you can't play mods on ranked servers if i understand correctly...oops, that theory went out the window, huh?

[TotalBF2er]

I dont have a problem with Blackahawks capping the flag from the air.

What I do have a problem with is the Blackhawk capping from the air when there are still enemy ground troops defending it. Now that is crap.

hmmm..... nobody has said anything about ranks, this thread is about gameplay soooo...... oops, that post went out the window, huh?
topic for another thread "Should moded servers be allowed to keep their own ranks and points seperate from the vanilla ea servers". but like I said topic for another thread.

p.s.

ok thanks thats what i thought. people just saw transport choppers in the notes and decided that is what was happening.

[tjr1973]

Heli's have always been able to cap flags in Desert Combat and BF Vietnam. Leave it alone. If they change anything, the just need to improve SAM's and BH Armor.

I love trying to take down BH's and attack choppers. I really don't see why everyone thinks BH's are such a big deal and yes, I have seen them in action. They are not bulletproof.

There are very few things I would change about this game if I had the choice other than a few glitches and bugs. I enjoy it the way it is.

[Zerstorer23]

Ehh, its BF2, it should be the way it is, if infanty were forced to get out of their rides, then what would happen if a tank came rolling in? They would be toast pretty quickly. So its not a good idea. You need those tanks those first 30 seconds when the flag is still the enemie's. Baddies spawning all over you, and you have guys with C4 and SRAW/Eryx' to take them out.

But the BH thing sounds good.
