I can only play about 10 hours a week, so where does that leave me. :(

I think it is fine to play for stats for the first 1000 points, to get a weapon unlock. After that, it is for fun only and the occasional badge in my case. For example, my two attempts at the pistol badge ended in tragic kill to death ratios, which is to be expected with a pistol against tanks and machine guns. :)

And if I get killed by a tank, I spawn there again to take the tank on. It might take three deaths to get the tank, but I still think it is worth the fun to see the tank go.

Aaaah - sweet revenge.

BZFlag had this sweet feature, you could mark a person to "hunt", and when that person is close by, you hear durr du durr du (Like in Jaws), and the closer you get, the faster the sound goes. Now - the thing is that you both hear it, so he/she knows he'z being hunted and it becomes a challenge from both sides. i.e. Hunted to take out the hunter vs opposite.

That could be useful in this game.

I agree. I just like to blow stuff up. There's nothing more satisfying than slapping a pair of C4 packs on a tank or better a fully loaded APC, diving for cover and watching "you killed . . " come up three or more times . . . :)

The Ranks don't bother me at all. It's just more fun when you whack someone and it's a celeb. My highest round ever I did nothing. I rode shotgun (m16 technically) on a BH and watched the world go by.

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.

I saw the option in one of the .con files .. check your My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\<profile number>\Audio.con

There's an option "AudioSettings.setVoipUsePushToTalk 1" -- I assume if you set this to 0 it will be voice activated. It may not work tho.

Stats are meaningless - I can assure you that I don't have any more respect for Sui Generis than any other player.

He's ranked like 30th in the world. All it proves is that he plays too much bf2...

I have way more respect for people who give me a good laugh ingame, or play as good gunners when I'm flying a chopper etc etc.

stoke: that would be pretty awesome. Imagine if a commander could set his whole team to hunt down one poor little pork-chop :D

I had an opportunity the other night... sharqui peninsula, enemy attack chopper was hovering near a flag i spawned at. He didn't see me. Got right underneath him and slapped 2 C4 packs onto him. Ran away, and *kaboom*. VERY satisfying. :D

Read most of this thread (took a while), seems I am in the right place. Will be interesting to see how things go with the next patch, point-farming chopper-hoppers may find they have to earn their creds the good old-fashioned way!
- Anyone know the Telkom ADSL pricing structure for November? Is a BF2 addiction still gonna be possible? ... I can always sell the TV...

November'z still a broken record from my point of view [Can't quite hear what it's playing], I have no idea whatz going to happen.
But in the end, if we cannot afford to play anymore, then we'll suddenly have a lot of people with extra cash [Ex ADSL] in their pockets to spend on WiFi equipment...

Hell you guys are full of good ideas ROFL :D

Say, I don't suppose one gets point for blasting UAV units and artillery. Didn't seem like it was getting me anywhere. They definitely need to fragment the points system. Maybe in patch 1.09 ;)

They say we will start getting points for this in the 1.03 patch.

Tested and works purrfectly.
Only problem is that it keeps picking me up breathing, so I adjust the mike so that I don't breath on it, works cool.
Next problem = breaking the 'B' habbit. I catch myself holding 'B' for no reason whatsoever - HUMANS ! :p

Aaaaw - c'mon - I sorted that out one-time. Unfair I sayz... False accuzations. N.e.wayz - there aren't many women playing, i've only actually heard one, so heavy breathing will just get me frucked up beeg time.

Heres one you should try out: Put a C4 on the window of an empty Blackhawk, prefereably that swamp stage.. When it fills up, detonate it when its over water. The explosion will ONLY kill the driver, so when that happens, itl go tumbling down into the rivers below and BOOM!

Pilot [teamkill] hopper-teamie1
Pilot [teamkill] hopper-teamie2
Pilot [teamkill] hopper-teamie3
Pilot [teamkill] hopper-teamie4

:D

btw, the C4 vanishes when you chuck it on the window ;)
