why didnt they code in a invulnuribility hack so when you respawn you dont get spawn raped.......theyd only need it for 3 seconds or so.

today i was in a server and a teamate was called RATKILLER he was a medic and he worked with the opposition so theyd lie next to me, kill me, hed med me, theyd kill me, and so on in a loop. i died 30 times or so before i knew what was going on :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Unfortunetly there are a few jerks about in every online game.
You have suffered arranged stat padding between two mates. All you can do really is exit the game. If it happens again just hold the ESC button and exit the game. I've played well over 1300 hours and have only seen it once so it is quite rare so don't be to put off by it.
If you feel brave then hold down the 1 button and stab the mug in the face. It is the quickest most effective way of killing at close range.
Personaly i would note the server name and the player names involved then rejoin the game and pwn them.
Stat padders are weak players who have No skill at all which is why they have to use such tactics to bolster there stats.
Padders are more hated than anything on BF2 and once other players are informed most will help you either vote them off or get admin to kick them.
 
back in the old days when I used to play bf2 I would see this happen, my brothers and me mates would all go online together. This gave them the idea to give it ago, being all in the same house it is easier to coordinate but watching them you would have to be in a very small server to pull it off without getting owned by anyone else in the process, also the guy getting killed/revived leaves/changes teams. So seeing this first hand it is a lot of hassle for most like 99.9% of players and not worth EA coding invincible players when they spawn IMO.

BF2 was good but all things that gave the game it's skill and made have been changed, lobbing c4 at tanks to blow them up (tanks skilless), diving through windows and shooting everyone up, jumping and shooting people in the face with an AK.

After every EA patch the threads would go up in flames with most arguing WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TOO???

The list goes on and the game has already been watered down beyond reconition for noobs, rendering everyone down to the same skill level by restricting movement.

The game never was realistic but is was more fun, after all the patches its is still not still not realistic but a lot less fun!!! :mad:

After the grieviences I have with that game to most annoying feature is artillery, a skilled clan getting skillessly killed again and again is so lame, by the time you have all spawned regrouped and aim to take that flag you get artilleried... that is not fun!!!

bring on QUAKE WARS :D

agreed but with so many of them you can be rest assured one of them will spoil everygame. I loved bf2 at the start when people only cared about playing the game, then everyone played objectively and as a team. Its not hard to tk for a tank and rape ect and the points ecourage this.

It should go by time played or something and still show your stats like knife kills ect just get rid of the leaderboard point system that encourages stat padding in the first place

As you don't play it anymore i find it hard to read any worthwhile content in your post.
The facts are that BF2 is Better than ever and much more fun than in the early days.
All the casuals have moved on to there latest craze and the skill level has risen dramatically. The patches have removed some of the more dodgey tactics in the game leaving us with imo the Best online game ever released.
Of course if you like bunny hopping and Dophin diving and slinging C4 randomly over walls then of course you will not like it anymore.

Nowadays infantry only servers are Superb. 32v32 BF2 battles cannot be beaten.
It is also worth pointing out that xfire figures clearly show that BF2 is just as popular as ever. It also clearly shows that 2142 is Not.

As for realism you are right BF2 has Never been about realism. It is about Major online battles between friends using familiar weaponry. It is called a game not a Sim after all.
 
FAO eracer2006 I've never seen that in all my time playing so you've probably just picked the wrong server or have been extremely unlucky.

I have to agree to a certain extent. I put in over 400 hours from June 05 - June 06 and then decided to take a break and try a bit of PRMM which was a welcome change.

Went back to BF2 and SF over christmas and started again with a new account, it's been good fun so far and patch 1.41 is pretty much spot on in my opinion.

I thought I'd really embrace the infantry only mode but I find that it is absolutely brutal. From my experience so far it's all about squads running around using hand grenades as their primary weapon which is quite soul-destroying when there's so much potential for the game without having armour involved...

Going back to the old days though malc, the blackhawk was great fun :D (unless of course you were on the MEC team on Mashtuur)

Blackhawks done me a favour mate.
I am known in certain circles for demonstrating the 1 AT rocket take down of a BH :D
Every now and again i get the shout, Oi are you the dude that could take a BH out with 1 rocket. The outfit i demonstrated it to even opened a private server for me to teach them it :p As they didn't believe i could do it.
Hearing the Yanks scream with delight when i did it was sheer class :cool:
Watching them trying to recreate it was sheer comedy gold :p

welcome to the idots of bf2 ... some things never change
you can report them to the BFROE if you have screen shots or a vid but all that does it get their stats wiped,unfortunately not their accounts banned..

i can honestly say that im glad i play 2142 more than BF2, you dont have padders, or hijackers, no TK'ing for vehicles, no overpowered unbalanced equipment etc etc

theres a lot of peeps who have reverted back to 1.12 patch BF2, cause thats when the game was simply pure fun
 
The Facts.

Bf2 = 3,275,075 minutes played.
2142= 1,914,397 minutes played.
Taken from xfire here http://www.xfire.com/

BF2 is on the rise where as 2142 is on decline. Speaks for itself really.


I also agree that IO servers are MENTAL :p & i am guilty for nade spamming. I just get so ***** off with getting naded myself i unleash my Nade Rain on them. A round of me and my nade rain and they soon quit there nading.
Karkhand is worst for this.
Try any of the other maps and you will find nade spamming is not often used.

Only been playing a week. :D

Spawn raping is annoying, worst i've had was 6 in a row.

Still an excellent game though.

"If you feel brave then hold down the 1 button and stab the mug in the face. It is the quickest most effective way of killing at close range."

Nice tip malc30 , i shall use that. :D
 
" lies, damn lies and statistics ... "

again malc you miss the point, dont be so tetchy about BF2s problems and learn to be objective and not obtuse
if a game is fun thats all that matters , if stats are to be taken as the definative for what is the best game, then counter strike or WoW win
all games have hackers and cheats, just BF2 has them in abundance and to simply ignore that fact doesnt make them dissappear ..
 
Are you completely mental :p
I have played countless hours of BF2 and like i said have only seen what the OP is on about Once. Do you want me to lie to make you happy or do as i normally do and tell it like it is.
 
dont be such a defeatist, at least make an effort afterall you are the self proclaimed BF2 'Oracle' , hahah, soz but that made me laugh

obligatory ' ;) '
 
I've seen statpadding quite a few times. And ya I've seen that a few times as well, it happens, but you can easily have his stats wiped, well I could even though I've never cared enough to actually go do it, but what happens is you report what happened to the BFROE, I know a few of them involved with the ROE so it does work. So you report them and provide their stats, the person who was killing you 30 times as you say, it will show on his stats usually that he killed you 30 times or so then if your lucky his stats will be wiped.

Keep in mind BFROE send the info once they check over it to make sure its worth doing it, they send it to EA and if EA give a toss they will wipe their stats or even ban the account thats about it.

What about those that dont use xfire does it include them?

No but as I've played BF2 a lot, not as much as Malc but I've had the game since it came out, and can say that when I went to 2142 theres a difference, seems so different, I like BF2 more though, maybe its because I prefer modern combat idk.
 
ive just gone out and bought 2142, i dont really like it but all my mates have moved onto it and i got it for 20 quid in the high street.

yeh it was an infantry only karkand server that this happened in, one of the squad members said

"how unfair doing that to the noobs :P"

and the ratkiller guy was squad aswell so it seems to be a stat padding server ? :mad:

How do you search for infantry only servers on xfire ?

all i dont like about bf2 is the fact that i keep dying for what seems to be no reason ie in karkand theres an alleyway with a metal bin in it if i sit down between the bin and the wall in the shadow, all of a sudden i get shot yet im facing forwards at the only entry i can be seen at and theres no one there.......

and...

i can unload an ak into someones chest must hit them about 20 25 times and they carry on running at me with a knife and stab me, if i shot you with an ak 5 times it would go throught your body armor surely ? about 5 of my shots end up head height but maybe they are using cheats ????


ALSO i shot a blackhawk with the chinese Anti tank launcher 4 times and it didnt effect it....
 
In your server filters there is a box for No vehicles Tick that and apply and you will only get IO servers up.
Always fire single shot for accuracy. As you say you can let off a full mag and not kill a dude but if you use single shot he will fall in just a few bulletts.
Karkhand has many black spots and you are not often out of the line of fire from everyone. Keep moving at All times and do not give them a target.
Also be aware that if friendly fire is switched off the spec ops dudes will use there C4 to get to normally unaccesible areas. Once there they will go squad leader and have unlimited ammo/back up.
Like any game you Have to know the maps. On top of that try to recognise the enemy classes to avoid what you do not want to meet.
If new to BF2 try to hang back a bit and move into the battle rather than spawn and die. If spawn is completely full of enemy and you cannot spawn elsewhere switch kits to sniper and drop claymores as you spawn. You will die but at least you will clear a few spawn campers out the way.
Lastly Always remember the quickest way to kill anyone in BF2 is by stabbing them in the face.

edit.
The BH you shot was probably full of engineers that were repairing it as you shot it.

True, I was on Warlord and basically in the TV tower or w.e there was an enemy trying to capp the flag I was at the top Sniping like. So I ran down and I had no nades left, so I knew a pistol wouldn't cut it as later I found out he had an AK-101 as he was on Insu. Anyway I ran in jumped dived into prone and stabbed him before he could blink, seriously it was that fast, I was well chuffed like :).

Im good with the knife though and I like it, alough its annoying when hits don't register. Anyway the original expert knife took 18 kills IAR, I got this. Ended up with 22 knife kills and 3 deaths.
