Re: Return of the Roflcopter

**Zhohar** · 12-27-2007, 07:06 AM

Yep, I've sat through a round of roflcopter. It was Lyra flying, reaper gunning, and Crux and me repairing.
If I could describe it in one word, it'd be statpadding =p
I think we crashed a couple of times but even still, it was a ridiculously-scored round.

Edit: Just to clarify: we weren't stat padding, I was just joking. We were a tightly-knit squad, we communicated well with each other, and everyone did their job properly; as a result we all got high scores. We weren't doing this as a persuit of points and nothing else: we were denying the other team air superiority, we were dropping motion mines to stop their vehicles, and we were killing infantry and helping our team capture flags: we very much so working with and for the rest of our team.

Yeah I am sure I still need points

Transporting is one of the things to require most teamwork and communication in this game - so its hell of a lot of fun

was the rolfcopter started in battlefield 2?

Meh. It isn't stat padding. Stat padding is doing something purely with the intent of scoring points without regard to your team's winning.

The rofl-coptor is about using the transport to suppress enemy infantry and air vehicles. Yes, a high score tends to result from it if done well, but that doesn't negate the effectiveness of it.

I get a high score from killing people with my Voss, reviving my team-members and capping flags. Is that stat-padding?

**Lyramion** · 12-27-2007, 03:44 PM

Don t deny it crux! We all statpadders

I was on the other side of your gun that game (multiple times). Great work! I can't wait until I get to be in the roflcopter again.

Had a great time Roflcoptering on the Gunn server into the wee hours of the morning with a few of the 3rd insomniacs + Lyra. To the untrained (noob) eye the extreme points that can be had by running a transport squad can be confused with Statpadding/Hacking. At one point someone typed in chat, "TG = Hackers". I think Reaper snagged a screenshot. Fun times!

I think he hadn't ever seen the transport repaired in the air

**rage4order** · 01-29-2008, 04:35 PM

Damn, I knew I should have joined you guys last night when I got done playing frontlines. I was really tired but that would have woke me up.

Yes it was. It was the transport chopper on Mec side. It had many names, of those I remember roflocopter and "the flying cow".

**Guardianx11x** · 02-12-2008, 06:40 AM

I was accused of hacking less than two weeks ago on our very own server (granted it was in full pubby swing).

"You guys are hackers"
"How the hell can a transport continually drop motion mines!"

sigh-ness

**Jakaleel** · 02-12-2008, 12:06 PM

What part of Support flying, Assault Medics gunning, and the rest Engineers repairing and dropping mines don't they get? We used to do that with the Chief.

**Reaperassault** · 02-14-2008, 03:31 AM

you know its a ROLF night when...

its a shame our team didn't have a few more tickets I was close to my record kill streak

**rage4order** · 02-14-2008, 11:56 AM

Great, almost broke your personal record in a loss....

**Lyramion** · 02-15-2008, 12:21 AM

Have to admit... our Squad made up 78 tickets while losing 1 ticket with only 3 people of 26. Losing the game might be - just a bit - the fault of someone else this time
