Patch 1.04 details!!!

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

I love driving into a group of tanks with my C4 Buggy. I usually jump out a couple of meters infront of them - let the buggy roll, and run away backwards, facing them. Then I usually wait until they notice me before I hit the switch.
I then try to imagine the expression on their faces when they see that empty buggy right infront of their tank, and a lonely soldier standing totally calm somewhere in safe distance. It's so satisfying to blow up 2 or 3 tanks/apc's in one well planned strike
Love to do this to tank whores, since you'll usually never find me in an armored vehicle, and it sometimes is the only way to get rid of those easy-kill bastids. Grunt - all the way

Omg. They are listening to all crybabies. Come on this is Battlefield not CS:S. Jets overpowered, Blackhawk overpowered, TANKS overpowered. This is insane.

Agreed. Aside from a few minor tweaks and technical issues, I like the game just fine as it is.

I would like to see the M95 upgraded to a one-shot kill weapon -- leave the sights on this alone if they decide to change the damage.

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

You guys do realize that most of these threads about armor whores would go away if they either split the driver and gunner positions on any road vehicle or delayed/eliminated the quick seat switching.

- A tank/APC would be less of an annoyance if the guy driving it wasn't also the turret gunner.
- A jeep would be less of a threat if the driver didn't roll up with the ride and insta-jump to the turret.

The armor and damage levels are fine. It's the overly arcadelike gameplay that takes out some of the fun. Granted that a realistic war sim would involve more toggles and switches, but that's why we have games like LOMAC and Silent Hunter. Contrarily, if we wanted arcade combat action, we'd go play UT or CS. BF2 should be a balance between the 2 extremes, but there are moments where it leans more toward the arcade play style than realism.

It's odd that 'reduce the damage on C4' isn't mentioned, that would be a biggie, and address so many flaws with C4, including the fact that it's more effective against tanks than the AT class.

no it isn't.

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

Hehe, yes it is. Please, go try a few times, it's flat out stupid how good C4 is against tanks.

Put it on a APC, and drive the thing right up to the tank...there's absolutely nothing the tank driver can do about it, it's a guaranteed kill, and it's not like it takes any particular skill to drive an APC. Other 'suicide bomber' techniques work as well, and in many cases are even better.

Try it and see.

Take care,

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

Reduce C4 damage? There's nothing wrong with it.. If ANYTHING, I'd suggest increasing AT damage.

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

Sounds pretty cool to me :)

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

Nope, reduce C4 damage quite a bit.

C4 isn't supposed to be a supergrenade like it is now. The fact that it's impervious to fire demonstrates the stuff in game isn't 'real' stuff. The fact that it makes special forces able to do all the things special forces can do, plus all the things AT guys can do, plus all the things assault guys can do, plus some of the things engineers can do, makes it just an eense unbalancing.

It needs to be placed slower, and have the damage reduced.

I've no problem with C4 placed on equipment/vehicles destroying them, but 30 feet away, and C4 is still an instant kill on hardened targets. Rubbish on many levels, and unbalancing, which is the real issue.

Take care,

Rick

Re: Patch 1.04 details!!!

My personaly opinon is don't fix it unless it's broken, especially inj this case as every time they fix something tehy break 6 others.

Sure it's good, but it's not better than an AT rocket. The APC+c4 can be easily defeated by shooting the apc with your tank. It's not a guarantee-anything because you have to be right next to your target to plant the c4 and it takes two to kill a tank. It takes two rockets to kill a tank as well if you know where to hit it. You also don't have to run up to it in order to hit it, you can snipe with your rockets from almost across the map. Plus you don't have to worry about dying because you either blew yourself up, your target blow you up, or you blow both of you up.

there is also a bug with the c4, where if you quickly place a c4 and try to switch to you detonator you toss another c4 out. Very annoying and can get you killed very easily.
