Frustrations with chopper thieves.

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

Ok - I really don't see what you are complaining about.

Enemies are coming to your base to steal your chopper. That is like Christmas - enemies are coming to YOU - delivering pts to you. Free kills for the taking. You have every advantage there is - you know where they are heading (to the chopper in case you forgot) - you know where they are coming from, and you have the chance to ambush them since you are at YOUR base, which you can immediately respawn at, and ambush them again once they come back to try again. Or you could just sit out in the open and make yourself a target - better yet - just point them to the chopper and hold the door open for them.

Quit your bitching and just kill the corksuckers going for your helo - it is not that hard of a concept. If you can't kill them before they take off - then you need to figure out how to do it right senior noob. FFS what does nerfing helos have anything to do with this. Nothing in the patch mentioned a single f'ing thing about lessening the damage a chopper can take.

Oh as as for retardo #2

if you aren't good at the chopper, i will kill you for it. sorry.

If you aren't good at english - punch yourself in the nuts. Nice stats there champ. You are an ace in the helo let me tell you. On the off chance you actually do play the game - you die as much as you kill in the chopper...such skill. Your 33 hours in the chopper have really made you a master.

I hope to see you around my server. I have a gift for your silly TK'ing lil ass - its called a ban. It will be delivered with many many deaths as a prequel just in case you are wondering noobtard.

I'm not griping as much as I'm celebrating. Like I said, if you're goal in BF2 is to take the other team's chopper, then awesome. Knock yourself out, if that's what makes a great round for you. I'm just saying how much happier I'll be when you can be brought down before you get off the ground OR getting knocked out of the sky by the AA more often.

And then you're more than welcome to lather, rinse, and repeat.

See you falling from the sky in January! Happy New Year!

Oh, and here is all you need to know about the upcoming patch:

"- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
- TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range
- Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced
- AA missile lock has been improved"

Looks like they are adding some weak spots to Deathstars.

You already can kill them before they take off - choppers are vunerable for about 30-45 secs while they are spinning up. If you cannot dispatch of them by that point - then you deserve it to be stolen. By the way - you might want to try a weapon other than your pistol or knife when trying to take it out on the pad. Personally I will not hold my breath for the AA being the saving grace either. All the pilot has to do is flare after take off, and dive it to get speed and duck in behind terrain or buildings before you can regain that lock or reload. Just becuase they get the AA to hit more - it is not going to hit through the flares (unless they do another EA fix - then flares will not be worth a damn).

Oh and megawhompertoo wtf are you doing even posting about choppers being stolen. All you do is play Strike at Karkand - as far as I remember - there are no choppers in there. I bow before you oh wonderour player of all players - you are right, I am wrong.

I am by no means the best - and have never claimed to be....but you really outta get some time under your belt in the game...and maybe be semi decent at it before you start yelling for a patch about something that is not really needed.

Thanks for the input though.

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

Likewise, you thoughts are appreciated. First, though, I didn't realize there was a minimum point requirement to post comments (now I have been so humbled by your Oober Score, oh BeerStein-ocrates). Second, I've been playing mostly SF maps since October (you remember--the general topic of this forum and my post?) instead of vBF2. And finally, there's no need to bow before little ol' me. In fact, I'm downright envious of YOUR ability to put an average of three and half hours a day into the game. That's great champ! Really!

It will, however, simply make for a much more satisfying game when two BeerStein chopper philosophers don't get to dictate who wins a 64 man match.

Influence-->yes. Dictate-->no.

EA seems to agree. But wtf do they know? You've got Oober on your side.

Happy trails.

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

Nice to see you can read a complete post before you respond. I never said anything was based upon my stats, or stated that I was by any means a phenominal player - or any kind of statement that brought my stats into question.

2 chopper philosophers dictate the outcome of a 64 player map? Never in my aformentioned hours of playing have I seen 2 people determine the outcome of a 64 player server. The game is balanced enough (yes there are issues) that if there are skilled people playing the game - 2 people should not be able to command the map. Re-read that - if there are enough SKILLED people playing. You get a map of retardos - then sure, 2 people actually doing a mediocre job might be able to have some influence on the lemmings.

If you are in SF, and getting owned by a chopper - oh I don't know...maybe go inside? Ok, so how about in vBF2 - yes you can get owned...oh but then again - you can spawn at a hell of a lot more places, have a ton more vehicles to choose from to get away from or shoot down said chopper - or take them out with a jet (which cannot be killed by a chopper very easily) ...or shoot I don't know - maybe get your team to work together and take them out of the picture - oh gee - that works for both versions doesn't it?

The whole basis for this original post is retarded. Why not just complain that you get shot too much and you think everyone else's armor must be downed.

What I am really suprised that has not come up is the fact that the couple people supporting this BS is that they think people are hacking. This would just help to round out this garbage.

If you think I am just talking trash because I do not want the chopper to be touched - you are wrong. I totally agree with the fact that AA is no where near what it should be - I have no opinion on getting 8 missles vs 14 because I always work with my gunner and only use missles as backup anyway. As for the distance of the TV missle - bah - sucks they are nerfing it - but I guess enough of the lemmings complained they were getting killed by helicopters they could not see...gee kind of like the real world - doesn't that just suck. And no - this game is not a sim - so don't even take this conversation there.

I do not spend all my time in choppers - even though you might say my stats say otherwise. I have spent very little to no time in choppers on SF - they are no where near as fun as they were in vBF2....so I am not complaining because I am a SF chopper whore. You could take them out of SF and I would not care a bit.

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

especially in ghost town. I sit in my little sniper spot.. just waiting.. zoomed in on the cockpit.. then.. just when you think "YIPPIEEEEEE ive got the chopper"

BLAMMO

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

oh noes, my grammatical skillz aren't teh l33t.


haaahahah flamers are fuuny :P


in all seriousness, my frustration mostly comes from people doing it to me. my gf and i have developed quit the team (it helps to sit next to your gunner, and have line of sight to their monitor). when we try to have a peaceful game, the majority of the time we are killed for the chopper, only to have it crashed within seconds. i share the annoyances of the maker of this thread. i simply choice to do unto others before they do unto me. i am a bad person. swoot.

oh, and as for my "nooblet" scores, i work two jobs. get over yourself.

btw, beerstein, you are a pretty confrontational fellow.

Right. I saw that you claimed not to be bragging about your stats, and then you trashed mine. That's like claiming not to have a superiority complex and then lecturing the rest of us on your superiority. Your Ooberness.

But actually, in a funny kind of way, we are in total agreement:

You endorse sending 1/4 of a team over to uncap bases to take the enemy chopper,

and

I endorse EA's decision to nerf said choppers.

The result? The chopper get's blown up more often AND you get to come steal it more often! Super! If that's what makes a great round for you, then (again) I think you ought to get to do it more often. So does EA! We're all winners! (Or whiners...as the case may be...)

Tell the truth--you're really looking forward to the patch, aren't you? So many choppers to steal, so many new opportunities opening up, so many, so many...

And you're absolutely right. I'm all for having a couple of skilled pilots being able to greatly influence the outcome of huge maps. Now they'll just have to work a little harder to be as influential. Are we afraid our MadSkillzYo are going to tank with the patch? Just a little? There, there now your Ooberness, it'll all be ok.

P.S. I never accused you of hacking your way to The BeerStein Hall of Chopper Flame-ology. You stats show you to be a fairly decent in-game pilot, who branches out fairly often into other types of vehicles. Congrats, and may the Oober always be with you, your Ooberness.

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

Personally I can't go a single match on ghost town with out a piece of trash tking me for a helo. I hate to admit it but I have had to tk in defense just to stay in a BH. Then you get the smacktards who if they can't have thier bestest friend in the bh with them will go and crash it on purpose, killing 6 other people. I'm all for the chopper nerfing. Mostly in part to the lame players who tk for a chopper. I was really starting to get good at killing and flying with the apache too.

Yeah, I hear you.

It either that or a mega spawn rape by the opposing team at your uncappable base flag. Why on earth does this map seem to get people doing this more than any other beat me.

Re: Frustrations with chopper thieves.

If I really want the chopper(which doesn't happen much now) then you will be meeting a friend of mine, called the N00b Ejector =)
