Finally squad hopping is gone.. Finally there will be a little more teamwork in the game because the Squad Leaders have to do their job's right else you switch squad.. No more squad hopping during wars.. YaHoo

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

there are no black helicoptors

the US forces are nowhere near Baghdad!

so you can't join a squad while dead? big deal?

We need squad leaders - not spawn leaders!

Link to the UK forums on the news article doesn't work.

Maybe, Just maybe that what they have done with BF2142 with the beacon maybe implemented into vanilla or something similar? It stands to reason that if the 'problem' exists in bf2 then they will 'maybe' have already implemented the 'corrective measure' in BF2142?


and then again. maybe not.

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

yeah lol.. you can't fix a bug? why not clear the whole feature..
that's just poor.. with every small patch such immense intervention into the gameplay..

a patch should solve problems and not delete things out, with which we lives since a year.. for something you had a spawntime of 15s.. time enough to eliminate a whole squad.. just noobs died by squadhopping..

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

Thanks squadhopping for a lot of frags..

lay down with a pkm.. and own a squad.. let one alive and 15s later you have another 4 kills.. thats all..

not at all.. it made the gamplay faster, now you have to go back to the mainbase and walk back because there are to less vehicles..

bf2 will be changed from day to day more to a game for kiddies.. the steering is to easy, you need 100hits before you die.. ouh yeah.. you can own snipers with a SCAR-L :-) lool..

After one year of a release.. I still feel like a beta tester.. that shouldn't be the sense.

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

what ppl are doing is making squads.... waiting in the spawn screen till thiere buddy gets to a flag , the 5 ppl waiting spawn in... and instantly theres a whole squad

that will still be able to be done, its just that you have to be in the squad already.

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

may i say GOODBYE SQUAD HOPPING!!! :)

the only people ****ed about this are the people that can only get points by raping some spawn point with their teammates and having an easy way to keep re-entering the same spot of the battle. DICE never intended this type of use and I'm glad to see it go. Finally SL's and the members he leads might value the SL a little more.

perfect example of why this is gay...

you're defending a flag.. here comes 5 guys, one of which is a squad leader. you take 2 out with a nade and gun down to more including the SL... CONGRADULATIONS... you better start reloading because those 4 will be right back in about 10 seconds.

in the art of squad hopping, yes it might take a little bit of coordination to do it effeciently.. and i stress 'A LITTLE'. however taking control of a flag point for the most part requires no skill as ruthless bumrushing of the same guys will eventually take the flag if not guarded by quite a few people.

I think you people complaining need to stop whinning because your precious little feature exploit is being taken away. start embracing strategy.

lool.. in 42 there was a less vehicle whores and they waited for other ones to transport.. and there was more vehicles available.. so you could move faster..

in bf2 there are less vehicles because you can spawn by a leader. just whining kids "o my god, you can change a squad and spawn again in 15s"..

rofl.. in bf42.. that was fights between men.. now just.. whining softies.
oh.. EA i got owned.. please change gameplay.. help me.. huh..

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

Zzzzz, this topic again. It isn't the end of the world, personally I think it will hurt pub play much more than competitive play, but we shall see. No sense continuing to gripe about it. They have convinced themselves this is the most important thing to fix in BF2 now. I am sure that we could all think of 10 things of much more importance.

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

Well on another 1.3 patch topic.. the medal revamp..

Ever since they implemented this in BFHQ nor any of the stat sites.. or the offline BFSV viewer has any of the new medals or ribbons gained since this update they did have shown up.

Usually the weekend does this making the stats slow to update.. but its been a whole 72 or more hours since.. luckily I have screenshots of the awards if I have to prove to EA I earned them... one in particular was the Marksman Infantry medal, which I gained in Warlord simultaneously with Egineer Combat Vetern for SF and BF2.. none have updated but the regular one for BF2.. So Im still to see the SF Engineer badge or the Marksman medal.

I havent done the repair points for Engineer yet.. but that shouldnt stop them from showing.

Any one else since the 1.3 patch medal modification have issues with medals gained since the change? Im not intrested in hearing about the million n one others that want to spout off about how they gained the Navy Cross or other SF ones since the update.. more so intrested in some one else not seeing NEWLY awarded not showing since this update.

How about it any one... any one Ferus?

Re: Community Update from EAUK (Squad Hopping)

This might be too late already, but SIGN THE PETITION (http://www.bf2.se/petition/) and let EA know the squad-hopping feature SHOULD be a SERVER SETTING instead of a fixed change. 9000+ people already have.
Keeping this a server setting would make a lot of people happy, as FFA servers probably would run with the default settings, and clans could change this in their matches.

(my conspiration theory is, that they want BF2 dead before BF2142 comes out, so people wont stick with an old game, and buy a new EA product instead)
