FF On

Why do you have FF on your 2142 Server but not on your BF2?

The only reason i ask is when it comes time to blow the Titan Core or consoles and you are chucking Demo Paks around like a man posessed you always seem to get some players that dont move out of the way.

Therefor you can drop 4 or 5 positions or even worse get kicked for tk`s coz you are trying to win the map and other players dont get out of the way.

I used to really enjoy playing on Res server on BF2 and also on BF2142 but the constant threat of getting too many TK`s due to explosives makes me play elsewhere.

I do have to agree..

It makes the whole titan concept a rather un enjoyable experience, as you can't defend with any form of explosive.

As for attacking the titan it is nigh on pointless as you cannot proceed with the objectives without getting 3 or 4 teamkills per a console.

I know in the realism section teamkills would happen - but it takes away the ability to carry out the jobs needed to win the game without hampering your score and killing everyone.

Any chance we could try a change?

i thought demo packs were for demolition not to compensate for lack of shooting skills,yes im still bitter about all the jihad jeeping i suffered today lol

Cheers M,

That'd be good, see what people think... but as we all know from past experience.............Only people that want it turned off will say so and two weeks time we'll be having the discussion of why it was turned off Smile

If everyone wants it left on i suppose i'll live, but the console destroying is just a big no no unless you wanna blow everyone up and we wont even talk about getting to the core when there's ten people all stood around shooting at it Very Happy

LOL

yeh i am talking about Demo Packs for blowing consoles and cores on BF2142 not driving around primed and ready......
Although it is nice to blow players 30ft in the air with a nicley placed demo pack

And thanks Res and Mrix for the feedback Wink

and is FF off on BF2? seems to me theres allways some team mate taking pistol shots at me pecking my life away asking for a headshot,and when my clays are enemy set off with a team mate infront aswel they seem to die no prob,and when im bombers gunner firing wildy i get plenty of TKs just fine,i thought we just had super intelligent mines that can identify team/enemy,but if you caught in the bang you still die,and as for people not getting out the way when your spamming demopaks all around,maybe they thought they were in a good defensive postion and trying to play some of the shooting war thing these fps games seem to be about,and when theres 10 people shooting the core wont it blow up?never acutally seen one myself,i get frustrated trying to get on titans and just done conquests in the 5-6 hours ive played 2142,i personally think intelligent mines are bit suspect,and turning FF off completely is lame

they put demo packs on for a reason - that reason to blow up vehicles and to blow up consoles and titan cores - but you cant do that cause some 2 bit hick x 10 is stood around chucking toothpicks at it while your ready to press your button with the proper tools.. and you press it and kill the lot of them.

It's not about spamming mines about, it's about using them for what they're there for but being unable to do so.

Just think of it like swat trying to breach into a building quickly to rescue hostages - he puts teh breaach charge ont eh door and two fuckers are sat in front of the door trying to pick the lock - yeah it might work, but not the right job for the right situation

but taking the fact that explosives and guns can kill indiscrimatley if not used properly out the game to make one or two instances of destroying objects a bit quicker is a big sacrifice,

Sorry but i can't agree. It should be a big sacrifice - ideally the rest of your team would back off if they saw you laying C$ down but it's a game and you have to allow for people not to do that, but it's bloody annoying and why should someone get punished for doing the objective because people don't want to move - and some people (i admit only the minority, will stand there out of spite.

The only FF switched off in BF2 is the mines. This is also off in 2142. I thought that if you switched off the demo pack it would also switch off other weapons so no-one would get shot either which I think is taking it a bit too far. So, if this is the case, leave it as it is, and I say this as one who has been caught up in the odd titan core blast himself (didn't see the demo packs and I was one of the 'hicks' shooting the core) Laughing
