I for one am happy beyond belief ...but the patch is still download so i don't know what it's like

I've heard the chopper drops like a rock, does it or will people still have time to send out a TV missile and regain control?

The chopper drops after about 15 seconds.

which is good, so you can bail out and NOT die from a falling 20 ton hunk of metal....

Someone made a video earlier. Looks like it's still possible... which makes baby jeebus cry.

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Of the few games that I've played with the new patch, I also haven't noticed any changes that have a detrimental affect on doing this.

Thank the lord that it is still possible.

I love solo TV missiling (if missiling is a word....which I doubt it is). Sometimes on a pub server there is just no such thing as a good gunner. Unfortunate...yes...........but reality. So if I can fly, and still have access to the TV missiles, then I somewhat make up for the fact that there is no gunner.

In fact.......I got my best round score of 208 on a Dragon Valley map solo flying/gunning.

Also, I've spawned into games where......*gasp*.......no one is even using the attack chopper. It's just sitting there with no one around it. The TV missile is too good of a weapon to let go to waste.

I can imagine the noobs who want to cap a flag rather than be a pilot for the gunner at 200 feet. I bailed sorry mate! You f'in idiot! I just died in 10 seconds from nothing!

if ea/dice "fixes" solo tving, i will personally find and stab whoever coded the change
theyve wrecked enough cool things like c4 throwing, blackhawk, awards being a challenge to earn, squad hopping, tv missile range, dog fights............
they have to stop caving into the complaints of whiny noobs who cant do the cool things

Sometimes I see people land on the Hotel in Oman, and then fire into the MEC base using it. It gets worse when the MEC chopper is stolen and used for this purpose. It can take out that AA with a nasty boom.

hahaha, i do that. all you need is a supply crate and the MEC chopper will never leave the ground again.

...for some reason people always respawn there hoping to get it though.
