What's the point requirement for Staff Sergeant now? I'm at like 4000 points and i don't even have a sliver on the bar.

holy god. Flying wake island on the chinese side is the most ridiculous thing ever.

I blew up EVERY SINGLE BOAT that left either the carrier or the island for a good 10 minutes straight

Ended up with over DOUBLE the score of the silver star

10/21/2005 2:17:34 PM

what do you do when an allied pilot decides to take you out and capture your airfield?

10/21/2005 2:29:30 PM

^^It's better with an attack chopper (if you know how to fly one). The only problem is if they have a gunner, but usually there is only one person per boat and even if they do have a gunner you can easily destroy the boat before he does any damage.

10/21/2005 3:25:25 PM

whats the key to do the drop-and-roll on the ground thing

10/21/2005 3:32:32 PM

^ i have surmised its just people jumping and pressing the lay down key

i think its just a visual effect

10/21/2005 4:27:00 PM

Im pretty sure all you gotta do is be strafing to one side or the other and hit prone and the other person sees you do it.

10/21/2005 6:34:48 PM

i got two 7 ppl blackhawk kills in a row, each first tv missile shot on wake island as chinese

10/21/2005 6:37:52 PM

Have any of you guys gotten a "Corrupted File/Memory [81104]" message after being kicked from a server?

10/21/2005 6:42:20 PM

Yep its a system wide Punkbuster issue that just got pushed maybe

Ive tried many servers with everyone having the same issues

Ok good I was hoping that I wouldn't have to re-install. I was wondering why there were so many 0/32 servers. Whenever I do get into a server it says "xxx has been disconnected from the server" where xxx = everyone in the server.

10/21/2005 6:56:55 PM

Yeah ...



I ran the PBweb app to manually update PB and it still didnt work either.

Utt ohh EA and PB many kiddies gonna cry over this one.

I haven't tried yet, but someone in that thread on the bf2s forum said that it should be up in a few mins. I will try and post my results. If you don't hear back from me within like 20 mins, it means that it is working.

how do i start getting on winning teams? my win / loss ratio is like .5

i join the game and im auto-assigned to a team, and im usually in the top 3 of my team, but my team never seems to win. is that just bad luck?

i played about 10 games tonight, on several different servers, and dont think my team won once

10/21/2005 11:58:18 PM

bad teamwork, so probably partially your fault, or your teams.

10/22/2005 2:20:29 AM

people tend to switch to the winning team

so my teamwork (which is pretty good, since i usually have one of the highest teamwork scores) is more important than 1/15th of the team? you wouldnt think that would make much of a difference

im doomed, or maybe just bad luck

10/22/2005 10:24:37 AM

no, you need to squad up and work together as squads, changing leaders as the leader dies to respawn on each other, etc. if you have a squad of 6, you can just about take any flag any time. (unless it's their only flag and they're all there). keep doing that from flag to flag, will help ticket reduction rate having > half flags.

10/22/2005 10:49:02 AM

It is probably bad teamwork. Most squad leaders ignore anything the commander says, and most squad members ignore anything the squad leader says. It is rare to find a good squad unless you knew the people before hand.

10/22/2005 1:01:04 PM

man...you should all remove your vertex shader optimize files, defrag, then defrag after they get optimized. it loads much faster.

10/24/2005 4:34:06 PM

I just got my first gold star on a 64 player map!


Unfortunately it was via a pretty pathetic tactic. My team was US one Wake Island, we captured their airfield within 3 minutes, Blackhawk gatling gun ftw.

10/24/2005 8:42:40 PM

so you camped. fag.

10/24/2005 9:35:22 PM

getting the high score while on the ground with an assualt or anti tank kit means you are leet as shit

blackhawk/tank whoring is all great...but it doesnt make you leet

10/24/2005 9:42:31 PM

yeah so my computer is dead - video card is not recoverable unless I can get a lucky RMA out of it.. but the heatsink was not factory and the factory fan is loooooong gone.. (Radeon 9700) - so now I have to choose to purchase a new vid card to go with all my backup parts or pick up a new console system

10/25/2005 12:40:41 AM

just broke 100 gold stars with a 24 teamwork 41 kill 8 death spec ops infantry run.

taking out choppers with the FAV and using c4 effectively is so tits.

so is assaulting a CP full of people with 2 guys that know what their doing.

im just cock waving 8( forgive me.

e-cock waving about a fucking video game, a new low.

10/25/2005 1:36:44 AM

Quote :

yeah but even that's debatable.

The thing I can't stand is (which I'm sure it's been covered exhaustively in this thread already) that people moan and bitch about spawn raping and I don't think that this game even has that. If I'm parked outside a flag with a tank and I'm blasting like 15 guys while they spawn, it's called covering fire/suppresive fire. I'm waiting for my squad that's on foot to move in and take the flag. Sitting outside a untakeable flag although I would consider spawn camping unless the opposing force has driven that team all the way back, and now they're just assuring you don't get off your carrier. It sucks and it's happened to me a lot, but anyway, that's my opinion.

10/25/2005 2:36:08 AM

Gunnery Sergeant now, gona take a while to get Master Sergeant

10/25/2005 4:54:08 AM

Like I said before there is no spawn camping in this game. Squad hoppers will beat spawn campers any day. The game is too fluid and dynamic for spawn camping to be effective more than for a couple minutes (at least against someone who knows what they are doing). I have yet to see someone spawn camp effectively for an entire map as was possible in Call of Duty or BFV.

10/25/2005 9:22:49 AM

if you have a squad you can camp any battleship for the entire round using the squad respawn technique.

10/25/2005 10:32:33 AM

If you are the only one left, are you able to create a squad and have people spawn on you (if all of your flags are captured?)

[Edited on October 25, 2005 at 11:54 AM. Reason : ]

10/25/2005 11:25:57 AM

^you cannot do that

im sick of people thinking they can. becuase, you cant.

if there are no flags, you CANT SPAWN
