Hurrah!! About time those rabbit jumping Quake kids were shown whats what!

Could not agree more .

Be interesting if the - AA missile lock has been improved will actually help.

Anyone actually destroyed a plane/helicopter with a AA missile?

I got a helo with 4 (or was it 6?) shots recently. That was almost worth the 28 times I got killed by 12.7mm shells turning my body into red mush before I managed it

Woot. It'll become sniper-alley, just like Call of Duty did as soon as they stopped bunny-hopping.

I'm not a big bunny-hopper (not at all in BF2) but I stopped playing CoD because the maps instantly became jam-packed with snipers (who, in such numbers, do nothing but fuck the gameplay over).

I don't particularly mind them stopping bunny hopping in BF2 - but I think they should limit the snipers more... they do nothing but annoy me


Personal opinion, I know. But fuck I hate 'em. (And not because they kill me)

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Forgive my ignorance here (don't play BF2) but wouldn't the use of artillery largely nullify snipers, or is there something i'm missing here (aside from them hiding in indestructable cover that is )

 

[Clown]

You can't waste artillery on one man

 

[Embattle]

I do...esp if he shoots me and becomes annoying

 

[TdC]

I would, but only if it was Embattle

Unlike COD, BF2 has lots of ripostes to snipers; arty, armour to protect yourself, effective spotting, so on balance tactics to deal with snipers are far more preferable to tactics to deal with bunny-hoppers. And at least sniping is a valid tactic, unlike jumping all over the map, which is just fucking annoying.

Of course this patch doesn't seem to fix the frame drops etc. which would be FAR more useful.

Nice Thread

Yes you did seem to hide rather a lot when commander when I last played.....thus my tactic involves inserting a tank sideways up your botty

I also seem to remember spending a lot of time being dead. Perhaps you couldn't find me because I was only on the map for five seconds every 10 seconds
