Wake sucks - Page 2

Caslon · 10-06-2005, 01:41 PM

I have fond memories of Wake demo, full BF1942.
I can't say the same for this new incarnation.

Wake BF1942 original got kinda rediculous at times when the airfield
was taken and that meant 6 enemy planes with 6 expert pilots.

Now it's just as rediculous playing BF2 Wake.

Awww, Chinese fireworks, how cute...

:P

Muxje · 10-06-2005, 02:34 PM

Wake in BF2 suffers from the same problem as the one in BF1942: enemies parachuting into the flag radius of the airfield, which seems to take up half the map

But on this map more than any other, the carrier should be exempt from arty.

Other than that, I like the new incarnation about as much as the original one. The (few) times I have played it so far had the allies winning about as often as the chinese.

Well someone has to fish for them, might as well be the chinese. I mean come on, what else are they gonna use their missiles for? Fireworks?

I believe wake is at its best when played by around 64 players, because its so big and the more on this island the funner it gets in my experience. it gives more opportunities for using different kits. There are not many tanks on the island and its so big the short range weapons in kits like anti-tank, engineer, etc arent as useful here. I normally play Anti-tank on almost all maps, but here Assault is my favorite and most useful. Another good kit is sniper with the unlock 50 cal...there is a lot of plants, trees and bushes to hide in. I'd say its one of the best maps for sniping because of all of the cover available and the long ranges that the level design offers. Being a Medic is easier in the level because you don't have to worry about getting shot as much because most kills and gun fire are coming from a distance. hmmm i should try medic more on this map.

One team actually did make a remake of el elmain.

I'm not sure how good it is but u could give it a try

grim reaper · 10-06-2005, 08:33 PM

Its crap.

Wake is properly made, with the same scale as the original. The remakes of El al I have seen have been horribly out of proportion.

They remade El Al??? What a good map...

K_Shizzle · 10-06-2005, 11:01 PM

i have a question since wake has so much water in it...can u still drown in bf2 , i haven't yet

Cloud9 · 10-07-2005, 12:42 AM

no u can't drown

K_Shizzle · 10-07-2005, 02:38 AM

thats sort of crazy

MontereyJack · 10-07-2005, 03:05 AM

I haven't noticed any change in the ability to shoot down enemy aircraft. Anyone else notice if the antiair missiles are any more lethal with the new patch?

K_Shizzle · 10-07-2005, 03:20 AM

I still haven't been having much luck against aircraft even though i know some people have...i have noticed it to be more effective against choppers though

Any suggestions on how to shoot down the fast movers? Nothing seems to work for me when I'm in a stinger. Shooting at them Head-on or going away still doesn't do anything.

Fishfinger · 10-07-2005, 09:46 AM

The only chance you have with the fast movers is head on,
but you dont get much chance to lock on before theyve gone by,
once they pass unless they turn back your too late

slytiger · 10-07-2005, 05:43 PM

The only thing i can say is teamwork for stingers. Even a noob can take out a stinger site while in a fastmover. If you have two stinger sites up near eachother you can overwhelm him but otherwise your kinda fuked.

MontereyJack · 10-07-2005, 07:00 PM

Thanks Fish and Sly. I'll concentrate more on trying for a head on shot before I die :P

Cloud9 · 10-07-2005, 07:09 PM

I don't know about being in an airplane and getting shot at, but I've been in an attack chopper a lot and the AA missles seem to be attracted to the choppers like magnets. They hit me more than they used to, so now when I hear a missile tone my chopper looks like it's doing some sort of acrobatic show. even though the missiles are improved...a verteran or expert pilot attack chopper or jet will be able to evade the missles most of the time and be able to kill you at the AA site your at.
