Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

I remeber in some bullsh!t reply by EA they said that they tried several of the ditched items out and they found them not fun so they chose not to add/keep them.

Yea, the BF2 artillery strikes are real fun. Good call on that one.

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

Sry to bring back this old topic I know

I just found a M82a1 that was also never implemented has ne one found other things as well I also found a bunch of sounds that wernt implemented such as
Commander\Soldier: "retreat"
Squad Leader: "gather around be"
ANY:"lasing target" (laser designator?)
ANY:"marking target" (laser designator?)
ANY:"we have encountered mines" (i think you were suposed to be able to spot mines"
Commander:"Abandon Ship"
Player Kicked: "you have been voted out of the battlefield"
Player Mutinied: "you have been voted out of the commander position"
Player Mutinied: "I must inform you you have been demoted from the rank of commander"
No Commander After time: "calling for a new commander"

I found more but i think you get the point :-D

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

Its actually the support guy that will have it; the sniper has a GPS/UAV type instrument to locate enemies for the team

Sniper has Sniper Rifle, Pistol, knife, GPS, and Laser

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

what really gets to me is that they have everything done all they need to do iss literally add no more than 3 lines of code and there done the only thing the m82 was missing was sound.

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

Laser designator for Battlefield 2 will be useless and more of a novelty item for the Spec Ops class. The co-pilot of the fighter bombers can already spot all the armors so s/he doesn't need any more recon. At best, s/he'll see dozens of "strike requests" that'll be more of a nuisance that gets in the way of locking onto real targets. Probably the only real use is to target areas of interest such as flag captures and hostile infantry locations, the former can be easily achieved by the co-pilot itself and the latter is not practical.

Almost like binoculars that each snipers had for BF1942. When you call for a strike, no one answers it. When you request a spot, no one spots. When one requests and the other spots, normally the "target" is nonsense.

I think Project Reality hit the nail on the head with the lazerdesignator(whatever its called). You see, the commander has artillary but can only use it when a squad leader marks a target for him. IMO, thats how artillary should have been implemented in the original vBF2.

imo artilerry should be like in Dcon, all manual, that is so much fun, even tho its pretty rare that some1 spots for you.


1PN90 Laser Target Designator would be ownage imo, laser guided bombs :O YAY! Same with that Javelin missile they had in Project Reality, i guess looks pretty op but it would be so much fun :P

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

Regarding stuff they didnt put in the final game there was two maps that i saw that werent in the game....something like "Glowing Pass" and "hunting hills" i will post the bit of code when i get on my main computer today :)

Edit:

The narrow canyons carved into this region channel both forces into inevitable head-on confrontations as each seeks to secure the prized uranium mines with their advancing forces. In the context of this double assault, success will favor the bold, given the constrained nature of this rugged battlefield.

I enjoy that method as well, and it works really good for DCon. But don't forget the mass rapage of main bases. Thats the only problem I have with it.
Once one person finds the right trajectory they can mass kill with virtually no contest. Can anyone say El Alamien with the scud.

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

good thing i revied this thread. :-D

well if you take a look at some of the orignal trailers they look nothing like the game now. here watch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SypdINybyZQ&mode=related&search=

now look those sounds are so much cooler and the ragdoll physics work. Also the laser designator is in the vid + uh-60 with rockets. And last but not least that guy who got shot off the roof his gun fell separate than the body. It almost seems as if they scraped over half the game which looked cool.

EDIT:
i also just found this non edited version of

I think they renamed that to Fushe Pass. The "narrow canyons" and "uranium mines" are a dead giveaway.

Closest map I can think of with important bridges has to be Dragon Valley, but again Fushe Pass better fits that description since it has 5 long, vital, and constructed bridges. Furthermore, these two maps have industrial areas as well as farms and villages. My money's on Fushe Pass.

It almost seems as if they scraped over half the game which looked cool.

I have a belief that had the actual BF2 been what that old video looked like and we saw a video that reflects of what we're actually playing today, we would prefer the latter

The UH-60 gunship can go to hell also, people would be using it as a gunship than as a transport.

Is it just me or would this be whored a lot?

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

I don’t think the designator should automatically drop a bomb that’s such BS I can only imagine the freakin baserape.

Maybe they should put up an icon for the other aircraft to have the option of bombing.

Who needs a load of three year old admins baserape away with unlimited bombs from hell.

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

if you wanna use this so badly GET PROJECT REALITY!!! they have shoulder mounted AA....laser designator.... (unfourtunately the laser designator's only fuction is to zoom in on things, sorta like an UBER binoculars. but PR 0.6 is going to make it work i hear)

Re: BFMC has laser designator and BF2 doesnt!??Why?!?

I dig this option:

Blowtorch Repair Kit: Portable welding blowtorch that you can repair vehicles with. It can also be used as a close combat weapon if used against another player at point blank range.
