Please explain to me...

This is from BF2 1.20 patch readme.
----------------------
NEW FEATURE
VISIBLE UAV
- The UAV that is placed by Commanders will now include a visual element. An actual UAV will appear within the
UAV detection radius and circle the area. Players will be able to shoot it down, bringing the UAV detection to a premature end.
The Commander will be able to continue placing UAVs once the timer resets, as per current design.
-----------------------
I cant understand this how??

There is a really crappy looking little circling handglider thing in the air.

Don't bother looking, it's so ****.

when the commander uses a uav. if the soliders look up when they are under it they can see it. and shoot it down. that will stop the other team from seeing their location.

Re: Please explain to me...

When the commander places the uav anywhere on the map it will show up on the map for all players to see. So you can see where your enemy has a uav if he has one up. Next time your commander places a UAV go to where it is and look up and you shall see it circling above.

In theory....... In practice, though, I haven't been able to bring one down yet. And it's not from lack of trying.

Re: Please explain to me...

I've shot several of them down. Sometimes it only takes a few LAV shots, but other times it can take more or less. I think it must be due to the fact that other people are probably shooting at it as well.

Don't blame the game for how messed up the Predator looks with that inverted tail.

Guess you've never actually seen it. The UAV has some nice details.

I also notice a lot of people on these forums talk out their asses. Such as the guy I just quoted.

It's made things funnier. Like when you think you have the perfect hiding spot/perfectly camoflauged and someone kills you in a way where they JUST HAD to have known you where there. And when you die, as your looking at the sky waiting for an imaginary medic, you see a stupid peice of sh!t enemy UAV with its massive red tag circling above you. Funny stuff, takes away alot of ''did he cheat'' thoughts...

Guess it's just my graphics card then.

But I have seen it, and on my machine it *does* look like a crappy handglider thing.

Oh, did I mention I don't fly and it was in Karkand. Try looking at it on *that* map.

I'd take a screenshot to prove I'm not a liar, because I take great offence at being told I talk out of my ass, but I don't know how.

Re: Please explain to me...

Anyone seen this yet the enemy places a UAV and then your side places the UAV an they crash into each other . lol I've only seen this once but it was well funny could of been a mistake on my part as it was the very first round i joined in 1.2 and in the first minute but that's exactly what it looked like on my screen.
