@IanApples1977 Oi! Don't go insulting right away!

I put the music over it because it originally has the VOIP chatter in the background. It was faster to get it in here at YT by just putting the music over it.

I've been working on the music-less version for a few days now, will be up today.

And learn some manners why don't you?

[d4QazRa]

@oort22 It was a chopper, since in the original in-game sounds, you can hear the MG burst going off behind me after I turn. Also, the jet's MG doesn't make that kind of noise.

I'm not saying that we weren't hunted and killed by another chopper during the beta, those happened plenty of times. I loved BF2's choppers and hated BC2's. It's true, higher is better vs lower targets, but choppers are meant to strafe tanks in which lower altitude is better when hit'n'running tanks to use as concealment.

@scornie I would've also liked to keep the in-game audio, but since I have the Mumble (3rd party VOIP) in the background with chatter, I thought it it wouldn't be so nice to listen to.

However, if enough people request, I can upload this one with the original sounds and no music. I'll just add subtitles what my friend (the gunner) is saying. You don't get the chance to hear my voice, since it only records stereo :)

[d4QazRa]

@oort22 Oh really? At 03:18 we were chased by a chopper, you just might notice, but when I do the turn to the left, a chain of explosions can be seen and felt. I just managed to dodge a volley of chopper MG rounds. After that, the next 5 seconds the hits we took were from the same chopper, until we came around E and saw it crash.

Also, check the gunner (link in description), in it we practically hunt enemy choppers. We weren't shot down by other choppers that often, maby few times in an hour.

@toffe09 & @pizdagorohova

I use Keyboard and my mouse, as always since BF2.

@LtLethal1

I can't remember , unlikely though.

[toffe09]

Nice flying i must say. I've been reading alot on forums and alot of people complain that the chopper is too slow etc, but i don't agree with that, i actually like the handling of the chopper.

What annoys me is that it is so fragile and that sometimes you just flip or crash instantly from either jets or AA.. That is ofcourse a problem when you have to fly this low because if one of those knock effects occur you have no chance whatsoever to recover..

Btw, Mouse/KB or?

[utubeaccount00]

@SynQ86 shooting shit is the easy part, champ

[drumline17]

@toffe09 I'd agree, I absolutely love the controls. I think I'm a pretty above average pilot. Only problem is that WAY too often, I'll land it and get out to repair but somehow instantly die of "bad luck". Bull shit

[iQuibbler]

divine flying right here. never knew choppers could even move this fast besides crashing haaaa

how long youve been flying? can barely grasp flying in the first weeks :S

[zombykilla19]

this comment will get thumbed down if i say bf3 sucks ^.- so you have to...?

[MinKebabrulle]

I thought to myself; What the fuck?!

[Ree1981]

@LtLethal1 It's from "Disturbed", album is called "Indestrictible".

[SynQ86]

Dunno if i must be impressed or dissapointed. Some of both i guess. You fly it really good, but did you actually think of uploading a vid where you actually FUCKING SHOOT SOMETHING and kill it, or just 12min of showing how good you can manuevre it? LOL

[ItzIRiix]

@lllFredolll Disturbed-Indestructible That band is sick <3 Love those guys =)

[ItzIRiix]

=O <3

[Lacelru]

These videos inspired me to learn how to fly the choppers, and I have gotten most of the maneuvering down, the floor hugging and can fly along the rivers and between the trees just fine but for some reason in the videos the chopper seems to be moving a lot faster than it does for me ingame. Is there some trick to getting it to fly faster or is it just an impression I'm getting from the video?

[Davidpirate1]

your good at flying, those damn heli, they so hard to control for me may I get a point or 4 of how to fly one a bit better. (turning screws me up the most and actually targeting an enemy...)

by the way I am using console (PS3)

[lllFredolll]

@copperIoxide THANKS !!!

[copperIoxide]

@lllFredolll disturbed - indestructible

[copperIoxide]

@toffe09 i actually think that the chopper is a little slow. it'd be nice if the sprint button made it go faster, like it does with tanks and other vehicles.

[copperIoxide]

glorious

[lllFredolll]
