Superweapons suck

Re: Superweapons suck

Of course its doable. This one time this and this one time that..... :laugh:

In GENERAL and on AVERAGE, the arty is imo disturbing the game experience.

Re: Superweapons suck

Am I the only one that thinks artillery and to a certain extent jets are making this game laughable? I mean artillery totally kills the pleasure and strategy of this game. You work hard to gain some progress, then,,,,BOOOM, your whole squad is shot to ****. Yay,,,great fun.

Yeah yeah yeah,,,,as if it's easy or even doable to destroy the arty. In most games that's a suicide mission at best. And for what reason? It will be repaired 30 seconds later by a crate.

Play Strait of Hormuz map: No jets, no artillery, no uav and no scan.
Lots of intense infantry standoffs

Re: Superweapons suck

I think vehicles (like the obusier or the MLRS in Desert combat) should take care of the artillery support. That is why I don't mind planes in BF2, because the pilot exposes himself when doing his bombing run and it takes a minimal amount of practice and skill to be an efficient bomber.
Hopefully desert conflict will fix that issue (along with the chopper handling)

Re: Superweapons suck

I agree, artilery sucks, only destroys good infantry fighting, also now with the 1.03 the commander doesn't get any TK's anymore so they don't care anymore, just drop the arty where there are lots of red dots even if there are blue dots, who cares.

Artilery abuse was bad and became extreme after 1.03.

Who the hell asked EA to change this anyway, community is asking for several bugs to repair, they don't do that but they do change things nowbody asks for

Re: Superweapons suck

Re: Superweapons suck

at first i thought arts were cool but hte novelty has worn off now and they're just incredibly annoying. I dont get why they can art uncappable span points, wheres the tactical value in that?

Ummmm. Killing your enemy before they have a chance to move?

for

They also dont get credited with the kills neither. And a commander who repeatedly arty's is an idiot, its points his own team members dont get which in turn gives him a lower score at the end. If you come across a commander dumb enough to arty continually, blow the arty as they probably dont have the brains to repair that either....

I only arty when my guys are getting swamped, to hold the enemy off a flag, or to root out the enemy commander/snipers :P

Re: Superweapons suck

I arty every second i can, if some one blows it more repair points for me and if u do blow a trigger happy arties up im sure he will want it back.

Re: Superweapons suck

I arty constantly. I take care not to hit friendlies but accident's happen. I don't save up artillery only because I want more points, that way u end up losing. Most of all I bomb helipads to keep choppers downed if there are any. As 4 points my team wont get, dead enemies get no points either. Calling someone an idiot because his tactics differ from yours? Whose the idiot there

Re: Superweapons suck

what about the other commander functions? They kind of ruin the game.

Whether it's a match or just a round on a pub server, it just sucks. You and your squad sneak around to a flag or flank the enemy, they don't see you.

But all the commander has to do it click a button and your whole team shows up for him. And it recharges way too fast.

That's what was good about DC and BF1942. You could sneak around and if not seen, take them out before they could even figure out what the hell just happened.

Re: Superweapons suck

Yeah they took the Infantry out of bf2

Re: Superweapons suck

the arty isn't a 'superweapon', it's more of a nuisance

[I-Kodiak-I]

Re: Superweapons suck

I am getting annoyed with it, like today i spawned and bnag hit by arty i didnt even take a step and sometime when your capping a flag and arty hits you, or if arty hits your sqauds position and your the only one who dies

Re: Superweapons suck

blablabla you guys just think too much, just play this game im tired of this whining

Re: Superweapons suck

Artillery isn't that hard to avoid....
