BF2 Pet Peeves

[SirCyRo]

Here are some my pet peeves with BF2 that I wish Dice would address, in no particular order:

1: AutoBalance On - When its on, you may get switched to another side to even teams out. I am currently trying to get my War College ribbon, so wins are VERY important to me. A number of times, I've been on the winning side, score like 160-40 or something, then some discruntled dude on the losing side leaves, causes the teams to be unbalanced, and BOOM, I get switched. I think it looks at the player with least team score or soemthing and switches that person, regardless of overall points.

2: Spawn Points - Not random enough. Most good players know where people are going to spawn. For example, just about everyone knows that you spawn in the archway across from Hotel on Karkand. spawn there, and there's a good chance you'll have a APC shooting u in the back.

3: Characters prone are more powerful than standing charaters - A # of times I've had a DAO12, in a confrontation with an enemy. He dives (dolphin diving still exists), I run PAST him, I"m litterally above his butt shooting down, He's facing away but twisting towards me and up. I'm shooting his head, he gets the kill, somehow. That doesn't seem logical. Maybe the game is just not displaying to ME, what the enemy is SEEING. Maybe he had a good look at me, but I don't SEE it that way.

That's about it for now. The spawn points and autoswitching are my biggest peeves.

That's all my venting for now.

Um, #3 is the biggest problem in BF2 by about a milliion miles.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

Oh, I forgot to mention one. Its more of a bug then a pet peeve.

I've noticed, especially on Dalian Plant, Operation Cleansweep, and sometimes Daqing Oilfields, there is a graphical bug when u are commander. If you are in commander view, the one zoomed all the way out so you can see more of the map, the spot you click to do someting ends up being 1-2 cm on the screen over. I'll click an area to UAV it, and the UAV ends up being 100 yards away from where I wanted to UAV, or drop a supply, or arty. If I zoom in one level, I don't seem to haev that problem. Other people I've talked to have seen this problem too.

Oh, and sometimes when you click to drop a supply, the supply button will depress and recharge, as if the supply was dropped, but you wont see a parachute icon, and if you zoom in, no supply was dropped.

Questions:
Once you have the 3:1 W/L ratio, do you have to hold it until you get 45 commander points? or... Just get the 3:1 and the little green checkmark, then it won't matter if you go below before you get the 45 commander points? Anyone know?

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

I have no sympathy for the first at all. The war college ribbon is an idiotic reward for poor sportsmanship that you can't possibly win by playing fair games.

That said, I do hate autobalance, it's there to even up teams when one falls too far out of line, but let's face it, they'll be even again in 2 minutes so who cares?

Would be nice if it worked like ET's shuffling: Start a new round, teams are re-ordered based on rank. Top ranking person gets put on team 1, second-top on team 2, third-top on team 1, fourth on team 2, fifth on team 1, etc.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

I think you have to get the 45 after you qualify with the hours. Becuase I've got more than 45 commander points several times, have like a 3.5/1 ratio, but only 31 or so commander hours. The 45 team points is not checked on BF2S.

Seconded and about the commander bug, thats not a bug, its supposed to happen.

Imagine how I've felt several times when after playing for an hour as a commander, I got switched to the loosing side because my team points were 0.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

haha, yea, and then u can't get commander on the losing side, cuz some other shmuck already has it.

You are wrong.

You just threw out a blanket insult to those of us who do not stat pad, switch teams or play on 64 player servers running 16 player maps. Some of us actually work at getting that ribbon and you comment was out of line.

Flaming people you don't know that are trying to earn something in the game in a legitamate manner is a very childish thing to do. Comments like yours do not aid in this conversation and if you have nothing to conrtibute, then please leave the thread.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

about #1, i think they need to revamp it again. should switch lonewolves first, followed by players with non-matching tags, then as a last resort, any squadmember, even if it's a clan member. it seriously peeves me when i'm playing with my 5 friends, we got a full squad, then one or 2 of us are randomly switched and stuck on that side for the next 3 maps, especially when half the server is lonewolves running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

My pet peeve is the community as of late. Here's how they act:
"YAY! 1.2 will get rid of n00bish activity"
"EW! 1.2 sucks and created bugs and it's the perfect patch that n00bs would ask for"
"EA is pushing back EF to fix the 1.2 bugs?!?!?! wtf is wrong with them?"

So stupid.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

I'm really enjoying 1.2 :/ Seriously.

But......my pet peeve is how common glitches are, especially imm. glitches.

Re: BF2 Pet Peeves

my bigges tpet peeve is when a commander gets bored and decides to use his wonderful abilities killing lone players in the back of the map who are doing abosolutley nothing to influence the battle.
