Opinion on Roadkilling

You may run down enemies only in the direction u are driving. Turning
around or circling around to hit the enemy is not acceptable

I don't want anyone to think that this is a proposition to change the current rule. I've been asking quite a few people whilst in-game how they feel about this and thought it would be a good idea to bring it up here. There is some confusion about when the roadkilling becomes excessive. I've seen people kicked for one roadkill because they made a hard turn to hit someone while others roadkill a couple of guys and get away with it.

I will start off by stating my opinion clearly: I do not roadkill. I do my best to avoid hitting any enemy under any circumstances with my vehicle. This does sound extreme, but I think it adds to the realism and it's a choice I make to enhance the gameplay. The frustration I experienced with roadkilling was only enhanced once I started to squad lead a few months back. Having one enemy drive at 60-70kph jumping a curb or small hill to hit one or two of my guys while maintaining that speed was enough to cause a hasty Alt + F4.

Roadkilling in PR is an abuse of the limitations set by the Refractor 2 engine. DICE did not design BF2 with realism on a level that PR attempts to bring us, so I consider this an exploit. Just the idea of killing another player in PR by running him over should be as taboo as placing C4 on a HMMWV to kill a tank. I've watched hours and hours of combat videos and read many books without any incidents of a driver running an enemy over in combat.

I look forward to reading other opinions.

In my opinion people who purposely drive in such a manner (read "aim") that you get hit should get kicked. I don't mind if I run across a street and I get run down suddenly.. That's my own fault, but my panty's really get in a tangle when I get roadkilled on purpose (like 2 times today ). First time was a miss, so I reported him.. As soon as I hit the 'enter'-key he ran me over (caught me from behind)..

I think that's what the rule stands for. Changing directions etc. is not allowed (which can be spotted very easily). Getting roadkilled whilst walking a straight line.. What can I say.. Unless he really doesnt change directions I dont mind (but if he changes "lanes" so to speak, that is lame)

I will roadkill someone if he is directly in front of me give a take a couple of degrees but any more than that and I just pass em by.

Same ^^ if am plowing along and a dood is at 12 O'clock hes getting squished! If he is at 12:03 he is still getting Squished! if he is at 11:57 he is still getting SQUISHED!

If it's more or less en route to where you're going then fair enough - Most players (me included) try and shoot the driver out like a pr0 l33t sn1p0r instead of getting out of the way, they (I) MUST LEARN MWAHAHAHA.

Lay some claymores and watch them come to ya FOB. Then blow em up and laugh.
