A battlefield2 thread

50 klicks was always full for me last night - so went on EA servers. Don't think it was admin'd cos there was one guy teamkilling on clean sweep - he even climbed on top of my chopper - the blackhawk, died and punished me! :o Although I was planning on dropping him in the ocean ;) Oddly we could only create one squad though :confused:

It is amazing the differing levels of play on EA servers, although people do seem to generally recognise what I'm upto, and add me as a squad member. They then go to be commander, having seen I'm a team player and I end up being squad leader, but I follow orders and we give it a good shot. There just seems to be less cohesion on EA servers.
 
I have also found on EA servers, (as well as many other non clan servers) that people just do there own thing. Sometimes a lot of people believe this is a flight sim or driving sim and do nothing more. For me, finding a server with people on it that work as a team is paramount. Waste of time otherwise, christ sometimes i play on servers and there will be 30+ players and no commander. Whats the point in that.
 
i never play on EA servers,thy seem to be full of muppets and as posted before not controlled my admin.I play on Multiplay servers there seems to be more team -work.
 
Well I'm on day 4 now of my new BF2 adventures :) Last nights was v.annoying tbh. Whilst I might be a noob and still trying to understand things (like when someone on the team/squad says something how do you know where they are on the map) I know the basic theory of what we are doing as a team.

Can't remember the server but basically the teams were screwed. Air power seems to dominate and we had no defence against the heli's / jets. One player just cruised round in a blackhawk killing as we spawned / owning us if we didn't die quickly. And if he went then the jets / artillery crippled us. I ended up being anti-tank just trying to respawn / hit heli but failed miserably.

After 2 or 3 levels of this I left and found another server and it was a bit better but overall the games were massively unbalanced and it was quite depressing.

So how do you guys deal with heli's & jets? I thought the AA missiles were ok (when we had some) but how many hits does it take to kill a heli/jet?

Mini-rant over :)
 
ok i had two unlocks so went for the 3rd SF unlock, but when i play i only have the 1st and 2nd aviable :confused:

Is it because i still have one unlock left in the bank? i wanted to save it for the 3rd sniper when it comes out...

anyone know if we get a 'free' unlock on Euro Force?

2 hits should kill any heli/jet, maybe with the exception of a BH with a couple of engies onboard.
 
To deal with the flying threat.
1.Keep moving and get in vehicle and watch your uav for blackhawak or transport helicopters(they move slow) the best weapon is the heavy-machine gun on a humvee and Vodnik.This is where team work is key get 2 vodniks together and it will bring down a blackhawk and the ideal situation is the above plus a couple of anti -tank nearby.
2.for attack helicopters is very different they are most vulnerable when hovering over flag or turning in slow speed.hit them with the above and APC or tank rounds(there is nothing better hitting them with a tank round).
3.stingers are going to be more effective after the next patch ,but to hit jets lock on but wait just after they have let there fares off then fire (but rember where there is a enemy jet there normally is a friendly nearby so he can cause team damage.
4.another thing which i do use houses and the lay of the land to ambush them,i.e wait below a slope or in built up areas of the map it takes a very skilled pilot to fly near buildings in fire fight.
5.last tip c-4 or mine flags and so if they touch down the the transport helicopter they get a surprise ( i killed 7 people in one go with an AT -mine i got praise from the commander)

any ideas on this guys?
 
If you unlocked the SCAR-L (3rd Spec Op gun) it should be available on all the standard BF2 maps, but on some SF teams it's unavailable I think.

yeah get it sorted as it'd make co-ing in the heli so much more effective ;)
plus its useful actually being able to get feedback from your squaddies, its a nightmare taking your hands off the mouse to type a quick message when you can just SHOUT!

are you guys going to use teamspeak

hi,

fairly certain in sf the "unlocks" are standard weapons for particular teams, sas and us seals iirc.

rednut :

if u're registered just raise a post about a map change.

bear in mind on weekends at the mo the 32 runs SF and the 50 does city maps of kark, sharqi and mastauur.

i see! i will check the the normal BF2... i thought maybe it was because i still had one more unlock to choose, i really wanna save it for the 3rd sniper gun, but if you get a free unlock whith Euro Force i could use it up now i guess?

Have you already had the 2 free unlocks on SF? If so those are the ones for the EuroForces expansion/patch.

when i installed SF i got 1 unlock i think, did not get it staight away, but i hit 5000 points last week and got 2 unlocks.. so not sure
 
Just to give everyone the heads up again. Our clan's ranked server passed its test phase nicely and is now up 24/7 on 32 player maps. We will be upgrading to 64 player before the weekend

Ip and Port are - 195.20.109.183:16567

Feel free to drop in anytime. It is quite quiet on there at the moment so pass the ip to anyone you know who plays BF. Runs great for all UK/European players.

What server is this 'Youstolemyname'? the OcUK one? If so I went on there once and it was dead.

And Phil99, you and Sponge should kiss and make up ;) You get the screen shot? He was being an annoying tit wasn't he. I gave him a shot in the head but he didn't die or get the idea so I left him be and then relaised he was in my squad so I booted him.

Anyway bar from that I think we had some okay games.
