What annoys you about BF2?!?!

[icer22x]

OK, I was playing BF2 today, like I always do, and every time I do, there are certain things that just want to make me throw my computer through a freaking window. Here are there things that annoy the hell out of me about BF2. I love the game, don't get me wrong, but it could be a little tweaked.

1. I CANT stand the nonexistant splash effect. When I shoot a freaking anti-tank missle at some douche in prone on a freaking ledge and it hits two inches away it's supposed to kill him! Every time that happens in the game, I pull out my grenade, throw it at my feet and kill myself.

2. Why in the HELL does driving over a little bump in an M1-A1 Abraham, a tank that weighs 69.5 tons, damage the tank?!?! I hope EA fixes this in the next patch because I've been waiting for it for too long.

3. This is probably the most annoying because I know it is going to happen every freaking time I get into the MEC AA. I hop in the thing and can I see anything? NO! Because there is that big bulky-ass round peice of metal that blocks my view from about the middle of the screen, down. So, if an enemy is running up to play C-4 on me, I can't tell. That is why the Bradley is the best AA.

So, fellow Battlefiled 2 players, if you could change anything about the game, what would it be?

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

The thing that annoys me the most is that since the very first patch, you cannot move forward (right mouse button for me) and use the Q / communication menus at the same time!

Why in the name of god can I not give orders or communicate with teammates while moving?! I am now forced to stop whatever I am driving or stop walking just to ask for / give orders!

Very frustrating! I find that I also cannot use the E button to exit vehicles when it is still moving forwards (just took finger off acceleration key), another very annoying 'feature' that has gotten me killed countless times.

*beeeep radar warning*
*pressing E like crazy to exit vehicle*
*nothing happens*
*BOOM!*
*dead*

Damn, that sucks. EA needs to lock themselves in a room for about a month and come up with a GOOD patch that fixes all this crap. And let us test it so we can report the bugs!! And I hate when you are running down a slope really fast and you go over a little rock and it takes almost half your life away. That crap ****es me off.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

icer, you have extremely good points. I agree with all of them. I mean, a tank shell landing a foot away from infantry does nothing. And those damn railroad tracks that always seem to tear up the underside of vehicles. Gayness.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

I made some obvious reasons to why number 1 and number 3 are useless.

1. Anti-tank rockets aren't meant for infantry, they are meant for big, 69.5 ton tanks. Also how could you throw a grenade at your feet if your anti-tank class?:hmm:

3. I'm pretty sure you can remove the view model by pressing F9 once you get into AA (Works for jets and choppers atleast). AA is meant for the sky, not the ground. Besides that fact, I doubt someone would waste time going up to you to C4 you when they could just easily shoot or snipe you, since in AA your a sitting duck.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

Seriously dude... When you run over railroad tracks and it damages your tank and you loose a tank battle because of that... AHHH! It ****es me off so much... Also, EA needs to redesign the effects that bullets have on the enemy soldiers. I mean, they are trying to make this a fighting simulator and I understand they have to leave some game elements in it to keep it fun (like parachuting from a cliff to get down to a lower level terrain... I love doing that) but when I am in prone position and I am spraying the enemy with my support machine gun, he will not have the strength to turn around and be able to take the time to aim at my head and shoot me. I don't know, that would take alot of time to tweak.

It doesn't matter if rockets are meant for tanks or not, I never said they weren't. But when a rocket blows up next to your head, you are going to die!!

And thanks for the tip on the AA, I'll give F9 a try. I hope it is different than pressing "c" to change views.
And I know it is meant for the sky, but you should be able to shoot anything you want and since the AA vehicles have the capability to turn towards the ground, then they are able to shoot there. And how can someone snipe me out of and AA? Your body doesn't even show.

Since AT doesn't have any grenades, no, you don't. AT missiles kill someone if they hit them directly. That's KILL as in medic can't revive them kill. Why an AT missile doesn't wtfpwn infantry is simple: Balance. For any other issues with the AT class, please consult the DAO-12 operator's manual.

EDIT -- You lose a tank battle because of train tracks? What? Tank fights are entirely about getting the first shot and facing your target (you do know the front takes reduced damage, right?)

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

I dont particulary like it how people can tune there graphics to have certain advantages in the game. For example, someone posted how they can make karkand almost like a night map not a desert map with no fog(big advantage)

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

people that complain and whine about the game constantly, but yet continue to play. cause they gotta get those points and awards.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

The no splash missle thing is because modern missles use a shaped charge. no boom. they make a little hole and hose the tank's inside with fire and shrapnel. If i could change one thing... give players a 2 second invulnerability to avoid spawn campers.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

So, fellow Battlefiled 2 players, if you could change anything about the game, what would it be?

I would go back in time and replace the developers who coded it with competent people and move the title to a different publisher. Then all the major issues would fix themselves. A game engine that isn't held together by bubblegum and sewing thread, and a publisher that actually cares about it's customers.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

Not able to shoot the jets down from Ground to Air Missles. But, gosh they get you all the time, also helicopterss. Been lucky on some helis on certain maps, since after the patch 1.2, but they still are a problem on helis. I sure like to shoot one jet down from the ground missle placements, when their is no air cover.

Re: What annoys you about BF2?!?!

You're in an FAV, guy is running towards you to jump in from 40 yards. You get tired of waiting, so you nudge the FAV forward just as he's jumping toward it. Team kill.

You killed him at 1mph. And then he punishes you. LAME
