I understand that. Its just it was fun before and now it sucks. Also with the damn guns on that thing even if you hit someone it doesn't even kill them unless you pound them for like 3 seconds. I can understand reducing the radius of the damage but even one bullet from that would kill somone now it takes like ten...

I never had any trouble killing the bunny hoppers... hell, they were cake to hit. Most would agree. The problem is how fscking retarded it looked. It removed you from the experience; it was LAME.

We had to deal WITH it, now you can deal WITHOUT it.

I like everything about the new patch except the Blawk Hawk. Sure before it was a little cheap before but people could still take it out... Now that thing is a flying death trap.

It is a TRANSPORT chopper, not an ATTACK chopper. The MEC/CHINA had no equivilant, so it was nerfed.

i think they changed the grenades too. i don't remember being able to throw them that far before. seems like you can throw them halfway across the map!

It was a compromise because you can no longer jump and throw.

The only thing I don't like is that you can't throw C4 over walls now, other than that? :thumbsup:

huh? i thought you could always throw c4 over walls and stuff?

are we talking about the same game? because when i played last (before the new patch), you could unload into someone and it would barely hurt them (thats if it even hit them)

also, the dolphin diving was an EXPLOIT. doing it screwed up the hitboxes (which happens with about every game that allows prone or leaning).

ummm before the patch it was easy to kill people with the Black hawk I thought... But either way now its practically impossible and sounds exactly the way are descibing it even blasting them it only *might* kill them but probably not.

Its annoying how rediculous it is to kill people sometimes. I'm getting very aggravated playing right now as we speak.

Edit - I just shot a guy liek 4 times with an assault rifle from 5 feet.. then he turns around and kills me. annoying!

you guys ever seen a real soldier bunnyhop?

please you try jumping around like that in full armor and a pack well see how fast you move...
its more realistic if i wanted to play an arcade game id play CS.. which is for teenagers and arcade boys..

let us big boys have BF2...
ok, so since this game is now so realistic tell me this...

how can a crescent wrench fix everything?
how can you raise a flag in a tank?
how can a dephibulator cure all?
how water is extremely flammable and will cause vehicles to explode?
how claymores will only kill enemies but not teammates?

now, i'm not saying that all this is bad (maybe except for the claymores), but that dice should not have changed up the game play as much as they did with the 1.2 patch. it completely changed the style of the game.

yes, kudos to getting rid of dolphin hopping, but, that's about it.

The MG's are way to accurate now lol. I'm support nowadays, because it absolutely owns now.
throwing nades go way too far.
There seems to be a wierd lag/bug associated w/ throwing objects while jumping (of course they took it out..). When you jump and accidently toss something, there's a hiccup or something. hate it.

Missiles are way too fast and move totally stupidly, and zigzags, and turns 180 degrees until it hits the target. Made the game easier on the noobs.

Of course, I've gotten used to the patch. I fly a lot, and I tell my teammates to SPOT enemy planes first thing. Also tell wingman to do constant runs on enemy AA's. Of course I do the same. AA's are my primary targets. I've already adapted to AA's however. That'll be my secret. A huge hint is, just stay out of every single AA's range. once u know the range, ur unstoppable. How to constantly stay away, i won't tell you. it's actually pretty obvious lol.

I've also changed the path of bombing runs to avoid AAs. Also, I learned how to avoid the first missile, but never the 2nd missile. But still, it enables me to survive.
And before the AA guy can lock onto you, there's a way to quickly get out of lockon range, and only one missile can be fired. And dodging one missile is possible.


At first I hated the patch. now, only very few can get in a plane and survive. I've adapted, despite some of the changes I've despised. I love the game, so I have to adapt. No time to b!tch and complain.

well, actually, i did make some constructive complaints in the forums.. but, donno, now I want the AA's and missiles to remain accurate, since I can now avoid at least the first missile.
I constantly check my 6 now. now, whoever's behind the other plane first, wins. Before, it was constant chasing, evading, long dogfights w/ cannons. I'm a crapload more aware while in the air.

I rarely used missiles before 1.2.



Now 1.21 is coming out soon. ehh..

DICE CAN"T MAKE GAMES WITH OUT BUG! ITS AN FACT THAT ALL BF SERIES HAD HUGE BUGS AFTER LAUNCH :

BF1942 : FUN BUGS ( tanks were flying in air , so were people , plans did silly tricks , it was like stunt DICE WORLD :) )
BF Vietnam : ANNOYING BUGS
BF 2 : WORST BUGS IN DICE HISTORY ALSO THE WORST PATCH UPDATE TO KILL THE GAME TOTALLY FOR PEOPLE :! THE SAD DAY IN DICE HISTORY WHEN THEY RELEASED the 1st PATCH

Sorry for the caps.

you know whast funny? before the patch if you complained about bunny hoppers and stuff, the bunny hoppers and people who liked it said "deal with it" or "adapt". now that its changed, those people are now whining. what happened to "adapting or dealing with it?"

hehe, bunny hoppers were never a problem for me, since I like to have my mouse sensitivity ultra high. My CS:S sensitivity is 17. for BF2, i have it about 3/4th the way across.

Just one jerk, and I can make a full 360 turn. I HATE lifting the mouse off the pad that's why.

This also made me have no problems against bunny hoppers, since I was easily able to track them up and down. It almost became habitual to have minute jerky movements of up-down when I was close to an enemy.

Those actions are mearly simple representations of real actions a soldier could perform.
raising a flag is just symbolic of holding/controlling and area... they arnt really raising a flag..

Dephib is representing giving combat first aid...
Wrench represents getting mechanics help etc..

as for the claymores well you would assume that friendly troops would know those are thier just like in real life and avoid thier cone of fire .. just like mines shouldnt hurt teamates either.. becasue if you know they are there why would you run over them?


this all does not even compare to acrobatic soldiers shooting while hopping all over the place...

goiod patch over all..
when the few bugs are fixed will totally rock.

another hint for you flyboys:

never ever drop in for a bombing run until your flares have reloaded.

hmm, should i spill the rest that i've learn to do and not to do in 1.2?

What is a "dolphin dive"?
