BF2, that's some addictive sh**!

[charlie]

Yeah, man I gotta unplug...

I go outside for the first time all day and I'm kinda unsteady on my feet, I have a headache and all the colors in the sky look weird... sounds are strange...

BF2 online is really addictive, obviously.

[Magnj]

I feel ya http://bf2s.com/player/bizzleNJ/

For future reference I'm

lol thats nothing close to addiction my friend, http://bf2s.com/player/lefel_eddie/ ill be playing even more when i get a decent computer lol

[gouda96]

Wow eince, a 27 man kill streak, nicely done! I am gonna go out on a limb and guess chopper?

[einCe]

nope, sharqi peninsula>rooftop+g36

[Korpse]

gettin this game when i eventually get ADSL :) cant wait

[Magnj]

Yea I'm not that involved but I'm working on loggin in more hours :)/ njlbizzle on Xfire

[texuspete00]

Love the game. Got a GTX and 2 gigs of ram almost solely for this game. Seems hard to get a big group of people around here to play a game... too busy OC'ing and benching :D. So I'm playing with a bunch of [H] guys. Look up the server. It's called the [H]ardmilitary. I always ping around 35. I'll try and remember to post the IP but you can't missit just don't forget to look for the bracket if ya sort the names.

I'm actually counting down the hours and looking at the time too much, hoping I can get out of work soon and go play. tick tock tick tock... :(

[Magnj]

is it ranked if not im not intrested :). EA really F'd up with the new patch...more buggy than before for me

[texuspete00]

Yep it's ranked, I believe we get the service from Game Monsters. 32 person server. Found the infos 208.51.201.210:16567. I will be playing tonight. Sure to be hopping night time. There is actually a newer H group looking to get an unranked server, just an FYI to anyone who may have heard different, hardmilitary's server is ranked. Hopefully the other group will get going and we can have a civil war of sorts. :D

[Magnj]

I'll be in eventualy

[Disposibleteen]

Ill be in as myself once i get a headset with a microphone. (should be tonight)

[Big Deel]

Watch out for BigDeel's knife.....I will be in there . :stick:

[Frisch]

If you were shot by a guy named KranZ, i'm so sorry. :(

Haven't moved on from the demo :rolleyes: :D
But yes,this is a time devil. I only start the game when i know i have hours in front of me, and a cop of coffee, a packet of cig's, and some redwine.

[charlie]

Ok, now pet peeves:

1) WHY are the SAW weapons so crappy? The M60 and the long AK variant are horrible. I can literally spot on a guy from 10m and unload 30 rounds with the crosshairs spot on... and nothing :(

2) Is there like BONUS unlockable body armour available in the online version? I can't tell you how many times I have gotten the drop on a guy, often from the rear, and put 2 or 3 in his back and a couple in the chest and he turns around and shoots me :(

sucks....opinions??

[charlie]

Another thought...

is it LAG??

Maybe I'm picking a bad server... how does ping work for determining connectivity?

That's what it seems like, I pull the trigger and the guys like "not there"

Speaking of bad connection. ( i get a message on the screen saying, THERES A A PROBLEM WHIT YOUR CONNECTION)

And here's the story.

I was on my way in a jeep, when a enemy comes along , he too in a jepp. Somehow we agree (without words) to drive into eachother, just to see which car breaks down first. But i get tired of it, and press F2 and start shooting at him then it happens, while i'm shooting (he is driving towards me) the message appears on the screen THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CONNECTION , and the game freezes, when it finally goes back online there a message from him saying HAHAHAHAHAHA your dead, but it was funny dude. First of, DUDE, lol, second, no one would believe me if i told what happent, but he didn't stop, next message said : dude, you had a machinegun, and you couln't hit, i drove a mill against you, and you didn't hit. Of course , me idiot tried to tell him what happent, and yes of course it came LOSER , then i simply started to laugh , couldn't stop, locked out and still laughing a bit .

[charlie]

hmmmm...

What's everyone's BEST "kill" story??

In my short career, my best was where i wiped out about 10 guys hiding in and near that tall hollow building right next to the giant crane.
I was in an M1A1... and was firing into the floors with cannon AND MG... guys kept respawning as AT troopers and came at me and got pwned by the coax MG....

[Special_K]

K LOVE BF2 =D

so damn addictive, but yeah it's a bit buggy at the moment and scoring/stats are so wack that they aren't worth a spit (ie you play spec ops, take out all their artillery/UAV/radar and get ZERO points for it) =[


charlie:

1. the support class weapons are only accurate when you are in the prone position

2. only assault and support have armour - it's prolly a fair bet you had a small hitting weapon on an assault or support guy with armour, and that's prolly how he managed to survive the 3 in the back

[gouda96]

I had an incredibly funny experience last knight. I was sitting in the middle of street in strike at kirkland(something like that...) with an anti-tank weapon when a hummer comes flying straight at me. I was like "hehe 3 easy kills" so when it was about 10m from me I fire. To my surprise my rocket did not only not damage the vehicle in any way, it went STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND OUT THE BACK. I was like WTF, but the vehicle is still coming right for me, so I drop prone, and the damn thing goes straight over me. I went right between the wheels, and was completely unharmed, I then pop back up and fire a second rocket, which surprisingly stuck the vehicle and gave me a nice +3. I guess my entire team saw this take place, because everyone was laughing and talking about it for the next 5 minutes.

hehehe... excellent!

Has anyone noticed that an AT rocket doesn't bring down a chopper?? It should!!

C

[gouda96]

I was just complaining about that. It realy pisses me off. If a chopper pilot is foolish enough to ge thit by one he should deffinately go down.

[0range]

wish my computer could play BF@, and yeah it is addicitng b/c i was palyin at my firends, dude the sprint button is the greatest add to BF2 hahahah i have to say

[Magnj]

Yea I wish EA would get their :banana::banana::banana::banana: together. The serves are bogus. Online play is buggy as hell. But the ranking is very fun. I'm usualy a medic and one time I followed a guy and must have revived him half a dozen times within like 2 minutes

[einCe]

hehehe... excellent!

oh ho yes it does, you cant hit it just anywhere, aim for the tail rotoror the top rotor and it WILL go down in 2 hits.

btw my game name is leFel_eddie (with L's not pipes)
and my xfire name is requisiste

theres alot of ranked servers floating around that host, say, a 64 player game when they can only handle 32. its not the game or ea's fault, its the stupid people who put way too much through their server that it cant handle. if you filter by EA US OFFICIAL, or ea uk, or just ea for that matter. youll get a list of official servers that never have lag.

I think the point was just that it takes more than one. I hope they add balance and stuff with the patches too. To be honest I'm pretty problem free now. Thanks for the spot tips though. Certinly makes a big difference on the tanks. Didn't notice anyone stop by the server but today's a new day. :D

they are gone as of like 3 days ago

[texuspete00]

Bah 64 is too many anyways. I'm loving when you do 32 on the 16 man maps. Not as many tanks and stuff. Just a slightly overcrowded map with some real infantry show-downs!!! Even a tank has to be somewhat afraid there are twice as many anti-tank guys in the space, gets a little harder for them to handle twice as much man force. Chase one guy shot in the back treads by another.

[charlie]

Ok a few more pet peeves after 5 hours last night.
I'm on patch 1.02 now... a lot of servers don't support it :(

And yeah, in real life an AT hit ANYWHERE on a chopper would blow it to hell, one would think.

And I've discovered a trick that the bastards always try to use on me, when I'm around a corner and they know it, they will jump as they round the corner and fire at me in mid-air... stupid game gives them credit for a hit.

They don't give the sniper rifle enough credit. I think it's punch holes in light body armour

I was inside a building where the steel lockers are and was prone. I fired under the lockers at soldiers legs nd they didn't go down, wtf?

I would have like a bit more physical reality. I mean when you go off with the chain gun on the chopper, it should practically cut buildings in 2.

And, youi should be able to hord (sp?) weapons. I should be able to climb on top of a fuel tank with a SRAW And a sniper rifle. It should allow you to toss your sniper kit on the fuel tank and climb back down and snag someones sraw kit.

Which reminds me, sniping from up high with a SRAW works REALLY well.

Another tip, when possible, back your m1a1 right up to the map's border, it cuts down your threat perspective by 180 degrees.

PLUS, damage should be cumulative and permanent. When you blow a tank the carcass should stay there.

[Magnj]

While I agree with you on some htings, theres a point where if they made the game more real it would not be fun.

[Frisch]

agree

You would have to have a medic with you all the time, or do a lot of respawning.
Hell, if you hurt your thumb, you couldn't hold your gun. :D

[charlie]

yeah, but all in all I LOVE it. Actually wish there were more maps!!

I would have liked a "Tora Bora" type map... rough mountains with lots of caves... heavy artillery and air support involved.

In fact I'm gonna have to un-install the game soon or it will proceed to EAT me :(

C

[charlie]

Oh, and did you guys see? there's a BF2 expansion pack due out alreay any day!!! woo hooo!!!!!

C

[Frisch]

In fact I'm gonna have to un-install the game soon or it will proceed to EAT me :(

I learned my leason playing xmp ( it's a build on unreal II )As i said before, i only start if i know i can play a couple of hours without doing damage to my social life. But then i devote myself to it, making coffee, having my cig's and a nice bottle of redwine. :D

[charlie]

I think the problem with most players is that they're too anxious!

In real life a sniper might take 6 hours to crawl and squirm 300m to climb up a building... then tak eanother hour to get his first kill.

But yeah, that'd be boring!! I'm at a pretty low level, I've only rec'd a silver star, anti-tank badge and armor badge, like 300-400 points...

v102 is official now

http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_071505

damn game cost me 100 bucks for head sets today ... and dreaming of a top end graphics card!!

sick stuff

yeah, I know what you mean... but my monitor only supports 1280 x 1024, so a mid range card will do just fine.

[J-Mag]

C

I wonder if there is any serious advantage to playing at 1600x1200 or higher... It should be technically speaking, but luckily for you the draw distance even at 100% isn't that extreme. I tend to shoot at invisble units with the tank if they just went out of draw distance.

[IYP]

yeah its a sick game....havent played on enough ranked servers to have a nice rank.....but i guess ill try again today since i just got my rig back up.

[Flexkill]

This game is the BOMB :slobber: on days when i have nothing to do i can easily play all day and half the night...it's that good :woot:

[Magnj]

I went into that server and no one was there. Gonna play some more after I get AQ3 to run through

[einCe]

I would have liked a "Tora Bora" type map... rough mountains with lots of caves... heavy artillery and air support involved.


once bf2 editor comes out i will be making maps

[charlie]

once bf2 editor comes out i will be making maps

:thumbsup:

Keep me informed!!

C

[IYP]

yeah ill definatly be on the map scene too....cant wait for bf2 editor....i had made some really sick maps for unreal tournament too.....lost them when my hdd crashed manny moons ago....sad day :(

[Flexkill]

How easy, or hard is that to do....making your own maps that is? :confused:

[einCe]

i dont know i havent been able to see the interface yet, but i do alot of mapping on the source engine so at least it wont be like starting completely new to mapping.

p.s. ill bring out some night maps before the expansion does ;)

[Magnj]

I can kinda map stuff with CS:S hopefully the BF2 editor has a nicer GUI

[Special_K]

another hint for charlie: you can hoard kits

say a medic dies on your position, press G (by default) to switch to his kit - press G again to go back to your original kit and the medic kit will stick around for 15ish seconds - swap kits every 10ish seconds and you have 2 kits for as long as you keep swapping or move away =D

K agree about choppers being overpowered - that is the one main issue that lots of people have about BF2 in the EA forums.

[einCe]

my major gripe is the crappy ass chinese and mec choppers, you cant kill a damn thing with those 50. cals. but with the blackhawk i can take out JEEPS in about 3 seconds. the mec and chinese arent THAT technilogically deprived are they? :banana:

[BrokenWall]

You also get the camera bombs though. My friend and I just got 25+ kills and several points without ever being shot down. He is a good pilot, but not exceptional, and I am just your basic gunner, so I would say that all attack choppers are a bit too powerful. They should reduce the armor slightly, but they deffinately need to remove the repair ability from the helipad. It is rediculous. You go, kill some peole, take a point, then go heal.

[timpanogos]

the chinese/mec tone locked ground to air also suck ... I can not take out a heli for nothing with them .... give me the usmc ones, and 85% heli kills

[jinu117]

Well, it's always my pleasure to shoot down unsuspecting chopper from tank (the APC is bit too slow shots :P) I've gotten it down to about 20% accuracy on rapidly moving mid range chopper. On the other hand... the choppers coming for tank kills are my favorites... it's old style western almost... I only have one or two shot and he has.... many... It's about 40% of time i can take those down granted I did know chopper was heading to me. Not bad trade off considering usually there are 2 people there :P
Oh, it's jinu117xs btw if you ever see me. I usually play medic (odd combo with armor I know... but I usually play for finesse and extra health helps me capturing flags better)
Wish I can get bit more play time... score is only about 6k now...

[einCe]

i love the chinese apc the gun goes SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP
