Hi all! First post
Questions...
Just started playin BF2 a week ago, I have BF2, Spec Forces and the Collection which has Armored Fury and Euro Forces. Why can't I access any of the new maps in singleplayer, or find them online at all? I'd really like to see the USA maps and try out the new vehicals, specifically the A-10!
Rank: I didnt get ranked until I hit 300, then again at 600... when every internet site says 150 is first and 300 is second. ummm... anyone have an updated list if they changed it?
What on EARTH is with the sniper rifles in this game??? After a weeks play I got the hang of the M24, can get a 1 shot kill pretty often with it at decent range, the semiauto (forget the name? think its supposed to be a druganov) is just a inantry wrecker, you can go through whole squads with it! But before I got used to it, I couldnt hit shit with either of em! What REALLY pissed me off was this 2 shot arcade shooter BS. Granted body armour can stop a .308 winchester from penetrating, it sure as hell wont allow for the victem to be mobile! If they arent wearing body armour, it should be an instant kill for torso AND head shots, not just the latter.
That brings me to me the next phase... I just unlocked the 2 otehr sniper rifles when I ranked up. what is different about the euro rifle?? in real life, shouldnt it be a .338 lapua magnum? that penetrates body armour at 1500 yards, it seems to be EXACTLY the same as the M24?? and why the hell arent any of the scopes higher then 5x???
And the .50... what.... on.... earth. the bmg round is a KILLER.... it seems to be a wimp in BF2! body armour or not, even a lvl4 vest with ceramic plates isnt taking a 50bmg under a 1000 yards, and this SHOULD be accurate enough to hit a man sized target at 2000 yards, yet it seems LESS accurate then the shitty M24, which seems to be spot on in BF2 when you get the aim zone down! my biggest issue other then it not taking down people in a single shot, is where oh WHERE do you aim with this rifle?? ive literally emptied mags at people dead center mass at 100 yards or less without killing them, and i cant seem to hit ANYTHING other then blind luck, when i do get a hit, a repeat shot using the same aim point doesnt hit! aim high, low, nodda. it seems like it shoots random numbers at a hit calculator algorithm sometimes!!! i let off 3 yes THREE mags at some dude shooting at me from a technical, head shots, body shots, glass shots, weapon shots, none of them hit and he wasnt goin down. i ended up dying after he had a good 30 seconds of full auto at my PRONE POSITION and i took several hits before i died... LOL... id like to see that happen in real life, my helmet must have been made from 6" of steel plating.
well thats all my gripes, any help would def be appreciated. if someone could post a screen capture of the reticles and the actual aim points for different ranges that would be HOT HOT HOT!
