I feel sorry for you poor chopper whores.. Not even 1 overheat cycle! Shame about the C4. The additional noob tube footage is interesting - not sure I like all the aspects of it.

Interesting enough that I thought it deserved its own thread.

Okay so what did they do to the C4, looks like you can throw it farther?

Changing the damage model on the choppers is sure going to change things. Maybe now jets will be able to shoot them down easier.

You know that whole can't jump and fire thing? Looks like it didn't work too well... And it does look like the C4 goes further.. Yay for super grenades!

Another video (not patient enough to upload it here) showing some more noob tube usage.. Rather disappointing.

But, a response from a DICE employee involved in that video:

Just one of many things gotten from this playtest of an ALPHA build of the 1.2 patch was that not enough was done to deter abuse of the GL. It has already changed, it may change again, and any video you see is inaccurate until the patch goes live.

We'll see. But, regardless, it's still fun to see the development

Cant download any of those because an annoying pop up that doesnt go away is blocking the download button.

Anyway, i really hope it significantly hurts the GL. Itll be interesting if it does. Youll see all the people that rely on that weapon having their KD ratios PLUMMET, while the people that get killed by it a lot will have their KD ratios rise.

I am fully mentally prepared to bounce 203 shots like mad.

**perry** · 01-25-2006, 02:20 AM

And, hey, the UAV comes pre-nerfed for your convenience

**WhiskeySix** · 01-25-2006, 02:21 AM

either way, i learned something important watching that guy play... contrary to my previous understanding, it turns out that i actually SUCK at bf2

any rough estimate on when this patch will go live

**Kilrogg** · 01-25-2006, 02:55 AM

I like that the noob tube bounces, I was wondering how they would do the minimum arming distance thing, although the distance seems pretty short still... The bouncing can actually be used tactically, fire it around a corner where you know someone is. It's going to be slightly annoying when it happens to you but if you see an assault class at close range just stay really close to him and he won't be able to toob you.

Choppers don't seem that different, just have to play more carefully and use tv missiles more. 4-5 rockets for a chopper to catch on fire is funny though, going to be even easier to kill the enemy chopper

The UAV does seem really weak. Almost like two guys using one clip each could have it down real quick. If the UAV makes any noise its going to be gone 10 seconds after its up.

C4 tossing. Looks the same to me? The player is sprinting before throwing so the distance appears normal to me. I'm certainly not an expert on the class though.

The tube arm distance does seem a little short still....hopefully thats legit that they are still tweaking it. Bank shots will be fun. I used to do that all the time as a Engineer in Enemy Territory.

**Barracuda_Magoo** · 01-25-2006, 04:03 AM

Is it just me, or did the UAV crash into a smokestack? Not only is it weak, it's also blind and stupid...

**PanzerHans** · 01-25-2006, 04:36 AM

In my opinion the C4 throwing is going to alter gameplay alot. I'm a bit uncertain if I like it or not. The chopper nerf is going to move the chopper away from the action towards being an armor killer(TV missiles). Now the question is what have they done about planes/sam's, unless we have something to counter planes with they are absolutely going to rule the battlefield.

My guess would be Feb. 1 - 8 to coincide with the booster packs.

What I want to see with the grenade launchers is for EA to give them a true minimum range. In the older video they still exploded at point blank range if they hit a player. They didn't show if that was still possible in the newer video.

Helicopters look relatively balanced, they'd be effective backing up a squad but wont be able to clear a flag single handedly anymore. They're going to get destroyed by jets though, it'll be ugly.

The UAV looked weak and I'm pretty sure I saw it hit the smokestack.

C4 looked almost more effective...

What about the AA changes? I've only seen the missiles hit one hovering helicopter so far, not a good sign.

**Riki_Rude_BTYC** · 01-25-2006, 06:45 AM

the UAV definatly hit the smokestack, also, you see the Spec Ops shooting the UAV, but then a heli comes up behind of it, which makes me wonder if the heli was shooting it also?

I like the nerfed helis, no more 4 AT rockets to take one down, although i think making them destroyable before a mounted gun heats up is a little to nerfed, although, im sure with a moving helicopter youll have to wait for a cool down. All I have to say is watch out heli pilots im pretty talented at hitting you guys with my AT rockets ^_^

i like the weakened noob tubes, BUT id still like to see the grenades explode on impact with vehicles.

i think the C-4 was a joke? with that question mark at the end, and it seemed that the blast radius was bigger.

**DirtyLude** · 01-25-2006, 10:47 AM

One thing I hate is getting run over by vehicles, and the noobtube was my only defence against that, or the AT rocket at times.

The C4 throwing distance isn't new. The guy in the video is just expert at the sprint, jump, C4 chuck combo needed to get it that distance. Play on a pubbie where those guys can do that and they rack up big kills.
