Why is everyone who plays this game a total wanker?

Unread postby MikeJT » 13 Apr 11, 12:47 pm

No seriously...

From sitting on the aircraft carrier trying to get the jets/attack chopper, to deliberately running over team-mates, to punishing for every team-kill no matter how accidental it was.

As an example, on Karkand, 3 or 4 of us were moving up the west alleyway from USMC spawn and an MEC guy jumps out of no where and opens fire. One of my friendlies walks across my path whilst I'm shooting at this guy, and he dies. Punishes for teamkill.

On Operation Clean Sweep, I see 3 enemy vehicles lined up in a straight line whilst flying the F15. I think awesome target of opportunity so I go in for a bombing run, take out all 3 enemy vehicles but also manage to kill 3 friendlies at the same time. All 3 people punish for teamkill, even though this attack set the enemy back way more than it set us back (they had to travel from 2 check points away, whilst my guys only had to travel from 1).

Add on top of that the people who seem to score headshots with SMG's every time, and people who are strangly capable of hitting a single troop with a short burst of fire from a jet passing over head at 1000 km/hour, it makes the game pretty much unplayable.

I'm usually the last person to call hacks, but when someone is standing out in the middle of a street, and I open fire on them, and they instantly turn to me, go prone and headshot me, its awefully suspicious. They take literally milliseconds to take me out, when multiple bursts from any weapon I currently have unlocked barely seems to scratch them.

If BF2 was my first Battlefield game experience, I would definitely be turned off buying BF3.

If it was on games.on.net then yes submit a TMR, (as quoted above) or contact us through IRC -Here-

If your on GA I don't think they have many rules if any, games today seem to be open slather on how to annoy other players, also with the punish system it doesn't work like it use to in the early days and it's also back to front even if you forgive it shows on screen as a punish some stupid setting screwed up in last patch or the one before it not sure, or it could even be a server setting as well.

Tard play is across all game types not just the BF series if there were no cheaters and tards admins wouldn't be needed. ;)

The most you can do nowadays is to just try and play as hard as it can be at times. :(

Well I've been doing 2 things recently.

Firstly, if I keep getting headshot by people with guns which are usually hard to headshot with in a matter of miliseconds, I start up Playclaw and do everything I can do make shots as difficult as possible.

The other night on GameArena I got headshot. Fair enough.

Then I spawned at INSTANTLY after spawning I got headshot again. Understandable if they know where the spawn locations are, lucky guess.

Then when I spawned again I started running directly to cover incase they saw me spawn, head shot whilst sprinting to cover.

Then I spawned at another location on the map and started to run back to the fight, headshot. Didn't even see where it came from.

Then I deliberately went out in the open and sprinted around in circles, jumped, zig-zagged - HEADSHOT.

I kept doing this until they started missing shots, and all of a sudden they couldn't hit me to save their life.

Funny how when it's obvious that I'm trying to get shot, they couldn't hit me, probably because they realised I was recording and wanted to collect more evidence.

When I stopped trying to get shot and started playing seriously again, HEADSHOT.

Sorry but no one's that good.

The second thing I do is when greifers/idiots/obvious hackers ruin the game, I quit.

I seriously can't be bothered playing with tards anymore.

When a match of BF2 is starting, and some retard hops into the transport chopper and can barely get the thing off the ground without crash, I just quit.

Same thing applies to jets/attack choppers.

BF2 is the kind of game where opening moves are extremely important.

1 player has the incredible ability to screw the game up for every, and its strange too because when someone is an obvious greifer/idiot (and on rare occasions, hacker) no one wants to kick them.

I guess the BF2 community is just full of complete retards.

If it was on Games.On.Net servers then, as Slayer said, submit a TMR.
Hackers in a game that's nearly six years old and that hasn't been updated in nearly two years shouldn't really be that surprising. Nor should freakishly good players who can do things that look like hacking.

Try Battlefield Play4Free instead?

Tried mods like Project Reality or Forgotten Hope 2?

They're not entirely devoid of 'wankers' (no game or mod is) but have far less due to their niche factor, teamwork emphasis and relatively 'tight knit' communities. Disruptive players stand out instantly and if they're banned it matters a lot more.

There is a die hard Aussie player base for both mods, but as usual the majority of players are overseas. Which isn't necessarily an issue unless you're particularly fussy about ping, Lately I've been playing on full 116 player PR and FH2 servers in Finnland with 400ms which doesn't bother me at all (the packed US servers are around half that). There's still a 64 player Australian PR server that is regularly populated in the evenings, 2 were filled immediately after the latest release.

They are unranked and play quite differently to vanilla BF2 but in a way that's how they 'filter out' the types of players you complain about.

I installed BF2 last year sometime to have another go at it since it had been a while, I quit after an hour of being killed by what must be the worlds best PC Pilots.. pinpoint precision :roll:

That's not necessarily suspicious, as it is ridiculously easy to bomb things in vanilla BF2.

Reminds me of a guy who tried the PR mod and started in a training server. I kept lazing his AA tank at long distance without his knowledge allowing my team's pilot to bomb right on him from a safe altitude. Because the new guy had no clue why he kept getting precision bombed without even seeing the jet on his HUD he immediately assumed that aircraft in PR were cheap and before I could explain it he rage quit. Without our air-ground coordination my teammate wouldn't of been able to bomb accurately at all and probably would of got quickly shot down trying to find and strafe the guy instead.

My cool story isn't really about suspicion of cheating and is kind of the opposite case of vanilla BF2 (which I would argue has very cheap jets), but is an example of an incorrect assumption or impression which probably resulted in a 'rage uninstall'.

BTW lazing in PR and watching the payoff is great, here's a video:

Downloading Project Reality Mod now.

And I know what people are saying about precision targetting with the jets in BF2.

If you have a good commander, they can put an attack way point DIRECTLY on an enemies position, which can be seen from like 400 m above - well out of draw distance. So you can just line up your jet with the attack waypoint and open fire, and you can start shooting before the enemy can even see you.

Don't let being a beginner at the game put you off when you first start playing. The game is so worthwhile if you make it past the initial shock of the different, slower paced tempo.

The main Aussie PR server is currently packed :)

Even more so with 116 players and 8 man squads.

Battle for Muttrah (based closely off a real city in Oman):



Non-english speaking guy lazing on Kashan:



Forgotten Hope 2 also has it's own 116 player test server, 128 or more is possible but most servers don't have good enough CPUs for it yet. Squads can also be larger than 8, FH2 had 12 member ones although I think currently they've got it at 10.

Desert tank warfare on Supercharge:

Indeed, the beyond-line-of-sight 3D marker method was used a bit in PR as well however they've recently changed it so you only see it within a certain distance now. If you're beyond that distance the target/objective is shown on your compass as a 2D arrow.

I went to go try these mods fairly recently and reinstall BF2. It won't work on Win 7 64 bit though. It did, but whenever I apply the latest patch it won't even start up :(

BF2 works on W7Ux64 it runs on mine, I'd try deleting the profile or just the video.con file in the active profile, or it may be just a driver glitch not sure can't really say of the top of my head, I'm sure someone will come up with the fix for you.
