Hi, I am new to BF2 (first post) and totally addicted. I’ve followed the forums since I started and had some random thoughts while reading and playing the game.
1. Drop and Roll
Is it really possible to drop and roll or is this just an animation? I have read both sides of this and would like to know. I die quicker than Volx spams nades when I see the enemy hit the deck and roll over. So is this possible by pressing A or D when dropping or is it a visual affect that isn’t physically possible?
2. List of Shortcut Keys
Is there a list of keystrokes that enable you to do things in the game that aren’t documented in the manual? Such as press ‘C’ to remove the nose of the helicopter when you are the gunner so you have larger viewing area.
3. Global Kills List
Maybe this already exists but I would like to see a complete list of all my kills by name to date. We already have our Favorites/Worst lists but I think it would be interesting to see who we've killed the most all-time. For example, if someone killed me 20 times in total I would see jclutch21 (20) on their list. You can certainly own someone IAR but how about all-time. In order to keep the list short, you could only list those you’ve killed five or more times all-time.
4. Administrators
Are admins present on every server? I ask because it seems that most of the ones I play don’t always have active admins or they aren’t worried about people breaking “server rules”. If you own a server, can it run unattended? This isn’t a slam on admins, I am just curious if there is someone watching every player’s actions all the time. I was on one server where the admin paused the game to tell people to abide by the rules or face a kick. This was great although one time it paused while I was moving and the screen went nuts while paused. No big deal but I did like the monitoring.
5. Productivity Rating
We have various individual metrics that tell us how good/bad we are and we can compare ourselves to others in the BF2 community but what metrics could we combine to see a productivity score or an aggregate measure of the efficiency of our play. In other words can we take, for instance, Team + Combat + Commander + Kills + Caps + Assists + Awards – Deaths and arrive at some type of productivity score? When I see my ranking based on Global points, I can tell that I have more service time and subsequently more badges and ribbons compared to other similar Global scores but does that make me a better player? I am just throwing out ideas to gauge overall game play as opposed to looking solely at the Global Score.
Feel free to rate my stats.
Thanks for your time.
