You don’t need some stupid ass G15 Logitech $100 keyboard to be an asshole in BF2, just use this keyboard macro program called AutoHotKey, it’s completely free and aside from being able to create scripts for doing things like chucking C4 or Jumping/Proning/Switching to scope view, it’s also a cool program for reassigning keys on your keyboard, ever wanted to make the win logo key something you could map to in a game, reassign it to a normal key letter. Have a game that doesn’t allow you to remap keys? Maybe it has something assigned to your Scroll Lock and you want it closer to your WASD setup, make your Alt key the Scroll Lock.

Anyways, on with the show.

Download and install the program, you’ll now have a few extra menu options when you right click, one is under New and it’s AutoHotKey Script, pick that and you’ll now have a blank script named New AutoHotKey.ahk on your desktop, right click on it and choose edit script. This is the starting blank template, here’s where the script goes, copy and paste mine, make changes to it and then save it, just click on it and you’ll see an icon in your task trey showing that it’s running.

Hotkey, *XButton1, Toggle
Send, {NumLock} ; turn on numlock light on keyboard
return

*LAlt::
Hotkey, *space, Toggle
Send, {ScrollLock} ; turn on scroll lock light on keyboard
return


So, what does it do and how does it work, first I’ve got a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, large side buttons on it, I use my left thumb button for prone in the game, in AutoHotKey it’s recognized as XButton1, I use the left Ctrl key to toggle the insta-prone script, and the numlock light on my keyboard tells me if it’s on or off.

When I’m spec ops I use the Left Alt key to toggle my spacebar to activate the C4 chuck mode, and the Scroll Lock light tells me if it’s on or off.

So let’s say there’s a tank on the other side of a fence on karkand, I select C4, turn on my C4 chuck scrip (Left Alt) and then hit the spacebar, C4 flys over the fence and auto switches to my detonator, you could also have the scrip auto fire to detonate but I don’t for those times when it miss-fires and lands at my feet (not that often but it happens).

As for the prone script because I have my left thumb button assigned in game as my prone key I had to assign another key to prone in game so that when the script is running it’ll activate the prone function, I assigned it to P as it’s completely unused in my normal keybinds.

Before I launch BF2 I make sure my numlock and scroll lock indicatator lights are off, click on the AutoHotKey script, then load BF2 or BF2:SF etc like normal.

Now you too can be a lame ass C4 chucking, prone spamming fool!

Cool huh! :sunny:

Oh boy. Good to know it doesn't take a special keyboard to act like a tool now.

I'm sure there's other ways to do it too, those macro gaming keyboard things like the Nostromo Speed Pad n52, there seems to be new ones introduced all the time.

This option is free, and it isn't any huge secret.

This is what I think's funny, in 1.3 you could C4 chuck with this script it was pretty hard to do manually and get the timing to work out every time, in the 1.4 b2 open beta the script didn’t work for jack, you couldn’t toss c4 for shit, in the final 1.4 patch it’s easier than it was in 1.3, you don’t really even need to use a lame ass script to do it reliably. DICE are a bunch of cockups!

what does this do? i mean what is the point of chucking g4 and going prone?

i'm bf2 noob

lol i have the same keyboard and all these scripts loaded. ive only used the TV missle one so far. Every time i run up against mister #1 -=RD=-Volx i spank him everytime. today i spanked him on jalalabad the 3 times when we went up 1vs1, a few weeks ago on Karkand he tried his hippy hop shit and i whooped him 9-1. also Me and tobacco kicked his ass real hard one time that he dico'ed after the round. Pffft

I dont wanna be know as captain fish flop.

Going prone helps your accuracy rather than standing and crouched, What peeps do is they fish flop or insta pron and manage to get a 100% accuracy shot on you and your dead in a second. Wish makes it hella lame cause you know in real life you wouldnt be able to fire until you were stable.

C4 chucking was killer before they took it away. if therewas a tank on the other side of the fence then you can chuck a C4 over and blast him. Or goin 1vs1 against someone and toss C4 on him and boom. They restricted the C4 chuck distance alot but with the scripts it helps time the throw right so u can chuck again.

Oh a little off topic. Infantry Only KICKS ASS. Me and t played today and shit man it was fun as hell. Grab your MG36 and rip it cause i went 22-2 one round and then 34-5 the next. Woohoo. Fuck armor.
