Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Well you are comparing the Uh-60(BH) to an unknown little chopper most likely. I would like more details before connections are drawn.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

BF2 is an arcade game. The real world is not.

funny you say that, since EA "tried" to make everything in this game
based on real world items.. but when it comes to the chopper it can
mystically take ground by simply hovering over it..

and then of course you get some shmuck in here that will say..

'oh, just shoot it with this or that, aim here or there..' but of course
like posted in this thread they are way out of balance to destroy..
and most importantly.. they just fly off to your farthest point where
nobody is, hover for 15 secs and take your point when youre 10 miles
away..

choppers in BF2 ruin many games I play in.. I have nothing against
chopper skills... but EA dropped the ball on allowing them to take
ground from 100ft in the air..

Yea, you're right. Everything is BASED on real world items. That's it. Just like some movies are BASED on real world events, as in it happened, but not exactly like it was shown.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Oh, I see what you're saying. It's a game so there shouldn't be realism! Well then why can't we shoot lightning bolts out our butts to destroy enemy tanks? I mean, since it's just a game?

dont bother, obviously he doesnt know the definition of 'based'.


All Im saying is that they BASED this game on REAL stuff.. but screwed
up when it came to some issues with the choppers.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

The SAW issue...

I use the saw a lot more then the guy that got flamed and i never do all that control, busrt bull$hit I just aim and spray and it doesn't take a lot of shots to kill them so don't tell no one how to use the in game SAW if you never use it.


Heli issues...

What does a little chopper have to do with a UH-60??? How many time have we talked about the power the helis have in the game??? get over it already imagine if they should have left the "blackhawk" how it was first introduced, I think it would work like this...http://rapidshare.de/files/4335163/miniguniraq.mpg.html

wow another idot too think games are real..

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Just saying it's an arcade game is retarded, i mean, yes it doesn't have to be exact, but what if it took 100 shots with a rocket to destroy a tank from the back? '' well it's an arcade game '' no, it's just too unrealistic.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Yes, "Its meant to be a arcade game" is ridili- ridicilious answer to anything. There is three stages. Arcade, Hardcore realism and senceful. Senceful is this funny state where things make SENCE! men can jump many feet, but they arent bunnies and flying pieces of bolted alumiun arent tougher than tanks. Sence is this to me: When you shoot rocket to bottom of BH, I would expect start smoking and everything as how you fly with huge hole in bottom?

And then support. Im a long support player, rare species. We are often located on karkandious landscape where we have a little chance to fight againts our natural predator. THE SPEC OP. the speccy is a fierce predator, it hunts without mercy us down, usually chewing our flesh when we spam on ground dieing. Our inaccurate guns are defenceless againts those sniper-accurate rifles and full gauge sprints.

Back to copters. From bf all the wind and swinging has been removed. In real time, balancing copter in windy day when support guy is shooting at you in tight place is suicuide. And by the way, for the record, BH can stand 8-10 hellfire missiles.

Aww hell, my fingers cramped.

Rock-throwing illegal immigrants near Yuma, Arizona, forced a U.S. Border Patrol helicopter pilot to make an emergency landing this week, the customs agency said. No one was hurt in the incident, which happened Tuesday while the pilot was helping agents on the ground apprehend 17 people attempting to illegally enter the U.S., spokesman Michael Gramley said. They were on the north side of the All-American Canal, a large irrigation canal that runs from California along the U.S.-Mexico border.


While the helicopter was hovering, a group of 10 people on the south side of the canal began throwing baseball-size rocks at it, Gramley said.


One rock hit a rotor, Gramley said. The pilot felt a bad vibration and made an emergency landing about a mile away.

Real World: It takes a rock to bring down a chopper.

EA World: It takes two stingers to bring down a chopper. It takes two Abrams 120mm Sabot/Heat rounds to bring down a chopper. It takes dozens of 25mm Heat/AP rounds to bring down a chopper.


I just thought this was a funny story. Enjoy!

Military choppers tend to be more armoured than normal choppers besided when a missile hits a chopper it usually hits on the body not rotas in the game

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

yeah well that way we can just chuck rocks at the helis and bring them down, that would meke people stay away from them a while

BF2 is an arcade game. The real world is not.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

It would of course be unpopular with the chopper fan boys but I would like to see the game balance re-done to put the emphasis far more on ground combat. The ground combat in this game is so good when it is not be ruined by over powered choppers.

Says you, many including myself disagree. The game is balanced just fine.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Not sure the balance is all that great when you consider that any half decent chopper crew can expect upwards of a 30:1 kill to death ratio over the course of a round.

Having said that I'd be quite happy if they just stopped the capping of flags from within choppers. The game can at times border on the pointless when there's a chopper or two just zooming from base to base and capping the flags without any real danger of being killed (very little you can do when a chopper is hovering 20+ft in the air and there's not an AA gun at the base).

By the way, thanks for the technical information on helicopters for the past 100 years. Very interesting...
