I agree with you 100% and what sickens me more, is to know that these fly boys get veteran and expert badges in all of their kits, by killing with Jets and copters. How totally, totally, unfair is that. Its a complete shame
that developers let it happen.

Re: Why many people are quitting BF2 for good -- it's not fun anymore

I love the idea of making jets and heli's land to reload their weapons. I am no noob at this game and I agree with the original post. Two maps come to mind. Operation Clean Sweep and Gulf of Oman. On these maps, if you can back the other into one base, they can be base raped the entire game with a jet. I have also been on the opposite side and had BushViper or BabySpinach raping the hell out of my teams only base. So tell me how do counter this? They have already taken out the one AA, you cannot get into any vehicles, and if you try to cap a flag - you will be bombed.

You can only blame yourself in that situation (OCS). #1 Don't get shot down by the Su, 2) don't let us steal your plane. As soon as that happens it's game over. It's funny how easy it is sometimes - round after round and no one protects the F15. Stupidity is your worst enemy.

True.

True.

Just fought a USMC team that held their jet - that's how you do it folks! Kudos! We still won though.

- give the special forces laser designators, objects are only highlighted in a pilots HUD when they are "painted" with a laser. This means the guy in the AAA isnt highlighted

laser designators/binoculars=good, vehicles that give off heat not showing up as a target=bad. the only vehicles that shouldnt give off a target are vehicles with no driver, because they have no heat. but the game definitly does need laser designators for either spec ops or squad leaders and binoculars for everybody. laser designators are for armor that is hiden from radar (yes it exists), for commander assets, and for "on foot" enemy formations.

- reduce damage to helicopters

already in the patch

- increase damage and damage radius of mobile AAA

what does that mean? you realise that statement is redundent because the acronym aaa stands for armored anti air, correct?

- make ground AAA missles smarted and more powerfull

the patch is supposed to make um smarter but ive seen information that says they still go after teammates. and there is no need to make um more damage, but they do need more brains for sure.

- have more ground AAA instead of mobile AAA have some static guns

which is it, more static, or more mobile!

- force pilots to land, if even for a second to reload

while i wouldnt mind this, im pretty sure the bf2 community would riot if this happened.

- bring back stingers, give them to the enginering class (no one seems to play them)

so the enginier gets to repair and attack air? they carry mines already, are you trying to break thier back? while i do agree with the idea of personal anti air, i think enginier isnt the right class for it. i would say the only way to sneak it in is by messing with the class structure, and i doubt anyone wants to do that.

I agree with the thread starter. Choppers I don't mind as much....but planes are completely overpowered. There is almost no way to kill them outside of another plane. If a problem is present, the solution should NOT be the same problem.

Oh, planes are overpowered? Just use another plane to counter it? The problem STILL exists!


AA does nothing against planes. As for choppers, AA is pretty terrible vs them. I've had a chopper RIGHT in front of my AA just floating there camping the flag. I shot 4 times at him locked on and every AA missile missed. Pretty pathetic.

However, at least choppers are slow enough to be able to counter with AT kits.


I refuse to play on plane maps with more than one per side. Why? It's not fun. Planes take hardly ANY skill. They just press one button and everything in the immediate area dies, and they have extremely little risk. I've tried it. I only have a mouse and keyboard. I jumped in the plane. I flew for about 10 minutes without ever going below half health. Any time I saw anyone on the ground, I'd go down and blow everything to bits getting massive kills. It was completely cheap....and I never got CLOSE to dying. I ended up flying up, ejecting, and parachuting down to a flag to capture it. Imagine how much better I could have done with a joystick.

The tank whores are the same way, they just make the badges meaningless. I've seen guys with 10,000 kills as a sniper, and think wow, this guy must be really good, then I see that only 600 of those kills were with a sniper rifle, lol. :laugh:

The pistol and knife badges are the only ones you can fudge on, you NEED to use those weapon to qualify, that is the way is should be with ALL classes, then the badge might mean something.

Re: Why many people are quitting BF2 for good -- it's not fun anymore

I play about once a week only these days. I used to play everyday. The main reason is the bunny hoppers and noob tubers and the lack of new maps and vehicles. The overpowered jets are in the bottom of the list.

We really need new maps and vehicles. With the current ranking system, EA made and community maps almost worthless because no one plays them.

Make the plane wHores land to re supply , how can a plane have new missiles fitted with a quick fly by FFS.

They should approve some of the best community maps for ranked servers, but that might cut into the Booster pack sales, lol.

Re: Why many people are quitting BF2 for good -- it's not fun anymore

I once had the worst round on Dialan Plant ever. I was US and helicopters and planes were taking down everything in their way. We couldn't even reach solid ground......

Re: Why many people are quitting BF2 for good -- it's not fun anymore

AIRCRAFT ARE DESIGNED TO BE THE BEST. You guys that think infantry should have a fair chance against jets are WRONG.

This is the BF2 food chain: infantry < armor < helicopters < jets

If you're getting owned by a jet it's because you simply have less skill. Please get over it before you ruin this game by giving infantry a 50/50 chance at taking down a multimillion dollar jet.

Well also the chance of a plane flying through a whole defended city with no harm is also absurd, so dont come with that bs

Then also if we are getting with realism then planes and helis should actually LAND to get fix and reload ammo

Land to resupply and repair - that's a great idea.

Me, I consider myself an "OK" pilot ( that is, I can take off, land, kill things, and get a score in a jet - bombing, er, I'm not good at. I like doing MG runs and shooting down other planes for the most part :) )

What planes IRL have these magical gremlins that jump up and resupply you? None?

Even the resupply of tanks is more realistic - the supply guy has to come near you ( how he fits a 125mm shell in that magical bag, I have no clue - but at least you have to go NEAR the guy to resupply! LOL! )

Learning to land should be mandatory. Then you gotta turn around, and take off again. Repair should take 2x as long as a tank, and plane spawns should double in length. Enough is enough of these uberpilots dominating games.

If I'm determined enough - yeah, I can get AA to work on them ... er, if you fire it out somewhere in the distance --- it usually hits your guys first... but the best defense I've found against aircraft ---

- Never sit on the airfield.
- Don't get in vehicles
- Don't get in AA ...
- Hmm, doesn't it sound like "don't even play" is a defense?

City maps all the way. ( well, they're more fun too ^_^ )

Choppers I don't really have a problem with. I eat those for lunch.

Turkey sandwich, soda, crackers, AH64 Apache.

Nothin' like that. :P

Hey - by the way - all over the big forums I've seen so much complaining everywhere ... it's going to change. If it doesn't - then DICE is retarded.

Not too retarded though, they didn't make HL :P
