I just hate all those blokes i play against who try to kill me with guns and knives and grenades and rockets and all.... gimme a good old fashioned ammobag fight any day of the week!!!!!
OMFG if not you are so dim. and to complain about this is just insane. ever hear of HOT BUTTONS? lmfao
excuse me for a damn second, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN YOU SHOOT AN AT ROCKET, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO INSTANTLY (AND I MEAN INSTANTLY) SWITCH TO YOUR MP5 AND INSTANTLY (AND I MEAN INSTANTLY) FIRE OFF SHOTS WITH ABSOLUTLY NO LAGTIME WHATSOEVER. IF YOU SHOOT AN AT ROCKET AT SOMEONE YOU CAN FOLLOW IT UP INSTANTLY (AND I MEAN INSTANTLY) WITH MP5 SHOTS WHILE YOUR ROCKET IS STILL IN THE AIR!!!
So what is your point? You can do that with every weapon in the game, you can trow a grenade and pull your weapon out and start firing before it explodes..How can you be bothered by this? :p

because it's an obvious bug. ever noticed that when you switch weapons, a nifty little animation plays out? ever notice that when you shoot during this animation, it gets cut off? someone else mentioned that this does not happen with the support class MG's and that's the way it ought to be for all guns. if someone runs out of ammo and has to reload, they should not be able to just instantly switch to another gun and start firing away before the weapon switch animation plays out fully.
to prove my point that it's unfair, just awhile ago i was playing as sniper and hit someone once then "quick switched" to my pistol and got the kill. sounds like a normal scenario, except for the fact that there was absolutly no lagtime at all between me switching to pistol, and firing which effectively turned me into an AUTOSNIPER.
this was long range too, i didn't have to position my mouse at all to aim for the next shot, it was just shoot my M95, switch to pistol and shoot again. the whole procedure happens so quickly that it's like firing an AUTOSNIPER.
it's only a matter of time before someone abuses this in a script or a hack somehow.
dude, get over the f*ing caps already. and your post is still dumb. and I think you are too. Hot buttons man....its as easy as that.
After thinking about it, then testing it, I suspect he might have found a real bug. Most weapons seem to have a little built in delay before you can actually fire 'em. But sure enough, if you fire off an AT round and filp to your MP5, you can blaze away with no pause.
Switching to it while holding the AT launcher and NOT firing a shot causes a minor delay before you can shoot.

The thread is legit... if a little oddly titled.
c'mon man don't make ME look dumb now. I can't have that.:p

thank you for checking it out, finally someone understands. i also took a video of this in fraps but it's a 20mb avi :/. it didn't come out properly either, there was a slight pause between switching weapons and shooting. this was on a single player game though so it might be something to do with that. i believe that the proper technique to get the "effect" to happen is to shoot an AT rocket while holding down MOUSE1, then switch to your MP5.
It shouldn't be that much of a challenge for the coders to make a proper delay between weapon switches. Support weapons like the SAW could have an extra button to take out the pod. It can be fired both standing and crouched and having to wait for the pod to come out is pointless. While I'm at it I laugh everytime I see the accuracy of that weapon in BF2.
I play AT most of the time. So to be a legit player and not be a weapon switching whore, everythime I shoot someone with the AT rocket and switch to my DAO I will pause for a second before firing again *cough*
BTW, nothing is better than having a mouse with lots of buttons for this game. My mouse has six buttons (Logitech MX700)... and a wheel of course (which I do not use in this game). I switch to any weapon , including the wrench or the shock paddles, using my mouse. It is very effective. sometimes I can take a squad of five guys in about two seconds before they even recognise who is shooting! it really needs a skill... not as someone said that it is a skill-less thing. try it and you will find that it needs a lot of time to get used to it.
How quick you reach the "1" or "2" button when you run out of ammo using the DAO decides your fate most of the time.
I do not know what type of animation you need to pull a gun! come one guys! even in real life that just depends on how fast you are (and how you carry that weapon in real life) not on a preset time. The real "animation" for that is how fast you your hand reaches the "switch weapon" button.
Did you ever try to reload the AT rocket?!?! I do not understand why it takes 2 seconds to even start reloading a new rocket.
How about reloading the DAO?! if you start reloading and you run into an enemy then you are dead! it will keep reloading even if you try to fire, but if you switch your weapon and go back to the DAO then you can fire. does not that annoy you guys?
I really get annoyed when someone complains about the AT class because it is really the least scoring classes in this game (after the sniper's class).
When you see an AT guy who does not get in vehicles and gets a gold medal then be sure that the guy is an excellent player.
a lag of 0.5sec is very well exaggarated. when I connect to a nearby server I get a ping of 25-75ms (0.025s - 0.075sec!) the response is always instant and the lag is definitly less than the human's reponse time.
problems happen with the lag if you connect to a random server with more than 32 players.
I personaly believe that lag is not an issue in this game. At least i did not experience it that much personaly.
I live in the US. the game gets laggy only when I connect to a server outside of the US.
Ah, finally I found out how to stop the reload of the damn DAO-12. I usually have to find some ncie cover, or reload after killing evevry guy. Thanks Black Duck. And by the way, I am the sort of AT guy who does not get in vehicles and gets a gold medal. I just got the Veteran AT-Combat today. Played in Sharqi and DAO all the way!
