BF2 has become BORING due to...

[midknight44]

constant artillery barrages and too much emphasis on armour - especially on the city maps.

I am finding nearly every game I play now on a city map constantly being dominated by APC's and artillery - don't get me wrong there is a place for both of these on the bigger maps but on the maps more geared towards infantry fighting I personally find they wreck all the enjoyment - especially artillery.

Also can anyone answer me how some players seem to have a one shot one kill ability (and I am not talking about snipers here). I can hit player repeatedly without killing them then they kill me stone dead with one shot - and I am a newbie or anything like that but I do find it to be very inconsistant in its fairness.

Re: BF2 has become BORING due to...

how has it become boring - it hasnt changed in the manner you describe since day one

if that is happening to you on city maps - dont play them as you clearly dont know how to
only poor players dont know how to defeat armour quickly or hear/anticipate artillery

So now someone sucks if they dont have telepathy and cheats?

Cause thats the only way they will be able to predict arty 100% of the time and take out armor no matter what kit they use.

I must suck because when i run into armor i cant take them out with my Medic or Support kits.

I recommend you spend some time mastering the AT kit. Once you get the hang of it you will run towards, not away from the sound of an enemy APC or tank because it's free points.

As for the arty, think like an enemy commander. You know where he is going to hit by looking at the density of your teammates on the map. Just capped a flag with a bunch of other people? Clear out because arty is already coming your way. Also listen for the sound of the arty being fired (before it strikes). When it's on the way make sure you take cover or move to a low traffic area.

Actually he's right. If you're in a large group or in the process of taking a flag, chances are, arty is coming your way.

you can hear artillery being fired from anywhere on the map foo' :laugh: and when you see yourslef surrounded by teammates duh duh duh you are a big hit me sign for the enemy commander - i must be cheating so :laugh:
as for armour - kill me once shame on you, kill me twice shame on me
the minute you see armour immobile that kills you, respawn as AT and hit it twice - one dead tank in under 5 seconds

so yes you must also suck - you shouldnt be finding yourself in those positions to start with a medic should be safe behind cover leading the charge offroad and away from armour - spawning on a flag should be a last resort

lol, this is kinda funny because i was thinking the exact same thing when i read Skeletor's post, that and, please teach everyone how EXACTLY you predict artillary more than 3 seconds in advance if you arent right next to the enemy arty, and then i was gonna ask how a medic was to destroy a tank....

Re: BF2 has become BORING due to...

I share you sentiments about armor ruining city maps. I hate to be holding my own when all of a sudden a stupid tanks pulls up and rapes everything in sight. I feel like tanks just don't belong in street fighting. We're busting our butts on our feet when out of nowhere comes a punk in heavy armor.

It leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I take issue with the fact that I have to bother predicting artillery at all - not so much with the artillery itself. I don't want my firefight interrupted by some meddling commander.

Re: BF2 has become BORING due to...

tanks belong more in city maps than anywhere else - where else are they the most useful piece of military hardware - helicopters and jets are next to useless in dense urban areas
i pray that DICE will never abandon their vision and please the counterstrike wannabes - this is battlefield, joint arms, combined forces
if there wasnt armour on Karkand in real life - nothing would happen, no modern soldier would be told to invade a major urban fortress unsupported


But artillery - whats wrong with it? in a whole game unless you are playing like a lemming at the hotel in Karkand no other map would see you die to it more than 3 times at most - its not like its a tap and even better it can be destroyed

You could always destroy the enemy assets, or get a teammate to do it for you.

That problem is easily solved by teamwork.

Re: BF2 has become BORING due to...

I disagree with your point about the armour it sucks getting owned but thats the way it is.
I have to agree with the arty tho i think its the worst feature of bf2, players should have to call it in before it works, i think this would be a better way of working it,
