Just Played BF2 - Here's a summary:

furnace · 18 Jun 2007 at 15:22

Started, got in chopper, got blown up whilst pilot flew into oblivion towards enemy base rather than claim neutral flags.

Got in chopper and flew myself, took off, 10 seconds later a plane suicides into me. Idiot, like you'd do that in real life.

Got in tank, drove around an emeny flag, was empty so got out to claim the flag, and there was a shotgun camping next to the flag in the dark. OK my fault, but still annoying that there was a little twirp sitting waiting in the dark for someone.

Respawned, bang. Dead. Spawn camper. Lots of skill in that :rolleyes:

/quit game

Possibly the most irritating game of BF2 I have had, ever! I'll give that one a rest for a while as it truley ****** me off! <end rant> Just thought I'd say it

Same as BF2142 really, i got annoyed yesterday because a squad from the other team were getting into our spawn point and purposely hiding in the dark to spawn kill when the capture flag was right next to them.

Some people will do anything to pad their stats out, i prefer playing it properly.

My ending was a bit happier, i spawned behind them on my third attempt and took out 4 of them with my shotgun...happy times.

Don't fly choppers whilst kamikaze pilots are near...

At least C4 your tank before getting out, and why get out anyway?

Respawn and kill him,now u know where he is....

Why give up? People use different tactics all the time, you need to overcome and retalliate them, regardless of what they do. Perhaps it was not your day?

Yep, BF2 online can be very annoying sometime

But you do get those good days where everyone plays fair

ins0mn1ac · 18 Jun 2007 at 15:34

BF2 isnt the easiest game to get into, you'll have a couple poor rounds on each map before you realise whats what.

Easy learning curve, stick at it, ace game!

Was map start - didn't realise there were kamikaze pilots..! IMO it ruins the game playing like that, there's not enough consiquence for the kamikaze pilots.

Dr_Evil said:

Didn't have C4

Was 'assault' class.

Didn't know where he was!

Definately wasn't my day. I can't concentrate on work so thought I'd have a quick game of it, but instead it just irritated me

I quit because all those put together made me swear, so I thought I'd have a ragequit rather than get kicked... lol!

Dr_Evil · 18 Jun 2007 at 15:41

Maybe all you needed to do is switch server - makes a huge difference sometimes!

tomanders91 · 18 Jun 2007 at 15:42

try project reality, much bigger focus on teamwork, and there is rarely annoying ***t's like in regular BF2.

furnace · 18 Jun 2007 at 15:53

Yeah I may have to give that a go :cool:

Agreed about the servers, I've had some servers that I've truley enjoyed playing on without getting bored/fed up/irritated. But quite often I end up having a bad experience with this game!

if your the more serious type, play project reality as said above, lone wolfs have a high fatality rate

If your in a attack chopper you don't cap flags, if you were in the blackhawk don't get in if you think the pilot is bad. But remember rank doesn't mean a thing, many people start new accounts.

Then there are the players who play a lot and are really bad and cry hacks when they get pwned by a low ranker! w00t

Oh and about the rammers, they do it because usually there are two players in the attack chopper, you can usually evade them. other times i will solo or tv them out the sky as they fly past

soon sort that one out.

Spawn camping is fine, unless you were at an uncap. a lot of servers have no rules especially the 64 man ones

FrostedNipple · 18 Jun 2007 at 16:17

i like bf2

so hiding, is what people do in real life and is a good tactic.

the spawn, they might of just been there rather than looking for spawn kills. it's the games fault for placing people next to enemy's when spawning.

Sounds liek you got angry over nothing.

Helium_Junkie · 18 Jun 2007 at 16:36

I've been spending as much time as possible in a chopper recently, flying and TV'ing. Desperate to become a flyboy

I cant hit anything with the TV, it's just too damned fast! I also have a serious issue with slowing down... nose up and WOAH blinded by the sun....

I die approximately 4 times per kill normally, and I relish it. You can only get better by playing a better opponent. Dont /ragequit when things dont go your way, just try to get around the situation.

Revolution6000 · 18 Jun 2007 at 17:18

BF2 could have been such an amazing game, but some really poor design choices let it down

MofoKilla · 18 Jun 2007 at 17:25

i had the this on day of release installed it..played for 20 mins..quit..uninstalled never played it since. nothing really compares to css in my opinion lol

Play on a well moderated server like ours then and that wont happen.

Btw you dont have to get out the tank to cap a flag

Search for CLU in the bf2 multiplayer client, and join that. password is, ironically, clu

There you will find a helicopter only server with about 50, just for practice

On the contrary, the game rocks!!!

Perhaps it's the poor performance of your PC that's letting you down, or your n00b skills and misunderstanding of how it all works...

furnace · 18 Jun 2007 at 17:51

It was that middle flag in oil fields (daquang or something? not sure on the names, I look at the map thumbnails to decide) and I couldn't get the tank close enough for the flag capture bit to come up... I don't think I could get close enough without getting out of the tank.

BF2 is a good game, I've spent a fair amount of time playing it so I do know the good side of it and really enjoy a good game. I love it when I'm flying the passenger chopper and fly sideways with a decent gunner taking out ground troops

But I can confidently say that the things I mentioned never fail to ruin a game for me!

Actually, in comparison to most people, I've spent no time playing it... but I don't spend huge amounts of time gaming and the time I do spend gaming is mostly on BF2.

I used to love CSS about a year ago, then my card broke and I got this new rig, but CSS won't work on this rig! And I've replaced the mobo, ram, psu, gfx card, hard drive, copy of winxp installed, tried CSS as nearly the first thing I install, but no luck. Wierd. I miss that game, especially after seeing the hide and seek mod

eracer2006 - what's your server?
