    Ah, sadly, no. I've been accepted to a established team, as things don't seem to be flying too smoothely with those that did sign up for mine.

    Anyone still wanting to join a team though should check out Firewater's post, which is also my new clan. Peace, love, and I'm the best helicopter pilot ever.

    Wow, I was playing Strike at Karkand this morning (3 a.m.) artillery came down on top of me, I cleared three roofs in the resulting explosion.

    Seriously, I have been trying to join a server for 2 hours. And every damn time it's full.

    This game needs more automatic reconnect or a wait in line option for full servers <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    i saw an early gameplay vid and somebody took like 8 hits from an M249 before going down.

    was i correct in losing interest then? or is it still worth a shot somehow?

    Quoted for emphasis. I was just a medic for two rounds on a server, and revived a grand total of 47 people (32 v 32 FTW!).

    Well, that depends... see, sometimes you can HIT the guy, but not actually hit the person. See, there tends to be hitbox lag right now, or something. I've pumped full clips into people with a SAW before they go down, other times I can shoot them once in the foot with my pistol (After they just spawned, so full health) and they die.

    do a search for all servers that are not full, not empty, have 25+ people (or whatever number you like), are ranked, etc, and that should narrow the number of servers. I have never not gotten into my first choice server.

    Kind of silly, really. You can shock a dead guy all you want with a defibrillator and it won't help a bit; you need some sort of electrical activity. If the EKG flatlines they're stone dead, period.

    Defibrillators help people in cardiac arrest - not people who are dying of bullet wounds.

    You can get away with saying that in Team Fortress Classic....but in a game like BF2 where the weapons physics are so "real" no bullet hits where the crosshair was, Im not so sure

    Also: What bugs are people experiencing? Cause I'm not, at all. And my graphics card isn't even supported(5600 256mb version).

    That brings up an interesting question, one thing that kinda annoyed me in the original bf games was having to lead your target to hit them, is that still present now, or is it hitscan?
  • CForresterCForrester P0rk(h0p Join Date: 2002-10-05 Member: 1439Members, Constellation
    It's still like that, but bullets are much faster now, so you have to lead less.

    Sure, that's applicable in a science fiction mod, where one must hypothesize, for instance, whether bullets would pierce an onos stomach and hit the tender marine inside or whether a space station hull could withstand the force of a grenade explosion.

    But when a retail game, designed and coded by professionals, that uses pre-existing technologies with fundamentally established concepts and applications just plain ignores logic, one must question whether or not those professionals did any research at all aside from catching the occasional night owl <i>ER</i> spot.

    But hell, Karmfaec, you're absolutely right.

    Don't know what you're talking about, CWaG.

    I just got 84 kills in a game, with a endscore of 213(300 point game down to 0, with just about equal teams- but this time I was about 40 ahead of the guy behind me. Got me <b>another</b> silver star. Still no bronze(the only one of the three) left to my name.

    Edit: Also, when it comes to jets, you've gotta get the targets relatively close after the tone is on, and if they release flares, it nullifies it, so try and save shots.

    On the topic of 'I didn't do anything' teamkills : BF2s heatseekers will keep homing if they miss their intended target - so if the guy you're firing that missile at dodges it and was chasing a friendly, that friendly now has a Stinger flying up his rear with about 0.2 seconds of warni... kablamm.

    I've had it happen in the demo a ton - circle a MiG on my tail over the essex and some bozo fires the full missilerack while he could just gun the damn thing down. Annoyance factor : Lethal.
