Pack 3 or 4 C4 at his feet when he is standing still sniping or not paying attention. The Force of the blast will launch him into the air and result in suicide due to falling damage. I assume that this hadn't been patched out.

In BC2 there was that map with the huge wind turbine that people'd jack the helicopter and waste getting up there to snipe from I once took the helo and lawnmowered them all with the rotors

If he was an engineer he can swap seats to repair in mid air. You basically became a flying fortress.

Honestly, the Special Forces expansion was the best with the zip lines and grappling hooks and its intro movie . The BF2: Armored Fury/Euro Forces(included with patch 1.5) had some neat maps. afkmacro posted:bunch of loving grognards itt remember old games with rose tinted glasses. BF4 single player was amazing for the amount of bugs it had, I lost count the amount of times I fell though the earth, enemies disappeared, etc..

Hardline looks kind of fun, but I'm sure as gently caress not paying $60 for it. I have battlefield bc 2 vietnam (I think) on xbox, and I don't have live anymore, so rip vietnam. Or did I buy it on pc too? I might have to go check. e: Yeap, got bfbc2 on pc and xbox, only got vietnam for the xbox one KoRMaK fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Feb 10, 2015 |

Yep, this game is still better than BF3 (and probably 4, which is basically the same). Unfortunately, due to poorly-written netcode, playing on servers with >80-ish ping makes you unable to hit a drat thing. Oh well.

This was accurate at the time: http://bf2simulator.ytmnd.com/ I already had BF2 installed so I just played a few rounds an hour ago. Its still fun as it always was. Battlelog.co is pretty cool. To bad SWAT 4 and AvP2 servers bit the dust those were also pretty good FPS's.

Also the Stuka was basically an angry fist of god on that map. ...but that initial party plane clown car adventure was just so much drat fun. Makes me sad I'll never play it again thanks to the Gamespy shutdown

BF1942 blew my tween mind on a 12" crt. made me realize PC was the superior platform. im sure i have some hella rose tinted glasses and it wouldn't hold up as well today but it's worth remembering the BF series used to be really innovative and good instead of terrible

Zzulu posted:so what exactly makes hardline worth 60 dollars Not much, really. It has a few new gamemodes, but they're mostly only so-so. Heist is bad, Hotwire is fun until the moment everyone figured out you can just tote a rocket launcher everywhere. Apart from that it's basically BF4 with all the things that made it unique ripped out but not much new put in to actually make up for it.

Yeah in 1942 most players don't even notice that the drat thing is getting hammered until the critical alarm starts blaring, and by then it's usually too late. Even while sinking they still wander off to find a plane to grab like nothings wrong

Forgotten hope was amazing, it was cool to see the niggles from the vanilla game fixed (Russians/japs having the wrong weapons, tank shell arcs, weapon damage). Pretty much since saving private Ryan I loved WWII , and FH was total WWII porn. Obscure tanks and weapons, such as an stg44 with a scope. FH2 (bf2) was also good, but I always found the bf2 engine a little quirky. I think they still update it to this day, so like project reality you can jump right in.

LookieLoo posted:Are there any games like BF around? I played some Planetside 2 a while back and it was fun, but it didn't really grab me the way BF2 and BC2 did. Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm are kinda similar, in that there are huge maps, a conquest-style gamemode, several player classes, a commander role, and the occasional tank. Though note it's much spergier and somewhat slower paced due to the focus on realism. Especially at the beginning it can be a bit frustrating because you're just gonna get shot out of nowhere a bunch unless you get a feel for the maps, and unfortunately I never really made it out of that stage because the game bluescreens all the time on my machine.
