BF2S Forums Aaaaa!!! They're AFTER Me!!!

Its wierd but sometimes, even if I play on a larger map, I bump into the same player a lot of times.
If I am better than this player I can imagine that he thinks that I am after him.

Actually, I like to pay attention to what killed me, more than who.  It gives me insight as to what I might be facing off against when I respawn.  Killed by tank? Spawn AT or SP ops.  Killed by sniper? Spawn as a sniper or a PKM to take em out.  Killed by Helo? Get a Sniper or find a jet/helo. 

Now....  as to the "who shot me".  If I notice a particular name repeatedly showing up as the delivery guy of my 15 sec time out, I make a mental note-to-self to pay it back to him.  This is usually vehicle specific.  If some guy in a chopper is harrasing me or is on a point spree, I tend to seek his demise.  Same with the jet guy or the tank guy, it's just easier to remember a name if you associate it with the same vehicle.  Call it karma.

The exception is this....  Snipers.  The sniper kit is one of my favorites and I take a bit of pride in it.  If I'm killed as a sniper, by a sniper, I go nuts.  I gotta find that guy and flank em and give him some long distance bullet love too, and then again, and again, and it gets alittle dark after that and I don't remember much.....
G-d forbid I get dropped twice consecutively by the same sniper.  I'll get a tank/plane/helo and terminate him with extreme prejudice. 
Before you imagine some red-in-the-face, white knuckled, cursing like a sailor cyberfreak, understand that this is all in fun.  I may hunt you down, but if you get the better of me, I'll always laugh.....    and learn for next time.

Go on the same 24/7 Karkand server day to day

whore Armor

see how many people switch to AT just to get you


Seriously I've been noticing this in the last week as i've revisited Karkand in armor. Most of the MEC starts out as Support, with maybe a couple AT guys. By the end of the game, I've had a half dozen guys spawning as AT and calling me out. I've had "not you again" typed on screen because I kept killing the same guy the day before. sure enough I can kill a guy 5 times in a row with armor, and he'll keep spawning back as AT just to get me. It happens.

I was commanding on Karkand at Suburb, beside the HJ-8 TOW thats there. Scan brought up incoming car. Jump in the tow, killed 3 in the HMMVV and one that jumped out with a nice little burst to the face.

For the rest of the round that squad kept trying to track me down. Ended up with 18-0 as commander of the winning team.

I have no idea if I bump into people repeatedly if I stay on one server for several rounds. All that registers in my mind is "Ah. Red. Die."

I do switch kit class dependant on the situation, though, naturally. I just have no idea who's killing me, name-wise, and feel faintly amazed that people have the time to look and see! I'm usually far too busy to use much of the interface save the minimap, to be honest. It's just visual verification (because of that blasted red-blue bug) that makes me look on occasion if something doesn't look exactly right on first impression.

Also, I almost never ever play sniper online, essentially because I'm shite at it.

Or

'Ah. Red. Die'

You were punished for a teamkill!

Hunting down people is a lot of fun... !
I do it mostly with sniping, especially those neat, little,cute privates fresh out of basic. Most of them have no clue where the first shot came from and they prone instantly on the spot instead of running for cover...Eeeeasy kills !

A lot of fun is hunting down enemy snipers, white knuckles and red head included if he gets me first...Grrrr...

Too much spawncamping is almost as bad as having a high

I bang my head when I see posts like this. Those idiots that like to sit in one spot and whore armor are ridiculously easy to kill.

Spawn one flag back, as an at trooper. Even if they are deep into the fog, they will be easily as hell to spot from the constant muzzle flashes.


Aim above them so they dont get the lock on tone. If they are humping a crate, put the missile into the hull as close to the crate as possible. Splash damage should take care of the crate.

If its an apc, just dip your aim at last instant and slam it into hull. Repeat once to put apc in flames.

If its a battle tank, aim to the side then slame it into the treads on front/back. Repeat once to KILL the tank.


If you are talking about infantry spawn camping, replace at trooper with support/sniper.

Paranoid people is also followed/hunted from time to time ;-)

I guess it must be a sniper thing. Also a 'I have a connection that isn't as unstable as a nuclear reactor with ice for a radiation shield' thing, I suspect. I don't often get to play on the same server many times, since pings vary far too much. Sigh.

It's never personal for me. I sometimes want to clear out a sniper who had got me earlier, but wouldn't mind joining his squad the next round if we were in the same team. In fact I'd probably already have forgotten his name by then.
