An outside perspective tactics review

**SGT.Link** · 07-02-2009 09:26 AM

First off let me go into who I am for background. I played BF2 and BF2142 for years but recently was pulled away from all gaming due to the US Army "surge" and spent 15 or so months overseas employing a lot of the tactics that you guys use nightly on your server. With that real life experience I would just like to talk a moment or two about my experience on your server.

Being a squad leader in real life AND having played the role numerous times I want to throw some props out to your squad leaders from last night when I was on the server. My player tag was The.Link and I had an absolute noob kit. My old account got haxed while I was deployed so I was rocking a bare assault.

I found your squad leaders both knowledgeable and courteous. I hopped into one squad and was instantly queried about kit. After telling of my void of unlocks I was politely asked to find another squad because it was going to be an engineer centric squad. I was gracious for that and not just an instant squad kick you'll see so many other places.

Tactics wise I found that you guys really worked well as a team on the variety of maps I played. You worked well on infantry based maps and also with the vehicle dominant maps.

All in all I was impressed and once I flesh out my kits a bit I'll most likely be returning for more good experiences. I think you're running a top notch crew and props to you for that.

Well, welcome to TG. Typically you will find this in the servers.

So you are a Sergeant (in real life)? That's pretty cool!!!!

**SGT.Link** · 07-02-2009 10:10 AM

I note that your in Iowa Penguin. I'm currently living in Des Moines, wife's from Iowa. But that's a tangent for another time.

Yea I was active duty for 7 years, am doing a year of National Guard then my contract is done. Working as a Network Administrator now. Kids change your perspective.

I will definitely be coming back to the TG server for some fun. I am unlocking support kit first for shotgun fun, it's my personally preferred play style, right in your face. Eventually I'll flesh out the SL unlocks and be poking my neck out trying to score a squad.

I'm glad you're enjoying your time here, but I'm a little disheartened to hear that you were asked to leave a squad just because you didn't have any unlocks.

Welcome and have fun !

I have no issues with that request Catman. It was an engineer based squad on defense and the SL was very polite. I just hopped to a squad that was assault/support centric and more up my gameplay alley and it went splendidly.

Get a defib ASAP and you'll have the main essential piece of kit for anyone on the servers.

This may help if you're not sure about unlocks when playing on the TG2142 server.

**SGT.Link** · 07-02-2009 10:38 AM

I found last night that I could just follow my squad and almost instantly pick up a kit from a dead man with defib, rockets, and unlocked rifle for assault. Then immediately I would grab my own Defib for "on spawn" from field unlock since your squads work well enough to warrant one of those within the first few moments of play.

**SGT.Link** · 07-02-2009 10:40 AM

And yes, I'm sitting at work bored, watching servers and waiting for a phone call about a problem so I'm trolling your forums pretty heavily and responding a lot.

**DrBeat** · 07-02-2009 11:25 AM

Well then let me welcome you to TG. I assure you we have action on the server every night.

**Zhohar** · 07-02-2009 12:40 PM

This is just beginning, mate. Wait until you see a full server of us -- it's like chess, but with blood, and that makes it so much better

Good to have you amongst us. Add me to your buddy list -- I'll try to look for you and play with you. Ingame name is "Zhohar."

**ProjectNA** · 07-02-2009 12:43 PM

I'm still working towards the "keep up with Zhohar's brain" unlock.

I look forward to playing with you guys and having a good time of it all.
