Re: pet peeves of pr

If the AH-6 is such a 'spam machine', maybe they should make it so that AA can lock on when they are firing? Stupid: yes. Effective: Probably not. But let's face it, if I can't hear a damn thing in my MAA vehicle, then chances are I won't see the LB unless I'm really lucky or have good teammates.

Desert maps with little concealment/cover for infantry and long travel distances (along with previous comments regarding too few transport vehicles).
Joining the server after work and seeing that it is playing Kashan...again. There goes another PR evening due to long rounds.
Players not using VOIP. I don't care how good a player you are, if you can't speak to the rest of the squad your communication and teamplay is going to suffer.
Seeing 3/4 of your team not where they are supposed to be on defense OR attack. Possible inexperienced team and/or team stacking situation here.
Squads who move really, really slow and are late to the party consistently. Hmmm...I think I may have led one or two of these on occasion while trying to do defense and keeping up with the 6th Devils on attack. lol
The M16 triple shot. Full auto FTW!
Players who don't follow you to cover, sit still, or provide cover fire while you are trying to heal them.
Being tank or helo raped yet again and not having any tools left to fight them.
AT being used against infantry.

**knewman** · 11-11-2007, 02:39 PM

- Squads that hang back at main for no reason
- Accidental TKs, I know its an accident but I still get mad about it
- Getting revived only to be turned into swiss cheese a split second later
- Connection problems
- Not being able to find transport on huuge levels
- and everything else that you guys mentioned

**Skud** · 11-11-2007, 03:05 PM

People who put mines EVERYWHERE randomly. Like, it doesnt even make sense. Then I hit one and it's a TK and they get all mad. Well what the hell was that mine doing IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT?

**IMI-50AE** · 11-11-2007, 03:11 PM

Maybe they are simulating the untold multitudes of landmines scattered throughout the middle east.

**AFsoccer** · 11-11-2007, 04:39 PM

- Seeing the whole team in one place b/c no one set a RP and there happens to be an APC there.

- Squads that are assigned defense but two minutes later they're across the map trying to attack a flag.

- SLs that hit the "accept" button after receiving an order with no intention of obeying it.

- Not communicating (inter-squad or with the commander). Examples:
--- A squad is asked to hit a particular enemy asset (tank, etc.) and they destroy it but they never update the CO. If you don't tell the commander, then he has to assume it's still there.
--- A squad is defending a flag and get totally wiped out, but don't tell anyone. Instead they spawn at main and try to get all the way back to the flag... as if no one will notice. Admit you got wiped out so we can get in there to cover for you and provide help.
--- Squad leaders that act like the CO is bothering them when trying to get information about their progress (mostly because they're never updating the CO in the first place).
--- Not spotting enemies with the Q key. Infantry is one thing, but definitely spot enemy assets so everyone can know what you know. I hate coming around a corner and being face to face with a tank that could have easily been spotting by the people in the area.

- People that run over friendly mines and then punish.

- Grenades that fall at your feet.

- Having someone rummage through your dead body and/or take your kit. They're something so helpless about watching them do that on deathcam. I think they're disappointed most of the time b/c I usually have generic kits or an just an officer kit... but to me it's even worse than being teabagged. LOL

- Those days when you feel like you have a huge neon target on your helmet and it seems like every time you spawn in, there's an enemy spawn camping your spot.

- Btw, I love helicopter and tank squads when they are working as a team and with the team... but dudes, don't just sit at the main for 10 minutes. Grab an engineer kit and help build the initial CO assets or capture the first flag. You can bet that the CO will ensure that stuff is waiting for you if you just helped him get the game off on the right foot!

I just want to come back on this because when I'm in the USMC team in Qwai I used to take that Attack LB... and I feel so sorry for the enemy on the ground. It make me think that this chopper is way to over powered! (but yeah I LOVE to fly this thing and own ppl on ground). If you know what your doing with the attack chopper you can "own" all the other team pretty easily.

But what I hate most is people taking chopper and don't know how to fly them, people that don't listen to SL order, solo tanker/APCer that don't want to team up to be 2 in the armor and when commander don't have VOIP (but I played a game where the commander didn't and he was pretty nice/good!)!

its just a rocket spam machine. its basically a one man kit with 14 light AT's ready to fire.
it was like that on muttrahv1 and it was a spam machine back then too... nothing changed for qwai. its plenty of 'fun' for the smacktard pilots, but everyone else just going 'wow, that is so lame'. especially the way players fly reminds me exactly of why i hated desert combat for 42 air combat. the 'float like you are about tocrash and then spam your rockets' type of flying looks soo ghey and impossible to hit..

Hey fuzz, IRL the rockets don't fly like laser beams. Is there a way you guys could maybe look at building in some deviance in the rockets flight path(s)? It would certainly make blowing APC's w/ the LB a lot tougher.

Edit: Oh, and the light choppers should become trackable by MANPADS too. I think that would stop the LB pwnage a bit.

**Betterdeadthanred** · 11-11-2007, 08:02 PM

-1 man tanks
-1 man choppers
-1 man squads
-grass that doesn't render at distance
-idiot teammates that waste assets (Running off with the damn commander truck!)
-people who can't fly but refuse to accept it
-people who think that air assets are worthless
-squad members who don't follow orders then bitch to the whole server when you kick them

Peeves of mine: crashing aircraft on the runways (I still do it sometimes), not getting CO assets built, not being able to get a revive done (like Gio Ribisi trying to save men on Omaha beach getting shot).

**KoopaTroopa** · 11-11-2007, 08:23 PM

Improper grammar and internet-speak. Also, an apparent inability to actually capitalize the beginning of sentences and acronyms. :P

**visCera** · 11-11-2007, 08:44 PM

-Medics who say "I'm healing you, I have the bag out!" and fail to realize that you have to left-click to heal.

-Non-Aggressive Chopper pilots. "Land me here... 'But I'm taking AK fire, wut if I die?" And he proceeds to land you a full two to three grids off. Gee, I coulda walked.

-13 Year Olds who join your squad and complain in their girlish voices about "How do I get kits?" and complain about "OMG he killed me in two shots, that's so unfair" GOD THEIR VOICES ARE LIKE FINGERNAILS ON A CHALKBOARD.

-No One staying to defend key points. Like the rotation between Fishing Village and Govt. Offices. It's retarded sometimes.

-Lack of Scopes on the M-16 Class of weapons.

-Spawn and get the sprint glitch (you sorta stutter and go slow instead of sprinting).

-1 Man Armor.

-When Razor Wire goes bad.

-When sandbags kill you / friendly.

-Smacktards stealing my command truck / spawn cars.

-Not Having Muttrah in .613

**thegreatnardini** · 11-11-2007, 09:07 PM

1. The "scoped" M16. I don't mind the iron-sights one, but the scoped one has weird recoil and I just can't use it effectively at all.

2. When your squad leading and your squad dilly-dally's around instead of following you, and you end up sitting 200 meters ahead and waiting for them to get their butts on the move.

3. People asking how to get kits, find the uber-l33t sniper rifles, etc.

4. AT/anti-air missiles against infantry

5. BF2CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Sprint bug

7. One-man tanks and helis

8. People not building assets. I had a squad leader the other day who was by himself, so I ordered him to help build. He spawned in on me and stared at the bunker with his shovel out FOR A GOOD 2 MINUTES. After repeatedly telling him to start building, how to do it, and typing it out in chat a million times, he proceeds to try and take my comm truck and drove away. It's not like he was completely ignoring me, cause he spawned in and stared at the damn bunker with his shovel, he just must've not felt like building it that day or something.

/end rant

**Skud** · 11-12-2007, 12:03 AM

I think everyone should list BF2CC because it causes 95% of our problems!

**iios** · 11-12-2007, 12:19 AM

fuzzhead's original post sums it up for me.
oh, and medics running over my revivable body, especially when they're in my squad!
