If we give it to you now you WILL go crazy.

hehe yeah... it's best to wait...

Can i just ask what "point farming" is? I'm guessing it's just being posted at an enemy base and picking them off as they continually respawn? And how will they stop you from tk'ing someone next to you when you're in a tank/apc/jeep any ground vehicle for that matter?

(Sorry for DP) Just read the list... :O

# Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery!

Is this good or bad?

thats a very good question

Very good, because if you kill a load of enemy troops and then teamkill loads of your own you'll have a crappy score. And it helps the gameplay, havn't you ever been artillery teamkilled by a commander just as you're about to finally get that post you've been fighting long and hard for?

it also means that a commander doesnt have to worry about how many of his own guys are in an area

he can just TK at will and itll have no effect on his score

which will suck if everytime you run into a flag where the enemy is he blows you and them to hell

I can see that going down well, still, some of the other changes look and sound helpfull..

as for "point farming" its another name for stat padding, ie, 3 people:- one to kill, 2 on other side (one to die and one to revive)

that or that damm hovercapping invincible blackhawk

I don't like this at all. There are already too many muppets out there that rain artillery down recklessly, at least buy punishing them you got some satisfaction over the pointless death. This is going to cause chaos on the pub servers. You will spend more time dodging arty strikes from some n00b commander, bent on a high score, instead of taking the fight to the enemy. If they are going to do this, they would have been better creating a general no team damage setting for servers. This allows the arcade players and numb nuts to piss off and play somewhere else, leaving the good stuff for folks who actually understand the game. How do they come up with this shit, surely the majority of players would not be for this? They brought out a broken game and instead of fixing it, they (EA) seem bent on breaking it some more.

No, that's not point farming.

Let's say you and 2 friends go into a BF2 server. 2 of you go MEC and 1 of you goes USA.

The first MEC guy is a medic.
The second MEC guy is a medic.
The USA guy is a medic.

The USA guy shoots the first MEC guy. The second MEC guy revives the first MEC guy.

The USA guy shoots the first MEC guy. The second MEC guy revives the first MEC guy.

The USA guy shoots the first MEC guy. The second MEC guy revives the first MEC guy.

The USA guy shoots the first MEC guy. The second MEC guy revives the first MEC guy.

etc... etc... etc...

Regarding the commander TKs.. I really don't see why they did this. I never get TKs as a commander --- NEVER. This is because I NEVER drop artillery near my own troops!. It's a very simple thing to not drop artillery on friendlies. Even if there is 1 of my own guys and 20 of theirs, all bunched up, I will not do it. I'll simply disregard the target and move on to a better one.

This will definitely be abused, no doubt.
