Do you ever get those times when you cant seem to do anything right in BF2?

I have improved a hell of a lot since i started playing the game and have been getting a lot of gold, silver and bronze medals lately. I was pretty much killing any enemy i saw without them killing me first, either on foot or in armour.

But then i decided about two weeks ago that i would try and help my mate out getting some practice in the choppers so that we could both be effective as either the pilot or the gunner.

Now i have gone back to my roots as an out and out infantry soldier, but i cant seem to do anything right! It is as if i have lost everything which i have gained through the hundreds of hours which i have clocked up over the past months. I constantly getting killing in one on one battles which i would usually win.

To sum it up, i am mince now! i have lost me Mojo!

anyone else have times like these?

I get rounds like that from time to time, either stick it out or just out-think your opponents, try a different approach and keep em guessing. Or just sharpen up again

your not alone.

I get entire days where I play like a total twat. Honestly I think it has something to do with more basics things, such as, how much sleep you have had etc.

Indeed, that's also one way of finding out if someone could be hacking. If they play really well for, say, 45 minutes then start deteriorating, chances are they aren't hacking and it's just natural skill+natural tiring of the reflexes. If they keep playing great for 4 hours in a row, it's probably hacking. I mean PLAYING GREAT though, like headshots every time.

Although I remember I played all day one day and I was unstoppable each time.

oh boy do i know what you are talking about. tonight for example i was having an awesome round as medic, racked up 40-something points through revives and heals, and another 46 in kills.

Next round, i get 17..... i played so crap it wasnt funny. 1v1 - lost everytime. i go to knife a sniper, and i get a puff of smoke, no death, and he turns around and shoots me with the sniper (probly unscoped too knowing my luck)

Depends on your mood.

The day before yesterday for example. Playing Internode Karkand 24/7 absolutely hammering everything. Becuase medic was the class I played all out when I started the game to whore points, and had the most time on it, I've been playing practically medic only to rack up time and go for it as my first expert badge. Using the M16A2, I was racking up ratios around 6-7:1, hell, I was in intense combat for about 15 kills straight with adreneline rushing, I'd take shots at a person in the distance, finally get him, and then flick around and single-triple burst an incoming medic in the face without flinching.

Everything that came near me was instantly dead, grenades were absolute pinpoint and I was having an absolute load of fun.

Then that night, I was in a horrible mood due to work issues, logged into Internode Inf rotation server, noticed The_Heart_Attack, tthf, and mikeshw were playing, so I was like wow, I get to play with people I know on BF2S, sweet. Was against them on Sharqi and I figured things were going alright, got a few nice nades in (<3 mikeshw) and was doing generally ok, not as great as usual but it was still fun and I wasn't too bothered.

Then came Karkand.

I couldn't hit a thing, I could come out on someones blindside, set myself, and I just couldnt time my bursts and would get hammered. For someone that doesn't take the game overly serious, I was cursing on ventrillo, clenching my fists, I was so angry about how badly I was doing, and the bad mood obviously wasn't helping. I ended up with 1-10 and maybe 5 teampoints playing with guys that I want to respect me around here :p

Next morning, "pew pew pew", back in action with 5-1 ratios on foot and getting medals every round. Who knows eh?

Probalby because when you change servers you usually get put on the bum team. Because you are having a bad stint, you have probalby been changing servers a lot. That makes it even worse, even the best players suffer a great handicap when their team is so horrible that you are down to a few spawns. Nobody totally owns four players at once except in exceptional circumstances like a squad walking into a PKM. Continually being on the shitty side will hurt your playing and your moral believe it or not.

Suggestions:
- Play with friends who you know are a good shot and teammate. 2 people can accomplish a lot more then one can.

- Stick it out on a server so that you're team can start winning instead of leaving to another server where you again start on the bum team.

- Things go poorly for everyone. At the start of a round I usually go 0 and 6 trying to get the initial flags all on my own because my team is a bunch of wankers. You then have to burn it off later. Go to places you know are safer and better kills. For example, on Sharqi (my current whore map) don't go to the TV station without a squad, you will die on your own more then it is worth. Only go into the bottom floor of the construction site and work your way up, hopefully with a medic. Going alone is a death-wish without a PKM. Going up the ladders is even worse, everyone and their dog can see you. Everymap has key death points that are easier to defend, and points where the killing is about equal. Sharqi, the best place to get points is near the surveilence post from the alleyway side and the city entrance side. Karkand, simillarly the alleyway area is popular for PKMs and grenades. Around the Hotel is great too, but farther away you have to do more walking for more points. Everymap has key points like these, so learn them or you will foolishly walk in and get slaughtered over and over and over.

- Take the PKM, it packs a wallop, and because you have to prone you will survive most engagements.

- Smaller servers have worse players. If you are a bum you can play there to pick up your stats.

- Larger servers always have a handful of good players. Go there if you want to sharpen your skills. You will notice going from a large server to a small server, how everyone sucks a lot more...you can kill like 15 in a row without even thinking about it. Their aim is just so damn bad!

- Buddying up with a medic will noticeably improve your K as you don't eat deaths as much. Sadly, there are usually like 3/32 medics on the entire team, when there used to be about 20/32 medics rofl. People who take medic now, are usually pretty braindead too, so don't count on them for a revive, it seems to be privates and corporals trying the medic class out now. All the top guns have moved back to engineer whoring vehicles, flying, and of course using the PKM. Claymore whoring sorta died out now, which is thankful, although it was fun.

- Try not to spawn where you know someone is getting raped. Try not to spawn where your team is defending a heavy assault. You will get spawn killed, over and over and over...and over.

Sometimes I'll join a server where I'll emerge with an overall <1 K/D ratio, where every single infantryman on the opposite team is a damned one/two-hit crackshot with every weapon in their arsenal. As much as it galls me, I have to admit that it's nice to be challenged.

Last week I was sniping like a noob somehow for a round...
My accuracy dropped from 56% down to 55%. T.T sad.
However I made it back again.

Not really bothered about picking up my stats, got to a point now in BF2 where i have got most of the veteran badges, and am just really playing for fun now.

Was playing earlier on and think my game has picked up a bit. Anyone fancy a game later on to help me sharpen up?

it will also depend on what server you get on.  sometimes i'll get on a server with some really great players and if they're on the other team then you're in for a long night.

Yeah, everyone has bad days.

Sometimes it's not your fault though, for example.. I don't particularly use the vehicles much, as I prefer to soldier it or snipe.
So, when you go on a server where the other team is essentially collecting all the tanks, apcs etc and grouping together there's little you can do. Although my C4 skills are decent enough to usually sneak up and take a tank and apc out.

And on maps like Karkand i'll forgo sniping altogether and just be a medic, a few days ago I walked away with 30+ kills and (if memory serves) 2 deaths, the veteran knife badge, the gold star and a lot of bruised egos.

Then a day or so after that I was sucking by getting pretty much an even k/d ratio.

I can be having a great BF2 day that suddenly gets shot (literally) straight to hell.  So after 3 rounds of Sharqi where I average a roughly 3-1 K/D on foot, Karkand starts to load.  I think, sweet, more city map groundpounding!  The round starts and I quickly sink to last place with a nice 0-6.  That's when the connection problems start, and that's when I decide to quit while I'm ahead.

Maybe you just play great because your favorite victim is 48?
