Squadjumping is too abused

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

Disabling the squad screen while dead wouldn't be the best answer, either. Then you would have to pick your spawn point while you're trying to run and stay alive. Disabling the "leave" and "join" buttons would make more sense.
I switch squads for multiple reasons.
Sometimes one squad needs an engineer to help fix their equipment, and they're across the map. I'll pick to spawn engineer on them, and when I die next I get there. Other times, I'll die and read that people are getting punked by tanks. I'll spawn AT on their SL. I try to be where I can help most. Other times I'll just be a sniping squad leader, and keep pressure on a point by giving my squad a place to start from without hoofing it across the battlefield.
I never sneak in and then have an entire squad form on me, but sometimes I'll be the last one alive in my squad. I'll hide just outside the cap radius, and have my squad reform on me. Makes more sense than trying to take the flag by myself, when I have reinforcements coming in 15 seconds.

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

Not another oh noes change the game thread...

Wait for mods if you dont like vanilla clan play im sure the FH or POE team will have something that suits you...

Of course the squad exploit will be fixed in FH, but I don't like to wait for it
They will have an officer class that can deploy a destroyable command tent, which will act as a spawnpoint.
(Sooooo much more well thought-through and less exploitable than the BF2 squadsystem...)

Majority of people are fine with the way squads work in matches and publics.

LOL yes of course pubbers getting raped by a TeamSpeak-using squad cycling their squadleader all the time are fine with it

It adds a new style to battlfield. One where you must defend all your flags because of squad hoppers and can no longer draw a line across the front of the map with 8 inf defending and shoot anything infront of you.

The absence of any frontline "thanks" to squadjumping hurts tactical gameplay. Thats the root of this whole problem.

I supose you want commander mode removed aswell ?

LOL of course not!
Just imagine you couldn't even detect these stupid squadjumping back-flag cappers with your scan and UAV, now that would just be horrible.

Alternative suggestion:
Disable the squadscreen while ALIVE and automatically delete a squad if the squadleader leaves.

Well that's the true spirit, that's playing the game instead of the engine...

God you're an friggin' idiot. Did you even read this crap you spewed out after you typed it!? Did you?

Heck. A Dice representitive has already be quoted as saying, " It's a bug..."

What happens when you use known bugs for garner an advantage?! Yes! Exactly, it's called "Exploiting". The nerve of you to stand in the face of solid, unrefuteable facts and claim it's the "community of n00bs" targeting everything for nerfs. It's a friggin' exploit! Accept that!

Jeebus'. Now, on to the thread starter. Yes, it's cheap. Yet, it's defeatable. Leave it be. Sure, it's a blatant exploit, but the odds of it getting changed are very slim; compared to the chances of you just finding a a counter for it.

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

If dice were too narrow minded to see the possibility of squads being used for what they are today than that is thier problem not ours.

How can being organised and fast at using a provided game feature be catogorised as an exploit.

If it wasnt meant to happen it would have been patched out a very long time ago.

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

You people here will cry and whine about anything, huh? If you want this game to play like '42, why don't you go back and play '42 instead of trying to dumb down BF2.

OMFG, this thread is sooooo last month.

In real life when a squad leader dies, next man takes his place, and the ranks are filled back up with new members. I'm with you Ink|LoKi.

lol really? In real life squad members instantly teleport in to wherever their SL is? Realistic! :laugh:


Paas said it best. This ain't changing anytime soon and best thing to do is just deal with it or do what the one guy did and get together with other like-minded individuals and play by your own rules.

As it relates to being in a video game, still slightly more realistic than reviving someone that got shot in the face with a main gun round from a tank with defibulators :).

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

at least it requires brain activity, rather than sniping and claymore whoring.

By the same logic you could argue that bunny hopping and c4 chucking took some brain activity too and those were also exploits. Obviously people had to learn the motions and practice the exploit before it would become effective. Just because an exploit takes skill to master does not make it fair to other players. Was squadjumping listed in the BF2 manual? no. Has DICE officially said on any print or electronic publication that squadjumping is an intended feature in the game? no. My advice to squadjumpers is to keep exploiting it because it will be gone before you know it.

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

Was squadjumping listed in the BF2 manual? no.

Was hovering a Blackhawk above a base at 1000ft and having your squad bail out and respawn in it to continually try to take a flag, no, what's your point?

Re: Squadjumping is too abused

No it won't be perfect, but its better than TWL or CAL.

nukka makes me laugh.

My point is that squad jumping is an exploit. What's yours?

If you don't like squad hopping, please quit all leagues and go back to being a pub all-star. That sounds more like your skill level anyway.
