Superweapons suck

Re: Superweapons suck

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

The commanders DO get CREDIT for the kills. It just doesn’t show up in game, but it does in BFHQ and will work towards badges/ribbons etc.

The arty is fine it makes the game so intense when the arty starts falling and your running for cover, I mean if you escape it you have such a feeling of HOLY @#$%...Or standing back while your commander bombs the **** out of a heavily guarded enemy CP then you roll in with a posse and cap that shizzle....

If used properly the arty makes the game better IMO...The arty in all the other BF games sucked since very rarely would someone actually call out and spot it for you...They fixed this with giving the commander the Arty, plus what would the commander do if he didn’t have arty???....

Whine on

Re: Superweapons suck

Yes it is. Especially when spawning in the middle of one.

Re: Superweapons suck

Artillary is just stupid, so many games there's been a good fierce firefight and everyones loving it then BOOM everyone dies... but then I feel the way about all the commanders abilities, I mean there's not much point sneaking around when the commander can see me as a little red dot. If he had to scrool and physically FIND me then fair play, but just pressing scan is not good warfare to me.

Re: Superweapons suck

Arty just takes my kills away...take it out of the game!

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.

Heres what makes BF2 a laughing stock of a game imo..

Arty strikes.. first, because they are too often, second because the
commanders I seem to get only use them for themselves.. Same
goes for the resupply crates..

CONSTANT UAVS, Lets get real, folks, since when is there a radar
that shows your enemy location on it 24/7 ? And not only that,
but if you notice, it will even show which way they are facing !!
This is the g@yest thing I have ever seen in a war simulation game.
This stupid aspect of the game is made even worse when your team
ends up with the 'self serving commander' or the 'not gonna do a damn
thing today commander'

Jets, first because they are MUCH MUCH MUCH too hard for even a
team of infantry men to take down.. second, because all the kiddies
just fight over them and chase each other around in circles in the sky.

Choppers, see Jets above. (A tank shell direct hit on a chopper, and
all you get it some smoke.. he repairs and comes back..what a laugh..)

PUNISH system. What a crock this is.. Sure Ive deserved a punish
before, but perhaps 1 out of 10 times, but yet Im punished 99% of
the time, no matter what.

VOTING system, totally useless, enough said.

PLAYERS TACTICS, The game may have been intended for certain game
play, but it sure as hell isnt whats being done out there more and more
often. i.e. Noone uses voice, Hardly anyone squads up , Jets are
used as Flying Suicide Bombs , Kiddies fighting their own teammates
for a chopper or jet , Servers with rules for no spawn camping, base-
raping, but yet their own clan members do it alllll the time.. The list here
goes on and on with sillieness.

Its just corny, my BF2 disc has been collecting dust for a week now,
just about done with this title all together. I have found that the
player base is much much too imature for my taste, and the game
is too repetitive and gets boring with only 2 or 3 good maps to play..

All this above, plus the fact that EA/DICE doesnt have a friggin clue
how to fix their bug latent software, even though people have been
telling them about SPECIFIC bugs SINCE THE DEMO WAS OUT!

EA and DICE , what a team. This game should have been called
BF1.5 or Betafield 2

Re: Superweapons suck

Arty is an element of the game but still one you can control.

Sure a commander will pound a sniper up on a hill w/o warning if there's no clearer target. If you're up close and personal with the enmey then you likely won;t get it raining down on your head.

If you get on the deep MEC flag on Karkand and the flags half way down and then you here the arty go off....well ge the flag neutral and then digh tail it out until the barrage is over then finish the flag.

Most commanding is easy to predict.

Re: Superweapons suck

Those who say they blow the commander's artillery, stop. Destroy his UAV and Scan Trailer instead. This makes him completely blind and if you use his supply crates to keep resupplying and blowing it up he'll usually resign and give up.

Re: Superweapons suck

I think they should stop the creates from fixing arty sat. dishes and campers.

and only engineers can fix that ish

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

Read my post in entirety? I said I'd call it in to swing battles. Sure, if your team aren't listening to you and getting hammered, then arty away. But with a good team who work together you can dominate the opposing team and dont need to arty as much. I doubt very much with a bad team you're gonna win by artying the other team ad nauseum.

Let me rephrase then. If you dont care about getting a decent score and concentrating on helping your squads take flags, then it's not idiocy to repetively arty the other team.

Re: Superweapons suck

arty's never been gayer when you're in karkand in the middle of a big battle and then the enemy commander drops arty on you and 16 others. :/

Re: Superweapons suck

Speedie is 100 % right would be a better game without commander which spec forces doesnt have arty or commander as far as i can see. :laugh:

[Hayden-G]

Re: Superweapons suck

arty strikes were cool in the beginning, but now its getting old, need to take it out or limit the amount of strikes u can send in a match.

Yeah your in a good fight then BOOM. Limits should be put, or recharge time lengthened. Still, Arty does make the battle more interesting.

Re: Superweapons suck

The arty is fair, and very easy to destroy as it is usually very poorly guarded. The supply boxes aren't.

[RavenRealms]

Re: Superweapons suck

Agreed.

I think the supply boxes shouldn't be able to repair arty. That is just unreal.

[Pilioka]

Re: Superweapons suck

I wish supplies crates didn't heal assets. Or they were on a timer or something. Like if a crate just healed the arty and you blow it up it takes like 5 mins before another crate will work.
