I think it was pretty awful how you could be going 99 mph toward a Soldier standing in a field and if he shoots an RPG at your jeep, even 2 feet away from his body the jeep just defied physics and disintegrated leaving the Soldier standing there unscathed.
But the Jihad Jeep was a pretty fun tactic to use.
There was a bug I discovered in Battlefield 2142 where you could crash any server at will by placing any sticky gadget to a commander asset and then picking it up again.
oh! and I think it was patch 1.3 in Battlefield 2 where servers would crash almost 100% each round. Back then, stats would only update at the end of a round and Dice didn’t bother patching this for weeks. It went on like that for the entire summer holiday with people barely able to make any progress.
Yes, this one could be exploited.. if you had a bad round (k/d-wise) you could simply leave before the next round loaded and your bad stats would not save. It was a PITA though, when it was time to get off the game for the evening and you had a very good round and had to sit there and wait until the next map loaded, then quit to save stats but take a loss.
Well, in DICE’s defense, we all complained in BF1 that our assignments were randomly selected for us and often times we wanted “X” but it never came around and so we were given “Y” to complete, except we had already completed “Y” and got the medal to prove it.
So I think being able to select what you wish to work on is a great change, if you care about such things. Sometimes I have found myself working toward something I realize later I won’t even use.. like a “Mint” standard sight, when I’m currently using a 1.5 x scope (for example)
How is that in defense of DICE when their system in BF3 and 4 was still much better. Any in-game activity that met the requirements of any assignment was completed. Period. You didn’t have to select anything, or wait a week for new assignments. BF1 and BFV assignments are trash.
BFH - K10 + Body Armour at launch
BFH - Everglades glitch where you could be under the map and shoot everyone but could not take any damage yourself.
BFH - TDM spawns.
BFH - Hotwire CPM “glitch” where you could just drive around and racking up insane points.
Dusting issue by dice la with their spring patch in spring 2015. Game is totally broke. Most shells hitting fast moving vehicle wont get registered.
Took them 3 months to fix.
Funny part is, after fixing their own mistake, lots of ppl came to thank dice la, even considered it as their credit.
When you fixed something you broke in the first place, you should not get any credit for it, period.
I remember in Battlefield Vietnam and Battlefield 2142 that both released with pretty broken server browsers, you couldn’t even sort by ping in the beginning.
I only played Heroes two or three games to get the BFH dogtag or whatever it was.
So thus far I have played almost all the BF titles since around 2005.
Most underrated was BF 3(?) Vietnam… those were good times. Napalm.. need I say more?
