I seem to always get killed by artillary but all my team somehow survives. Do you guys have any tips on how to dodge or aviod arty? I try to get under cover but it still manages to kill me. Especially when capping flags like airstrip on Wake is a big one considering Im probably by myself it takes forever!.

Re: Arty is annyoing.
listen for arty firing. if you hear it, hit M. If there is no big red arty symbol, that means the other team is firing it. It's a pretty good guess its aiming at someone about to take the flag.
then its just a simple matter of running out of the flag zone and watchin the arty fly then running back in. -

Arty is pretty predictable on where it hits....listen for arty firing. if you hear it, hit M. If there is no big red arty symbol, that means the other team is firing it. It's a pretty good guess its aiming at someone about to take the flag.
then its just a simple matter of running out of the flag zone and watchin the arty fly then running back in.
There are two most common areas where arty will strike:
Newly decapped flags
Large groups of enemies/friendlies
And also, you can't hear the arty firing unless you are close nearby it...Comment

Re: Arty is annyoing.
yeah but sometimes i think arty is inconsistant
i could be walking arund doging shells and never get hit when a barrage is underway
i sort alike doing that
yeah there should be red circles cascading on the artillieries location
in my opinion it is more helpfukl than a nuisance

Re: Arty is annyoing.
actually, my friend has a nice glitch. he can hear artillery firing no matter where he is. he is a valuable asset to our squad, IF he decides to tell us BEFORE it lands...Comment

See, glitch ^^^^my friend has a nice glitch. he can hear artillery firing no matter where he is
Ive never heard arty firing unless it was close nearby....maybe your game is buggy or you are involuntarily (or voluntarily) glitching...Comment

Re: Arty is annyoing.
maybe the soundcard has something to do with it... you hear more sounds with a better sound card.Comment

Re: Arty is annyoing.
If MEC, at the TV station and you hear the nearby arty fire, you had best be running for the interior of the building. So many time I see folks get smoked on the building helipad.Comment

Re: Arty is annyoing.
stay out of big crowds of players....! they act as arty magnetsComment

Re: Arty is annyoing.
Stay away from tanks and APC's. They are GREAT arty magnets. And they usually survive arty.
Stay away from snipers too.Comment

Re: Arty is annyoing.
about that hearing arty from whereever you are thing, I use my mobos sound card and if i set my sound options to "hardware" in the bf2 settings this is what happens for me,
I hear arty firing where ever i am AND ITS REALLY REALLY annoying. also other sounds are weird liek they sound much closer then they are. but its mainly the arty thing.
so as a result I play with "software" selected which fixes the problem and i get normal sound.
and yes, arty is really getting OLD at this stage, im sick of it ruining epic gun fights.... you know the ones...
theres one squad taking cover on one area and an enemy squad at anothter and its just a really good gun fight but NOOOOOOOOOO commander has to kill everyone including his teammates
cant wait for the mods:cry:Comment
