Is it just my PC going funny or are the controls for the UAV and helicopter reversed? I fly around with UAV then get in chopper and crash as the controls are flipped. Is there a explanation to this? Is there any way to correct it?
 
Goon, if you trust me with your rcon details I can stick a procon layer on our dedibox for you to test it out on if you want (you can always change your rcon details after).

Basically it connects to your server then you all connect to it, you all have control but instead of having multiple rcon connections to your server you only have 1 and the dedi box deals with the others.

I can set your accs up and a mix mode map as well if you want to mess about with it over the weekend, It also auto connects in the event of a server restart and you can set the PB on/off flag via one of your remote rcon connects.

Speak to me on steam if you want to test it on our current procon layer for our server, ill set you an acc up so you can see it in action before you give it a go. Then if you like it you can prolly leave it on ours whilst you badger MPUK to sort you Daemon on one of their many boxes

You're right, they are. There's no fix for it, the easiest way is to just get used to the invert helo controls unfortunately!
 
Thanks UV. Cannot understand why there is no fix for this, or even why it is like this in the first place. Just have to go into the server on my own to practice. Embarrassing when you get in a chopper knowing you can normally fly well and ditch it into the nearest building with guys on board. :o

This is a design decision. They wanted for the UAV to feel significantly different from the helicopter and to have more of a robotic, 'automated' feel (it also has auto-hover rather than any large amount of inertia).

Basically they didn't want 'just another heli', they wanted a radically different airborne vehicle, but they didn't want one that relied on forward motion (like a plane) as they considered the maps to be too small so you'd get annoyed always turning to avoid going off the map. And they couldn't choose some cack 'jetpack' solution as it doesnt exist in real life .. so unfortunately for their design decisions it still had to look like a heli :( If the modern army had anything else that hovered that looked different, they'd have used it ..

Might go on an empty server and practice some more myself :o

I kick people if I find them in a vehicle camping an uncappable/fixed spawn point and they don't move following a warning. It can be extremely difficult to destroy a vehicle camping in these places and it's bad form. I didn't agree with it in BF2 or any other iterations of BF. All it does is make players quit because they aren't enjoying the game.

I think Wes is saying you were in a helicopter spawn camping, or so I understand his posts?

It's on Rush, legit tactic imho.

If attackers were to steal the enemy hind and spawn camp the defenders so they can't reach the M-Coms to defuse, it's also a legit tactic. The thing that I feel constitutes as base rape is on conquest, when players/vehicles are in the enemy spawn when A, B and C (Sometimes D) are all taken, and the enemy spawns in 1 very small area which is surrounded.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Truth. Base rape in my eyes and from the old days of BF was the conquest scenario you sometimes see. Everything is taken, your team is lacking 5 players and the enemy are so far up in your base you spawn and get shot/try and escape your base but literally cannot.

Sucks when that happens.

Yeah it's conquest where I am concerned about spawn camping, on rush there are generally less vehicles and harder for Defense to access so it happens less and when it does it tends to be a player or two hanging about the back and they are easy to kick.
 
What I dislike a lot about BC2 is the maps are so narrow. Bf2 Had great maps and allowed you to really flank a long way round. I feel everything is so confined in BC2.
 
@TheGoon: The TFU rush server was brilliant, loved the hardcore mode on it.

Will be playing on there more often.

Cheers mate!! your more than welcome!

If the new server holds the mix modes well we'll be putting it on our HARDCORE server.

EDIT: Nps Dave, old Maccaria couldn't wait till next month haha so its thanks to him. Need to fill it up now
 
Well as fate would have it a few of the servers l joined last night, allowed base raping. What a cheap way to get points to move up the ranks, where's the skill in that.

The maps are big enough to thrash it out capturing the base's, certianly not impressed with clans that allow it. I don't know if its just me but it seems more clans are allowing it(base raping)

What do you think people, whats your views on this subject?
 
goon would u mind copying the gametracker links in the server admins' signatures (like urs, uv's and LOAM's) and putting them in the initial post so it's easy to see which is populated at any one time?

I was on a random server last night, conquest in the desert map, the teams were balanced number wise, but our team were all over the opposition. I can't understand why the enemy's base is considered in bounds, we pushed them so far back they were spawning behind thier own base, which mean't we had their hellicopters and tanks at our disposal. :rolleyes:

I had a rage moment on the OcUK server, on the beta map, I was defending, we had lost our second pair of objectives, I spawned, ran as fast as posible to place my mines as close to the attackers spawn as possible, to slow their tank advance. As I ran back towards our lines, a bradley goes full steam in the other direction with only one occupant, didn't bother stopping to pick up an engineer, took out my mines with his main gun, and then got tubed as he tried to enter the enemy spawn. I was furious. :mad:

I felt better later on the island map when a squad of attackers drove thier bradley upto the bottom of the hill, got tubed but not destroyed, all bundled out to be met by knives and machine gun fire, leaving me with the bradley (surrounded by 3 friendly engineers). That pretty much finished that round. :D

Oh and uv trying to get me to switch sides so he could have some more tags.
 
UPDATED FRONT PAGE!

French or UV, could you give me a write up on what you want me to put on the front page for your server including gametracker links etc?

Do you want me to do the same for you as below?

=TFU= 'S RANKED SERVERS:

SEARCH IN BROWSER =TFU=
