Sick of the heli

[*Evil*Stevedawg]

Title says it all. There is no skill involved. The players that move the most, push up and clear just get taken out over and over by it. It is too hard to shoot down unless you have a lmg. You can not count on your team to shoot it down bc they are too clueless to do it. I really see no reason why we have it. They are spammed all map bc people have them just waiting to get rid of them. The only people it doesnt kill are those who are too scared to move around so they sit in a building and watch a single door.

 

I push to have it removed. Airstrike is your max reward. As stated before they are spammed all map. some maps you can never use it. All this does it prevent you from going UAV or airstrikes because it is higher.

 

Ask any person who pushes out and attacks. I can honestly say that half or more of my deaths come from the heli. And on some maps it accounts for closer to 75% of my deaths. I see no reason to have it. It is not needed to complete any "objective" the sad part is the heli can easily make or break maps. Does anyone find it wrong that a computer controlled OP heli can win maps...you have no control just push a button and the other team will get mowed down. Esp frustrating when you are UAV blocker, silenced, behind lines clearing people and it just flies over and you are instantly dead.

 

Guess i am looking for peoples opinion on it because i would like to see it removed.

I would like to know how Also, anyway on how to make them available at 15 spree rather then 7? I got your point and I agree. But how to is my question.

[*Evil*Stevedawg]

15 works. I know in CoD5 people would just turn the dogs off, you never got them at all. I would guess that is possible in CoD4 but i maybe wrong. 15 kill streak would work. Something to slow down/stop the heli assault. How though...i have no clue how to do it lol

[daredevil]

How though...i have no clue how to do it lol

 

I will look into it when I get time. If someone knows how to he is most welcome.

[Duckie]

There's nothing wrong with heli :?

 

If you think thats bad... just wait for customized kill streak rewards in MW2...

[kdoto]

lol. going to have alot of people complaining about it. it is bad enough that it is difficult to call the heli. heli doesnt bother me too much anyway. but yeah.. i can hear the complaints alreadyyy...... "Kao, wheres the heli?!" xD

[Phant0mEcho3]

"kao where is my heli???" jk

 

you set yourself up for that but in all seriousness they are really annoying when you start out say like 17-2 and get raped repeatedly by a heli.

[PTRS-41]

out of my 5 classes, one slot is wasted on helli killing weapons....... they are annoying only when ur stuck with a noob team who are too scared to shoot it ....

 

sometimes i think that if ur team is hiding and not doing anything, and ur doing all the work, u should be able to get a special streak reward......

 

lets say ur team sux so bad and u somehow manage to get 10 - 15 streak, u should be able to select Team Killing as a reward ( this should make team killing enable only to u, to teach em a lesson ) and kill all those kids on ur team who are hiding in the corner, clueless...... ............ OFCOUR$SE its a joke ....

 

but yea helli are annoying if ur team doesnt help....... U know its takes only 1 Full clip of RPD to takedown a full healthy HELLI, if u manage to land 90 %+ of ur bullets onto it ... and if 1 smart soldier on ur team helps u, it will be down in 1/2 the clip ........ so its not hard to kill helli, just communicate and hope u get a good smart team

I 100% Agree. Drop the Heli.

 

Alot of people are like "Why? Helicopter never bothered me!" ... Try being the number 1 person on the team and flanking an entire team, dodging sniper rifle bullets, doing backflips over people with MP5s only to be gunned down through a window by an automated kill switch. It's f'n retarded. And being the number 1 person, means you're the number one target for the chopper. Sometimes a chopper will literally kill me 10+ times in ONE round. Thats ONE lucky person happened to get a 7 kill streak and now he's rolling me because he killed 7 of my retarded teammates.

 

Lame. Get rid of it. Or, put chopper up to 20 kill streak if thats even possible.

 

G'day

^Exactly my thoughts and feelings from another "attacker"

[daredevil]

How to is only my thought.

Not sure on disabling Helicopters but you can take them down with a pistol and stop them from firing. Here is the code that was sent to me. I'm not sure where it originated from.

I'm still trying to disable the UAV, Airstrike and Helicopter altogether. If anyone has a way of doing it please post.

 

Here is the server.cfg script with the Helo DVARS in the main folder of your server installation.

 

// Helicopter Settings

set scr_heli_armor "100"

set scr_heli_armor_bulletdamage "0.3"

set scr_heli_attract_range "4096"

set scr_heli_attract_strength "1000"

set scr_heli_hardpoint_interval "180"

set scr_heli_health_degrade "0"

set scr_heli_loopmax "1"

set scr_heli_maxhealth "1" //set this to 1=helo can be shot down with pistol. 1300= default

set scr_heli_missile_engage_dist "2000"

set scr_heli_missile_friendlycare "256"

set scr_heli_missile_max "3"

set scr_heli_missile_regen_time "10"

set scr_heli_missile_rof "5"

set scr_heli_missile_target_cone "0.3"

set scr_heli_rage_missile "5"

set scr_heli_target_recognition "0.3"

set scr_heli_target_spawnprotection "5"

set scr_heli_targeting_delay "0.5"

set scr_heli_turret_engage_dist "1000"

set scr_heli_turret_spinup_delay "0.75"

set scr_heli_turretClipSize "0" //this is the critical item, set to 0, helo doesn't fire. Default is 40.

set scr_heli_turretReloadTime "1.5"

set scr_heli_visual_range "3500"

 

The helicopters will still show up but they are now completely neutered - actually, they're not neutered, they're impotent (I wanted to be medically correct). If you set their health to 1, they can be shot out by firing spit balls at them.

 

Hope this comes in handy for you guys

 

 

i read a few things that removing the heli makes your server unranked. But this script still allows the server to be ranked but the heli easy to bring down. Not exactly what i was looking for but maybe an option

[Tomato]

Let's not completely destroy the poor heli. While I hate it as much as the next guy I don't think we should outright make it not even worth getting.

I think what we should do is use the following commands:

set scr_heli_armor_bulletdamage "1" This one makes it so the heli doesn't absorb damage and will now take full damage.

set scr_heli_target_recognition "0.75" This command determines what percentage of the player has to be seen for the heli to target them. The default is only 30%, so setting it to something like 75% will help with stupid situations like them shooting you through a doorway or window or something.

set scr_heli_turretClipSize "25" I think making the heli not able to shoot would not be very good (even though I hate being shot by them ) but making it's clip shorter would be better.

 

I guess you could also mess with it's health, but it wouldn't really be needed if you got rid of it's armor.

[Malokyte]

If there was someway to just make it target people at random. That would make it bearable to me. It gives everyone the incentive to shoot at it because they could be the next one targeted by it. Plus I wouldn't have to hide in a hole everytime the damn thing comes my way.

[*Evil*Stevedawg]

i dont even try hiding anymore, i still die inside from it. If its coming i throw all my nades and start hitting F :|
