Then I die and spawn on him and find myself on the roof of a building with no ladder. What he was doing was blowing himself into the air and then parachuting to the top of unreachable buildings. Total crap. I left the server since that type of game play isn't fun.

To all the bunny hoppers and dolphin divers.....drop dead. You're a jackass.

err...play on the official ranked servers. That's w/ FF off. Bunny hopping annoys others, and makes it difficult for the opponent to hit me, so I utilize it to my advantage. it's within the mechanics of the game (still is after 1.3, but requires a trick to it). If you hate it so much because you can't hit the other guy, then use it yourself to your advantage. Do everything you can to make things go your way. Just trying to do things "justly" when there's legal exploits is just stupid, and you just forcefully limit yourself.

Why would anyone limit themselves when the opportunity exists to take advantage of your opponent?? :confused:

Sportsmanship? It's like putting razor wire on your boxing gloves.

I play on official ranked servers that ban bunny hoppers. :thumbsup:

ya true. as far as sportsmanship goes, if the server admin complains, then i'll stop. A lot of servers do not allow for spawnpoint arty/jetbombing. If they tell me to stop I stop, but if they don't, it's all out exploiting time (within the game's mechanics).

stuff that people really hate me for:

still bunny hopping medic (against majority of snipers, i'd do this, get near, and kill them while holding/dropping medpacks as i get near. people get so pissed)... even in 1.3

carrier/spawn rape...i mean, extreme carrier/spawn rapes (50+ kills/round w/ 0 to around 5 deaths) w/ jet (see stats)

jet ramming. I only do this when needed (no ammo, about to die, airfield is taken by enemy, or when my team really needs that tank/heli taken out badly). But it's very effective. I of course bail right before ramming, except into heli's. When I see an enemy attack heli owning one of my team's spawn point, I'll ram him for sure; saves about 10-20deaths/tickets for my team. I also do this to tanks, but I bail right before jet hits the tank. I don't get creditted for the kill on most occasions, but it's a quick relief for teammates.


I SUCK @ groundpound because i die a lot, lol. I get in spurts where i'd kill 5-10 in a row and such, but I always die in spurts too, hah. That's why I hate groundpounding, and avoid it like a plague.

I can see how people can call others cheaters because they'll shoot other people, and the other person will get "lucky" by turning around, and kill you. That's not cheating. it happens a lot, and it happens to the best of 'em.

Yes it's part of the game when you die right when you spawn. no one's cheating. From my experience, this game has the lowest occurance of hackers of any game I've ever played.

well even though this kind of game mechanic's exist, I don't bunny hope or dolphin dive etc, simply because its extremely lame and there is no real skill in that. If thats what you like to do, you won't hear me whine or complain about it. Just know that it's lame.

carrier/spawn rape, depends on the rules, normally carrier or uncab rape isn't allowed where I play so we don't see your kind as much. As for spawn raping, that's fun as hell! when the opponent is limited to 1 last spawn area, it's great to rape them. Nothing wrong there, its the whole point of the game.

I spend any and all BF2 time in hellicopter dogfights. Well, they aren't really dogfights, they are more like games of chicken with guided weapons of mass destruction.

I'm pretty sure I was on an official server since that's what I have it set to and that's all I play.

Just because the programmers missed something doesn't mean you have to exploit it. I have yet to see any soldiers come back from Iraq and say that they shock paddled someone to death or were dolphin diving into battle. That's simple EA being stupid just like they are with the 1.3 patch and the constant crashing to desktop etc. It's a glitch and it's what makes the game LAME! They need to fix these issues as well as do some adjusting to the hit zones. If I spray a guy with a saw from 10 feet away he's dead. You shouldn't be able to parachute from 10 feet up either. At the very least they should make a parachute a supply.

I find it absurd that a free game like America's Army is more stable and more realistic than BF2 but I at least try to play BF2 so that the game isn't a total joke. Bunny hoppers are a joke. If you can't shoot a gun, use a knife or a grenade....go play quake.

Explain how thats the point of the game ? What game are you playing ?

How does that make the game fun and enjoyable ?

Seems to me somebody that spawn rapes isnt really that good at playing at all if thats the only or the way they get the their most kills...

allow me to explain..

perfect example/map/scenario would be Wake island 2007. As marines your objective is to take all flags to win correct? or at least take enough to take the tickets.

As Chinese, you gotta defend them. Chinese don't have an uncabbable base in this map so you HAVE to defend at least 1 in order to spawn.

So, when your a marine and you have pinned down the chinese to their very last spawn area, you'd do anything to get it. The Chinese have no where else to spawn but here at that last flag, that's when spawn raping would occur. It happens, and like i said, the game was desgined for that. It may not happen all the time, but when your on the winning side, it's worth every moment.

get it now?
