Battlefield 2142: Big Nerf!

[USA Shadow Wolf]

Orbital Strike (Artillary) is nerf? Every game I order a Orbital Strike on like 20 guys and only get one or two kills. They are all in the open and I seen them get hit but they don't die. After I get hit by this strike I also lived and sometimes never hurt. I am in the open and not in a tank or anything. What is wrong with this? In BF2 artillary kills anything...tanks mostly live throw it unless its a dead on hit.

Everyone that plays commander having the samething. So its not just me. So, did EA forgot to fix this "bug" or is it a real big nerf?

I thought the Strikes in 2142 were more of an EMP type thing....if thats the case, then I don't seen how an EMP blast would kill anything unless it was in a vehicle

lol it just screws up vehicle usage and screws up vision of infantry... orbital strikes (nicknamed sorbitol strikes) is the eqiv of arty

From what I've been able to tell (I mostly play Titan), Orbital Strike's are basically the same thing as artillery in BF2, firing in a progressive carpet bombing of explosions that do varying damage depending on where the targets are. From the receiving end of the artillery fire, it just seems like people have gotten better at taking fire. From the commanding end, it's the same as your point of view, with only a few kills.

Might just be the more condensed maps or smarter players, because as far as I can tell the strikes aren't that different. Maybe a smaller blast radius, but that'd be it.

everytime I OS on someone I get at least 5 kills

I live through then all the time. You can hear them coming from a mile away. I just keep running dodging the hits. If I see that I'm taking damage then I pull out by medic bag and keep on the move while healing.

They seem to have been nerfed a little bit, and the EMP strike is useless. Every time you hit a walker in it, no one takes the time to take it out while it can't move.

Support kits need to be nerfed though. Badly.

with support kits they just need to fix the sentry guns and stop shooting through walls.
