Battlefield 2 (PC version) while smokin' weed

[slipknotpsycho]

bf2 rules, not played ant mods yet, will wait till the game gets tiresome.

you can pick the game up cheap, got mine about 2 weeks ago from amazon for £13, luckily the key still works. id never hered of it till my friend calld and pretty much insisted i get it...i dont often buy games (usually download em on bit-torrent) but this one is worth it for the online action.
superb game. i cant play stoned though, i just get my ass kicked lol, up to about half a joint i see improvement, but any more and its all downhill lol

my username is mattx86 if anyone plays regular. i havent got the hang of the squad thing yet, always been playing alone which is starting to be my downfall.

cant belive i almost let this game pass me by, its really good. normally play spec ops or anti tank, sniper occasionally.

yeah, you definately need to squad up... if i'm alone, doing good i can expect to maybe finish the game off with 40-50 points... in a squad, i can easily get 70+ even have got over 100... squads aren't that hard anyways, just play your role... if you're support, pass out ammo, offer supressing fire to bottle neck places while your squad gets ready to move in (say there's a whole in the wall, just start shooting off rounds into that hole so no enemy gets the idea of coming out, they position themselves on the wall at either side of the hole, you stop firing, they file in guns blazing) if you're a medic, revive revive revive... and if you're the only medic, keeping your team alive is priority 1... if you'r ein the thick of enemy territory, i wouldn't even try to find the shooter before reviving.... get him up, and run for cover.... repeat til you're all dead, or the enemy is all gone. sniper, you're a spotter... as you move with your squad try to take high ground so you can spot for enemies... in gun fights, take some relative cover but not far and start picking off enemies... mostly everyone's going to be worrying about your other squad mates with the automatic weapons... leaving you wide open for some close sniping action...

when in a squad, set your leader as your spawn point... and leave it as that... squad leader's job is to position himself near a flag to be captured but out of sight, so his members can keep spawning on him and moving in... he's a mobile spawn point... good leaders stay back, and only fire when support is needed or they're being fired at.... if you're in a squad and the leader is continuously running straight into enemy terroitory, guns blazing, find a new squad :thumbsup: lol... cuz yal ain't gonna do too good....

mostly tho, you just watch your squad members back.. there really is nothign special to know about being in squads... just follow your leader, keep your eyes peeled and work as a team (i.e. you and another member go through a door way, turn the way he doesn't so you can cover both sides, if no one's there turn around and keep following your squad.)

it also helps if you pick one weapon set... after awhile into the match, the sqaud begins to become accustomed to whatever class you are.... you were support but now you changed to spec ops and everyoen's screaming for ammo but you don't have any to give... it can get confusing, but it's worse when there's a couple of medics and they both decide to change class at the same time... the medic is actually the strong point of any squad... the best squad i've been in so far was 5 medics and 1 support...

gotta be in a ranked server, if you ARE in ranked servers, give it time.. it doesn't auto update... i think it updates it's database like every 30 mins-hr...

i can get a rank up, and weapon unlock, but sometimes i can't pick my weapon upgrade for 30mins-hr later....

Yeah, turns out i wasn't playing in ranked servers. I just played an hour long game half an hour ago, and stopped to eat lunch. But now I'm ready for some more.


Oh yeah, one more question for Slipknotpsycho....


If i were to disconnect in the middle of a game, will my points that I earned be thrown out the window, or do i still get them?

[slipknotpsycho]

pretty sure you still get 'em...

but if the team you were on won, i doubt you'd get the double bonus

and damnit, it takes forever to rank up >.< all i care about is getting my 3rd gen sniper rifle... that bitch is baaaaaaaad.... you can still pick people off that are far out of range on the M95 (2nd gen)

bf2.scyther-bladez.com - Battlefield 2 Awards Guide

that site will tell you points needed for the ranks (and any prerequisates it might have) along with how to obtain all medals, badges and ribbons...

can also check your own stats on the site ("BF2 stats" then on the left side put in your name) it's useful because for things like the combat badges where you have to play a certain number of hours, it tells you how many hours you've put into that particular thing, and how much to go...

im definately buying this tomorrow..sounds fun.

ive been playing call of duty 3 on xbox live and i cant get off it. the whole squad deal in bf2 sounds like just what i do in cod. i just yell at people to be a medic or support, and usually cruise around hunting germans unless its capture the flag or headquarters. then its just too crazy and hectic.

You won't regret it, my man. I've been playing it nonstop lately, and I'm starting to get good as a sniper, gotta love that Dragunov!

[halfassedjediknight]

ill have it tonight. anyone wanna get down? haha.

you'd have to come to 'my server'...

not actually mine but it's where i spend most my time.... IO city maps (IO= infantry only, no vheicles... the quickest way to rank up)

oh yeah, the L69A1 is the best sniper rifle that's the 3rd gen one... the only 3rd gen weapon i'm shooting for...

2nd gen spec ops is ok, better then the china's or mec's smg...
2nd gen assault rifle sucks... it's powerful and accurate, but only holds 20 rounds... better then the M16... but china's and mec's 1st gen assault rifles are better overall... haven't used 3rd gen much, but from what i have, it sucks
2nd gen suppport MG is the best out of them all.. the us and mec's support mg are pretty much even... mec's has a smaller clip, slower rate of fire, but a little more accurate then the us's saw249... it has a much larger clip and a much higher rate of fire, but it's less accurate
don't mess with engineer much...
the 2nd gen medic rifle, i don't particularly like.... again, mec's and china's standard assault rifles are better, but the us's medic rifle is single shot or 3 round burst only, and the 2nd gen is fully automatic... so i'd choose the 2nd gen medic rifle over the us standard m16..
2nd gen anti-tank shotgun isn't really much... takes forever to reload... but compared to the basic rifle, i'd choose teh shotgun

Send me the IP for that amazing sounding server, Slipknotpsycho!

BF2Monitor - Player and Server Search

it has 2 reserved spots (that's the number in parantheses next to the number showing how many players are in the server...) i.e. you can only join when it has 61 or less players... doesn't take long... just stick it in your favs, and keep clicking between that server and some random server in your favs to find out when it has 61 or less...

it may take a minute (as in 60 seconds) to get in, but to me it's worth it...

if you notice in regular servers... more than 60% of the time you're killed by vheicles... just cuz you aren't equpied to take them down...

just imagine that all that really stands between you winning a gun fight is skill, aim, and clip load... among a few other smaller factors (such as if it's a squad you're firing on, but you can get very easily lucky and take them all out.. aim for medics first, then go for anyone with an automatic... keep moving so snipers can't get a clear bead on your head...)
