I can tell you, as a member of a Clan (Although we are new to BF2), the difference between moving with your tried and true brethren in tactical operations (As we do in our ususal domain before BF2) will, for the most part, get you the victories over the unorganized...Since I moved over to spin up this NEW Division, I spend my time playing on other servers to get a feel for the level of response there...It is frustrating to know I have tactics that I cannot use as a loner, since nobody seems to care, outside a few hookups on a smaller scale of individuals who see how you are trying to work and join your squad to go after the flags in an organized manner...
HOWEVER, someone posting a reply in a thread on Total BF2 by me, regarding EXACTLY your point here, stated that NOBODY is into going after WINS in this game...EVERYONE, he said, is out to move their stat sliders and get badges and awards...Quote: WHO THE HELL WANTS TO WIN???" Man, what a letdown...Once I capped my basic badges, good enough for me, now lets get down to specialization at a few classes and work on being LETHAL at it. badges and ribbons fall where they may, to support my team WINNING...So I thought until I read that reply...
I told him I stood corrected and would now change my tactics and start playing for myself, but, I find it difficult to pull away from the mentality of looking for those few actually trying to win and move to support them in whatever way my class preference works...Maybe its the hours of relentless training I have endured to play like that...Hard to teach an old dog new tricks...IS that wrong??? Are there more of you into just free for all shoot em up, wild west gameplay, where I should just get used to it and act like the others?? or, stick to wanting to WIN and hoping I continue to find those few who are looking for the same???
Not arguing anyone's point, more, reflecting a misunderstanding on my part and wwanting to KNOW for sure where I should focus my energies...Thanks for any replies, as it's not entirly off-topic to the host poster's question...
Good luck, good hunting out there...
OUT!
