I believe I joined the server around 2030 GMT on Dalian as USMC. Tried to use armor but ate three of Deveran's TV guided missiles in a row (Wulfyn was piloting, I believe) so I gave up on that endeavor.

Sharqi was fun even though USMC got pushed from the map. Only complaint was there was a spawn camper (pubbie) from MEC that would wait at each spawn location at THE ALLEY and n00b tubed me three different times when i spawned. After i caught on (slow learner) i would check the spawn points right after capping a flag and sure enough there was that guy waiting patiently for someone to spawn and i'd have to dispatch him. someone must've said something on TS because i don't remember seeing that fellow on the next map, luckily.

Fushe was where our squad really started to click. LEAD-HEADACHE was squadleader and Xink was incredible as usual. we were all engineers and formed an armor column that capped/defended flags at will. an attack helo came sniffing around during the first three minutes of the round but with all the armor and .50 cals on the buggies firing at it simultaneously it exploded in a big hurry. after that i don't remember ANY helos coming near us.

Next was Wake and even though China won the round, our US squad was able to hold the airfield through thick and thin. I truly thought it was one of the best squads I've been in while playing BF2.

I kept on playing until the server was reset for password night, but by then I was completely drained. I now realize I'd played five hours straight on TG before the PW went into effect, and with the level of intensity here I just couldn't keep going at that pace. heh. So I played horribly on Mashtuur and threw in the towel for the night.
