[QUOTE=Cree8ive;28406275]If it was a huge problem on BF2142 it was doomsday on BF2 Strike at Karkand. Even after you died you would experience at least 3 grenades exploding around you.[/QUOTE] You gotta know the map. This is my tactic: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467131/B2KST.jpg[/img] It works 80% of the time perfectly (AKA at least 10 kills and 1 cap) and I avoid grenade spam almost all the time.

[QUOTE=Contrails;28406914]source?[/QUOTE] They've tweeted about it and the analysis video from last page said that as well. No dragging team mates infront of enemy claymores to clear them anymore :frown: [QUOTE=Spetzaz;28407021]You gotta know the map.

[QUOTE=Spetzaz;28407088]That almost never happens with me.[/QUOTE] Did you play on the TV2 Karkand Infantry only servers? Happened all the time when the viking clan/clans played. Real coordination through the whole round. Shit was intense I tell you! :dance:

[QUOTE=John Freeman;28402791]I'll admit, sometimes in BC2 when I see some lone wookie jump in apache and fly away alone, I hit their tail with at-4 causing them to nose dive.[/QUOTE] Hope you're not the guy that did that to my chopper.. :| He team crashed me, then took the chopper, and then he died because he crashed.. :|

I'm partial to large scale combined arms maps, I like having freedom of movement.

Sometimes Wake Island (but most of the time you would just get your ass bombed from the jets flying in the air). But Karkand was definitely my favourite map :v:

The jets and helicopters in BF2 just dominated. There's never really been a good balance between Hellicopter and Infantry. Rather than playing infantry support the vehicles tend to play the role of merciless Infantry destroyer. Thats why I like to play sniper, I can generally avoid all the bullshit and just stick to the task of taking out key infantry, or I can harass the vehicles from extreme distance

Anything in particular you guys want me to include in the next OP? An all-around Battlefield OP (but mainly BF3, almost finished it already)

It's a realistic feature, but take FH2 for example, for tanks you get AP (armor piercing for use against tanks) and HE (high explosive for use against infantry). Such a feature would be great in BF3, that way tanks need to decide whether they want to fight infantry, or fight hard targets. Helicopters should probably be geared to either precision strikes or large scale inaccurate strikes. The issue in BF2 is that they could do both at all times, just made them into multi-purpose killing machines. A fighter jets, well, bombing should be less accurate. people would just swoop down on you in BF2 and drop a bomb right on your face (literally) Maybe if jets were faster and less agile that shit wouldn't happen so much.

I tried the jets in BF2 once. Then I got shot down a couple of seconds later. :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Cree8ive;28408284]By me :v:[/QUOTE] He speaks the truth. Seeing as how he sat next to me, I tried to copy his moves. It didn't work. Then I tried sabotage. Pressed escape, and saw his plane plummet. Glorious victory!

Fuck me I want me some BF3

[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;28405130]I'm actually REALLY pissed about not being able to drag teammates in multiplayer. I know I probably won't miss it but it removes the possibility of some really great moments. I hope you'll still be able to prop your gun up on any cover in MP.[/QUOTE] a bit unrelated, but i remember a moment in ArmA 2 where a teammate had been wounded and was laying out in the open but we were there alone because the rest of the team had started moving forward and we were cleaning up so i started dragging him to a medic while being shot and then a friendly APC came along and drove next to us as we got to safety point is, it can make some really awesome moments, but at the same time in a game like Battlefield, there will be too many chances to grief

Although I remember taking on both of you and kill you several times in the air :smug: But damn you sabotager, turn around one sec. and I find myself in a wreck in the water :saddowns:

Yeah, vehicles in BF2 were basically infantry on steroids. No real downsides in using them and if you're in hot water you can just bail out.

Fuck, those trailers just made BC2 so cheap. Can't wait to play BF3. Need to get a new comp though.

Occasionally.[/QUOTE] Well they generally vary between those two numbers, some at 25, some at 27-28 and some at 30. Depends on the game I suppose, but yeah your right.

So I guess it's a fair point.

The guy should be the voice in trailers Some of the writing he is reading from seems really awkward for him to recite

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;28408656]What's with the hate on BC2?[/QUOTE] I don't see a lot of it here, but I hold resentment towards BC, because, for starters BC1 was consoles only. Considering the Battlfield fan base was predominantly PC at that point, I think the initial hate is palpable. BC2 was on the PC but was poorly optimized. Second, theres the bastardized singleplayer campaign, and a multiplayer experience that falls vastly short in comparison to Battlefield 2; small maps and half the player numbers. generally games get better as they go on in time but Bad Company's scope of gameplay was quite limited compared to BF2.

The trailer analysis is more of the trailer in the back ground of a guy reading a description of the trailer. A lot of what he says can be easily seen by the person watching the video and doesn't require much explanation.
