New patch 1.2 Video!

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

stop flaming Dice for something you obviously seem to have no clue about ...

Testers shouldn't be releasing videos of a game/patch/etc on community websites. That's pretty much the bottom line. I'd be stunned if Dice condoned this sort of thing.

I also noticed you have an inflammatory comment for just about everything. You should practice what you preach about flaming.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

What always bothered me was that it took mulitiple tanks rounds to take out a chopper. If a chopper pilot is so bold to get so low to the ground, he deserves to get blasted out of the sky with one tank round, or two AT rounds, or two hits from a stinger. Period. Because it is SO EASY to repair a chopper, there has to be some balance to that. Yes the chopper has many dangers to it, so does armor. But these vehicles will still be fun to play.

I always thought the MEC chopper gunner's weapon, the auto grenade launcher (whatever that thing is called) was WAY too over powered. I think it should either get a chain gun like the Cobra, or have the splash damage reduced on the nades.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

How so? It will still be really easy to repair them, they can still evade AA with flares and then take out the AA gunner. Anyone here remember Desert Combat choppers? Remember it didn't take an act of god to take one of those down, but they were still incredibly fun to fly with?

Couldnt agree more.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

I just want to say Thank you to Demize99 to even take the time to read this forum and reply. I feel much better about the patch knowing that dice is listening to us at the least. My biggest fear was that these changes were being made arbitrarily by some sort of Oligarchy, and the community would be cut out of the loop. Even if Dice doesn't agree with our opinions I am grateful that they are taking the time to hear us out. Once again Thank you.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

the c4 hasnt been totally fixed but it certainly gives you enough time to get out of there, they cant really jump and throw you start throwing before you jump and the detonator takes alot longer to pull out and push it.

the support is a dominating force now, very little spread and will mow anyone down in a 200 m radius.

grenade launcher has been changed to atleast you cant aim at your feet, but you can still use it close up.

and aa owns everything now, planes are no match anymore, they would have to constantly circle as tight as possible to get away from it , even if they roll or go in the air they are doomed.

Are you a tester? (The question is not meant to be confrontational, just curious.)

OK, so if the chopper pilot flies too high, beefed up AA missles take him out, if he flies low to avoid them, some guy with an AT...takes him out. If these patch changes are final all they will do is force choppers into some obscure position on the battlefield that doesnt really help the team at all because if they pop out too long their gonna get owned by 15 seconds of heavy MG fire, 1 AT missle, or stingers. Theres no balance in it at all. It's a heavy handed way to deal with choppers being a little over powered. Tanks will own the battlefield and people are gonna start bitching about those, too.

Point taken, but anyone who has any clue on how to effectively fly a chopper now shouldn't be effected much with the patch because tank and AT hits are rare on attack choppers. This patch sounds like it will fix the problem with choppers just being able to idle (hover) over an area and dominate it while their teams tanks and troops roll in. It'll change the tactic to "hit and run" rather than just "hit and hit" like it is now. That's how you survive in any situation (other than sniping) in BF2 anyway, especially with tanks.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

I mentioned this earlier, but no one commented.

Did the AT missiles seem to be quicker to anyone else here? They seemed to be about 1/4 faster then normal.

Yes, they do seem to travel faster. Could be an illusion though. Maybe when you are actually shooting it you are just thinking "Rocket must fly faster..must fly faster...must fly...<dead>"

You guys are wet blankets. You are like that dweeby kid in third grade who always told on you for eating glue. And that same kid who told on you for smoking in the bathroom in ninth. Then told the cops when you beat the **** out of him for doing that.
