I just wish they would swap which classes have ammo and which has the med pack. After the TFU server went down, i played a little hardcore for a laugh and over 50% of the kills on the server was 40mm noob tube. I just couldn't help but laugh at that the normal players on this thread said it takes more skill, but on 4 or the normal servers I tried, even high rank (28+) players I saw used nothing but spraying whole clips and noob tube.

Normaly if i got killed that much I would be a little annoyed, but that was just so funny watching the grenades just fly back and forth, I didn't evne bother with the obj I just sat back and let the kiddies battle it out :D

I agree that normal mode has a lot of 40mm nades flying around but thats just because they are cheap kills for people. They should make it so you cant resupply you own explosive ammunition. However, in my experience HC is just as bad in the fact that if someone is sniping they have the m60 instead. These too are cheap and easy kills. Each system has its flaws I guess.

I like to play softcore on smallish servers, maybe 24 players max. This keeps the spam to a minimum. The reason I prefer softcore is that I like to be able to out shoot somebody. As in they see me first and start shooting, I react to the shots and kill them with a few headshots before im killed. I just cant play hardcore as I like to rush (smg in Cod4 :D) and if I try this im shot by someone covering a specific spot or bottleneck.

I did enjoy the TFU server before though, I just put my feet up, put some music on and hung back raking the points in. :p:p

Oh, and a full clip to kill someone is not true. With an SMG you can kill 3 people with a mag easily at low-mid range.
 
I just don't think you should be able to react to someone shooting you, unless they were leg shots. Being shot in the back and having time to realise whats happening, turn around and headshot the guy shouldn't be possible.

As for rushing, just work as a team, a good squad can make a huge difference, I was playing in a squad of 2 TFU guys and 1 random, and we managed to do most of the objectives by ourselves just rushing through to them all, covering and healing eachother, etc... If you work as a team then one of you may die, but that death should give away the shoot which you can then take out and revive the fallen.

Also since the garrand is now working, I gave that a try and I have to say, any semi-auto rifle like that or the m14 is useless on normal, too little damage and without being able to use scopes its not that good at longer ranges.

I think you missed my point. When I say react, I dont mean 2 seconds looking for them. I mean a jump, a spin to their direction and then a spray off till one of us is dead. I would prefer the chance to punish a bit of fail aim on the part of the opponent rather than dying from a couple of shots in the back. Im just bad at HC. Havent got the patience.

The veteran system is down at the moment while it is being updated, but go to http://veteran.battlefield.com/ once it is back up (no idea when).

What you need to do is type in your EA account login, and you log into the veteran system, from there you select a game and type in your details. For bf 1942 and vietnam it asks for a CD Key, to link BF2 or BF2142 (and expansions) to your account you need to enter the login you used for them games.

So if you have the username/pass you used to use when you played bf2, and it is still valid, you can just type that in to link it, assuming the person you sold it to hasn't changed the password, or linked the account themselves to their own EA account.

You need 2 full games (expansions don't count) to be a 'veteran', so BFBC2 + either bf1942, bf2, bf2142 or vietnam. The more games you add the higher your veteran rank, but getting higher does nothing other than giving you bragging rights.
 
Just had a few more games there on the tfu server, im not one for the knife but i gave a few backs a good jabbing and by god that hit reg is horrendous, i thought it was iffy down a set of sights but christ try and stick a knife in someone and its like the wheel of fortune!!! will it land, wont it? will he see you, wont he?

I tried messing around with the knife a bit (it's patheticaly easy on softcore, plenty of life to run up to groups of people and knife them all) and it seems a lot down to the timing of the swing, it seems like when you stab the enemy that's not what matters, what matters is the final bit of the animation when you pull your knife out of the enemy which it does the hit check to see if you are in range and on target.

I havn't been doing proper testing though so I may be wrong, but after a bit of practice it does seem that the actual 'stab' animation is irrelevent, so if you stab a person and move away/turn before the animation has finished, it most likely won't count.
 
Connection issues everytime !!!

F'kn Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Agree with the M60 'full auto sniper rifle' statement lol, Crazy distance/accuracy.
 
Surely if everything is OP, everything is even? lol.

Seems everyone complains about getting killed by everything... I know there is an extreme or two but its not too bad.

Try pairing it with the ammo upgrade, it suprising the range kills it can get.
