Battlefield 2 Message Board  

I just cant control the planes. If i fly with my mouse ill screw up most of the time, if i fly with the arrow keys, i cant shoot

i can,t fly planes but i can fly helys planes r 2 hard 2 fly o yah use iron sights or scope don,t spray and pray

I can fly planes and use the bombs, as well as flying helicopters. Just takes a lot of practice. I usually play Point of Existence 2, the AA missiles are extremely hard to dodge. Near-impossible to dodge AA missiles + unusual terrain = the most challenging flying experience!

Just remember practice makes perfect (no, you won't be perfect, though )

Try using a joystick that's how everyone else owns in the air.

Ya that always helps, you also have to learn how switch back and forth quickly between weapons.

Shoot in Burst or One to One mode.

When you are aiming, try to aim the neck to get more headshots.
BF2 is really sensible with headshots hehe.

I know a lot of people who cant play BF2 but still play bf2142 very nice. It is all about the aimning system.

As for the plane and Helis, I advise you to try every reaction after moving or thouching a direction. You will quiclky learn how to keep your heli stable . The best thing is to begin in higher altitude so you cant crash in buildings or trees.

What is really amusing is that a lot of people dont get it with aircrafts, but in BAttlefield Vietnam it was 3 times more difficult thant bf2. In 2 years I never stayed more than % minutes in the air. I gave up lol . But BF2 is reaaly easy

aiming :
assualt units are the best at aiming. stand your ground, move reticle to enemy(zoom). shoot. remeber your ammo is limited.
grenades :
difficult to use, should be at close distance ( sorry)not sure


Hope that helps

hey i use the mouse and wasd controlls and i own multiplayer i do tricks and all the time dodge every missle and lose an enemy in no time, just kick on the thottle in a jet, flip to one side release throttle flip over and dive almost to the ground pull up using thottle and the missles hit ground, then take out the enemy
