IS EA/DICE going to think about the SF players, or just let us die out?

Re: IS EA/DICE going to think about the SF players, or just let us die out?

I owned a map of levithan tonight. However EA DOES need to fix to that lame ass glitch where the helicopters are sometimes a slide show. It is obviously an issue with Special Forces. It only happens part of the time. Its not just one person, a good majority do get it.

I can advoid one Linebacker but as said before, 2 Linebackers, 3 or 4 AA guns on the buildings. Its not a fun round at all on Ghost Town. The map is small as it is. If you play Ghost Town you spend your time ducking down waiting for a UAV in hopes of seeing a AA vehicle. If the linebacker sees you first, and fires all its shots, flares will not help you. Considering everyone targets a helicopter and puts a few rounds here and there from a PKM, it dies pretty fast.

I do not know who designed the BF2 maps but alot of them weren't very smart. One team gets an uncapturable air field, and the other doesn't. Levithan is huge on 64 man version, yet only one team gets an attack helicopter. Theres very little AA on this map.. Ghost Town is small, yet two helicopters spawn side by side almost. With two Mobile AA guns directly infront of both them, just asking for someone to camp the helo. It has more AA yet its so small. I agree ghost town is a wreck even with 20 people on it, it gets way out of hand. Everyone from the opposite team is always in an AA gun.
I played a round yesterday I must of killed this guy 5 times in a row. He was always in an AA gun. He died so much he called me a cheater, and started a vote kick. Then everyone said "Hes not a cheater just a helo whore". Then before I knew three or four people were talking to me like dirt. I guess we aren't allowed to have a favorite vehicle.

To me tanks are boring to be in, I really don't care for ranking, or stats. I just play for fun, the maps are now repetitive, and no fun. Then to top it off EA is working on their little BF2142, and making booster packs so they can get their greedy little hands on some more money. I am just waiting on mods, hopfully they don't end up buying PoE out, and making us pay for that. Either way helicopters are fun, I like to fly... I like helicopters period, If the tanks did more then just fire two rounds, they might be interesting. The one thing that is balenced in the game is the tanks unfortuntly everything else is unbalenced this includes the J-10s. People will deny this, and hate on me for saying it buts its true. To bad EA is to poor to hire some people to go over some of the custom maps and have them put on the servers. Its not like the server companies aren't putting money in their pockets for the little ranked servers.
Everyone is so worried about their damn rank, they never play custom maps. I downloaded them, no one ever plays them. Every server is almost always empty. Shame isn't it?

Helicopters are a slide show ? What ?

Re: IS EA/DICE going to think about the SF players, or just let us die out?

The pilot seat slide show is why I don't play SF anymore, waste of money. I bought it because I also like flying heli's. Nothing else gives me the same buzz, not planes not tanks, not apc's ect. I do like knifing/shock paddling but nothing compares to flying helis.

Trouble is because of the slide show I can't fly them. I had 1 day for some reason it was ok and I could. I thought I had fixed it by doing several tweaks, then the next day back to a slide show.

What ****es me off is this is why I bought SF to fly the new heli's and other than 1 day or should I say a few rounds I haven't been able too. Now I find out DICE/EA have washed their hands of SF and won't fix this problem, it down right ****es me off! Its hardly going to make me want to buy anymore booster packs is it because what guarantee is there that it won't be the same in them too and they will never be fixed if there are any problems.

I only wish I had waited to find this out 1st and I never would have bought SF.

-No stamina/can't run when there is tear gas near you when spawning this just happened to me twice.

Thats the whole purpose of tear gas. To stun and confuse you. Learn to play and put on your gas mask when you hear the sound of tear gas dispurse. I never get caught in tear gas unless i fumbled with my controls and didnt activate the tear gas mask in time.

-Can't use third tier unlocks like the P90 etc.

Yeah, most of us were expecting tier 3 weapons for SF when Euroforce was released. But, now EA is saying they arent going to support SF, which is why we are complaining. Cause we wont get tier 3 weapons now.

-Performance is horrible Bf vanilla I run on high SF on med with fps issues wtf

-Lag even with a 6MB connection.

I have been playing BF2 since its first day release. I also have been playing Special Forces since its first day release.

During this time i rarely ever experienced lag. Only the moders server for SF experienced regular lag, cause of cheap technology. Otherwise all servers were lag less.

HOWEVER, ever since 1.21 patch was implemented, a lot of Special Forces servers are experiencing significant lag.

That is one of our complaints. Patch 1.21 caused lag on SF (that didnt exist before) and if EA isnt going to support SF then that probably means lag wont go away. Users will have to revert back to 1.2 patch if they play SF.

-not enough day/city maps, -night maps are **** and nobody plays them

-Only two maps worth playing Warlord and Ghost town

-GAME MUST RESTART IN ORDER TO PLAY VANILLA MAPS WHAT THE **** IS THAT

Special Forces, like Euroforce, are add-ons. EA isnt expecting all the BF2 members to upgrade. Thus they arent offering a huge full version game (ie. expansion pack). Instead each of these add-ons include some extra weapons and extra maps to enhance your BF2 experience.

I think the only people who hate SF are those noobs who havent learned to play it.

SF has better weapons and requires higher strategy. After all people have ziplines and grappling hooks now. So all the typical sniper spots from BF2 are not used in SF, instead snipers get creative in their hiding spots.

You have tear gas and flash bangs to deal with too. So you need to learn to look away or put on your gas mask.

The helicopter controls are better in SF. More mobility in turning.

You have night maps, which means more clandestine operatioons and need to learn to use night vision.

Overall, i think GHOST is the best map yet for BF2 or SF. Sharqi would be my second pick.

what happened to night flight and leviathan? i can't find any servers running them...

Re: IS EA/DICE going to think about the SF players, or just let us die out?

Yes I love Night Flight and Leviathan. I still as I posted before do not see why EA has yet to fix the slide show in the helicopters, on SF. It happens to not just me but everyone. Sometimes they are perfect, sometimes they are a little laggy, and sometimes it is literally a slide show into the ground.

I'd like to see the helos fixed, and some of he maps actually balenced. I really don't like to be one to diss dice and EA but its beginning to become apparent that morons design the maps. Not only that its also very apparent that they really don't care about BF2 no more its out there, they are making their money. BF2:MC is out there for xbox making money, and soon the xbox 360 version will be released making money. EA is certainly not poor. They go in and get exclusive rights to every NFL football team, which cost millions, if not more. So the support for this game could be here. Hiring a team to evalute maps wouldn't be an issue. Shoot I bet some from the BF2RS team could do it.

I don't spawn directly in the gas...I spawn near it and my soldier is NOT choking my stamina bar will be bugged. This bug also happens randomly when my stamina bar was full and there is nothing going on around me.
