Ah, you're right there, they SHOULD have to set up tripwires or a reflector, or have the trip radius nerfed.Chaotic42 wrote:
Sorry, I mis-spoke (or typed, I suppose). I said blast radius, but I meant trip radius. I'm not a fan of the blast radius, don't get me wrong, but the trip radius is too large. Is it realistic? Maybe, I don't know. BF2 has never been about realism.Skorpy-chan wrote:
Do you even know what a claymore IS? Go wiki it; it's a spread blast of ball bearings and other shrapnel propelled by plastic explosive.Chaotic42 wrote:
The 450 foot blast radius on the claymores. I mean seriously, you can walk one one side of a road and have a claymore on the other side kill you. They should be contact only.
Though really, they shouldn't be in the game at all; I'm pretty sure they're banned under the geneva convention...
I won't lie, I've used them quite effectively, but I'd give all those kills back twice over if the trip radius were contact only (or if the snipers had to put down trip wires).
PKM is a bullshit reason? Why not the AK-101 while you're at it? Or the L96? The PKM fires rounds like the other guns and is a equally fair reason to be killed, every weapon has its strong and weak points, the PKM too.Dr_3V|L wrote:
Right, being killed. It's stupid, 3/4 of the times you get killed its because of a bullshit reason. (read: claymores, PKM, grenades... and spawnkillers)
The PKM more than others, in fact. Low ROF, only accurate over 5 feet when prone, horrific deviation per shot.
Definitely, I experience the same problem with the sniper rifles from time to time.Fenix14 wrote:

And choppers, I hate choppers, why can't they leave me and my walking ass on the ground alone?!straz_mataz wrote:

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
Hmm, I really don't mind any tactics, even the unfair ones like spawnkilling.
The two things that are annoying are when you have obviously peppered someone with enough bullets to take down a T-Rex with ten inch thick body armour, and instead of dying, they turn around and ohko you.
That and how sometimes (about one in six times for me) you can stab someone, see the dust come out to indicate a hit, and they don't die. Even when you're both prone and they're not looking at you.

In BF2 the thing that Irks me most is: people calling names at each other, or even cursing at each other.
And my own horrific aiming .
And commanders that are liberally throwing Artillery strikes around, but fail to respond to vehicle, supply or RPV requests.

Bad hit reg
nOOb medics who after watching you get pulverized by an enemy squad comes running over to revive you so you can be shot once more. Then they do it again because that same same sqaud was zero'ed in on me again and left him alone. Then they run away looking for someone else to revive. Speaking of reviving, I also hate it when you get shot and you take your hands off your mouse and keyboard to scratch yourself or take a swig of your favorite beverage of choice then get revived again. But the nOOb medic thing is the worse.
Surprised no one has mentioned yet -
All the TKing for choppers / jets because
they are so much BETTER + OWN those vehicles.
Chumps that stand on runways forcing TK. Why not register as a suicide ?
Not enough servers - especially for SF / AF / EF
After over year of play - nice to have other official Ranked maps.
* bonus - remember 1.3 crashes

Bunny Hoppers
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
Bunny hoppers, bad hit reg, hackers who spam the server with cartillery or crate-tillary and make everyone lag horribly (I specially hate it when I'm in the Mec chopper with a good pilot and we're raping the other team), Hackers who use artillery, the reload glitch on the TOW and AA, the reload glitch on normal firearms, reload glitch on choppers, missiles going through whatever you were shooting at, the fact that some guns will need more than 2 head shots to kill you like a DAO12 or M4A1 rifle, Aimbotters, little kids who accuse you of hacking just because you killed them, guys who say 'own, pwn' pwned, owned, etc' just because they killed you or have killed you no more than 2 times, guys who call you a grenade launcher noob just because you killed him with one, being the ONLY one hit by artillery after being surrounded by teammates during the barrage.
mine is people that know absolutely nothing about flying choppers/jets (keep crashing,ramming, cant kill a thing...) hogging the choppers and the jets (wasting them) on ranked servers
clever idea for a thread. +1!
how about when climbing out of a tank parked by a wall kills you. or when i hit somebody twice with the AK switch to pistol, hit them twice with that, and then get one shotted by their f2000. or how about claymores. or pouring round after round of 0.50 cal into a chopper for 3 seconds before a teammate hops in and drives me away. actually everything irks me about bf2 but whatever.

The only thing that irks me in BF2 are claymores and grenades.
Yeah, those TK-for-jet/chopper tards are annoying as well.
Just the other day I was on the carrier on wake, and I went over to where the chopper spawns. But there were two guys already there, and they TK'ed me. I wasn't even near them, and the idiots immediately shot me in the head with the M95.
I respawned, then I was thinking of going over again, but the guy had his sniper train on me, so I backed off. The chopper spawned, they got in it, and then out of annoyance I ran over to the essex gun and proceeded to blow the sh*t out of them. Two TKs for me.
Then they respawned, and started throwing grenades at me. Someone should have told them that when you're planning on killing someone, make sure you're not in clear view of their warship mounted minigun that fires explosive tipped shells .
Two more TKs for me, and I got kicked. Worth it, though.

'Tards and dumbarses (see: above), main bugs like Hitreg/varying day-by-day accuracy (making the game shit you because you're always 'this gun worked yesterday, wtf').
Then there's the little things. Two of the things that piss me off everytime I play it is 'fighting zoom' and 'fighting firerate'.
I'm one of those people that, you know, zooms to get accuracy instead of just spraying (which annoyingly still works). This game likes to go 'Yes. No, no. No, yes. No... um... I forgot, just be dead. Ah that's better'.
I also change firerate for accuracy and so I don't waste bullets. Its 'Click, click. BURST! Click, click. BURST!'. Yes it switches it twice if you try to shoot too soon. Listen carefully.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
I was thinking of that, but I have given up on trying to get choppers or jets while playing online. I like fast paced action and sometimes it gets pretty boring bouncing around the carrier decks watching some idiot c4 himself and waiting for choppers/jets.XISIX wrote:

Excessive bunny hopping. A few times is okay until you spot the enemy, but doing it until you get your noob toob out and shoot it at your feet to kill the enemy is one of the most annoying things in this game.
Claymore whores. I don't mind claymores at all, it's the spamming that is annoying. When I'm in the palace, I do NOT want to worry about some jihadding idiot that made a beeline to put a few claymores out in the hallway. A well placed claymore, for the purpose of protecting the sniper, I do not mind.
Temakillers / those who force teamkills. Usually (unfortunately) it's a high ranking officer who thinks he has sole possession of a plane or chopper. I'm tired of getting a shotgun shell in the back of my head for trying to get in a jet, or some Colonel who launches an AT rocket at the plane just as I'm making a run for it. I was there first, Private.
The Sniper zoom glitch. The one where it zooms, then glitches back out. Annoying when you have an SVD and an enemy bastard ten meters in front of you, full force with his F2000 GL!
Oh, and one last thing - FF=OFF. Worst idea ever.
Now, having said all of that, I love this damn game!

Thank god i thought i was the only one that has suffered the above. Really annoying because when it happens your nothing more than an AI bot in the game.Cheez wrote:

Two things that makes me want to jab a pen in my left eye ball: Going to get urself some ammo from a support kit. Pick it up, boom CTD..ghey. You get yourself into position to TV a chopper and you get a perfect shot off. You guide the missile right at the chopper and it goes through the cockpit and nothing happens..ghey.
