Seriously, chopper minigun.

Please you have to do something about it.
Just few minutes ago i crashed a BH when a bunch of guys started shooting the both miniguns randomly in the air, while i was trying to not be seen by the enemy tanks.
This really makes me angry, seriously, Put a command like "CEASE FIRE, NOW" or something like that, so that I/We don't have to type it everytime.
Also put a command for "WHERE TO" coz most of the time people don't say where they want to go.
Tnx.

These are two excellent suggestions, short of removing the miniguns!

I am sick and tired of transporting troops whilst they blast out their "BEEP BEEP. BEEP-BEEP-BEEP. BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP. ENGLAND!" tunes on it out of boredom - It serves no purpose other than getting us spotted and shot down, and giving me one ruddy great headache.

I like it, we have a vehicle is on the way command. How about "where is your drop off?" or summin like that available as a right click on that option.

Need extraction!
Vehicle is on the way!
Where is the drop off?

Hehe that made me laugh.

It is a little annoying people constantly blasting there guns and you often hear the England tune as mentioned. Now in Basrah people will fire the England tune one side of the city then a few seconds letter it will come back from the other side.

When they shoot the minigun like that, just stop going in the direction you were going and return to the airbase, then ask them to hop out... while pointing them with your pistol. Why did you think that pilots had a pistol ?!

I wish I could just turn around in the cockpit and, with my left hand, pull out my pistol and say "How long do you want me to brandish this thing at you and fly without looking?" That'll make them stop for sure.

I don't take off until they give me a destination.

Tell them before take-off that "If you insist on constantly firing the miniguns for no apparent reason and giving away our position I will be forced to take you to 1000ft and bailout. Seeing as I have the only parachute you will of course have a bad day."

Also a football chant- clapping to the same rhythm, then shouting "ENGLAND!" at the end instead of banging a "DAH!" noise with a mug.

God that makes no sense.

I need to stop browing forums whilst drinking beer and writing an essay.

I think generally a cease fire, team wide voice command(with text) would be a useful addition.
I i dont think that there is an open fire in the BF2 voice commands list, but that would be nice too. That could just be a local voice command, like 'follow me' and 'ammo here'.

...mongol...

I was having a bad day....till I read some of the responses to making the idiots stop shooting the mini guns LMAO thanks im sure they would all work

Yeah you could implement the "Stop Firing now" taht you get when a friendly is shooting at you.

yeah.. try doing that as MEC/Chinese

PR players should seriously consider learning in-game languages, cause there's no way that you could tell mec/ch guy to bail out using commo rose

Returning to base and bailing out the chopper are two definate options for stopping the problem.

But it brings with it some new ones:

1.) The other 5 players in the chopper are thinking "Christ, we'd get there faster walking."
2.) You lose a chopper
3.) Losing a chopper will likely portray you as a 'noob', rather than understanding it from your point of view, that you were gonna get shot down with all that racket anyway!

I wish when people did that that there was a big Austin Powers style red button you could press that would jettison the gunners.
