These changes are to stop macro uses, and cheaters, if it dose that the leave the changes alone.

Allot of people talk about skill, OK there is skill involved, thinking about your next move, wheres the enemy, when in the arty going to fall.
That's all using your head and teamwork to win a round. But don't tell me that pressing space bar and z really fast is skill. Its called reflexes.

Also, to all the people that think skill comes in the form of an AHK file, your wrong, also having a really good hit-reg is not skill, its you being a luck bastard. If you can take the m11 and kill a whole squad without leaving the ground, then IL call you skilled, but not jump shoot, jump shoot, That's just reflexes.


I would put money on it, that alot of the "SKILLED" players, heli, i/o, are macro users, and if the delay can stop a hotkey working then im all for it.

I can pretty confidently tell you that macros would offer absolutely no advantage on IO. The movment in bf2 is so slow absolutely nobody would need a macro for anything

That's like saying pro CS gamers aren't "skilled" because they have crazy reflexes and hand-eye coordination.



Those two skill-sets are the staple of FPS gaming.

Also, who has prone set to the Z key? Honestly.

Macros are at best an unfair disadvantage, and at worst outright cheating.  If EA/DICE wanted them in the game, they've have added them to the game.  They haven't - in fact, they've taken steps to limit their utility- so its clear what their intentions are; they don't want macros.

That is exactly why they marketed G15 in their BF2 boxes? And only added PB Restriction level 2 settings that block autohotkey (along with many mouse/keyboard drivers and for example running BF2 through steam and other moronic shit.) a while ago?

pressing a button which flips you to the gunner seat, fires a TV missile and angles it up in line with the chopper's line of sight

Pressing F2 and Left mouse button does not require a macro ffs, and the pilot-gunner angle differences are only slight and easily learned. Then again in your case calling someone for macros seems like a way of ranting about players that are better than you.
