Arty should be as in BF1942, where the snipers give the targets...

I dont want to come over all simple like. But if arty is giving you problems.......Blow it up !

But then you lose all those team damage points.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

I hate arty when you put into a commander that doesn't know what he's doing. Like one time I was playing I was capturing a flag that was MEC. I turned it gray and the flag kept going up. All of a sudden my commander was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, get out of there!" We are like why then boom, artillery hits all of us and he tk's us. I forgive him but we lose the flag to MEC again.
I like arty too the like one time when I called in arty on this MEC flag and he just bombed the sh1t out of it and they lost all of there armor and it was cake going in and taking it. It has it's uses but seriously, when somone signs up to be commander and he's a newb or, even worst, a n00b, then vote against him because you will get blown up by arty anyway by your own team!

We all hate stuff that kills us but I think arty has its place.

Commanders just need to be accountable for TK's (as they originally were) so they are more strategic when it comes to placement and timing..

Remember that in addition to doing away with TK's for arty on your own team that CO's don't get points for arty kills in their game score. Sure some TK's by arty are due to CO's being dumb but many also come from idiot team mates who ignore the big red arty symbol on their mini-map, as well as the "artillery in your area!" call on the in-game sound.

I would keep the arty as is but dummy down the points earned as commander. it's too easy to pad.

Commanders don't get points for arty kills. In actuality, arty kills by the Commander take away point earning opportunities from their team, which results in a lower score for the Commander as the CO score is the total points earned by their team divided by the number of team members.

artillery should only be allowed if a squad leader asks for it in a certain situation.

Already mentioned and shot down since the SL doesn't have a big picture of the battlefield.

For all you that complain about being artillery'ed, maybe you should pay attention to the BIG RED ARTILLERY SYMBOL on you map, and take some cover or move out, then go cap the flag.

Personally, I see one rambo capping a flag surounded by 50 red dots sorry dude, learn to play, cause arty is coming in so the squad that's going in can actually get the flag. Funny how you see a big red artillery symbol on the map and green dots on the outside and a smurf or two running into the middle.

You're messing with me. That cant be right. I get great scores when I play commander. Are you telling me that *my* great scores are the result of other people doing *their* killing/capping? That would suck. I specifically dont go into helos or jets for the easy points.

Say it aint so.

Tis very true. Higher the memebers of your teams score is, the higher yours is, and vise versa.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

It would be awesome if when arty is about to come, the area of the ground that is gonna be hit by arty would start flasing red so you know that arty is incoming. (sort of like the crate icon on the 3d-map) it would really help a-lot of people since the ARTY YOUR AREA warning doesn't seem to be enough

Artillery is the gayest thing evar.

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

The best part of BF2 is an uninterrupted LARGE SCALE, fair INFANTRY battle.

Simply, artillery becomes used excessively and ruins a load of fun. You're wrong if you think it attracts more people to the game

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

I cant stand arty

[imported_SpungE]

Re: the new patch (atrillery in your area)

To fix arty:

Recover time should be doubled.
Every 2 tk's should -2
People who are not in the radius before it is launches but run into it should not count.

But of course that last one requires more than one guy with a coffee and 2 slippers.
