Hello Chaps. Have enjoyed reading this thread. Took a while to catch up tho. I play online with my two brothers (Darnit696 & Punky3025) & father (Dukey1947). What a great game :D

Anyone else experience the following problem:

Nuclear plant map/Chinese side/Defending South Flag inside Warehouse.
Having a royal time moving around those crates. Killing off RED tagged peeps and having a go at the odd attacking RED armoured unit rough going but FUN. Suddenly I notice things getting easier.. lots easier. Newbies? Move on towards SW flag. As I come round a container meet a RED tagged unit coming other way. Open fire as he jogs past. Down he goes. He's got a mooi rooi sterretjie on his helmet. What the? SPIES? BLOODY SPIES!

Look up at scrolling thread in time to see something about Drusky tking at flag. Hey thats me :eek: Then I'm rightly kicked from the server. Joined 26 that night got to see eye_suc repeatedly. Unfortunately I was on the wrong end of his chainsaw every time don't know if it was speaking Afrikaans or not but it hurt lol.

Now Darnit said this happened to him but being more observant than me he failed to make a noob of himself.

These days I pay closer attention but hell man! What a bugger up. My dog's colour blind not me :) So then anyone else been conspired against?

Only by full sentences ;) Just kidding man.

I did the same thing in my first round, too much UT2k4 you see. The red tags are always the bad guys. I got team switched halfway through a game, so I started shooting at the "blue" team, I think I lasted all of 20 seconds before I was TKp'd off the server :$ Rule 1: RTFM . . . .

Don't s'pose anyone plays BFVietnam online anymore since BF2's here. Was a good game esp. for learning to fly hueys.

Flying the BF2 BH is verrry interesting. Can pull serious aerial stunts in the them.. like crashing. But seriously, hopped in f2 with Sui_Generis ystrday. He didn't want me there.

Realized this when he started rolling and tumbling the thing in the air SQ'ing "hop out". Ended up asking him to drop me off somewhere, damn nut. He's ranked what? 21st in the world? Phewee! Sui_Generis thats Latin for self made man isn't it.

Curious flight demonstration tho.

Like 1x "killa" tank wh0re last night? :p Were you looking for me or something? ;) Fairly good game though.

I had to play commander, and I just have to rant, will the @#$@$ noobs stop lone wolfing! I've got over 12 guys on my side, but only one squad of 4 and one squad of 2. How the hell are you supposed to co-ordinate an assault like that?

One aspect of this game that's really cool is that the world leaders are not more difficult to kill than the noob's.
I simply love seeing:
McJunk [someweapon] Sui_Generis / Prokie / BFC|Killa / any other "famouse" name.
Makes me snicker inside and say: Yea - Take that mother fluffer. :p
Now is that what makes it so doggone addictive ?

Very true! I got a few gold/silver/bronze medals to prove this...
It appears game time is a huge factor...
This isnt aimed at anybody, just an observation....
huge scores doesnt always mean great play. One round i did 54 kills, while being on the ground, but i didnt get close to number one, who had 5 kills... but was chopper hopping... basically, playing for stats is easy, there are ways to make huge scores... but i chose to play for the squad, even if the squad leader sends me into a suicide mission
i.e. "nrg, take out those 3 tanks with you launcher alone"
I always say yes :D

I say YESSIR ! :p

A: Ever had the dreaded spin ? Last night I tried to spin around and blast my assailants. Easy move, but instead I ended up staring at the ground, and with every mouse move I just spun, still staring at the ground. Had it before, but staring at the sky. I call it the pirouette [Wow - spelled it right first time] move.

B: Doez anybodee know how to setup the VOIP so that it's voice activated ?
Me keeps on being killed while holding 'B'. Seems I loose the ability to shoot while holding a button down.

stoke, its SIR, YESSIR! you should know that!

but i normally go "Yeeeeeehaw!!!" my K/D ration is bad, since i love trying to take out tanks and other big stuff. which take about 2 spawns sometimes. i think it would be interesting to see stats for people who do NOT use vehicles, as in Sui would not be so high there, since all he does is hog planes and tanks. thats how he play, i dont play like that.

have stats for footsoldiers and stats for pilots (2 deaths and 40 kills are not uncommon)

I agree eye suc...
K/D ratio doesnt count that much. THis isnt counterstrike!
if you die 2 times keeping an enemy tank busy while your squad captures a flag and takes out infantry, then you doing your duty!

well its hard to have a good k/d ratio

the only ppl who have a good one is tankers who are only in tank they will have like 10/1 ratio

doob, so you then agree with me that the jump rankings are bull? cause they are all about k/d. what a waste of space! only the tank and plane campers/hoggers will have good k/d while the people who are having fun and contributing to their team have bad k/d...

erm, does that make sense?

well - to me it's all about personal enjoyment.

Them chopper hoppers are having fun, gaining points, and I'm having fun sending a rocket into the open door of a chopper - booom - 5 dead - ROFL ROFL. Get really angry if the rocket flies through the chopper - on one door, out the other - that's annoying, and typically gets you killed.

Notice how few chopper hoppers are surviving now days, and how many AT people there are fully prepared to take out a chopper in 5 seconds. Melikes.

eye suc there system is very flawed because the work on point per minute i think

which a tanker pilot that sort of thing will always be on top, and medics as well

but us anti tankers, engineer,spec ops etc who run around alot wont feature


but even ea games ranking in bfhq is flawed is because the more you play the better rank you will have

i think the bf 1942 ranking system they had was flawed but good much better

I just play for fun, points do not matter to me...

Chopper hopping is fun, esp when the pilot is good.

borrowed from the jump site

Our Rankings Formula - Updated - 23 August 2005

There are four main values that impact the score: Time Played (TP), Kills (KL), Capture Points (CP), Teamwork (TW) and Win vs Loss (WL)

TP = Total Hours Played on a Ranked Server

KL = (Total Kills – Total Deaths - Total Suicides) / TP

CP = ((Captured Capture Points*1.2) + (Capture Assists*1.1) + (Defended Capture*1.1) Points) / TP

TW = (Kill Assists + Heal + Revive + Support + Repair + Driver) / TP

Then to make it a bit more interesting, we bring wins and losses into it as well. We hope this will help people to work together a bit more.

WL = (Total Wins – Total Losses) / TP

Now all our values are relative to the time played, so basically an average point per hour

KL Counts towards 50% of the total score, CP Counts towards 10% of the total score, TW counts towards 30% of the Total score and WL counts towards 10% of the Total score Thus:

KL = KL * 50
CP = CP * 10
TW = TW * 30
WL = WL * 10

Total Score = KL + CP + TW + WL

The one with the highest score is rated number 1 an so on.
From what I see here, K/D is the most important O_O

Second most important is team work, which is bogus as well because of them darned stat padders.

2 flaws in 1 formula. Nice
