I dont call myself the aviator, its aggressor-01 in BF2. However if you knew anything about flying and weapons,. You would realise that BF2 simulates the aircraft and their weapons very bad. So by flying as flying should be done, you actually get shot down. In this game speed kills you, not the enemy.
Btw, you will never get me to play Halo3. I cant play those kind of games with a gamepad. Thats why you owned my behind. I suggest you try out Flightsim2004 and try to land a 747 with a gamepad.
Whenever you up for som dogfightinfg one on one in BF2, give me a shout and i prove that your not the better pilot.
