Pluses: Can save flags, can destroy armor, stops the enemy performing mass attacks

Negatives: Stops you capturing flags when you've taken out everyone there and deserve to. Any large, army-size teamwork gets destroyed by artillery. Baseraping and trapping enemies inside a last base is also possible. Teamkills often happen.






Personally I think it should be eliminated (or at least a server option). The amount of teamkilling, baseraping and work destroyed by artillery is ridiculous. Patch 1.3 roughly doubled the recharge time, which helped a lot, but it still needs to go. On smaller maps such as SF ones, the Artillery cover area is huge. On maps with jets, if 2 jets and a commander concentrate on a single target the target has no hope whatsoever.

For those who say that commanders need something to shoot with, a pair of laser or TV guided missiles that were shot from the UAV would be a much better idea, allowing a good commander to take out at most two tanks to support his team.

I have no issues with artillery.  If it is coming down, get to cover.  Also, a dedicated spec ops can keep the artillery down indefinately, which should be included in any team-scaled co-operation.

Just remove artillery completely.  I couldn't begin to explain how frustrating it is to be the last player on your team, open clear area (no armor, helicopters, infantry, etc.), two seconds away from capping the flag, and

BAAAAAAAAMMMM!

Then your team sucks ass and maybe you should find a different server?

Or you could be proud that you almost capped the flag, and you did better then the other 31 dead shitheads on your team.

Sure lets make it even harder for the Armor on Karkand, or on Wake
Damn, why does everthing when it kills you, be removed?
Go play UT if you don't like Artillery
Sorry man, but damn.. stop the whining about remove this, nerf this, nerf that, remove that, add this,

And U say let the Commander have a tv missle on the UAV
This will mean massive Commander Hogging
And even worse, commander will stop concentrating on actual commanding, and start blasting away..
No thnx

Another bright idea! *Lightbulb* Remove Talon from these here forums. That's not against the R.O.E.

Notied Anti-Tank is your second least played kit.

Also you might want to try playing maps other than Karkand, where it takes more than 5 seconds to find someone. Try driving across Dragon Valley to cap a flag, and getting artied.

Funny how all the arty likers have Karkand as most played map...

@blackhawk: Never complained about that. They should have just made the other choppers better...

It should be a server option.

That would be good,people could choose which one they wanted.

Why does it matter that he doesn't play AT alot? How is that relevant?

If you drive across dragon valley to cap a flag and get artied, you need to find a better place to cap the flag. I've survived countless arty strikes with a little thing called intelligence.

And here come the comprimisers...

At this point everything should be a server option Shitty guns, shitty helis and shitty noob players. *Check*

@ Talon, you might want to STFU, since resent days I've only played AT and Assault, And have been playing SF

And even so, in Karkand, out of the 350 hours
I've only played maybe 50 hours in armor, and at most 50 hours as commander,

No, but deaths by arty should not count.

EDIT: ticket lost for the team anyway, but should not count in the personal kd ratio

If that's the case, I'm always on the team that "sucks ass".  Anyhow, that's just my opinion, and I think you made it clear yours is different.

Why can't people just deal with it? You all think your so fucking important that game devs are going to remove a big part of the experience out just for you.

Go jack off or something, you all stain the bf2 community.

I'm not flaming you, I'm saying you should look for a better team that doesn't lose.

And still, be proud because of your constant membership on the "bad" team you stay alive the longest. GG.

They should just limit it to two to three uses per round. I think that would be a good compromise.

That would mean that the Arty would still be useless,

did u know that the arty was there for a reason? To like stop massive attacks and protect flags, and off course attack them

Well, picture this, u have used the arty 3 times allready to stop the massive attacks on Karkand, (just to use as an example, since of the massive attacks there) Now u got a stupid team which doesnt want to listen to ur orders and only defends the hotel,
Now u do a scan, and find a Humvee heading for Suburbs,
Ur team doesnt listen to you, and you cant arty it,
We lost control of Suburbs outpost
The enemy has taken control of Suburbs

Damn, and another flag is gone,
Next up Train Accident

Get the point?
