I'd like to vent on the damned C4 requirements. If you don't have it by now, you're never going to. The SOB has more kills required than veteran kit reqs. For 30 kills, you need to blow up 5 full Blackhawks worth of players. It is more likely that you will kill yourself and teammates more than the enemy. Whenever you need to replenish claymores or C4, there's not a support in sight. The fact that the weapon system is so bad that you end up switching to your detanator or pack whenever you do not need it. Even so, why aren't hand grenades and anti-tank rockets included? Every kit can get the knife or pistol badges, so why not explosives? If you do manage to get the badge, it's likely you're just about 30 kills-150 deaths or something like that. I'd like to take this time to start rampantly cursing. That badge is a crock o' shiite. Mother****ing piece of **** ****ing sucks ***. It is so ****ing gay in the requirements put forth and the ******* weapons used to get it. Son of a ****. and that's what grinds my gears.
prozac anyone?

I was on Warlord today, at the parachute spawn. I hit the parachute key, and sure enough, my ultra parachute of DEATH gets me a PUNISHED TK. Then, the FUCKING WASTE OF LIFE THAT PUNISHES FOR A PARACHUTE TK calls ME an IDIOT. I just sort of lost it after that.
what really grinds my gears when I join a game and all the good players are on the other side and they just wipe the floor with us. The reason I know all the good players are on the other team (other than the huge difference in points) is the fact I'm the highest scoring player on my side. For that to happen then I just know my side are noobs or like me not very good.
and when you move from server to server and its the same every time its time to call it a night and grab a book and go chill out. fuck, I hate nights like tonight, up for a good game but its just not meant to be....

It's even worse when that happens and you have joined the game well after it started. I had that happen to me one day and to top it off i had the worse ping in the server at 130.wyattwolf wrote:

Noobs are a plenty in this oh so worn realm of terror and tyranny, the bullets and bombs fly only to be caught by the opens arms and fat bodies of our lesser brethern. If possible EA should set up the servers so you can only join a game by rank, that should help root out the noobs and let them play with their own kind.
Mother****ing game! I lose connection to the server every freaking time I will break 100 best round with a new army. I can repeatedly get it as SAS, SEALs, MEC, or USMC. But until you get me as PLA or any SF teams I lose it. I can literally go rounds before but as soon as I start playing well---boom. It's happened twice as Spetz, twice as Insurgents, and just now once more as MECSF. ****!!!!!!!!!
I know where your coming from. However, I have to disagree somewhat. There are people with higher ranks than me who are worse players, and there are players with lower ranks who are better than me. It took me 4 months of playing almost every day to learn how to play the game. As a result my stats still suck. I got better playing with people better than me and learning from them.A.HACKER wrote:

Now I have people join my squad when they see me cap flags and take out tanks and APCs with the AT kit.
I just hate people who whines about my commanding, they cant even do it better.
Also.
I hate people who whines about me driving around in a tank ( Because they THINK I'm a commander)

Well I have to disagree with your disagreement, while you say that you have played against players of higher rank , they can't be as bad as you think since it takes a certain amount of skill to achive those ranks. My thought still stands, if players are kept to set rank levels, say two or three ranks at at time, it would help keep the playing field level. the learnig curve on this game is low, people can still learn the tricks of the trade while playing with their rank equals. I personaly learned many thing about this game just by experimenting.DSRTurtle wrote:

Hacker, anyone can get to the rank of Col with enough time playing the game. You don't need anything except points. Even the ranks of General can be obtained since they reduced the requirements to the vet badges from the expert badges.
What I do to help me get better is to join a squad and stay reasoably close to the squad leader. If I felt the squad leader was stupid or a worse player than me, I'd leave and join another squad when I could. I'd also chose a kit to help them. If they were spec ops I went support. If they were AT or Assualt and in a Tank or APC I would go Engineer to repair them. I also played a lot of commander. Squads that followed my orders got the UAV and Supply Drops.
As a result of the way I reward squads who follow orders, I try to follow the orders of who ever is commanding. Now I realize it can be impossible to follow orders at the moment they are given. And some orders could never be followed in a timely manner.
Ops Cheif has a great post from last year about orders so I won't go into more detail.
I've started a 2nd name and in 20 hours I have more points than I had in 60 hours on this name.
Your SPM is worse than mine. However, yours is better than mine was at the same rank.

I nearly got mine by suicide claymoreing on a karkand only server and I wasn't even trying at the start, just playing drunk BF2... I got 30 kills by the end, but 2 or 3 were from grenades. I was surprised I didn't get kicked from the server for TKing; I had tons of TKs. But meh, who on a Karkand only server cares about their stats...
My gear grind: Since the 1.4 patch I've only experienced a couple of server crashes, but one was when I had 58 commander points and the other team was down to less than 16 tickets. I would have finally gotten 100+ BR for MEC and the Golden Scimitar. Why doesn't the server crash in rounds when you have died 14 times and only managed to kill 4 people (3 of them on your own team)...
Ahh! That feels better. What a relieving thread this is. lol
what really grinds my gears is getting booted by the admin for no apparent reason with 10 tickets left before the end and loseing 148 points! MOTHER F***ING PEICES OF S**T !!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
......Now I feel better.
......Now I feel better.

What REALLY grinds my gears is that yesterday at 11:30 pm, when I finally got the chance to install some more RAM and test some BF2 "2Gb Dual Channel"-action, the Power Company cut the power for "maintenance" for ½ hour. And I had just powered up..
I need around tree fiddy.
you shouldn't of lost your points!? I've been booted loads cos I get frustrated and curse but still get what few points I got!!DeathdealerIRA wrote:

what grinds my gears is shooting point blank range with SA80 into the head and upper body of enemy support and the fucker kills me...sorry but thats fucking bollox!!! Yet I can kill assault players with a short burst long range!!?? And I know I was hitting him as the cross hair does that thing when your on target!!
also when you have clicked the box to get servers that have no vehicles and when you spawn YOU GET RUN OVER BY A GORRAM TANK!!!! thats somewhat annoying...
I play as insane ninja pirate terrorist barbarian sniper class (basically sniper with more up close knife and pistol kills) and i hate stabbing somone 5 times and then have them turn around and shoot me! I also hate shooting somone in the back of the head several times with the pistol only to have them do the same thing a headshot is a headshot, i don't care if your wearing a kevlar helmet; if it does any damage at all your not going to be in the mood for shooting back! MINE IS AN EVIL LAUGH, NOW DIE!!!
me again...how fucking annoying is it to be switched from the winning team to the losing team which totally throws you off your game, that pisses me off and no reason was given and I hate that so much. if its to even up teams fine but no reason given. all I can think of was I accidentally TK'd some one then I found my self on the other side. if thats the case, what a wanker!!
was having a good game too...didn't help I was being a spaz and messing up my keys due to heavy fighting, want run so I go prone, want to get up use my scope for the SA80, drop a grenade instead of a med pack (no one around so that was ok)

squad up or create a squad... then all the blue players will be switched before you
so if you're in a squad you can't be switched over to other team?Septimius2 wrote:

if so thats damn handy to know cos I always forget to squad up unless playing with my mate and we use skype to chat as headphone settings never seem to work via BF2
pretty much yup... i learned my lesson the hard way plenty times...
Gay little noobs who create a racist name for a squad like "Jewkillers" then they invite you in, leave, and ask an admin to ban you. I left the squad as soon as i saw the ban message, then i looked at the name of the squad. then in 2 minutes I see him do it again. then I tell the admin to kick his squad while he was still in it. Then he stopped or left, i wasnt paying attention.
It was quite amusing, helped me calm down a bit. I hate people that punish for bullshit TK's, or worse, that the TK even took place.A.HACKER wrote:

Got another bitch today: Noobtubers. I don't mind being hit with a GL, but to be hit point blank multiple times is just annoying.
When you and four other people on your team are out in the field trying to cap some flags while 28 rejects are on the carrier waiting for the J-10 to give them "happy bullets."
I really hate being a noob.
I dont really hate anything about the game, except the random crashes to desktop and unregistered hits with snipers (escpecially the bolt action ones)
