Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

Using a jeep or hummer packed with C4 is fine. God lordy thats used in real life!!!!

Its only used by fanatic terrorists, so I wouldnt be surprised if EA/Dice would make it illegitimate...

Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

Just last night I messed up and rammed a chopper with my F-15 and the dude starts saying wtf(really spelling it out) and stuff at me and says that was like my 6th time.

WRONG IT WAS MY SECOND!! You know how hard it can be when you try to attack a slow moving chopper after making the course correction less then 2 seconds ago when you saw it and almost flew by!


And have you guys ever see a yeti with a dozen condoms of coke burst in his belly? It's a bad secene man..

I think it's a legit tactic. I strap a few C4 on a vehicle and cruise to a tank. If I can get behind him and he stops, I get close and run like hell and then go boom.

If you're only going to use the chopper as kamikaze, get out and let the people who at least try to fly have a go.

Well the Japanese seem to think it's a legitimate tactic, as well as the Nazi's and guerrilla, insurgent, and terrorist groups in the Middle East and Sri Lanka.

There is even a reference to a suicide attack in the biblical story of Samson.
And Samson said, 'Let me die with the Philistines!' And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. (Judges 16:30)

And it is said that during the Crusades, the Knights Templar destroyed one of their own ships, killing 140 Christians in order to kill ten times as many Muslims.

So I would say suicide bombings (or Kamikaze's) are a legitimate tactic in the fields of BF2, although sometimes annoying.

Its situational, if you use it as a last resort to help win the map, then yes its a tactic...(see Japan WW2 ) if its the start of a map,a close game,or somewhere in between or you do it just for your personal score then its still a tactic...all be it a crappy one.....(unless your going down anyway and your trying to make the biggest bang to help your team when you die)

Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

It's what idiots use and will defend as a legitmate tactic, even though it isn't.

Powerfully argued. You just changed my mind. You'll probably be quoted someday in a book or something.

I'd like to hear the definition of unlegit. You don't need to modify your copy of the game to ram. Ramming makes you suffer for wasting those assets (unlike stat padding with which you don't get any penalty when you revive someone even know you know you're friend is about to knife them again) and ramming, unlike getting bombed a jet or getting killed by a heli with a gunner on Sharqi, is easily escapable. Just don't take your beloved flying death dealer (blackhawk) off of the ground.

And this is coming from someone who uses a black hawk a lot more than a jet.

Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

whats your thoughts on this...

if the game was built to say if you suicide you cant play untill round ends then YES its legitimate, the person doing is sacrafising his own gameplay time to help the team...

but....knowing you are going to spawn in 5 seconds doesnt really make it that fair, legit wouldnt really be the fair word for it in this case more of a despret act or another myg0t fan ****ing players off :P

Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

kamakazie is acceptable in real life cuz you actually cant respawn believe it or not. but in a videogame what ever cuz it still can happen and is impossible to regulate besided why not take a few down with you

In bf2 im not so sure as its not very sportmanly.

In real life however i think there is a important distinction to be made between a suicide bomber and a kamikazee bomber.

A suicide bomber generally targets civillians in order to terrorise.

A Kamikazee bomber targets military installations/personell and so in my view is legitimate as its no different than having a particularly effective targetting system.

I'm not sure about your distinction between the two. Firstly, if you look up the word Kamikaze on Wikipedia, in the English language it basically means suicide bomber. Secondly, suicide bombers are also used against military and political targets.

I believe the reason you think the two are different is because in recent years, Islamic extremists have used this tactic against civilians to instil fear and terror. In this case the suicide bombing is regarded as an act of terrorism.

In BF2 I don't there is any way to really stop this tactic. Some server admins allow it, while others don't, some players use it, while others don't...

I do it all the time. Why? Its war, there are NO RULES in war.....

Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

It's a smart tactic. If your gonna die, run into something. It's why the japanize fighters in WWII were so dangerous...

Re: is Kamakazi a legit battle tactic???

Jihad jeep into tank = good. Tank can take out a lot of people and if you kamakazi into you then you are losing one ticket instead of 10-20.

Ram a blackhawk with the Mec chopper is legit also as long as you see more than one person in the blackhawk. Again..losing 1 ticket and saving 10-20 most likely. If not more..

So as long as you are saving your team from getting raped by a vehicle then it's fine.

Are you really seriously trying to justify it in real life but not in a video game? You need to take a break from video games. Seriously. Unplug your PC now.
