is there a way to "ban" airstrikes?

[thedeadlyassassin]

On certain maps? Because on some of the little ones they practically cover the entire area, making them overpowered. Hell I even got 14 kills on 1 airstrike, I should be happy but it sucks. Is there any way at all, like a setting or something, to ban airstrikes?

I'm not suggesting banning a player for using an ingame option, just wondering if there is an option to turn them off or something, it really ruins the fun spawning 3 times and dying those 3 times from 1 airstrike.

Also, if possible it'd be great if we got an admin on around the time of this post, because I was watching a lot of sniper kill cams where they were jumping and hit me in the head repeatidly (if thats a word)

hey assassin

No i don't think there is a way, i wish i knew cuz i spawn in them way too much

lol assassin i thought you were an admin you're on all the time and you're a great guy, isn't that what you need?

I'm about to log into the game.

It is actually harder to kill as a sniper than 2142, believe it or not.
I have gotten decent with snap shots as a sniper though, so don't
feel like they are all hacks, they are just that good.

All of the admin's take SS's and an occassional fraps of players to see
if there is anything going on. Suprisingly very very little is going on
that isn't just Uber L33T players having fun. We HAVE banned, though
it is MUCH MUCH less than what 2142 had, even on it's quiet days.

We have discussed the airstrike/gunship possible ban. On maps such as
bog, airstrikes kill alot of people at once. We don't run any maps that are
that gruesome for airstrike/gunship kills. Enough buildings to hide in that
those strikes don't take out alot of people normally. If is just part of the
game at this time. If it becomes a problem, then we shall re-address it.

Good gaming, and have fun.

"Ranked Servers" of which we are one, cannot disable UAV, Choppers, or airstrikes.

If you die 3 times from 1 air strike you are hitting the "F" key to quickly after each death, as you have a 5 second kill cam before respawn!

I like airstrikes. they piss me off at times but when I get 5 kills it makes me feel like I accomplished something.

Sometimes i get bored with Airstrikes and i will target just one person, say sitting back sniping, that shows up on the UAV.

I like them...great killing tool. Helis get on my nerves more. especially when you can't get it off because everyone else beats you to the punch lol

You don't get one after an airstrike

hmm, I thought you did, I have NEVER died twice from the same airstrike....

Yeah, making a jump shot is tricky, but not impossible. Unfortunately, it's a fault of the game. The "hold your breath" thing to stabilize the scope is nice, but you hold that same stabilization, even while -jumping- with your huge rifle. So yeah, it's a little unrealistic... You just have to find someone sitting still, jump a few times to line up your target, and then hold breath, jump, and shoot.

It's not the getting killed that bothers me, it's the constant earthquake that messes up your aim.

I hate that one too.
