It's nice when someone takes your medic kit to revive you with it, even more so when they swap it with another kit so you can continue to be a medic again.

I don't do this to people who I accidently tk who punish me instantly, I simply take thier medic kit (If I'm not a medic), drop first aid bags on their corpse, and walk away.

It's satisfying when you see "OMFG YOU NOOB YOU TK ME AND DON'T REVIVE ME OMFG" or similar. End of the day, don't ever punish accidental tk's if you're a medic or the guy who shot you is a medic.

thats why when im medic, i will normally use common sense. 'omg there is a dead guy there, did he just have a heart attack? or is there someone there that killed them?' well the answer usually is that there is an enemy there. so i look around and kill others first, then revive. or when i play with my friends, i tell them to cover me as i revive.

meh, it's basiclly all being said already

Medics are hated wen/if they're one of those idiots who likes to keep reviving a squad team mate somewhere he keeps getting killed, simply cos the medic is a tard n cares for nothing other then his own score

GL launchers are hated wen in the hands of a 'noob-choober', someone who will bunny hop all over th joint, firing the GL even wen he is within the blast radius himself, which makes his kill pointless as he gets +2 points for the kill, but -2 for the suicide

And karkand, well yeh, basiclly cos that map is where the above stupid behaviour is most prolific.

Other then the above mentioned situations, I hav nothing against any of that. I tend to play medic myself alot when on urban maps. I've also used the GL a fair bit, though to take out vehicles, or groups of infantry at range, otherwise I just shoot them. And well karkand is acctually one of my fav maps, though on occasion I have gotten pissed at it cos of tardish gameplay running rampant on it, but it is definately a fun map.

Why do so many of the people on these boards and on the game dislike :

Medics
Strike at Karkand
The grenade launcher attachment. (Is this frowned upon all the time, or just when its the only weapon someone uses?)

When i find i'm getting shot at, i tend to sprint to the nearest low wall, jump over it, and prone in the air. I do it because its pretty much what I was trained to do back when I was an Army cadet - but a few days ago i got bollocked for it by an enemy over the chat. Is this technique generally not ok?

Thanks.
1. Medics-  just too many running around.  too easy to get points(caps/kills/rev/heals)  Many stat padders play medic to kill/revive the same person again and again.
2. Strike is dislike and loved by the same people.  Is is a small map with a HUGE choke point where much rapeing goes on. 
3. The grenade launcher aka NOOBTUBE.  basicly it takes no skill to point and click at someone.  You dont even have to be close to the target.  Just lay that egg in the general area and BOOM.
4. Jumping in the air and going prone.  This is called Dolphindiving or Superman.  This will come to an end with the nest patch 1.2  These players are using the physics of the game to do things that are not possible in real life.  How many soldiers can or will jump in the air, go prone, and get a headshot on the way down?  there is also bunnyhopping.  Again with the unreal physics.

dont say things like "if its possible, i can do it"

yeah, in the game u can jump like a bunny and prone yourself while u are in the air after a jump, but do u think that's a real thing?



bunnyhopping and dolphindiving are exploits and the player that use this things are lamers, u can obviously jump when u are reloading under enemy fire or jump and prone yourself behind a low wall always when under enemy fire, but bunnyhopping or dophindiving when u are fighting is very lame

this game isn't a war simulation (like aa etc) but isn't also ut or quake, so play it in the right way, using that damn fucking assault rifle instead of noobtubing, C4ing, SRAWing everywhere like idiot that play ut or quake (nothing against ut or quake players)

i have tubed ppl, but only cause i needed AT time to get vet, and the DAO sux at long distances.
The pistol is of course preferable, but when u have Da Tube up for a tank and instead this bunny-jumping twit comes along, I always tube. Just to smite his faggy ass

Here we go with this "right way" bullshit.  Show me rules saying I can't do certain things.  I know some servers have rules like that, but in general, the only "right way" of doing things is to kill the enemy, no matter how and no matter where, plain and simple.

"I say old chap, all this jumping around just isn't cricket."

The right way is obviously to stand still or go prone while the other guy simply blows your head off I assume. Survival means nothing. I love people like this guy, they get all worked up about hopping and throw insults, "Use an assault rifle" I've got over 4k kills with an assault rifle heh.

I did have a .32 ratio on shotguns until I met these guys who simply go prone in close quarters all the time. Grow a brain 'tards going prone isn't the right way to fight either it simply gets you killed. Long range it works but 2 metres away... No.

i agree w/ u, in war always cheat, and what is EA gonna do about it? ban all weapons from bf2 just coz sum n00b says: "weapons are too powerful"

Everyone in this thread seems to be putting in their bitchfest on the "things looked down upon," but what matters is that you mr. newbie, know whats different in the online universe than offline. If you were waiting for someone to pass you, where would you be? Look at places where you would hide. If you can't kill the enemy with your first clip, they aren't going to wait for you to reload, what do you do? Pull out your pistol and rip into them, most people will either bounce around reloading or try to run, pistol whip him or knife him. There are set spawn points in this game, you will be killed as soon as you spawn sometimes, do not cry, spawn somewhere else and come back for them and get your vengeance. It's ok if you spawncamp, they can always spawn somewhere else, do not listen to people whine to you for killing them as they spawn, they think you should stand still and turn around so they can hit you in the head (twats). There are plenty of guns to use, you can use any of them; there is no wrong gun to use against someone and if they think a certain weapon shouldn't be used by you against them they can suck it. Find the gun you are most deadly with, if you are able to find your most compatible gun that you use the best out've all your weapon selections, then flow with it, make them suffer from your mad skill with it. Use vehicles to your advantage, don't leave tanks empty for enemies to use them (or any powerful vehicle for that matter), if you aren't using it they will use it against you, use any means necessary to stop them from getting the upperhand on you. Don't teamkill intentionally or admins on servers will most likely ban you very quickly. You should also try to avoid punishing unless its intentional, but thats just my thought; you COULD punish every time but everyone will dislike you. One last important thing I can think of right now would be, always aim for the brain, the faster you take out your opponent the less bullets you use and the faster you can move on to your next victim. Speed kills, literally.

And while you remember all that has been said, remember to have fun.
Do what ever it takes to kill the enemy and stay alive.
The only thing that pisses me off is people who spawn rape an uncap-able base.
If they are there to blow something up or steal a vehicle and you get in the way fair enough.
There is no better rush than stealing a Black Hawk from an enemy carrier after killing the 2 people in it, then off you go and pick up your squad.

well, don't pay any heed to people who dislike certain kits, maps or weapons

Why do they hate:
-Medics: They are basically self-healing assault classes that can magically revive teamates and get high scores

-Karkand: Because they suck at this map...  I personnally love it because there are no freakin choppers raining constant death - it's basically an infantry map, so infantry skills are very useful... probably those karkand haters don't have much teamplay or infantry skills, they're mostly just jet people or tank people or so....

-Grenade launchers: same principle as karkand.  It's very powerful it kills in one shot and you have to own some sort of aiming skill to effectively use them... It can clear out jeeps easily and one shot can kill an entire group if aimed correctly without having to worry about getting shot....

People can't stand what they can't beat...  It's as simple as that...  People sometimes call me a cheater, a medic whore, asshole noob shithead.....  But I don't care.  That simplymeans they suck.  Maybe I am just lucky at certain moments - we all are -.  For instance I know certain people in my clan that get pissed off if you shoot them in the back.... Why the F not?  If you are running in the wrong direction and are on the enemy team I will not hesitate to fire, I won't wait till you turn around and get a chance to kill me...

And one other thing:

Why would Dice put weapons in a war game?  Simple:  So we would NOT use them.......

If you get owned by a "lame" tactic or weapon, get over it man....  I may get upset if I get killed by a GL, but I won't call them names, I just blame myself for putting down my guard....  As long as there is no obvious cheating involved, I don't even frown upon Mi-28 "whores" in sharqi, or Black Hawk "whores" in mashtuur...  Just don't get in their way or kill'em before they kill you....

Why does everyone complain about the grenade launcher? Sure, it's an annoying gun if you are killed by them, BUT it's the only thing that makes the assault class worth playing, don't forget that dudes.
And also stop complaining about people who bunnyhop and dolphin dive with any weapon and kill you while in the air, they won't be able to do this with the next patch.

To the author: Were you playing SF by any chance last night? I distinctly remember getting grenaded a lot by you (I'm not bitter or anything). I think you may have even got one of the best shots of the game off. Three of us with one grenade from the top balcony on the palace on Warlord?

Grenades: Nothing wrong with a bit of grenade action, although I personally suck so bad with the launchers I don't use them that much anymore. That and I love Shotguns/ The PKM/The G36E. Though I recommend trying a different class to get a bit of variety in your game. Support, despite it's obvious flaws is great fun to play on Sharqi or some of the SF maps.

Medics: Even though I recommend trying different classes, don't feel forced into because you're being called a medic whore. I have been called a "Shotgun whore", a "Jeep whore" and a "Rocket whore" before now. My response? Ignore them. Someone pointed out before, people get mad at what they can't beat. Though how anyone couldn't beat me with an A rocket is beyond me. Provided you're having fun, that's all that matters.

Karkand: It can be seen as a cheap way of racking up kills if you rape the spawn by the hotel in a tank. But aside from that, this map is one of the better ones, great fun to be had bombing around in jeeps, dodging past friendly tanks, screaming away from hostiles and running over lots of hapless suckers stuck in the middle of the road.

When it comes down to it though, do what you find fun, so long as it's not clearly going to spoil someone else's game: I.E: TKing. Then ignore anyone who complains. Afterall, you bought the game as well.

Wasn't me... I can't hit anything with the GL!

Since you are new to online gaming, let me give you this piece of advise that will keep you into online gaming......

In general, people are assholes.

Fact: Online, people ARE assholes and will bitch piss whine moan and act like the biggest tuff guys you have ever meet.

Ignore them, as long as you are having fun (And not being a prick) your cool.

Again, have a good time, it is called a game :-)
I think grenade launchers only become a "noobish" weapon when the idiot takes himself with it him that is just stupid.
