You know it's a *** round when . . .

[doobiwan]

1. You finish the round 4th, even though you only have 18 points!
2. By the time you're "verified" the enemy has all but one flag on the map
3. The servers full, but there's only one squad.
4. All your clannies swap to the other side
5. There are 4 tanks 6 apc's and two Mobile AA on the map. Your team has exactly none.
6. Your negative team score is the team overall average.

Ouch!

(I'm mucking about with my Tivo - that's why I'm not playing right now.)

 

[doobiwan]

Nice one, so that's why there's no one to cover my a$$ from BBoy and Xeye!

 

[thisgeek]

Lol!

 

[stoke]

Bitch Bitch Bitch - at least you're playing - some of us were wishing we were playing ...

 

[useless]

ditto!

 

[fivelza]

Can I add to Doob's comment,

The entire Asault teams on the server against you and they have ALL the jets!!! or maybe it's just the fact that the entire Asualt teams on the server *runs for cover*

7. TKing a freindly APC full of teamies

 

[doobiwan]

I swear I must have done that a few times in a round last night. At one point I was more than -16 down

Five, sounds like you were on my server after I left!

 

[[PH]Odessa]

On the other hand you know it's a good round, when you in a chopper and you catch a nap while being flown around and still end up in the top 5, when game ends. Lekker.

 

[thisgeek]

Too funny!

Yeah i often find that playing as an engineer and mining the road is a good way to end up with a minus..... I always try to leave a way around for the team, but end up TK'ing a lot..... i can see that really peeving off a few people, but i want to learn to play engineer...

As for flying jets and choppers, I will leave it to guys with joysticks i suspect.... i tried with the mouse and keyboard and quickly realised I am NOT a pilot.... Well, there goes my vision of being "Top Gun" ...<snigger>

 

[bboy]

u cant fly with the mouse, i dunno why they even put that option in the game!


anyway...


its **** when.... your sitting on the heli pad with your mate waiting for it to spawn... he's dancing around like a deer in the headlights... and your bored as hell.. you decide to lob grenades into the scenery... as you throw your first one.. your mate runs past and jumps ... the grenade bounces off his ass and lands right next to you... blows both you up and your mate isn't your mate anymore... you respawn only to see 2 other teamies jumping in the heli!

I find that 'spec ops' style works quite well with engineer... in that you run up behind an enemy armor, drop a mine, run around front, and drop another one. You're bound to get a kill

Ok, it's much more of a challenge than with spec ops though.

 

[Drusky]

Drop the mine on top of the armour and it works exacery like a spec ops.... just don'r be there when it decides to blow up.
I fly chopper with mouse, residual habit from BFV. I do fairly well, lag usually kills me of course.

 

[doobiwan]

I'm okay flying with a Mouse, but I recently bought a new Genius low profile keyboard and the keys stick While manageable as infantry (you'll occassionally see me drifting off in soem direction) you just can't fly a heli like that and expect someone to gun well.

 

[bboy]

chucking mines ontop of armour works very well!

i often run into the enemys uncapturable base and chuck mines ontop off their apc's and tanks, then run miles away! someone will eventually jump into it and as they start it, it blows up, they can never really see the mine!

also, if you chuck a mine next to a tank/apc capturing a flag... and its not moving.. throw a grenade aswell... it catalysts the whole situation

Mining in the Battlefield

Thanks o wise ones, I will definitely bear this in mind when playing again. Great Tips!

At the mo I am trying to get my snipers badge - what a friggin mission..... USMC sniper rifle seems a bit weak compared with the other from MEC & China... or is it just me.

I am looking forward to cockpit piercing rounds?

 

[doobiwan]

I'm pondering that too. I'm almost at an upgrade, so do I take the Sniper upgrade finally, the support upgrade or "2nd level" my AT upgrade?

 

[bboy]

the next sniper gun is really powerfull! but takes a long time between shots, but 1 shot can kill with it!

the support 2nd gun i never use, it sprays millions of bullets everywhere and sounds mean, but i don't find it effective to kill people!

the AT upgrade is better, but only just.
