i dont like how they extended the AA range.  i can no longer see whats locking on to me because of the 350 lock distance.

I like it, now I can kill those bastards firing TV missiles at be from beyond view distance

ur rite.  this patch + autoadmin has made rape impossible.  spawn killing is the only way to dominate now, so beefing the aa made this easier for the ground players.  as a heli whore, i hate it, as infy it's cool.  who cares, its a game ffs.

So let me get this straight, you think that playing CoD4 at a high level is easy?

BF2 is a decent game, but it's ruined by stupid little bugs and lag, something that CoD4 is without for the most part.

You know what CoD4 is also without? Teamwork. Squads. Medics. Decend size maps.

Meh, CoD4 suck.

You never mentioned high level at all, stop trying to put words into my mouth.

I think if anyone who is half capable at gaming put in 600+ hours practise they could play high level cod4 np

Whenever it's me talking about a game, i'll be talking about the competitive side, you should know that :p

And Longbow, CoD4 has never pretended to have big maps, squad based teamwork etc. However, competitive play in CoD4 requires alot of teamwork, communication and way more tactics than BF2.

They're different games, and I like them each for what they offer

of course BF has a shitload of bugs, and lag than COD4. COD4 is of a smaller scale in terms of design compared to BF2. you can do a lot more in BF2 than COD4. that being said, bigger does not always mean better. in my opinion, BF2 is abused way more than COD4. crazy 12 year old admin, spawncamping up the ass, vehicles all over the place just sitting there waiting to pop you in the mellon. etc. there is Spawnkilling in COD4 but its not that apparent.

i understand why DICE is making games like Badcompany 1 and 2. smaller but more managable but keeps the BF theme alive.

AA range has been extended? I didn't realize. I know all the AA locations on all maps (except for boosters, will be added to memory very soon) and TV missile has a range of 450m, which beats the AA. Just check the map to see if it's unmanned or not.

yeah but those mobile AAs are a pain in the ass.  their range was extended as well.  350 is just outside of max draw distance, so if they aren't shooting tracers, you have to hope you see the missles coming.

I agree, that's why mobile AA is priority 1 target, even higher than other attack helis perhpaps, since you only need 1 TV to get a mobile AA, but attack heli battles can take long enough for the AA to shred you with his canons.

No you cant.

They needed to improve it because it sucked, even against novice pilots.  If you know how to flare, its still very easy to stay alive - just if you want the big scores, you have to put in a little effort now.

Chopper users will be pleased to know that swapping to the gunner seat in a chopper still causes loss of missile lock.

This is bullshit though.

High level of CoD4 competition requires tactics, positions, tacnades, alot of calling and knowledge of maps/callnames whereas BF2 does not to the same extent.

Translation: You need to know the map by the book.

Playing by a blue print doesn't seem very tactical to me. But being aware in a huge map and using tactics seems much more fun.
