find a guy who is away from his keyboard and stab him 7 times.

Not like ive done it or anything :unsure:

seriously though, i only stabbed that guy 3 of the 7
That's how I got it, right after TLEF suggested the method. :thumbup:
With all due respect, how is that any less cheesy than playing a knife pistol server?
 
Didn't realize we had so many BF2 players on the board.

Cocheeze

Just wanted yall to recognize the name when I shoot you in the face! :P

What servers does everyone play on? I'm usually on IHOP or Cainslair.
That should be everyone.
holy hell, Cocheese - 441 for best round? Armor whore much?
LOL, I saw that the other day and have no idea where that came from. My best round is 85 i think.The only thing I can think of is that somehow while playing PR (Project Reality mod) it uploaded some stats to the official game servers. PR has it's own scoring system and 400 is about average for that.

Now if I can only figure out what server it was, I can make first sargent by the end of the week! :excited: /jk

 
gg guys. Sorry i ended up on the other team. Also, playing classes you arent good at gets alot harder at night. Plus, my team sucked, so we lost our tank spawn in the first 2 minutes.

I really hate 64 player karkand for that. Makes it almost impossble for the MEC to defend both the hotel and the back island. Any decent US team can run right over them with a little organization.
Got to be a little fun sniping other FBGs though, eh? :rant: :P Mad Cow, I think MadViking said he plays as well, but I don't know his user name. I'll see if he posted it.
yeah, i think i did snipe one of ya out of the gunner seat of a tank. that was quite sweet :boxing:
We certainly made it our goal on TS to give it to you up your tailpipe. :yes: :boxing:
 
I play quite a bit too.

I'm really good at dying !!! :excited:

This is me......

Shoot me when ya see me, EVERY ONE ELSE DOES.

BTW, Any of you get the Aromored Fury expansion pack? Its fun to run the enemy over on the freeway with your jeep.

Dang, let me know when you find it. :excited:
 
I have had the game since release, but have played sparingly. However, last night, I jumped in for an hour or so and had a great time. The graphics look amazing on my home gaming system.

Anyway, I am pretty efficient at FPS games, but I was getting :own3d: all over the place. What are the keys here? Is there a particular class that seems to be better than others? I know there is sort of a rock-paper-scissors that they wanted, but what class tends to dominate more? I would usually end up around the middle of the team in scoring by the end of each round, so not bad since I have not played it in forever, but am wanting to increase my skillz.

TIA

Wow, we have about 10-12 of us that play regularly. :thumbup: I am gonna see if I can figure out how to port BF2 sounds to my cell. I want to answer the phone to "Hit IT!", or maybe Bust her Hymen. :unsure:

it probably isnt, but i wasnt about to just let him sit there while i struggled to get a kinfe badge. When i got mine, i only killed the AFK guy 2 or 3 times. will be on today, but probably not tonight.

For starters, EA didn't threaten to wipe my stats. For finishers, who cares? I had to have that stupid badge for my last promotion, and I tried the legit route for several days with no luck. I sleep fine at night. :banned:
 
I really wish they would lower the rank requirements for 1 more unlock. This march to 20K is killing me. I have all of the badges I need for the higher of the 2 ranks, but still. Started at 8K and am almost at 14K now. :wall:

Just turned in a 130 point round at Karkand. :thumbup:

:banned: Besides, according to the ROE I read, the server is only violating the ROE IF te server forces you to use knife or pistol. You could go into that server and start throwing down C4 and if they kicked you for not using knife or pistol, THEN and only THEN are they violating the ROE.

:cry: I'm working for Seargant Major, 50,000 total points needed :wall: BTW: Does anybody have the Veteran Armor Badge or the Armor Combat Medal??

need 100 hours in armor to qualify for either one...

84 Hours and counting :boxing:

Edit: I see Cooleyo is getting close 93+ hours in a tank

I keep hoping they drop it at some point. It's only 10K more to get Lieutenant. I could understand if the gaps kept getting wider or if they wanted to keep SgtMaj exclusive and give you an option to to the officer ranks instead of SgtMaj.
 
Man have I been itching to join you guys.

I've been pretty damn busy this past week, and I'm out of town starting tomorrow :wall:

I see everyone has been progressing nicely :thumbup:

GS, how do you switch back and forth with the keyboard and joystick? Do you just hop into a plane and use the joystick? Or do you still need to control your speed with the keyboard with the other hand on the stick?

I have the joystick axis setup for pitch and roll in jets. And then joy buttopn one for fire, and button two for switch weapons, and three for alternate. Then I remapped the arrow keys for wasd. I moved flares to right ctrl and afterburners to right shift.

So do you use the joystick all of the time, or just when flying? I think I have adapted OK to just keyboard, but if you can keep the joystick concurrent with the regular keyboard controls, I might give that a try.
 
GS, did you ever come across the reverse axis problem? In other words, turn the stick to the left and the plane goes to the right? I tried everything to correct it and finally said forget it.

Right, I ONLY set the joystick to control just pitch and roll in the Airplane. So when I play Karkand, it's off to the side.On Wake, I might slide the keyboard a little to the right to make room for the Joystick.

So you can set controls to only activate joystick when in a jet? Cool.

Sure in the control.con under My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles there are different sections like:ControlMap.create AirPlayerInputControlMap

ControlMap.create HelicopterPlayerInputControlMap

Each of those sections contain the controls for that type of vehicle. Here's my profile for Helicopter and Jets. I left out some of the stuff, but if you look at the bolded line, to compare.

Under Air Player, I have my Pitch mapping to GameController_0 Axis 1, which is the Y axis in the Jet (X axis is Axis 0). Under Helo, my Pitch mapping is Mouse_0 Axis 1, which is front and back with the mouse. *BUT* Since you can have two "keys" mapped to the same command, I also have Joystick mapped in Helo.

GS, did you ever come across the reverse axis problem? In other words, turn the stick to the left and the plane goes to the right? I tried everything to correct it and finally said forget it.
I did, and I think I figured out how to fix it. Basically, at least in my case, I just pushed the wrong way on the joystick when setting it up, but it can be hard to tell since it just says Axis 1 or Axis 0 and doesn't say left/right/up/down/etc.Go into your control panel, and select alternate control (so you don't mess up the current/regular keyboard controls) and kick in the box for up. Then press the joystick up. It should fill in both the Up and Down boxes with Axis # (0 or 1 probably). Then do the same thing for right, and make sure to press the joystick to the right.

What was happening for me is I would just tap the joystick left/right for the right (or left) control box, figuring that the game would be able to know that right should be right and left should be left, but it can't figure that out. It sets it exactly as you press it.

If you still have your old settings in there, you may try clearing them out and start fresh also. Also check the Invert Mouse checkbox if you want your up/down for your joystick to be inverted. (it won't affect left/right, I checked this when I was trying to figure all this out.)

Thats what worked for me. I hope that long worded explanation helps and makes some sense and helps fix your problem. It makes sense when you are looking at it, but is kinda hard to explain.

-------------

I use a joypad, and it just sits above my keyboard. Once I jump in a heli/jet, I just grab that and fly, no keyboard. I have some of the buttons mapped to flares, afterburner, change weapons, etc., but still need to hit the keyboard if I want a different camera angle or something (which I never do).

 
I tried to play that server, Shawn, but my ping was out of control. My DSL has been giving me crap the last couple of days.

I'm trying for Aerial Service, but its hard. I think yo need to play in a crowded server and be lucky enough to get(keep) the Jet long enough. I tried a less crowded server thinking I would have abetter chance of getting the jet. This is true, but there's also less targets.

How many hours is that award? Aerial is hard because if the other pilots are any good, you are generally shot down very quickly. Seems to me a better map for that would be a huge Zatar Wetlands? Wake is very small and congested by cmoparison and there are craploads of AA all around the island.

it's just 15 minutes and 19 kills. With the Joystick you can avoid being shot down, but you can spend the whole ####### round evading.

I am thinking Wetlands would be a good one then. Maybe even Road Rage. You will die many times, but there are enough aircraft to go around and there are always plenty of targets.

The kills will mostly come from bombing....Wetlands also has Mobile AA :(

The problem with dying, is that each time, given the delay in the spawning of planes, you run the risk of losing the plane. My last round in Wake, I only went 7-0 but I didn't give up the plane until the very end when we lost Airfield and I bailed out to cap the flag back.

 
Hey TLEF316, WTF? Your little bro already in a clan? =BFL=?? He is gonna get some pVVnage for that one.

 
Hey TLEF316, WTF? Your little bro already in a clan? =BFL=?? He is gonna get some pVVnage for that one.
haha, no he isnt in a clan. BFL is just something he made up. When he used to play team fortress classic, he made up a clan named team fortress legends just to get attention. BFL stands for battlefield legends and it isnt real. I havent played with him much lately, but he claims to be much better since getting the first medic unlock. He does a decent job racking up revives and heals, but he cant shoot to save his life.

5 more hours of sniper to go. I think im gonna spend my anti-tank hours commanding because i hate the guns and need the commander hours

 
I hate infantry servers where a couple of wankers jump in tanks and ruin it all. You want to be a good sport and not use tanks, so you use the assault or medic kits, and then come the numbnuts with their tanks and wipe you out repeatedly. I kinda like playing infantry only, but that sucks.

 
tanks i can deal with. Its attack choppers that i cant stand. The good pilots are almost impossible for 1 man (IE me) to bring down, and there is never enough teamwork on a public server. So the guy in gunner seat goes like 45-1 and his team wins by 50 tickets..

Sharqi peninsula is the worst for this. I wish i could fly a chopper. Id be a freaking colonel by now.

A little patience and an AA battery will do wonders. When you see a chopper, try to get a lock on it as far away as possible - as soon as the chaff is let out, get out, 'cause he will be looking for you. Go prone. Wait 3 seconds, jump back in, fire both and he will be dead.
 
seems like every time i get a lock, they just fire the flares and take off. Its a real pain. There really should have been a shoulder mounted AA somewhere in the game.
