No idea. I'm pretty handy with helicopters in simulators and have a horrible time with the BF2 physics. *shakes fist at EA*

I'm in the same boat as you! I'm an avid FS2004 flyer, infact I've just completed a flight around the coast of Britain in a Cobra without crashing once.

Now, in the same Helo in BF2 I can't keep it in the air long enough to make any sort of attempt on a target. It's more a case of point it in the right direction, roughly at the target and then just unleash all the ammo with fingers crossed. Then crash!

I find the copters on desertcombat far more enjoyable too bf2's tbh, they took a lot of mastering in DC and i found you have far more control over them.

Loved the helicopters in DC there were much more sensitive and so can be manouvered easily compared to bf2 which are sluggish

No it's not needed, but the latest patch is. 1.3 i think rather large download.

MattyH · 6 Jun 2006 at 21:07

Siders77 · 6 Jun 2006 at 21:12

Of course.

deadeyedic30 · 6 Jun 2006 at 21:13

We were all noobies at one point, i still am after four months. I mainly play as a sniper or medic on Karkand or Wake Island, unless i'm in Spec Force in which case it is Mass Destruction.

Heres me, http://bf2s.com/player/65049137/

My mate has a thousand points less than me but way more medals and ribbons.

I can fly them quite easily, i just struggle to hit things Same with the jets.

I came from the first battlefield (desert combat) ah they where the days, where the heli's where much harder to fly than BF2, i love flying a chopper now in BF2 and with the keys no gay joy stick here

I quite like being able to drive and fly anything in this game with just keyboard and mouse.

cant get on the ea website to download the patch so does anyone have any mirrors for it

Azagoth · 6 Jun 2006 at 22:43

You can't get more of a n00b than me! I've had the game nearly a year and only recently got into playing it when I lost my job.

I can fly the heli's quite easily, but if i get in a plane its pretty much guaranteed to be a suicide run :confused:

A year? blimey, dont play much do you?

FirebarUK · 6 Jun 2006 at 23:18

I love AF

The huge open countryside map reminds me of some classic BF1942. Lovely

Lee2k4 · 6 Jun 2006 at 23:26

Great game on AF today, racked up some serious kills with the scout choppers, those things are deadly to infantry. However if you are locked on get the hell out of there, go behind a hill or something because these choppers can't withstand much. Few shots from an FAV takes it down easy.

I liked this shot

So is Armored Fury worth buying?

Without a doubt the best booster pack to date. seems like EA finally wised up. The maps play very good and the air power is not "overkill" the guys that play the AT class will love it, plenty of tanks to kill

No, not with work and the other games I was playing. Between Work, HL2, Guild Wars, FEAR and FS2004 it left very little time for BF2. If you look, I got 99% of my points in the last week!

However, now I'm sans job for a while............................................

i love the new planes, they arent as heavy as people say they are, pretty controllable, and the machiney on the yank one pwns silly.
