    This is about everything that drives me mad in this game.

    It has a lot of bugs, yes. Here is an accurate list of them..
    These are the scientific laws of BF2:
    1. If you spot an enemy before he sees you, chances are you will die.
    2. The probability of killing someone is inversely proportional to how much you want to kill him.
    3. For every good thing done, something bad happens.
    4. If you see a bunch of easy targets in front of you, you will miss all of them and die.
    5.You have a better chance of throwing a handfull of sniper rifle bullets and killing the enemy, than shooting them at him.
    6.For every one enemy you kill with mines, you will kill 2 friendlies and they will both punish the TK.
    7.Idiots have a unique pheromone receptor which can sense a friendlyarty strike. Once initiated they run to the center of the strike likemoths to a flame, thrust their noses in the air and put there finger onthe PgDn button ready for the climax!
    8.Thou shalt always respawn into an arty strike or a massive unfriendly assault and die before you can do anything.
    9.A dune buggy slowly slipping down a gentle slope is the most brutaland deadly thing in the game if you’re standing in its path.
    10.When fleeing from an enemy, you will be shot to death, inches away from your cover.
    11.when a gunner in a helo, chances are u got the worst pilot u can think of
    12.When you have no money chances are your joystick will go funny.
    13.If someone with an ak101 happens to glance at you, you will instantly die of fear.
    14.No matter what weapon you carry, it will take over half a magazineto attempt to kill the guy that take you out with a three round burstor less.
    15.Holding right mouse button when throwing a grenade changes throw length from feet to inches.
    16.Even with the dexterity to balance the blade of his knife on hisfinger, a soldier will constantly miss when lunging to stab astationary enemy.
    17.Somehow, a man can take a 50.cal sniper round to the chest WITHOUT DYING.
    18.Your pistol is a much better sniper rifle than your .50cal rifle
    19.A crescent wrench can fix anything
    20.You can raise a flag in a tank.
    21.Seconds before you get your hard-earned Flag-Capture Point, an Enemywill pop up and kill you, giving the Capture Point to your Team-Mate.
    22.After shooting an enemy Tank to low Health with your APC, your Gunwill overheat and a Team-Mate will grab the kill, leaving you with noteven a Kill-Assist.
    23.You will never be able to swim away fast enough from an accidently drowned Jeep.
    24.Claymores only kill foolish teammates.
    25.If you want an enemy to abandon an armoured vehicle, run at it from the rear and let them see you doing it, they’ll jump out.
    26.No matter what, dephibulators cure all
    27.the pinnacle of aviation technology cannot help a bomb hit its target
    28.all vehicles have electrical armour plating, as when u touch it, ur dead
    29.The more you press the 9 key to deploy a chute, the less likley the chute will deploy
    30.You spawn right next to the enemy tank.
    31.If you want to be a sniper you should choose Anti-Tank Class.
    32.Just as you detonate the C4 on the UAV trailer, two to threeteammates will drive up in a jeep right next to the detonation site.
    33.No matter how much you shoot a guy parachuting down, he will nevertake any damage. And, when he gets down you are out of ammo and hekills you.
    34.You are killed after a 10 minute run to an enemy flag, right before you reach it.
    35.Water is extremely flamable and will cause vehicles to explode.
    36.If your in a group and run into a single enemy, you WILL die first.
    37.Confucious say: When commander drop supply crate from sky, look up or you will endure headache until next spawn
    38.Confucious say: Man with handful of wheat will hit enemy more than with M229 SAW.
    39.Spawning is more like a race to the heli.
    40.A tank that’s motionless while capturing a flag will wait until yourun up behind it to plant C4 before the drivers cat steps on the S keyand kills you.
    41.Just after you found a great Spot to snipe from, while takingcareful Aim at a Group of Enemies - you will be knifed from behind.
    42.After taking a few well-aimed Shots at an Enemy, he will spin around and kill you with a single round from his MP5.
    43.You must be the fattest person in the army as you cannot fit through a 3 foot wide gap between the bamboo
    44.After throwing a pack of C4 on top of a smoking tank, and pullingout detonator, the remaining C4 (in your pocket) will magicallyexplode…every time.
    45.If you are capping a flag alone in a tank the one enemy that manages to spawn in time will be a spec op…
    46.If you are capping a flag and once it goes neutral you hear arty guns firing in the distance, run like #@$%!!!
    47.If you need tank support, drop a mine on the road and a friendly tank will show up in no time…
    48.If you respawn as an anti-tank the tank will have either disappeared or magically spawned many enemies who know exactly where you respawned
    49.When in need of medical aide call for a supply drop, the crate willbe there in no time to crush you to death, thus ending your need formedical aide
    50. Asking a Commander for ammo means he will send Artillery with the assumption you catch them and throw them at the enemy.

    Oh add how crap the ingame server browser is :rolleyes: .

    Rant over :)

    I was playing the BFV mod Point of Exeistance and its way better than BF2. The choppers are worth flying and the sound effects are out of this world. And no anoyingguy telling you how to do things you already know how to do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,240 ✭✭✭Endurance Man


    I just thought that from the demo to the full game all u got was new maps :cool: . Very dissapointing, ahhh, cant put my finger on it but this game is just not as good as its made out to be.

    I don't know why people bitch about the sniper rifles.
    I played BF2 last weekend after a long break from it and I could pick people off no problem. Head shot = 1 shot 1 kill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Berns


    Playin there today. In a Mig, aimed at a black hawk. So, fire a couple of missiles and go in with guns blazin. Anyhow, usually wait till last minute till pull up & avoid it, usually comin out ok & possibly with or without the kills. Thing was, pilot of BH pulled up to, & therefore resulted in crash as was headin straight toward him & pullin up to go over him. Fair enough so be it. Starts slaggin off & same thing happens about twice more.

    Although I dont like the kami tactic, war is war. The japs used kami pilots in pearl harbour. Just pisses me off people complainin when they go on about ***kin n00b crashin into us, when was clearly tryin to avoid crashin. If I was to try and go under the BH, which was basically on the ground ...... would be no chance of either me survivin or gettin any kills. So way i see it, when have a pilot like that in BH, & ur in jet, u either:
    A - just let them cap away as ya wont hit em from distance by time locked on, fire missiles & they've got the flares out, & u lock on again, ya cant get 2nd change b4 they reload flares
    B - Go in tryin to shoot em, Guns & missiles, prob at a slow pace where u cant manouver much endin in ya prob stallin when over them & they goin up shoutin N00b as they crash from under ya
    C - go in, firin & hope to kill em, but if not sacrifice urself into the ground & kill urself just so ya dont crash into em.

    Tend to do option B most times :P

    *Rant, Rant, Rant*

    when a helo pilot feels threatened we will pull up
    so if you are ina plane go under.

    personally if i feel threatened i hit the deck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Gone West


    My only gripe:
    kids tk you to get to the choppers first, then crash said chopper straight away.
    fine.
    So I wait for it to respawn. so does the kid.
    repeat step #1.
    So I give up and play another role.

    Kid is shít at choppers and causes enemy chopper to gain dominance and hence win the game for them.

    Happens all the time.

    POE was fun and all, but POE was filling the gap between DC and BF2, imho. BF2 rules.

    One thing I do like about POE tho, is that you know it ain't finished, whereas BF2 is *meant* to be finished!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 647 ✭✭✭DingChavez


    If you want to be a sniper use the Anti-tank class. The pistol is 10x better than any ol' rifle. + You can take out Tanks and helos.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,371 ✭✭✭✭Zillah


    That bit about electrified armor really pisses me off. I'm sooo sick of dying when I tip off an enemy tank while trying to C4 it.
