BF2S Forums The FINAL word on BF2 v1.4 Taunts

taunts were around before 2142 demo so count that out

Taunts have nothing to do with 2142! How the hell can it? how does having the files for 2142 effect Bf2 files? They dont exactly jump from folder to folder and change how it works.

Evidently this is still a new topic for some, so just search for "taunt" or "sinister" and you'll find the big threads about this.  It's just 3 different versions of a mocking/sinister laugh that you can summon on command at a dead enemy.

The sinister laugh/taunts are sound files that are included in the BF 1.4 patch.  So anyone who's using v1.4 can HEAR these taunts when invoked by other players.  Again for emphasis, EVERYONE CAN HEAR THE TAUNTS.  The question is what program installations/registrations allow you to invoke them? And it DOES involve BF2142 in at least a limited way.

Taken from EA's Support site: "The promotional taunt is used in Battlefield 2 but requires that Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 to be installed.  Simply use the Spot command on a dead enemy and the taunt can be heard.  The rules for how often it can be used are governed by the server’s radio spam settings in the same manner as all player messages.  So if you do not hear it every time, this may be the reason why."  -- http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/ph … aqid=14066


Once again, this is something that's been established.

Back to the original question, it appears that EA is possibly mistaken in that players who do NOT have BF2142 installed are in face able to INVOKE the taunts just by registering for the Veteran's program:  http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/b … teran.aspx  (I can't confirm that this is the only pre-requisite).

I heard it the first time yesterday.  It is just a "fuck you" kind of laugh, very faint, very short.  It does sound like it comes over voip or vent, as I thought it was a teamate, but no one was logged in.

I've heard them before..

There is 3 different laughs for the US, chinese, and MEC..

I've heard it before the demo, after I did the veterans thing.

I'v never heard them but would love to....

I got like 20 kills with artillery on the insomnia 365 karkand server and heard it.. lolz

i think you target someone you killed, as if you were doing a "enemy spotted", and then your player laughs. You cant hear it, but people nearby can

I've tried the spotting of dead people, far away, while teabagging, and all I get is a blank.. like nothing happens. It's really annoying when I kill someone far away and another guy is there I try to spot and I cant spot it. It'd be diffrent if I could hear the laugh at least

I've heard that if you try to spot but it's just a "blank" (instead of the normal Q key rose) and you're can't spot that you are invoking the taunt (but you may not be able to hear yourself, just like when you throw medic packs, you don't always hear yourself but others do).

I guess it's just mainstream enough for us to know everything for sure yet.

I have bf2142 ,1.4, qand veterans program. I have been in many tops spots in servers, have had huge scores 64 player servers, been commander and done well. I HAVE NEVER HEARD THESE TAUNTS EVER
