You know, I used to play C&C Generals a long time ago and there was a nice weapon there that was a bus with gunports. EA needs to add one of those to the game so I can garrison it with SAAW-carrying engineers.

Best thing I remember is pulling Catman's video, Man he was pissed at me and I thought I made another enemy here. Honestly, Catman reminds all the time that there are other things importent here. Some codes are absolute, but fun should be had long it's not at the expence of another player.

Thanks Cat.

When waiting around a flag, it's also pretty funny to sneak up on your teammates and knife the floor or walls around of them. It's always funny how fast they turn around when they hear the sound of a knife

.

Great guide. That's exactly how 2142 (and generally, most video games) are meant to play. +rep.

Oh yeah, I will also whip out the ganz and shoot all around teammates when on a vacant flag, typical response is, "Oh I'm being shot at.....oh wait, nevermind it's just Cat."

I am all Catman! +rep

If you are ever wondering if you're taking 2142 too seriously ask Cat to join your squad. If you aren't laughing with him and his antics within the first minute then you likely are and should take a lesson from him on how to have a laugh while gallavanting around the map spreading mayhem and murder... on a stick!

Playing with Cat keeps you young!

Is your squad lead engrossed in the minimap and looking for enemies, go teabag him. Doesn’t matter if he’s standing up, you’ll definitely get a “What in the hell are you doing?” from them.

Test your parachute.

Test the orange barrels.

Followed by:

DON’T BE ANNOYING!!

Does not compute.

I get the distinct feeling you and I would mix like oil and water in-game, but I appreciate you taking the time to post your perspective! To each his and her own!

We probably wouldn't mix at all. Actually the few times we ran practices with you and the third I had a distinctly unfun time

When is the last time you just held back and defended a rear flag so that no buggy rush or ROFLCOPTER could swoop in and take a back flag from you? When I started here, defending back flags was part of the game and it's something I still do regularly. Until that squad shows up, what does your squad do? I imagine pushups, timed run drills or practice nade throwing. The rest of us have fun

But as you say, "to each his or her own."

Uh, pretty much every time I play on the defensive team. On Cerbere Landing, for example, my squad always spawns towards the back with 1 engineer to stop the buggy rush. We then wait to see which flag needs help before committing.

Also if you go on Camp Gibraltar towards the back there is a spot on the wall where I carved my name in the wall with my knife while waiting for the chance a buggy rush might make it past Toll Station.

Honestly there are lots of times I do the 'boring' jobs in-game. I'm just saying to me the things you described, shooting at someone's feet, blowing up random barrels etc etc would annoy the heck out of me

I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm right. It is a game, and we each play it our own way. I was just giving my perspective is all.

I have never had the thrill of playing with the Cat but his purrfect words ring true in a Cheshire sorta way! Tis all about the FUN while chasing your tail

PS. Heh, at least I tried

**Photometric** · 11-12-2008, 04:33 PM

Last night I sniped someone with my pilum...always fun!

**Catman1975** · 11-12-2008, 04:38 PM

Oh yeah, making smiley faces on the walls with my weapons.

Interesting note, I did this once on the DIG COD4 server and when you're dead you can scroll through everyone else and see what they are doing....Well apparently someone was watching me do this and got quite a laugh out of it.

**Sir-Nerd** · 11-12-2008, 05:20 PM

Rules i live by.
If i have a crappy round, i'll start singing to in VOIP to make everyone go into complete silence.

**Gronigo** · 11-12-2008, 05:59 PM

From what I was told by a reputable source, having fun is the first cause of mortality in western countries. Think about it next time you draw smilies with your ganz on that cute orange crate. There's a lesson to be learned. Live and let die. Potius mori quam foedari. There's a spork for every mouth. I could go on like this, but there's a limit to the amount of wisdom I can share within a single post.

Now that I made my point, please don't ask me for references as I need to protect my sources. Just take my word for it. If someone asks, just say it comes from a reputable source.
