Yeah, I've bought everything except for Euro Force. So far, nothing has happened. Let's see how long this will last...

3/19/2006 5:06:10 PM

IMHO, the EA downloader bullshit aside, all the new maps fucking rock.

very armor laden, all of them.

3/19/2006 6:09:04 PM

WOW. You are not kidding! I love it!

Is it just me, or does the Eurofighter handle pretty badly? It does seem exceptionally stable and is great at accelerating and decelerating, though. I find that it's sorely lacking as an air-to-ground fighter because the bombs are spread so far apart that you can have trouble dropping two of them on the same target. Still, though... I'm sure I'll like it with more practice.

I'm VERY annoyed that you don't get any more unlocks after buying the game, though. I still wish they had explained what those last 2 were for back a month ago. I'd have definitely not pissed them away on Assault rifles which I never use.

3/19/2006 7:46:19 PM

im not sure where people are getting the idea that you could get "banned" by playing a fake copy of euro... all it will say when you try to connect to a server is "invalid CD key" and wont let you join. single player works fine. paranoia, people.

3/20/2006 8:22:53 AM

The eurofighter is eurotrash.

yeah it can accelerate, in a straight line, which we all know now to be a death warrant now.

I haven't had much problem with the bomb spacing considering I usually divebomb (which is also not proving to be something that is effective in the Eurotrash because it handles like a dumptruck with a drunk driver.)

3/20/2006 10:52:45 AM

heh I haven't played this game in months

you need the expansions to unlock the new guns, right?
I'd assume yes, but just making sure

3/20/2006 12:42:20 PM

for SF yes,

for EF no.

3/20/2006 12:52:37 PM

fuck! i need some $$$ so i can get this game. i'm addicted to the demo

3/20/2006 3:03:28 PM

I just got a headset and downloaded Ventrilo. Does anyone know if there is a way to make it so I can hear my squadmates through the headset but hear the regular game through my speakers?

3/20/2006 3:28:14 PM

haha

you'd think that would be the default setting

3/20/2006 4:44:40 PM

anyone know of any good tournaments i can play in for free?

3/20/2006 6:13:56 PM

DO NOT have your speakers on when you're using any kind of VOIP (teamspeak, vent, ingame).

You will NOT be able to be heard and the other people on the channel will kill you.

3/20/2006 10:07:12 PM

more like turn on push to talk.

3/20/2006 10:07:55 PM

Battlefield 2142 plz

3/20/2006 11:19:01 PM

^^^I had it yesterday so the sound was coming out of the speakers and I was just using the mic on the headset. I didn't have any complaints, but the sound wasn't too loud. My roommate said that he could hear the sounds from the game a little, but not enough to be annoying.

3/21/2006 10:37:09 AM

Push to talk don't matter because the game sounds will come in through the mic when you hit the button

its annoying as fuck-all.

3/21/2006 11:00:56 AM

i hate it when someones playing and blaring music all the time too
that sucks man!

3/21/2006 11:54:14 AM

As EA has released the 1.22 patch/hotfix, there have been only a few changes. I've read they are already working on 1.3 patch. What other issues/concerns would you players like to see in that?

I'm personally tired of EA just addressing problems in small bits instead of just correct/improve the game as thoroughly as possible in a single try like most other games i've played competitively in the past.

3/28/2006 11:21:42 PM

you're kidding, another patch?

3/29/2006 7:58:57 AM

Anyone experienced noticeable changes to the Support Kit guns yet?

3/29/2006 12:48:32 PM

^^^ i would imagine its easier and more reliable to fix problems a little bit at a time

but i dont know shit about programming

3/29/2006 1:42:20 PM

OK, so the Great Wall map is the cheesiest map in the entire game - even if you're winning. So long as you can control the choke point in the middle of the map, you can completely screw the other team over since there is no way to get to the other side. That map would be about 100% better if each team got a helicopter, and not necessarily a transport.

On the other hand... there's no better map on which to get easy explosives kills. It's situational, but a good engineer can get on top of the wall, find the entrance into the courtyard, and then toss AT mines over the side to completely prevent vehicles from getting in. This works wonders if your commander can arrange to drop a supply crate up on top of the wall with you. Conveniently, it seems that the programmers wanted people to be able to do this as there's a box which sits right in front of the break in the parapet where you can chuck mines over. This also works wonders with C4, but you have to be careful that you don't get shot while tossing more over the side. That's why mines are slightly better - you can have a ton of them sitting out at a time, and the grass is so dark that they will almost never be spotted.

Last time I played this map, I had 40 kills from just lobbing mines over the side. That's just so wrong...

3/30/2006 1:55:56 PM

is your ingame name Axelay? if it is, you're full of shit. if you had 40 mine kills, you would have at least the vet EOD badge if not the expert

3/30/2006 2:46:12 PM

oosh

3/30/2006 5:20:41 PM

How about if you stop and think for a minute about how you can't immediately make the jump from no badge at all to a veteran's or expert's badge. It just doesn't work that way. And seeing as how I didn't have any explosives badge at all prior to the round I played... well, do the math.

3/30/2006 7:07:30 PM

w/o reading through 43 pages...who is currently playing on a team and competing on some league/ladder?

3/30/2006 10:41:17 PM

^^ You can go from no bage to veteran i did it with my knife badge. It just awards both at the same time.

3/30/2006 11:08:56 PM

^^i'm not, but i want to. any suggestions?

3/31/2006 1:12:47 AM

i dont have SF but do you need it to download EF?

3/31/2006 10:40:51 AM

i don't think so

4/3/2006 11:35:23 AM

i've been playing with 21CW... but our campaign is about over

4/4/2006 8:02:11 AM

next campaign will start in a few weeks

4/6/2006 5:23:04 PM

campaign? where are ya'll competing at?

ladder/league?

4/7/2006 6:51:26 PM

i just played for the 1st time in like 2.5-3 months and man did i suck lol. guess when ur away from it for so long u lose ur skills.

4/9/2006 12:21:22 AM

yeah you do, especially when multiple patches have come out and fucked up the game.

4/9/2006 12:55:22 AM

fuck battlefield 2, it crashes like a bitch on my system. pentium-D 2.8ghz with 1gig ram, 7800gt and an audigy card. i don't fucking get why it crashes all the time. i can't figure it out.


i hate this game and i hate ea. fuckers.

4/9/2006 2:07:24 AM

Well there are a lot more people out there with the same specs and have it running, so I'm going to go ahead and chalk your problems up to PEBCAK.

Update your drivers foo. Download the latest PB files manually.

4/9/2006 9:17:39 AM

since patchin this game it takes forever for me to connect at the beginning with my name and password. this happen to anyone else?

4/9/2006 5:09:09 PM

5 seconds

4/9/2006 8:09:38 PM

hmm..takes me about 20-25 seconds to authorize my name and password. dunno y cause it never used to take that long b4 i patched.

4/9/2006 8:11:20 PM

^^^^ has to be punkbuster, i can play fine single player or multiplayer over lan, and i've updated to the latest PB release and still no dice

its really damn aggrivating. i get into the game (sometimes if i make it past "join game" after verifying) and its slow as hell and eventually it just freezes up for about 30sec-1min and then it stops, says i was booted, and i proceded to alt-f4 the shit.

4/9/2006 11:11:32 PM

i second these comments... i didn't play for 2 weeks, then went from 1.0 to 1.22, man what a change...

punkbuster is the debil.

It breaks win2000 installs.

I've seen it happen with my very own eyes.

4/10/2006 1:24:53 PM

THEN IT MUST BE TRUE!

4/10/2006 1:28:46 PM

I so dearly wish that there was a way to make the JSF drop to 0 throttle WITHOUT it attempting to go vertical... It is at such a remarkable disadvantage against the other fighters because of this. Before the changes to the missiles, I could dogfight better with it than any other plane thanks to its VTOL ability. Now, though? I'd rather dogfight in a fighter-bomber.

4/11/2006 11:08:10 PM

assuming you use a joystick, there WILL BE A POINT where it goes to 0 miles an hour without hovering.

find that position, i did.

4/12/2006 1:00:47 PM

AXELAY,

cut power to 50%. Thats 0 horizontal thrust, 0 vertical.

Mig29 is the best plane IMHO. Only drawback is that its a big target for guns.

4/12/2006 2:53:03 PM

Ugh, I still can't seem to make it hit 0 throttle. I put the throttle on my joystick at 50%, and the damn VTOL still engages. Guess I'll need to keep working with it. It would completely redeem the JSF for me if I could just get it to "bounce" missiles off of it like I can with the other fighters.

I completely agree that the Mig is the best. It's unreal how well one can bomb with that plane. I don't know if the bombs are simply more powerful than those of the other planes, but I would suspect my bomb kill ratio with the Mig is probably 3 times better than with any of the other fighters. I sure wish stats would show the pilot's performance difference between the fighters... is this possible?

4/13/2006 10:42:45 AM

I doubt it.

4/13/2006 10:43:54 AM

Someone please recommend some good 64-player servers which are running Euro Force maps? I thought ICUS was for a while, but I haven't seen a new map in about a week.
