Nobody likes to die in BF2 but do you have some strategies that involve sacrificing yourself?
a) Attracting the attention of a tank/APC so that your squaddies can flank and destroy (same with a gunship and 2 jeeps).
b) Clearing claymores with your medic buddy behind you.
c) C4'ing when your squad is in trouble and you haven't time to get clear of the target.
d) Causing a head-on crash with a vehicle speeding in the opposite direction (you can't resist steering toward them).
Any others that you can think of?
A: Yes. Although usually I'm AT, so it's attracting their attention to hunt me down because I just thwacked them with a rocket. Only half the time I WIN now, which is scary.
B: Not INTENTIONALLY. But I do it with idiots as medic. (Where 'idiot' is 'whoever goes charging in when I wave them through first'.)
C: Suicide runs on APCs, baby! Although those are more because it's an incredible rush to do som whether I live or die.
D: Compulsion. Especially if it's loaded with C4.
I piss off choppers with anything to hand because they get so hillariously PISSED at my antics. Just the other day I faced down a strafing run of rockets while emptying my PKM at close range into the cockpit and belly. He was smoking when I died.
Earlier in the day, I'd got him down to almost dead with a Vodnik before he realised I was less annoying and more actually skilled with mounted guns.
Suicide charges all the way. I run into groups of 5-6 people, and if I have my DAO12 and they're spread out, I can keep running around and possibly survive, too.
I occasionally throw myself in front of friendly tanks to fix mines before they run over them, risk my ass to dance on the mines to show where they are (can real AT mines take being shot, grenaded, jumped up and down on, and kicked?), and take out bridges while underneath them, knowing I'll be confronted by an angrily floating tank with no defense against it.
I can't help thinking that I'm a very heroic player. I'll risk obscene danger and stupid odds for a tiny chance to succeed, knowing that when it does pay off, it makes me feel immortal and omnipotent.
