WelshBluebird Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Just wondering if this is worth me picking up (I still use that term, even though its Arcade haha). I don't really play online that much, though did play BF1942 a little bit back when that came out. And most of my friends aren't really gamers. But it from the sounds of it, I'd have a bit of fun with this. Is it still fun if your just in random matches? Cheers.

Boz Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 New mode as well?? Awesome I just thought it was the map. What is the mode? I'd really like some type of attacker/defender mode (gold rush style).

Vortex566 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Trailer Coral Seas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg8aHBau4Ro.swf :o I never knew it was that cool! I will have to wait until tomorrow to play it as well. Is it in the normal map rotation or a separate mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 14, 2009 I still suck at lining other planes up in my sights and I can't fly well in the cockpit view. This mode will help me practice, for sure lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingeringSoul Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Mad props to anybody who can dominate in Air Superiority. I tried it for five minutes and I got completely decimated. I just can't turn fast enough, so whenever I start getting hit from behind, I know that I'm pretty much finished. I love how it's an entirely separate mode, though. It's great if you just want to practice flying without the other maps in the rotation. Also, I can just play normal games when I'm not in the mood for getting owned :).

LOC Veteran Posted July 15, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 15, 2009 I can't fly a plane in any console BF game for ****. Plus, by default the controls on the 360 are un-inverted to what I'm used to on the PC....wha?? Regardless, I saw some insane stuff on my first play through of Coral Sea. People flying into the carrier, people crashing into other planes (awesome) and especially people who dropped BOMBS on planes in mid-air (even more awesome). I can see the game mode taking off (no pun intended) and DICE adding more maps to this mode specifically. I just wish the controls were better. Also, an automatic target lock system would be ideal, but they didn't have them in WW2 so I guess it can't have it. BFBC2 better thave it though if it's MP has planes this go round lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoLiMiT06 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I still die parachuting even when holding A though I survive if I land in the water lol.My big problem, when flying, is lining up another plane in my targets. I just always miss and forget about the bombing; I've yet to get a kill with it. Try tapping "A" that's what I do, as for shooting down planes I just go kamikaze and crash into them :D Same with tank on the ground :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 15, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted July 15, 2009 You press B to jump out the plane and then press A twice to open the parachute. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 15, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 15, 2009 My first, albeit it brief, impression of Coral Sea was not a positive one last night. I only got a chance to play for 30 minutes, which was equal to 3 rounds, and all three rounds I had what I can only describe as douchebags spawn camping. Now here is the thing, you get no points for doing it in this game (at least not most of the time I did see some guy firing from the ship right next to the one I was taking off from getting points), so I thought these idiots would realize this then move on, but nope. 3 rounds of these ********ers doing it over and over and over. And yes, I tried backing out and finding a new server, was the same exact thing in that one. So yeah, that is just stupid. When I could fly, I had fun and def learned to fly better, but I did not like the mini game of "am I going to make it to get into a plane alive."

ramsy66 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Personally I just totally ignore the planes in this game (except for if they're bombing me or I'm shooting them out of the sky), I never fly them myself. I find it hilarious watching the entire team shooting rabidly as a plane takes off, because somebody else got it and not them. In fact I don't like any vehicles in any of the BF games, except maybe the blackhawk in BF2 to get somewhere, but then I jump out. I feel alot safer on foot in Battlefield games. However, with my sound system, it's pretty awesome hearing planes flying overhead and hearing the dogfights going on above you. I have no interest in participating in any of it though. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshwa Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Does anyone else find the spawning system a bit annoying? For instance after dieing, you wait to spawn yourself, then you have to wait for a plane to spawn. However if your not standing in the right place at the right time, then other players who have spawned after you jump straight into a plane. This happened 4 times in a row at one point, and I was left standing there whilst others spawned and immediately jumped into a plane. I was waiting for well over a minute.

ViperAFK Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah the spawning system is TERRIBLE. The first matches I played were 8 v8 so I didn't have any trouble with getting into planes but in a full match its ****ing stupid. I don't know if dice playtests their own games or what because there is no way they should have found that acceptable because 90% of the time you spawn on a carrier with 3 other people that has no planes and there is 2 planes on the other carrier which is completely unoccupied. Also teammates should not be able to blow up their own planes in this game mode (Or simply not given rocket/nade launchers), I ran into a lot of douchebag griefers who blew up planes on the carriers. This crap ruins an otherwise fun map. They really should have had bigger carriers with more planes on them for this, this is stupid. The planes should at least spawn as soon as someone takes off in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
