Rack up points (more targets for me!), whine to myself, near end of round complain to my team about why they suck, continue into next round, etc. That or screw around, jihad, take out assets, find commander, steal enemy armor and sit on a runway, m95 camp the carrier, generally be an ass to the other team.

I'll switch to a kit I don't play much, like sniper of spec-ops, and get some practice in.
That is pretty much what I will do.  Get in some more time on kit's I don't play often and try to make a difference.  We were all crappy at one time, I try to help people be less crappy.

Most times, I stay in the noob team and try to make something of it. If capping flags won't work, I'll play for myself and my k/d.
Applying for commander works sometimes then.
Other chances are that I'll disconnect after a round or 2 because the team stays suckage.
I wont change sides much, only when teams stay balanced if I do.

I just try to finish out the round as best as possible.   Try and fight really hard.  I try to have fun and enjoy is all.

Here's a screen of one of said matches where my whole team sucked... I was just about the only one with a positive K/D ratio.

Here my team wasn't doing so bad that I couldn't enjoy myself so I finished the round and disconnected... But sometimes when I see that all the flags are going bye-bye in a hurry and there's nowhere left to spawn - or we're held back to the carrier with no chance of escape I wont hesitate to disconnect immediately.

Nyte, if you were as good as you often like to represent there shouldn't be any reason to teamswitch.

Hey, much as I like to take potshots at Nyte meself one lone infantryman, no matter how good, can't really help a team that's full of weak players and/or noobs, enough to win that is. You sure as hell help if you kill a lot, die less, cap flags, defend them with clays etc. but not enough to pull things out of the creek if you're already sinking and you've lost the paddles.


By the way, in the original post it said, "...join up on a server and end up on a team that's losing pretty badly. We've all joined servers and ended up on the side losing by over a hundred tickets, have only one base, and comprised of mainly lower ranks." For those that haven't figured this out for themselves yet, or gotten help from more experienced players or a forum post, you never ever have to accept this if you don't want to

I try and win the round myself with my teammates as cannon fodder and it sometimes works (most often on small servers with big maps), but if all hope is lost, fuck this shit I'm going to a better server

Sit in a hiding-spot and be the last one left if my team doesn't have an uncap. Then I just wait out the APCs, tanks, J-10s, and artillery on me until I die. Meanwhile my team is calling me a noob for being the last one left.
