This ruined a game for me

Stopped playing BF2 online when hackers figured out how to rain a continuous stream of UAV's from the sky. Would lag up and eventually crash the server.

I sometimes see a never ending stream of jeeps raining from the sky. Quite the spectacle.

The only thing that ever really consistently gets me to quit is when I keep getting stuck with the horrible team (we've all been on that team!). Nothing makes me question why I play Battlefield 2 more than when I'm stuck respawning on an aircraft carrier that just keeps getting the **** blown out of it. After a while I either quit or sit back and watch the team scramble once again for the chopper and sure enough get blown up. lol it's an awfully pathetic sight.

ps. I hate to admit this, but I love it when some griefer/idiot pilot loads up a chopper and then pilots everybody to their doom. Sometimes into a mountain, sometimes out in the middle of the ocean, and sometimes right back into the rest of the team. It's friggin timeless fun even if I'm a passenger.

Ah. Ever though that maybe it's your own fault? Dont spawn on the carrier, or if there's no other spawnpoint, spawn and take a boat or swim. People standing on the carrier, crying how they get their arses kicked are just as pathetic as the one's bombing the carrier.

We got some servers up n running here(we don't play on the international servers as the international bandwidth is costly, and local is cheap).
the guys playing all are regulars(and our gaming community is small) and seem to know each other personally, (admins play most nights) so hackers are quickly found out and..."uninvited".

So if the ping ain't too bad, try sgs in the server search.

The servers are accessible from international sources.

Swimming is annoying, but it has helped to grab a point or two. Even if just for a short while. It sucks though when a sniper just happens to notice you and some guys swimming to shore.

I'm certainly not the best player or anything, but sometimes I'm on a team so hopeless that the enemy simply has everything, even our own turf locked down. I remember this happening a lot on wake. I spawn on the island with the arty and I'm getting bombed from enemy aircraft or picked off by snipers and tanks or worse, the enemy decided to make camp there and destroy the arty and anybody spawning. The boats, even the ones from the carrier, are completely unable to make it to the mainland without being destroyed (mostly by enemy aircraft). Our own aircraft are either bombed where they spawn or swiftly taken out by better pilots. Sure I might get lucky and manage to grab a point with a few other guys for a brief moment, but it just never seems to go anywhere when the enemy team is way better.

Also, I like to play the big servers (i like that little war feeling with so many people) so it gets pretty easy for a better team to lock the map down.

It really does wind up being a hopeless situation. I usually prefer to blame the pilots. The aircraft in that game can give you hell. A team with a really good pilot or two can do wonders. I wish the AA defenses were better...

When the game turns into this (really it only ever happens for me sometimes on that 24/7 wake server), the only entertainment I get is in trying to foil the enemy rambo squads that try to infiltrate the carrier.
