Battlefield 2

[Megashrap]

I also have no prob snatching a jet for the sole purpose of getting to land in a hurry, ditch n chute style.  ;D Also, has anyone ever tried turning an f-16 into a cruise missle yet? It worked out nice once for me on Wake Island. I put all my c4 on the nose, then made a bee line to thier main base, after I saw on radar there were a group huddled at the flag there I went high, then dove towards them, bailed out landed and detonated just at the right time. Damn I wish I coulda made a little movie outta that it was sweet.

[erjin999]

Dang, now there is a novel idea ! Hehe, how did you get enough time to land before the plane crashed ?

I imagine you cant trigger the C4 before landing, like you cant shoot. Still, shame you couldnt record that stuff.

[Megashrap]

I only managed to do it once so far on that map but dang it was cool when it worked. What made it work was the path I took the stretch of island leading to the enemy airfield, bailed and hit the chute right swhen I was practically at the ground then watched the jet finish heading to the spot then boom, just as it was going to explode. Still nice to know it can work.

[Acriku]

You can shoot while parachuting down, I've done it many times (although it's hard to stay focused on the guy). At least in SOps you can, I'm not sure about original bf2.

[erjin999]

I dont think you can, you can only aim your 'chute (and damn do I aim it well :P).

[Acriku]

Believe me, I've shot my GL at people on the ground while I'm coming down. It's been done. But again, this is in Spec Ops that I've done this, maybe not the original.

[gunner154]

Just nit-picking a bit. The expansion is called Special Forces, not Special Ops ;)

Yes, you CAN shoot while on a parashoot. Your aiming is limited though. You can't twist while on the parachute like 360 degrees to shoot something else. But what I'm curious is, can you control your landing with the parachute, like where to aim, or how control of the parachute works?

Oh, and since people in the backseat of a transport chopper can use their normal weapons, like engineers with their wrenches, a Spec Ops up there can blow the thing well. If only you could use your weapons while in a JET.

I read somewhere that if you die as a Spec Ops with some C4s lying around, and someone happens to pick up your kit, he can still detonate your C4s. Never got to verify it, though.

[Acriku]

You got me on the name, it might've confused people haha. I can control my landin with the parachute fairly decent, you just hit left or right (pulling on the cords to your left or right) to glide to your destination. In the map where you can spawn in the air and parachute down, I usually aim for the rooftops and pick off who I can.

Speaking of parachuting, I was in this jet as a passenger and the guy was going vertical for some reason and I realized he jumped out and I was just climbing altitude alone, so I bailed and parachuted and it took me literally a couple minutes before I touched gruond. I earned my airborne ribbon or whatever for a sustained parachute jump. It was great just floating forever lol.

That's an interesting theory on the C4. I'll have to try it out.

[Megashrap]

I know what you mean, I love taking a jet full throttle straight up skyward till it almost stalls. Then bail hit the chute and as i'm floating down hit the C key a few times to change the views. It's like a virtual skydive, I love it.

[erjin999]

The C4 certainly stays there. You are right about being able to shoot on parachute. I remember now.

I had a git flying me around once, he jumped out after a bit, as we neared the edge of the map. That was before I realised I could change seats in a vehicle. I heard the guy talking about going awol, noticed I had no pilot, cursed a bit, bailed, and after a bit, died a  painful death.  :(

I take it the map where you spawn in the air is a SF map ?

[Megashrap]

Yea like a nighttime insertion via air drop it's pretty cool.

Graphics =>    TWO PCI-E Nvidia 7800 GTX in DUAL SLI mode.  (OMG over 48 pixel pipelines)

hi, is that  a 256 mb  eatch?? or 512mb  eatch?? per vga.. i mean the total vga memory is 512 or

1G ??

because i saw at nvidia web  a 7800 gtx  with 512mb  so why put tow  256mb cards when u can put 1 ??

[erjin999]

2 processors ?

[thesnake]

what? am talking about the veido card.. did i say processor?? what do you mean nunu?

i was just browsing  nvidia and i find this new  massive vedio card 7800 gtx 512b... lol

for 800$  (more than all my pc cost me) so i was wondering why use the sli socket with tow 256mb vga  when u can put this card instead!!

[erjin999]

The graphics card has a processor too. Thats how it processes the data it gets from its own ram and from the game.

Its a floating point processor. Or was when I last looked. God knows exactly what they are now. More commonly referred to as GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) as opposed to the CPU (Central Processing Unit).

:)

So two processors will be better then one processor and twice the RAM. At least thats what i believe the benifit will be.

[thesnake]

you are saying his getting 2 vga  512 ram  eatch??? with total of 1G  just for the vga??

if not he wont be getting towice the ram because the card am talking about is 512mb alone = 2 (256mn) cards  and i guess its processor will ecual the 2 other casrds processors olso but it wont

need the sli  terminal.

[erjin999]

ok spicy, I am going to try to use less words and more statements to describe what I mean:

Normal card:- xMB RAM, 1 x processor

Your card:- 2xMB RAM, 1 Processor

Now basically the difference is the double ram on "Your Card". So if your card has 512, it is twice the RAM of Normal Card.

Now, the advantage of having two Normal cards over one Your Card:-

2 x Normal Card:- 2xMB RAM, 2 x processor

Compared to Your card, you now have 2 processors not one.

because i saw at nvidia web  a 7800 gtx  with 512mb  so why put tow  256mb cards when u can put 1 ??

This is where I am getting the difference between Your Card and Normal Card. I am simply answering this question you posed here. Why get 2 x 256 when you can get 1 x 512. My answer, double the processors.

Hope that is easier to understand.

I dont know what he is saying, by the way, as I cant even remember what he said, just that he was getting two cards.

[GUNWOUNDS]

erjin is correct.

i am getting 2 x  256MB 7800 cards.

they are more powerful than one 512MB 7800.

a  video card has two parts....  RAM and GPU.

it is better to have double RAM AND double GPU than to ONLY have double RAM.

understand?

[erjin999]

Somehow its not fair that it took me so much effort to say the same thing  ::)

Rigel, are you on XFire ?

[rigel6669]

Yes i also use xfire, only playing on saturday and sunday tho

Any clue on what map it is easier to get the knife or pistol badge, or some usefull hints

Still have to earn those  :O

[Acriku]

Close quarters for knife, is best. I would say strike at karkand. For pistol, hmm that depends if you like to snipe with your pistol or go head on. Hell, strike at kirkand is good for both.

[Cybopache]

I Think it`s best to go as sniper, cause you

make less noise.Any way it`s two hard badges to acheive(?).

Is there any one who can give a short tutorial about aiming ?

I can stand nearly so close I can smell the breath of my opponent, and fire at him but he kill me first. I thow my self down on ground reght click, and see his un shaven beard, and emptying my magasin (At his torso /head), but still he kill me ?

I look you up on Sunday then  ::)hottie.

and Gunny, I would like to apply for an appointment for TS? 8)

A far as aiming goes, and I will only speak for myself here cause everyone has a different technique i'm sure.  All guns (except sniper rifle) that are set on auto-fire always has a recoil effect of raising upwards. If the guy is running in your direction, aim for the legs in auto-fire mode,he'll  go down. Theres a little thing I do with the mouse when say a guy is prone, if i'm usuing full auto fire on him I don't let the recoil go anywhere, like raising up I mean. Its like this, While i'm emptying a clip on him or however many it takes hehe, I keep kinda pushing my mouse down a little, as in moving it southward to counter the gun recoil if you get what i'm saying. another good rule o thumb is get good and practice with all you machine guns set to semi not fully auto, your 10 times more apt to get a direct hit that way and kill (for me anyway) than fully auto.

Now for sniping, a 1 shot kill is just aim for the face thats it. The face is just plain easier to make out and is a lighter target that the top of the head. You'll get better just keep practicing.

[erjin999]

Nicely quoted scar, I couldnt have done it better myself ! :P

AS for aiming, it might not be your aim, but the Kit and gun you have compared to them. Many many times I have unloaded more fire into the enemies body, but he simply has a better gun which does more ddamage. He may also have slightly more armour (some kits give more armour).

[Megashrap]

LOl, it was pretty wasen't it?
