"Skill Based Flying"

MrVicchio · 2011-07-13, 04:38 PM

I'm sold. Period.

BF2, I ROCKED it in AA and AG combat. Period. If they have a two seater with a WSO to fire weapons, you want to be my WSO. Cause when it comes to Air craft, you just can't touch this.

I love going against silly fools that try to get into circle fights with me. Wanna fly in circles? I can do this. It's called a Yo-Yo and you're dead. Try back and forth flying? Scissors. I'll take you out.

Man, I am really excited now. Must go read more, post less spam.

What... yes, what's that got to do with anything?

That is until I headshot you through the window of your gal.

Find some place for you to spawn I will!

I'm pretty sure glass won't be penetrable. It'd lead to quite a few balance issues.

It was hard to not rock in BF2 planes with no reliable AA to shoot them down

MrVicchio · 2011-07-13, 04:55 PM

Hey I can slog in the mud with the best of ya, but why hoof it when you can streak across the sky raining death on the enemy? It's much more civilized really.

I have the same stick. Going to be interesting deciding how to program out all the features in the game.

I really hope they maintain a VTOL /hover component to the planes. Something like how the F35s work in the battlefield games. Would make formation flying a whole lot easier.

I'm an avid pilot in BF2 myself. I still "pwn noobs" on Wake Island to this day.

Sure any fool could fly around, but lining up on ground targets and hitting them... taking out other A/C without getting blotted out of the sky... flying through the damn upside down while in a dog fight causing the other guy to crash... that's not flying, it's art.

One aspect we don't want from BF2 is how much jets dominated the game, if your team's pilots were worse than the others then you were in for a world of dive bombing and base-rape.
