I'm trying to encourage my brother to play so he, I and a friend can go as a three-man sniping team and I finally talk him into practicing sniping last night on a large Karkand server, he creates a squad called Snipers as per my suggestion and is setting up shop on the west slope when the commander (Inc|LoKi) tells him to go and attack one of the bases across the river. He keeps this up and my brother has little enough experience with the game that the command message on screen is distracting so I tell him to just hit Page Down but the order comes in again and again. Eventually my brother gets sick of this and tells the commander to take a hike; after a death (he was typing so of course that's when the enemy came at him ) he's making his way back to his spot and his team's artillery comes down on his head followed by the "Next time try following..." rebuke!

So has anyone played with Inc|LoKi? Is he just a dick or what?

On the upside, I offered to play for my brother (who left in disgust) to get the first two ranks so he'd have the unlocks he really needs - the M95 and the L85A1. Because he plays so little his page said:
Score: 304 of 800. At your historical rate, you should earn 496 in 92 days (or 14:11:43 straight).
...or one evening, whichever comes sooner LOL.

Along the way to 799 points I got him basic special ops combat and basic sniper combat, plus was fortunate to enter a game on Sharqi where we were already in the lead with no commander so I thought why not and I was lucky enough to get basic command too. Not a bad evening's work if I may say so myself

No offence to Loki but he can be a dick when he's a commander, he spammed the radio the whole round on a TOP server [his clan and MB.nZ are members] and ppl were like ''DUDE STFU'' and he went ''negetive'' for like 1 min and it gets annoying. But still I guess u can get bored when you'r a commander but what he is doing is just immature.

a good commander tries to win the game... (don't we all?)
he is the person with the best view and information. he is the one to make the strategy.....
I think it's best to follow his leads.....

when your'e playing a clan server, expect to play in a team.
if you like to lone wolf or go after awards, there are plenty of EA servers at your service!

true the commander sees the whole picture but hes also asking 3 snipers to capture a flag... not what id call smart, and then wasteing the arty to TK them just to make a point also not team play. If it was a 16 player map then 3 people doing very little is devestating to the team, But if it was a 64 player map why cant the commander get someone else to get the flag someone better equiped and more willing.

The worst thing when being commander and issueing orders isnt that they dont accept them, but if they accept them and then dont follow them. At least if they say no you can find somone else, but if they accept you think that part of your "strategy" will be taken care of and when they dont follow you lose the advantage.

Inc|LoKi is not the one being a dick. A commander earns his points by winning. There is nothing more annoying than having squads that refuse to follow orders and cap flags. Your brother's refusal to follow orders is tantamount to being an asshat IMNSHO. I can tell you this, I wouldn't want to be on the same side as you and your buddies.

ONE sniper. He was solo when the request first came in! Only had a squadmate later (pretty sure only one, I wasn't playing, just providing a second pair of eyes to help spot incoming threats).

DrunkFace wrote:

Too right.

It was a large map by the way, not sure what the player load was but at least 50 and there were plenty of other squads that could have been tasked to do something like this - some of whom were already past Hotel!

How do you figure that? He wasted an artillery strike on one of his own team for not taking an idiotic order.

Also bear in mind my brother was a PFC when this happened. I mean be realistic, would you order a single private to take a flag a kilometre away? Duuuuude.

Darth_Fleder wrote:

Okay, lets you and me go into a map together. You go as sniper, I'll command and let me see you accept an order to cap a flag, on foot, at the other side of Karkand, passing through hostile territory the whole way

I played with Inc|Loki once, I was commander and he started a kick vote against me even though I told him I was doing my best (being honest I'm not a bad commander). Apparently the reason was that i TK'ed him with friendly arty, not on purpose. He said I was the worst commander he had seen and I told him he was a nerd.

I'm not positive but I think I've played with Inc|Loki as commander.  The map screen was covered with annoying red question marks from all the crazy spots and there were several mutiny requests.  I believe I disconnected because the constant MEC voice for enemy spotted was going to drive me insane.

Aren't you banned yet? LOL

In case you missed the blatantly obvious: it was my brother who was playing. Out of curiosity, are all snipers 'tards in your book?

As I said to Darth_Fleder, let's see you accept an order to cap a flag on the other side of Karkand, solo, armed with a bolt-action rifle. Seriously, name the time and place and I'll be there to command and take screenies to record the event for posterity.

Are you serious? You mean to tell me that you can't cap a flag as a sniper? That is exactly why I said that I would not want to be on your team with the three sniper squad.

Duuuuuuude, he had know way of knowing your brother was truly a noob. How many people have multiple accounts? No, it is not unreasonable to order a single sniper pfc or no to cap a flag. 

BTW did it occur to you that the flag the the commander was trying to send your brother to may have been undefended?

You're on. Why does it have to be on foot, though, is your brother not capable of hijacking a vodnik, hmmv? I'll start wherever your brother was and make my own way from there.

Hey guys,  guess what?  People pay the same price as you for the game and can play it however the fuck they want.  They dont want to join a squad and whine over voice,  thats their choice.  If they dont want to do the commanders errands an entire round,  that is their choice.

   Sure people that dont use team work and noob around a map piss me off,  but that is their choice.  Im pretty sure I didnt see anything in the rules about obeying commander or get kicked.

  Sometimes I just want to smoke a fat joint,  listen to some tunes and smash some noobs for 20 mins.  If I want teamwork I get on TS with a few buddies.

Darth_Fleder wrote:

I wasn't talking about me, I cap flags just fine thanks

I capture regardless of what kit I happen to be wearing - better score/cap ratio than a whole bunch of higher-ranked players (like Butler for example, who plays deathmatch) - and I defend them more easily as a sniper than most any other class with the help of claymores.

Darth_Fleder wrote:

Fair enough, let's say that's true. But as commander I'm sure as hell not going to order any one-person squad to cap a flag on the opposite side of the map and expect to be listened to.

Irrespective of this, answer the artillery strike on his own team-mate issue. In fact I'm waiting with baited breath for Loki to justify it. It's just a stupid power trip from someone with too much time on their hands and as far as the game is concerned a waste of a perfectly good resource: this was a 64-player Karkand map, you know better than I where he could have placed the arty.

Darth_Fleder wrote:

Don't care. I wouldn't have accepted the order either and if he'd put artillery on my head for refusing it I would spawn back at the gas station and knife his ass for being a dick.

Yes it does have to be on foot since my brother doesn't know where the Vodnik is near Square and can't drive worth a damn anyway I can do this too, if I had to I'd skirt all the action and swim across to maximise the chances of not getting fragged on the way but shoot, I'm not going to do this because some power-hungry commander tells me to.

I'll see if I can find the server name so we can try it on the same server exactly but any busy 64-player Karkand might do. Then you name the time.

Given his attitude problem as shown above what passes for humour as far as NASTIE_BUTLER is concerned is of no interest to me. Also given how he plays I won't listen to anything he has to say on he game unless it's a tip on killing, which he'd be more than qualified for and I could sure use the help.

well i can only go from my own experiences really, when i go as commander i order who is able to take flags to do so... not a single sniper on the other side of the map :\ thats just stupid, and its nice to see someone have an actual arguement to back up their complaint, other then OMG WUT A FAG!!!!!!!LOL

Thank you Lieutenant Obvious.

What relevance does this have? When the order first arrived he was a squad of one - which any commander can see given half a brain, was composed of a solo sniper. And for the graphically challenged that's why the squad was called Snipe or Sniper.
