Breaking News!

thought that would make you read it!
been playing since it came out as quiet a few of you have
when are people going to learn what red skull and cross bones icon means?
now i can hear you all saying blah! a sniper moaning but i play nearly all of the available kits, the explosives are there for special ops to stop that tank kicking your ass and the sniper stops the guy coming up behind you adding you too his stats so is it my fault when you walk into a skull and cross bones icon? use your eyes! the claymores are for the snipers protection while he's covering your ass! so maybe next time i'm behind the scope i'll just let him add you then get my points once your dead!

please stop punishing for your own stupidity!

Re: Breaking News!

I agree the skull and cross bones need to be color coded. This would help a lot. I have come up with a code based on trafic light colors.

Green for C-4...You can walk and drive over them without setting them off

Yellow for Engineer Mines...You can walk over them but not drive over them

Red for Claymores...You cant walk or drive over them

I know this is not based on destructive power but it is based on knowledge most people already have. Green-go, Yellow-caution, Red-dont go. The last thing most people need is more things to keep in thier head when being shot at. Thats why its based on Traffic light colors. Also these need to be fluorescent colors, so they are easy to see...Red

Re: Breaking News!

good idea with the color idea but i think some people don't even look when i go up a ladder i look at the top to check and if i inadvertently get caught up in a team mates explosion i don't punish and if they apologize i tell them no probs my fault even did that when the commander used to get punished for arty i only punish if someone stands in front of me and literally executes me

forum ranks have nothing to do with your BF2 stats.
They are related to post count in the game forums and nothing more.

People will continue to buy the game. So that means nUbs will continue to be idiot's. If a veteran of the game is doing this well...then...umm...they should just stop playing all together. I think you should be able to pick your own clay's though I mean wtf. All server's should just put on forgive for punish sett. Not sure if this is possible for ranked.

WHat you think that when you register on THIS forum that it automatically GUESSES your BF2 account name and brings up your stats?

Re: Breaking News!

Last night I saw something REALLY annoying. There was a sniper at Karkand on the "island" at the water crossing, along with a spec ops. The spec ops was sitting there laying his C4 and effectively destroying everything that was coming across....good. Now the sniper was sitting his claymores in with the C4...bad, so now, instead of being able to get out and cap flags, we were held back and had to blow his claymores before crossing, but he was standing right there, so it was get a TK for blowing him up so we could pass, or wait for a vehicle to come and set them off. The bad part was....if you didn't see the sniper you'd run right into it thinking it was all C4. Snipers....your claymore are not AT mines, don't use them as such.

Re: Breaking News!

Claymores don't do crap to even weak vehicles anyway

Re: Breaking News!

The color code idea is great, or something along those lines, like different icons altogether. The problem is, you see the red skull and have no idea what it is - can you walk over it safely (C4, AT mine) or not (Claymore)?

Re: Breaking News!

Yeah I'm sick of not knowing what the danger is be it mine,claymore or C4 from a distance. Its just good you can blow up mines and claymores now. Means I can knife more snipers muahaha.

I think a lot of people still don't know about the left alt key that it displays the flags and the danger symbols, if they do then they don't have any excuses. However I have been guilty a couple of times from running over friendly mines because I also use left alt for my TS push to talk key and haven't re-pressed it again afterwards DOH!

Re: Breaking News!

You mean there are actually people who have the 3D map off by default?

A question to those with high graphics settings. Can you, from a distance, tell the difference between C4 or Claymores? I surely can't, on my settings.

Re: Breaking News!

People should just not punish all together. I mean look at the kills. If it was you and a bunch of teammates, punish, it was probably his fault unless you were in a vehicle. If it was only you or you and some enemies it was your fault. Don't punish and deal with it.
