Had a good BF2 day?

Wowzas, revives to the max. :LOL: Still a decent amount of kills too.
 
I once got 100+ by being a medic bitch. We'd get shot at and revive each other in mass amount and nobody in our group would shoot back, so we made tons of points but never actually shot back. Still won.
 
Well we took one side of that northernmost building on Warlord.. And everyone knows that place turns into GrenadeFest 2k6, so I was getting massive amounts of revives.. Meanwhile, the G36 owns, and I was getting a fair amount of kills too.
 
w00t! Got a new shiny expert badge...

Bit glad, since I was getting tired of seeing the damn Wrench and Mp-7 :|
 
AA FTW!

I feel like playing... i'll load it up when i gets home :)

Don't make me hurt even more...
 
Someone must take a screenshot of "how good their BF2 day was" when they received a vehicle drop.
 
Had an absolutely terrible BF2 day? Yes..

I worked all morning getting a few of the harder badges.. Got my Vet pistol and knife.. and then mid day guess what comes out, 1.3! Yay, now people don't have to do shit to get these badges that I worked my ass off for all morning.

Thanks, champ!

What were the old requirements? I can't remember. Expert doesn't seem to have changed. Try for that one now :D

I know the pistol and knife changes IAR has be removed for sure, the rest I can't confirm. This really sucks since when you mention 'Expert' you'd expect it to be really hard to obtain, now every joe-shmoe will have it. Oh well, this makes me spending time to get the old Expert Knife a big waste of time :( The ridiculous hour requirement's Im all for reducing, but personally I don't think pistol and knife IAR requirements needed to be removed.

So true.
 
This really disappoints me, past accomplishments have all gone down the drain. There were some I agree though, like reducing the insane hour requirements (400 hours in heli... are you f**king kidding me!?!??) but instead of reducing and making everything easy, they should've just balanced it out. I'd prefer if say they dropped it by x hours but ramped up the In A Round requirements to even it out. Gah, my expert knife badge... wasted ;(
 
what a bad bf2 day i have had and its only midday, was 2 kills away from getting expert engineer.... and the server crashed!:angry:

since patch 1.3 came out all i seem to get when i join a game is a server crash within an hour..:flame:

I've yet to have a server crash and I've played ~15 hours of 1.3


I guess it's like Steam a few years ago.. Some people had tons of problems with it, some people loved it.
 
could it be that it is only affecting the EA UK official servers?

it seems all of those servers regularly crash (and some other 64 player ones)
 
Finally got all my veteran badges (aside from those pesky 4 vehicle ones that will probably take forever to get).

I still haven't gotten the basic badge for transport.. 10 minutes in a transport seems like suicide.

I regularly drive my buddies around for 20+ minutes per map and just get driver assists, so I'm pretty darn close to getting my vet badge.
 
Lol, I saw you in a game a few days ago.

I can't stay alive in a jeep that long.
 
Well whenever you get blown up in one, just respawn and hop in again. Not that hard and more fun if you get a buggy rather than a Humvee or Vodnik. Great way to rack up the roadkills too.
 
Yeah I rack up crazy roadkills. Got four people that were just prone in a road on Leviathan the other day with a TOW-Humvee. Just ran em' all over.
 
lol I sure do love snipers who think that they're God's gift to BF2. I'm on Mashtuur last night and capping Power plant. I hop in a Vodnik nearby and start driving over to Hotel. I jump out and start running around to try and cap the flag. I go prone and all of a sudden BOOM I'm headshotted. Nice shot, I'll give it to him. Then I see:

UberCoolSniperDude: BOOM HEADSHOT
UberCoolSniperDude: TAKE THAT

lol, now I can't let Barry Peppers get away with that. So I come back:

[HL2] abioGenesisX: Take it? Mmkay then

Spawn screen > Sniper > L96A1. I spawn on Power plant and run over to that one building that you can go all the way up. I lay down nice and comfy and see Barry all cozy up on top of the Mosque, thinking that nobody can get him there. Think again. I line up, pull the trigger. He flies off the top.

[HL2] abioGenesisX: KABLAMO!
UberCoolSniperDude: pfft you think your real good dont you
[HL2] abioGenesisX: Nah
[HL2] abioGenesisX: I know it

:LOL:
 
Hehe, killing sniper's in hard to access locations is one of the better moments in this game. Nothing quite as satisfying as knowing that guy had to go out of his way to access that area only to get fragged to pieces (or in this case headshotted) :)
 
Yaaaay finally Basic Knife! And also Veteran Pistol. Now getting Vet Knife won't be as much of a bitch because the IAR req is gone. Same with Exp Pistol, but I have quite a few kills to go to get to 500. :LOL:
 
I had a very good day today.
I teamed up with some random guy who couldnt speak english in a chopper. I was the pilot. He was an amazing gunner and owned with the tv-guided missles. He easily took out any vehicle (including the odd plane). I just hovered at a decent height looking for enemies, then pointed in its direction and he'd hit it! Was awesome.
Very rare you find a good gunner these days.

Feel bad for those of us (AiM I know is one of them) that got expert knife days before the patch fixed the IAR requirement..

Basic knife is easy.. :p

I'll gun with you any time. It's rare lately that I find a good pilot.
 
If you hook up with Amish, your in good hands. Although I haven't seen much of him lately... ;(
 
Yeah I've always wanted to get in a chopper with him but was never able to catch him on or be in a game with him. Glenn told me that if I needed to learn how to fly he was the one to go to. D:
 
Eh, best way to learn to fly is on your own and through experience. I started off with being a keyboard-only nub and progressed into a damn good pilot (if I may say so myself :p). Trick is learning a comfortable sensitivity setting and just fly! Most of the things are instinctive and having good awareness, I typed out a lot of my own personal tips in another thread asking about how to fly the heli... I'll see if I can dig it up (don't feel like re-typing it all).

1. Stop using keyboard, learn to use the mouse.
- The keyboard constricts your movement's, you can't fine-tune specific movements and you'll be much better off in the long run with a mouse. I started off using a keyboard too and it's just not worth it, the mouse beats it in every way imagineable.

2. Learn and familiarize your sensitivity settings.
- This is very important, everyone has their own comfort setting and it's important you use a setting at or over 5 (unless your have some ridiculously high DPI mouse). Anything lower than that mean's you'll likely have to pick up and move your mouse, that is a big no-no. Personally I use a sensitivity setting of 7 and default 1 for the other two, it's a bit high for most but that's just a setting I'm comfortable with.

3. Practice!
- This goes without saying, but it's important you familiarize yourself with your sensitivity setting. Otherwise you might risk crashing into sneaky palm tree's, damn EA needs to nerf them since I never win against them!

4. Bind key's to Camera Back and Cockpit view to easily accesible keys
- This isn't a necessity but it's very helpful, I have two extra buttons on my mouse I that I have binded these camera views to and it's helpful to spot anyone potentially sneaking up or following you. I spend 90% of my time looking backwards when I fly long distances to heal or resupply, it has saved my ass countless times.

5. Know the limits of each chopper.
- USMC is highly manuevreable, every pilot's dream. The PLA flies like a whale and the MEC one drives like a bus. It's important when you're performing evasive manuevres to compensate for each chopper, the USMC you can do quick reactions while the MEC takes forever it seems. Also, the USMC rises in altitude the fastest while the MEC takes the longest, this is important to keep in mind while in heli-to-heli battles.

6. Altitude is king
- When fighting other choppers, your number one priority should be gaining an altitude advantage. Never ever do any fancy moves in a dogfight, all those barrel rolls / loops do is cause you to lose a chunk of altitude. It's never worth it, just laugh at those idiots who think they're being cool by doing that.

7. Never stay still
- It's important you're in constant motion, heli's are paper thin nowadays and your #1 priority should always be staying alive. Ray Charles could hit a stationary helicopter, so always avoid hovering completely still. That does not mean however, that you should fly like you're drunk, when your gunner decides to TV provide him a split second of steady flying and once he launches keep manuevring.
