Discussion: Battlefield 2142 / Battlefield 2142 - General Discussion - The Oracle: Ask Lyra A Question ! - Building on vorlon's Q...
What is the most pathetically, hilariously, moronic thing you have ever
A serious question this time (one I have in fact been thinking of posting about)
What would you say is the most underrated item/weapon/thingie in the game? Can be unlock or not, and by underrated I either mean totally taken for granted and used all the time without thought or never used at all.

The single thing that makes Battlefield into the thing it is:
The Defib
The Defib is kind of Arcady. Just point and click and the guy is back at 100%. Reality lovers pull their hairs out at this point.
But for a teamwork purpose the BF Defib creates a unique power balance where going for quick revives is the key to survive extended Squad VS Squad battles. It also creates the legendary situations of "the eternal Squadlead"
It also in theory EVERYONE on both teams is able to have a positive K/D. That makes both sides happy at the end of a good round.
A few months ago IŽd have put EMP Grenades here. But the religion was spread well !

Are they back at 100%? Lately I've made it a habit to have my hub out as soon as I make a res (assuming the area is already clear), but if they're at 100% already I've been wasting my time like a big idiot

Yeah in BF2 Vanilla and 2142 they are.
If you look at the Project Reality BF2 mod, people get revived with low HP and need to get patched up.
I believe the first and last items had me as a victim.
Dear Lyra,
Describe the versatility of right-click frag grenades.
Right Click Grenades are awesome ! Grenades are one of the meanest weapons on the Battlefield.
You can right click for different amounts of time and then throw them at different speeds / ranges
You can even barely click the right mouse button and then throw while jumping to lob it over fences like on Cerbere Command center.
With alot of practise you can also "Airburst" Grenades over your targets. This means you toss the Grenade with a perfect timing to explode them just above your enemies head. This way there really is no escape from them.
Bonus Fact:
You can also HOLD DOWN the right mouse button indefinetly. This can lead to some wired results:
|TG| Sproge "Tiger how did you flip that tank?!" |TG-SC| PM07SNV "We need another world war to base more games on..." |TG-AIR| DrBeat: "I just dropped my propane tank in the fire again"
If you want to run a roflcopter you can go 2 ways.
The first way is to fill it up with soldiers. Gunners, Ammowhores, Pilot, Repairmonkeys... a full Squad. This makes a Roflcopter almost indestructable BUT makes a hugh impact on the battlefield. You will most likely miss people on the ground taking flags. This will A) make you lose the game and B) create a lot of AA fire from down there.
The second way I prefer. Just a 2 man team of Pilot and Combination Gunner / Repairboy. This way you wonŽt steal much steam from your ground forces but can still run a very succesful Transport. Just play carefully and retreat when under 70 HP.
As mentioned earlier learn to use the back outside view to fly. Then abuse your gunners ability to zoom in to make enemy footsoldiers life hard.
Dear Lyra, I understand that if you implement physics correctly, you can air burst a 'nade across the expanse at Square. I have done this from one balcony to another, but why can't I successfully kill the enemy on the far balcony on the first try? I have also tried the Clark RDX in that experiment and it worked like a charm. What am I doing wrong?
Lyra, do EMP grenades only go off when they hit something or do they have a blow up limit?
How long is the life span of a grenade and what is its max distance?
It is not often that I encounter across myself when researching a topic. I found the following in a recent article on the uses of ethnography in virtual environments:

Took a gamble and got a refurbished 30 GB OCZ Vertex 1 off of NewEgg for the low, low price of $30. Had some trouble getting the drive to be recognized by Windows or by my BIOS. Had to use a jumper...
It has been almost 6 months now and I am still waiting for the second peer-review report to come in for my next book (this one is on the future of television).
Things usually unfold faster than...
