Was playing a round on Gulf of Oman the other night, the server only had 10 or so people in (32 man server) and I joined a USMC side that had basically demolished the MEC by 100+ tickets.
There was only like 5 mins left in the round so I basically decided to sit it out, I spotted an empty Bhawk sitting on the flight deck and thought id go do an aerial reccie of the battlefield, maybe draw some fire or something useful and team orientated.
Anyways, as I’m heading out I saw a guy heading for shore in a boat, figured id help him out and swooped to pick him up, this guy had a good rank so I figured he would just jump in but instead he starts trying to evade me! Well, I thought I would persevere and kept following him at like 10 foot above. As he made landfall I thought he would look for the nearest transport but to my surprise he begins to hump it towards the airfield on foot closely followed at exactly 10 feet high by me.
Now I have read a few posts about people who get TK’ed silently following their killers to psyke em out and couldn’t help but start laughing myself silly at what this guy must of thought of his friendly “puppy dog style” Bhawk hovering above him the whole round. I can just imagine him cresting a hill and the MEC reaction to the one man and his helo coming to attach them. Cant help but wish he was off out to do a black ops / covet op behind enemy lines and theres me completely blowing his cover.

Just thought id share!

I think next time I do this (and I will), I will first appropriate an attack chopper from the enemy, allocate myself as the aerial attaché to the lowest ranking player on my side and follow him, laying so much smackdown on anyone who dare attack him that they avoid him like DEATH himself!

Im also tempted to start a new account and just specifically act as fire support for one randomly selected grunt per game. Support class only, only firing when they fire at a target, only getting in vehicles when they do etc...

Name: Random Support Guy, The follower, His Shadow, The Shadow, Freelance Firesupport

lol, what ya think?

man i would of loved to see that in action i bet you he was wondering why the chopper behind him was just following him and not killing him (if he hadnt realised you were friendly) or what the hell you were doing advertising his local lol but that second ID sounds like a fun idea might do that too for a bit of fun

I am gonna do the support guy for a couple o days (should be a chuckle! - will be on the EA UK servers) 

What name u think i should go with?

I tall ya i damn near crashed when the guy started evading me... zigging and zagging his boat...... was so funny.
Its hard work  trying to keep perfectly over the top of them but far enough away they can just hop in / you dont just crush them, i had to have a bizzare camera angle on (F10) to make sure i was positioned exacly right (and to check he wasnt trying to sneak off!)

Comeon then, name suggestions for Mr.Random Support guy....

My fav so far is :- His Shadow

I like "shadow", but I would call it "Your Shadow".

I think I am going to do that next round.  Be the Guardian Angel or God like the Navy SEAL's Movie, you know the sniper with the .50Cal that blows a hole through concrete walls.  LOL   

"Hello This is God.  You have an Non-believer about 2clicks from your location.   stand still while I blow him away." 

LOL

I think it works better with a medic (his own personal Jesus Christ) or support (every time he takes 1 shot at something u take 50 ) but i guess GOD with a 50 cal sniper next to hims not a bad idea either.

Im going for support class and "Your Shadow" as a name !

Good look and happy n00b guarding!

Hehehehh

Played my follower account yesterday but damn its hard to stay with some random person as you have no real way of knowing where there gonna spawn! I took to spawning on one man squads but damnit that just felt like squad play (which was actually really fun to do as a n00b looking account! - People were helpfull! instead of just wanting to kill me)
I notice that as a private people tend to relax a bit when there trying to kill me and give me the chance to get the first shot in - got accused of cheating on my first round of Karkand as i was a private at the top of the leaderboard, as infantry only with the standard m16..... priceless

(need to check Your_Personal_Shadows stats as i bet there actually pretty good ... damn this blocking program my company runs will not allow me access to game sites!)

Update

Your_Personal_Shadow has been put back on the shelf, not retired..... but his following spurs have been hung up for now.

Following several rounds i have found that if he makes any sort of kill with the lowly rank he has i get immediately accused of hacking and a kick vote promptly ensues.

I have also noticed that im just too damn competative and if someone kills my lowly ranked new guy, well, frankly, i just wanna go get me some payback.

Many maps are just too big to effectively follow random non squaded player and following a squad leader is just not that unusual (i hear it does happen on some servers?!?!??!)

Still, when the need arrises, the severs are empty, and if you know where to find him - maybee you can hire -
Your_Personal_Shadow
