Battlefield 2 Etiquette & Legit Strategy
DarkObsidian
Introduction:
This is just a list of things that should be followed in order to obtain the ultimate BF2
experience for both yourself and others.
Make suggestions and I'll add them.
This is going to be constantly added to so please, give me your input
Also, it'd be nice if this could be stickied please.
If you become angry or frusterated because you didn't get a vehicle, someone killed
the person you were about to, someone TK'd you etc.
It may be hard, either keep going or just leave the server
When running or walking near friendlies, be aware of their fire sectors.
Example: A friendly is on the ground with an M249, PKM, RPK, MG23 etc. etc.
A friendly sniper is aiming (You can tell by looking at the positioning of his rifle)
DON'T WALK IN FRONT OF THEM! Always try to avoid their line of fire by going behind
them or if they're standing and shooting, prone and go under, and pay attention when
others are throwing grenades. TIP: Try contrasting with the sky to see grenades go by
easier. Be careful if you're in hostile territory though
NEVER EVER KILL A FRIENDLY FOR A VEHICLE
If someone is waiting for a vehicle, let them have it.
Don't whore a vehicle or the commander spot for more than a round or two, it's just not
polite.
If you get mad because someone is abusing a weapon (I.E. Claymore whoring, constant diving
with the PKM) Just leave or find a way to counter it. I understand though, easier said than done.
However, this is much better than causing a scene and a flame war in the middle of a game.
When someone is trying to have a serious conversation, don't say stupid shit like "Your mom"
etc. It's immature and just plain stupid.
If you TK someone apologize for it. Typing it out is alot better than using the Q commo and saying sorry.
(FSFGrimes)
Don't punish for a TK if it was an accident, punishing does not affect score and they already feel the wrath of the teamkill in their points. Only punish for teamkills done on purpose.
Dont shout at the commander via voicecom, if he accidently kills you one time with his arty
Dont start mutiny votes against a commander without any obivous reason (2 seconds after a round started)
If you start a kickvote against someone, care to explain everyone why you are trying to kick him.
Eboreus
Do not run towards the commanders artillery. It's no power-up!!!
DuVeL
If you get TK'd from being a smacktard, don't even think about punishing!
mcminty
Always forgive TeamKills when it is not always obvious how you got tk'd. (in a plane and you are killed because of a wild heatseeker,etc.)
.:|bAd|:. CrazyTalk
Try to be mature (and if you're not; just act!)
PvtchieF73
Not everyone apreciates you picking up their kid to revive them.
F.Rabshaw
Don't lay down next to snipers and snipe, it's drawing more attention to you both.
F.Rabshaw
Don't get in the chopper gunner seat if you don't know what right clicking does.
F.Rabshaw
Don't continuously revive someone that is around a corner and dies the second you revive them by a tank.
F.Rabshaw
Vehicles have breaks! Use them! Don't ram into other peoples vehicles because you're impatient or greedy.
Drive around or wait one or two seconds until the bottleneck is clear/ passed. Hold distance.
Crashing into the vehicle of your team gains you no advantage.
d-tect
Faster units should wait for slower onces (tank & apc, jeep & apc, etc). Fighting together is an advantage for yourself and your team.
d-tect
Never, never...block the way for others. Don´t put your vehicle in the way, when your team needs/ wants to pass a bottleneck.
d-tect
Join SQUADS and do what squadleader & commander told you. As SL don´t confirm orders if don´t follow them. Don´t join/ create squads if you want to play on your own.
d-tect
Play not own your own - play for and with your team. Teamwork is possible even on public servers.
d-tect
Look both ways before crossing a street, watch for tanks, APCs, and cars.
DuVeL
Read the server rules while you sit patiently waiting for the game to load. If it says NO VEHICLES, NO COMMANDER, GROUND TROOPS ONLY, then take this into account - if you want to play in tanks go elsewhere. If you can't read the server rules because they are in another language then go elsewhere to ensure you don't upset people
megaboost
"NEED AMMO" - this means I need some ammo, it doesn't mean I want to chase you across the entire map only to have you TK me because I scared you.
megaboost
If someone requests a pickup, make sure you really pick him up - dont let him come near and drive away
Eboreus
If you are pilot and someone enters your vehicle as gunner, live with it and try to make the best of it - dont just sit around like an idiot, waiting for the person to bail out - there is no spot with you and your best friends name printed on the vehicle
Eboreus
If someone you don't like gets in the gunner seat, don't drive them to out of bounds so they die.
jord
Don't create a 1 man locked squad. Theres a limit to how many squads can be created.
Stomper_40k
If you´re not familiar with any miltary terms (e.g. "FRAG OUT !"), go back to Mario Kart....
HellHead
If you play support or medic : 1. The ammo and medic bags are no personal fun items to serve your own
pleasure. Which leads us to...
2. STAY WITH YOUR SQUAD ! They need you, you know ?
HellHead
If you´re the pilot of loaded Blackhawk : TELL THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, IF YOU FEEL A SUDDEN URGE TO GO SKYDIVING.
HellHead
Don't spawn at the start of the round, and take a boat/heli/vehicle and drive away on your own.
RonSeal
No one likes a Rambo
RonSeal
If you can't fly a jet or heli well, don't try and waste everyone's time. Go back to single player and learn how to first.
Torin
If you are a pilot check the radar screen before unloading bombs on a juicy looking enemy flag. If you can check it for red dots you can see your teammate's dots as well.
KurtisMayfield
Medic's please learn how to use your kit properly. Remember that you can revive fallen team mates.
theDude5B
Medic's and Support Kit's, be aware when you hear a team mate asking for a medic or ammo. Sometimes the person might be standing right next to you. It is not nice to be ignored.
theDude5B
Don't steal vehicles when they hop out to remove a mine or repair their vehicle
monkeyboy
Grabbing a Hummer and positioning myself in just the right place to get 8 or 9 kills and switching into the turret, then having some one jump in and drive me into an arty barrage or a tank and instant death.
