Hate BF2 1.2

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

Well folks, I said that the changes would kill the choppers, they have.

Now its not so bad for jets, which is ironic because they were the real overpowered ones in the first place.

But I joined a ghost town game today...and you have to be a total noob to try to fly on that map if anyone is in any AA. I mean its ridiculous how AA never misses now and all it takes is any player with zero skill to hop in and left click twice.....

I mean really, I did the usual, drop flares, use terrain, its all useless because the missiles almost never miss, its like 99% accuracy....

I mean chopper out of chopper was blown out of the sky until both choppers just weren't used anymore for the duration of the time I was in the server (next 4 rounds or so).

I mean really, why would anyone want to hop into something that takes skill to use and is a perfect target in the air when all it takes is someone on the other team to hop into a stinger and left click twice....a death for u and two no skill kills for them...

The second worst thing about this patch is how quickly you can stand up after you go prone.

This is crazy, I mean I will go prone, see someone shooting at me, in a split second I will hit the spacebar so I can run away...but nothing happens and I am killed. It is NOT neccesary to stop people from going from prone to stand to prevent bunny hopping....

No medic/ammo bag throwing....wtf....

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

Arguing over the internet is just like running in the special olympics even if you win, your still retarded!

That quote is like a fart joke, no matter how many times you say it, it's still not ****ing funny.


To the thread starter:

The "battlefield spirit" you're used to is apparently getting free kills non-stop with the blatantly-overpowered ****. Boohoo, no more getting 40:1 with minigun drivebys on Mashtuur or jet whoring on Gulf of Oman for the entire map. God forbid AA actually does what it's supposed to and you actually have to dump flares.

Snipers ruling the battlefield? Maybe against a bunch of clueless noobs, but get on a server with GOOD players, and there are too many medics to keep a single person pinned. You could get a headshot every time, they'll be revived and running around before you can put the scope back in your face.

I mean its ridiculous how AA never misses now and all it takes is any player with zero skill to hop in and left click twice.....

And how stupid was it before that a jet could fly faster than a stinger missile?

With choppers, a smart pilot is never in sight of more than one stinger anyway, a smart gunner will blast most stinger shooters off their post instantly (especially since ALL of the stingers are in stupidly-obvious and uncovered positions). The difference is that now you can't just get a total noob in either seat and just wait until the pilot spins around and rocket volleys the stinger platform.

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

LOL. First it was how much 1.12 sucked and how everyone was drooling for 1.2.

Now 1.2 sucks.

As for me, I play the game, I enjoy it. Any changes just give me a challenge to overcome them.

I always find it funny how peoples main argument for their point (for your case, support of 1.2) is to either change the subject or the call the other people whiners....or not actually build support for your case...

Anyways...insta-kill no skill AA that never misses is not my idea of balanced....as i said before...1.2 i had no problem taking out choppers...jets were the problem.

Now....jets are still powerful, but choppers are way worse....so much that alot of expert chopper pilots are just going to karkand...theres no hope when all it takes is to go up to the stinger, hit E, aim in the general direction of chopper, left click once and twice and BOOM...easy kills....

Come on....you CANT call that balanced and have any sense in you at the same time...

I'm with you there. I try to stay out of the politics behind the game, and adapt to the game as it is.

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

hehe seems noone like the air elements of 1.2... fortunately i usually only play karkand :)
Anyone else notice that you can still dolphin dive? I mean, I do it all the time to revive dudes

My case is that the thread starter was wrong. Those statements are my support. So what exactly are you trying to say?

Now....jets are still powerful, but choppers are way worse....so much that alot of expert chopper pilots are just going to karkand...theres no hope when all it takes is to go up to the stinger, hit E, aim in the general direction of chopper, left click once and twice and BOOM...easy kills....

I don't. I actually think the chopper HP nerf was totally unneccessary (except for the transport choppers, which STILL get practical invincibility from engineers in the back seat), but the AA buff wasn't. When something made for AA is one of the worst ways to actually take down stuff in the sky, something's broken.

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

You can dive to prone while in midair...dolphin diving involves jumping, hitting Z and then jumping instantly again...try that...it won't work...

When something made for AA is one of the worst ways to actually take down stuff in the sky, something's broken.

The problem is now that AA takes ZERO skill to be 100% effective....

The deeper problem lies with the fact that AA doesn't rely on skill...heatseeking is the problem....once you fire...the game does the rest, and thats NOT how it should be.

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

From what I read, it just goes with my original observations and predictions of knowing that the patch was going to be a MEH patch. Why? Because we have the extremists on one sides screaming YAH! this and that because AA is better, gun accuracy, BH, DD, etc. Then the other side of the coin of people that think the patch ruined the game.

I am in the middle. I am disappointed with some of the features, and happy with others. Though I thought the air power was too powerful, I did not believe it deserved to take such a beating. Support guns are too accurate now, same with snipers. If you couldn't hit anything with either class before, you shouldn't be a support/sniper. I am happy about the GL being useless while jumping, however I do not like not being about to shoot anything at all while jumping. It was useful when jumping over a wall or something and blasting away at the badguys.

Here is the thing boys and girls. No matter how much you complain or dislike what the patch did...there is nothing you can do about it. It make suck horribly or be the holy grail to you...regardless...even if things were changed (again), it will be months from now before another major patch such as this will be released. Rest assured, a new patch will most likely be released with the release of Armored fury...but, whether or not that patch does anything more than make the game compatable with the booster pack will remain a mystery.

I'm sorry to all those that are unhappy with the patch...you can thank those that whine and complain, and never took the time as I have or others to over come the challenges the game presented. So a guy tubes you...learn to shoot faster. So a aircraft kills you. Get a man from your team in every AA on the map, and they will go down (now only one AA with the nerfing of aircraft and super AA) My point is...the whole point of the game, the vehicles, the weapons; each had their own advantage. There was only one or two aircraft per side for a reason...because they were powerful. The GL was powerful because it gave the assualt class an edge that it lacked compared to other classes. We just are going to have to live with it...I just hope that they stop dramatically changing the game...because i was having fun with it as it was....now i have to relearn the game...again...and hopefully I will be able to have some fun even with this dramatically different game than before.

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

The problem is now that AA takes ZERO skill to be 100% effective....

And what skill do you propose it should need? How complex does a stationary heat-locking turret need to be?

How much skill does a TOW take?

The deeper problem lies with the fact that AA doesn't rely on skill...heatseeking is the problem....once you fire...the game does the rest, and thats NOT how it should be.

So I'm supposed to hit a jet or fast-moving attack copter how? Optical tracking is NOT good enough, try hitting a chopper UP CLOSE with an AT missile for proof of that.

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

Re: Hate BF2 1.2

i have mixed feelings about the patch, i mean at first it seemed great and all, but now after playing for 3 hours straight, i dunno... accidental TK's in airplanes are still posible, my game is all lagy for some reason, it wasn't like that before i patched it, it ran smooth!. jets seem a little nicer to fly with the new background noise also... but what irritates me is getting shot by a f-15, even after releasing my flares... i just got owned a few rounds ago by a noobtoobin team who wouldn't use anything else... *sigh... guess with the new Anti-Dolphin dive code, we rambo medics wont be able to take down whole squads... :cry: ... *sigh... sniper rifles are deadly now, you dont even need to lie down to get good acc, why should you... boom headshot boom headshot... :| tanks now seem like heaven...
