To jump on the Medic subject. I love playing the Medic and most of the time I'm at least in the top 3 on the server. Nothing better than running from cover to cover to rez a downed squadmate.


P.S.: Paddle kills are not only fun but profitable.

Todd33:

There will be a realism mod that fixes all that. Just Google "BF2 Realism Mod".

No "You killed xxx" when you kill them (or they kill you). This ruins the ability to make it out of combat alive, they know you lived and keep lobbing tank shots, etc. your way until they see the message. I should be able to play dead, in real war there is no dumb message. This would make the madicsmore usefull, there would be more injuries and less deaths.
Being able to play dead would ruin this game. Everyone would be flopping down after one shot is fired, and nothing would get done. We all want BF2 to be realistic, but you have to draw the line somewhere between fun and god-awful.

Choppers should fly like Desert Combat. This auto hover crap is a joke. I can be COMMANDER and Fly the chopper at same time..Thats my new exploit. Tell whole team to grab flags A and B while Get the other ones by myself.

NO FAVORITES lol....Cant tell server IP when ur in a game to tell your friends...AMAZING OVERSIGHTS
Server list refreshes behind the scenes whenever you goto that screen...It should only refresh when I say
PING 0..WTF...Idiots
I also notice Pings not real..they are always 0-47-65-115-225 or around therel
I want to refresh ONE server by highlighting it...I swear its like EA/DICE didn't even test the GUI. How could ANY fvcking employee who gets to play video game sFOR THIER LIVING not Fvcking say something in a meeting like..."um..the GUI sucks and is laggy....Half these ppl ARE from TRAUMA who MADE Desert Combat! Did they Not Speak up and say....HEY DUMB@SSES,, lets use a the GUI from DC...or ANY game for that matter...simply amazing oversights....Yes Im pissed.

When a round is over and its the same map it goes to my menu screen for like 2 seconds and asks for me to join..DUH !
VOIP....Whats the sample rate..its a joke..the should just have impoted TS or VENT in it...SUZ BF2's sounds like crap


PLEASE: Somebody advise me of a Mod whose website is up to date (not NEWS' from April like half of them are.)
I want a Mod that is BF2 +...Just add some equipment and adjust things..not turn it into 1912 theatre or Starwars..Just basically Fix it cuz u KNOW EA wont...
Anybody know of such a mod?

In DC if you drop c4 and switch to the detonator, if you click left mouse to detonate before the remote is fully up it will go back to c4. Requiring multiple switches if someone comes around a corner and you need to det asap.

IN bf2, you toss out your last charge, and you better not hold down the button for a nanosecond longer because the mouse click carries over and will detonate the charges.

Both circumstances are very annoying, though in DC if you plant them well ahead of time and have the detonator up you can avoid the switching problem. BF2 can be just lag, were you double click to make sure you toss out the last charge, but the second click also carries over. I would definately like to see a left click to toss charges, right click to det.

i beg to differ, i play support....and even though it uses a good bit of ammo ive killed way to many people to keep count. and while theyre reloading ive still got 150 rounds left to pummel them with

theres a knack to it.......short sharp bursts, best in the prone posistion. ive killed from distance too, nothing wrong with the gun as far as im concerned. if you cant use it properly play as another character

It had a two and a half yard spread at 4 yards distance when standing up and using the iron sights.

It needs to be tightened.

yes ive noticed some very big spreads..I know we are all used to CS and DC but some of my non kills from shooting ppl in the back have simply amazed me..
ALSO: Get rid of IRONSIGHTS ! Yes I love taking up a third of my screen with BLACK...
Every gun that zooms in should behave like the AUG in CS...Just zoom it in a lil and make me move a lil slower..perfect...done.
PLEASE MOD THIS GAME....I will pay you to fix it ! lol

I'm getting really sick and tired of the laggy ranked servers, and the damned server browser doesn't help things one bit. I can easily spend 10 minutes trying to get into a server, and it always ends up my trying one that is supposedly full and getting in. Once I get in, I'm jumping all around, and nothing I do will fix it but leaving the server that took me 10 minutes to find in the first place. I've never liked a game that I loathe so much. It's like seeing a car that is so damned ugly, yet you still like it, an unexplained phenomenon.

Disagree with this one. I often score 70 points or more using the medic. Join a squad, be a medic, and support your squad.

Medic should be able to use defibulator as an offensive weapon. I've tried this several times over that last week and it doesn't work.

Engineer should be able to use the wrench as a melee weapon.

And the bugs need to be fixed. The internet browser is a joke.

Unless it's changed for retail, in the demo in single player I've seen bots paddle each other, and players paddle each other in multiplayer.

I agree..... I only see lag when it comes to servers with high pings....... 2 gigs makes the game run smooth as butter on large 64 player maps.
