A solution for choper/jet hogging

[noob_mc_goob]

Here's an idea, tell me what you think...

So many times I have been waiting for an attacj chopper or jet to spawn and then another $%^&$% on my team comes up and TK's me just to secure it for himself.

I hate that so much so I usually dedicate the rest of my game to hunting down that player and killing them (softly)..

Usually resulting in me being booted which craps me off even more.

Or if I have been waiting and somone else comes up and gets the jet/chopper just by the random allocation bit when it appears. Hate that too.

SO what if a system existed like at the deli section at the supermarket?

You arrive at the pad/hangar and are allocated a prioity number based on arrival time...if you leave the hangar/pad you lose your ticket and go to back of the que.

As soon as a jet/chopper appears, you are allocated positions based on your ticket number!

And make it impossible for another player to TK you if you are standing on the pad/hangar with a ticket. Or if they do TK you whilst you are on the pad with a ticket, your punish means they are killed and spawn time is say 5 minutes.

Another dumbass thing that leads to this happening is the fact that the people who have died in the chopper/jet , re-spawn and get back to the pad before the new chopper arrives, thus being able to hog it over and over. If the chopper re-spawned before the players who were last in it all would be sweet!

THOUGHTS?

and then I come there first and stay there in front of the chopper .. just to **** you off even more .. and noone can even go in the chopper .. cause they're in the que .. I'm still alive .. and laughing @ you and others waiting in the line

good idea !!! (=sarcastically)

really good idea .. you cant change ppls mentality with rules .. you have to educate them ..

go buy a copy of the videogame "The Line 2: Trial of Patience" where players go online to wait in a virtual line for some virtual deli meat. yea.

Make 'em land to reload, probably help reduce the rush to jump in the jets.

Thats what i do, some fool TK'd me for a jet the other day just as he took off the other spawned, so I took off after him and hunted him down, he wasn't very good either, easy to take him down with guns, then I went for other team until he TK someone else for jet, so I shot him down again and the other person, initiated a kick vote and he left.

That is a Grr...rate idea, or at least do a touch and go. Noobs will crash -2 points that would discurage all who can not fly...

Theres a simple solution to this. Instead of waiting for a chopper/plane why dont you go and help your team instead. Sure you wont get as many points and be as l33t as the chopper/plane whore but at least you wont have to worry about someone stealing your whore machine, because you will have a nice simple gun that fires non whorish bullets and that everyone can have

First intelligent statement in here. I wouldnt recommend having to touch and go with the jets though........ that would just take away from my ownage time. Im an awesome Chopper pilot as well but touch and go with those are easy as pie.

Get some of your friends together and rent your own server! honestly, theres nothing more satisfying than kick/banning someone who tries to do you over.

Yah.
Those guys should use single player and off-line servers to brake down a little bit their anxiety for planes and chopes. Then get back at MP servers and anything to help their ground soldiers.

All that will do will create a new type of smacktard. One that gets in a jet, fires off all its ammo, then flys back over the base and parachutes out leaving the jet to crash and respawn. Oh yea, he'll probably shoot anybody waiting for the jet to spawn and stand in front of the jet if anybody gets in it before him.


What we need is for vehicles to not fatally wound players. For example, you get in a jet and some e-tard jumps in front of you, instead of an instakill the jet knocks him outta the way like a raggy doll and only damages him. Another option is to reverse the tables, allow pilots to punish people who stand in front of them. for example, you're in a jet in the hanger, some e-tard spits the dummy and jumps in front of you, he then gets a 5 second warning to move or be punished. the punishment could be a respawn without death, that would give the pilot time to head off.


Bottom line, no matter what you do you will always get people who find it more fun to spoil your game than it is to play the game the way it was meant to be played. I know it's difficult to manage server lists and favorites with the joke that is the BF2 in game browser but using things like gamespy you can find good servers to play on that are well maintained by people who don't stand for the sort of ****e that were talking about here. Alternatively, join a clan.

Re: A solution for choper/jet hogging

id like to see how this system would work in game

Re: A solution for choper/jet hogging

If you think it's bad now with people standing in front of your plane so that you TK them when you take off, think about what it will be like if you had to touch and go to reload -- players hanging out on the runway, vehicles parked on the runway, etc.

I agree with the above poster. Stop hanging around the hangers and go kill something. Frankly, the only time I ever get in an aircraft is when I happen to spawn near one and it's sitting there.

I have seen that before, really pathetic and I told the person who was doing it they were.
