So.. I'm gonna rant.

Not for long.. just a little one.
I had a pretty frustrating few rounds on a wake/karkand/mashtuur server. And I'm sure there'll be many more to come in the future..

First off.. The glitching... now.. i know they're known problems and EA is probably (I REALLY HOPE) working to fix it.. but today i came across a really whacky new one. Aside from my rank not appearing.. unlocks not being given, friendlies showing up red.. and enemy's showing up blue (even green sometimes). Today I had an audio glitch where i heard a specific USMC teammate sound MEC... grenade throwing,medic calling.. all of it.. in MEC language...it baffled me. Obviously though, it was client side as it went away about halfway through the round...but who knows really...

Then the ramming on wake... ugh.
I saw this once.. and wish more people would abide by it.

"Airplanes are NOT guided missiles."
The assholes that see a blackhawk with 3 or more people in it.. and decide it'd be better to put the cockpit of the J-10 through my face than come back around and try another pass can kiss my big cherry cheek ass. kthnx.

Upon complaining of course... after the same asshole rammed me and my entire squad more than 3 times. I was promptly kicked from the server for calling the jackass a "Bitch".

Which brings me to the next part of this thing..

The language filters..

What..
The..
Fuck.

It's a god damn WAR game...cursing should be a given... mild cursing at least.. i can fully understand a racism filter to prevent the promotion of bigotry and whatnot..

But being kicked for calling someone a "Ramming little Bitch" is pretty annoying if you ask me...
especially when it's justified.

Forget trying to say "cockpit" either..

I just fail to see the point of trying to G-rate a War game with a stupid ass profanity filter.

So after rejoining this server (my friends were on it so i wasn't just going to find a new one) the map had changed to karkand. This nooobcake of a ramming pilot that was being a lameass on Wake is now.. oh but of course.. doing NOTHING.. and i do mean nothing.. but using the M203...
Some of you argue it's a style of playing... and yes... i'll agree.. but when it is the ONLY weapon that is used for an entire 230 someodd ticket round is just plain lame in my eyes...but hey.. that's just me.

So BLARGGG... I need to find better servers..

P.S.

Hell2Pay, You're the biggest noob in this game that i've had the misfortune of playing with. I hope i never cross your stupid bunny hopping,M203ing, plane ramming noob ass again.

/uninstall please...

Yup,the usual...people who always wanna fly (although they don't deserve a plane,it's for shooting,not ramming!) suck/whore at close combat.They are scared little rabbits(I try to avoid using the word bunny ;-) ) and because they are so scared they hop around nervously and always use the biggest gun in their arsenal - the grenade-launcher.
There should be splash damage for the GLs,a point blank hit with a 40mm grenade should f*ck up the shooter too,if people really need this "one-shot-hope-they-die-because-I-suck-with-a-normal-rifle"-behaviour they should play UT-instagib.

I feel your pain.  And yes, you're definitely playing on the wrong servers.  Try and find one that doesnt allow ramming/bunnyhopping/being a fucking retard, there are some out there.



Edit: I just looked at your stats.  Damn, you are the Transport master bob.

BlackJackBob, that's a damn good rant..... language filters are far too strict. I was helping someone on Iron Gator fly a heli and everytime I typed in cockpit... I got the big green message. What the hell is all that about
I agree there should be a limited filter on the crudest of words, but to filter everything just doesn't make sense... as we've said before, it's a war. I know others will disagree, fair enough, but I did say the crudest of words.... not the usual, bloody, bugger, fekkin, tosser... or other such harmless trivia

As for the 'ramming', that's just par for the course, if they can't kill you one way, they'll kill you the other. Sometimes accidents do happen, I've done it myself but will promptly apologise for my gaff.... Like you say though "Airplanes are NOT guided missiles."
