Made everything waaaaay to hard, and punished you for playing it. Like the polar opposite of AoS.
I somewhat agree. It can be hard and frustrating at times, even if you know what you are doing, but noone said that was is supposed to be easy. :P
Still, flying an ac130 above the AO (area of operation - the capturable town in Domination gamemode) while taking fire from russian shilkas, paradropping a tank, after that crashing into Su25 (enemy jet) and making a last minute getaway with a parachute is quite pleasing. Well, it wont happen too often, but the immersion cannot be replicated in any other game.
Long story incommiiiiing (proof of awesomeness in random MP games):
I was once flying a blackhawk (in MP, playing on 82nd division clan server, domination gamemode), loaded with 5 troops, to repair and recover another ditched chooper near enemy outpost. We took AA fire from the forest and barely made it alive. The chopper was damaged, so i had to do a rotary landing, but as we touched down and disembarked from the smoking chopper we took supressing fire from enemies who rallied to us (clever russians :P).
2 guys got knocked out, i was injured, but together with our machine gunner covered the medic while he fixed them up. Luckily there were no tanks, so we proceeded to the other chopper and split into 2 squads. I took the damaged one (fixed up a bit, since one of the 2 guys was an engineer) and headed back to base to pick up soldiers and take them to AO. I was en route to AO with a loaded chopper when i got to know the other chopper didnt make it. I dropped the guys off in a little forest clearing 300m from the AO and flied around it with my mg gunner supressing them. But when we captured the ao, then there was a new town, so troops got picked up by an MV22 Osprey (the VTOL) and remaining were picked up by me. The osprey lifted off and was gone quickly, but i wasnt so lucky. As i was flying away, about 4km from ao, we got shot down (that happens a lot, if you fly low). Most of us survived, but the chopper was COMPLETELY destroyed (ball of fire)... While taking fire from those bastards, we called for the osprey. It was unable to land vertically because of constant fire, but it found a patch of land and barely made a straightforward landing (about 200m runway, with trees on it, bushes covering it for the most part :/). We all rushed to it, 2 guys were shot, but i made it. The osprey took off and dropped us off at base.
Seeing it land on that little stretch of land was really awesome, i thought as i entered the chopper.
I lifted off, and my connection broke midair. When i tried to reconnect to the server, i found out that i was banned for a day. ^^
