Decided to make an "art piece" showing the emotional rollercoaster that is C4

Lol eh?

What glaring issues "that Dice are ignoring"?

There has only been 1 patch so far dude.
 
Not read through all these pages, but ive been having trouble with getting kicked by punkbuster.
The games been running fine for a while, then it started happening.
Ive tried a fresh install, and i tried updating PB before the new install and still no joy.
I get about 30 seconds of gaming before being kicked.
Anyone know the answer to this very annoying problem?
 
I only keep two games on my ssd, bfbc2 and bf3, (120gb vertex 2e). The fast load times are great, all my other games such as steam etc are kept on a second 1TB drive.

the game has only been out a month !

This was our first client patch. Give it time.
 
i just had a game with the most immature team imaginable

i ran to a heli with a team mate, he was the driver, i was the gunner

he would not take the heli off the ground and went on the chat and told me to get out!!!!

i said no, just fly the heli!

he then flew it up in the air, parachuted out and left me and the heli to explode on the ground :mad::mad::mad:

later in that same game, i ran to another heli, same guy...

he then flew it up in the air, parachuted out and left me and the heli to explode on the ground :mad::mad::mad:

How much time? :p BC2 was broken for ages, and wouldn't be surprised if the knifing and running hitboxes still are!

I've got a choice of better games to spend money, a back catalogue and plenty of mods to try out.

Time and Dice don't mix, they just pull out more and more excuses. :rolleyes:

Did he have a platoon/clan mate on the server with him? He did get in first, and more importantly why should he take off with you as gunner, what guarantee does he have that you are going to even shoot (yes I've had gunners that shoot really badly or just bail on me)?

You jumped in for a 2nd time, he probably thought you were trolling him.

Stingers are meant to support the air units by doing some damage \ getting a disable and making the pilot and gunner dump flares, I'd take a look at the air units on your own team if they aren't doing their job, also your mobile AA gun which shouldn't just be sat back in base.

Makes little to no difference, ive been in numerous servers with multiple people trying to get a hit on jets, its rarer than hens teeth. Stealth and flares pretty much totally nulify the stinger, and if you somehow get lucky enough to get a hit it doesn't do anything substantial.

Tombo said:
currently if you're firing stingers at a helicopter you're forcing him to dump flares and try and get away from danger, if you're just giving up after the first stinger then you can't really complain about them being useless.

Again, makes no difference. The gunships if theyre being smart will have stealth plus the pilot and co-pilot will have flares to use. Since the stealth delays the stinger lock for such a long time even if both have dumped their flares by the time you get the lock and fire the missile more often than not one of them will have flares reloaded and ready to go.


Tombo said:
Basically infantry aren't meant to and shouldn't be able to solo aircraft. Try what someone suggested on battlelog, have people at different capture points so you can always get a lock.

The entire point of a stinger is that so 1 person can heavily damage or take down an aircraft. It doesn't matter where on the map you have people sitting, as soon as they pop their flares then all the locks get broken and they have to reaquire, this means they have to wait out the stealth delay and while thats happening the jet will usually be making its way out of the danger zone or gaining altitude, by the time you get the lock and fire they will almost certainly have flares ready to go again.

Theres been tons of complaints about this since dice took it upon themselves to nerf the damage the missiles do, big deal if you get a single hit, thanks to their patch it doesnt even disable the aircraft anymore, all they have to do is fly away, regenerate and come back.

It was bad enough pre patch with trying to get a hit with the stealth lockon but at least if you did you were rewarded with heavily damaging the aircraft, at the minute you do something like 45% damage, and thats it.

Grand Bazaar and Metro on conquest are both pretty good level up maps for infantry. Go as Assault, drop med packs and revive. Lots of slot shooting to be had down corridors and allyways too, easy kills.
 
Dont you just love it when you endure a round of attacker in rush, the other team camping, which is fair enough but when its time for you do the same as a defender you have to ctrl alt and del to close the game. Then when you rejoin the server, you are back on the attackers team.
Really does my head in to be honest.
