People are disregarding the point of this game

[duderanch12]

Ever since we got past the 0.8 hump I've been seing a high increase in 8 year olds, people with no mics, squadleaders with sniper kits, medics not healing (not knowing how to heal) chopper pilots who cant get off the landing pad, people who get sniper kits but dont know how to use them.

Above that, rudeness has shot up..in general on the servers its "FUCK OFF NOOB" Or rather then saying, "Mate could you please no get the humvee, we are using it" Its "Oi, dipshit nOoOb, piss of thats our humvee" *gets in humvee, TKs the victim by running him over*

On top of that, theres waaay less tactics being used. There needs to be serious punishment for TKing. Im seeing grenades lobbed everywhere now with no consideration for collateral damage.

Going back to Mics, Either no one talks in a squad, or I get a green message *sorry no mic* but half the time the person with no mic is the squad medic, lmg kit or even the squad leader...







Is this because PR has gotten alot more publicity and all the BF2 COD4 kids are like ooooooo GunZZZ, and they dont give a bats ass about the point of the game, only there kill count?

Its a nightmare to admin PR atm, passworded servers ftw.

-My only advise to you would be to locate better servers or play at different hours than you are now, it's about the only thing you can do. How many Australian servers are there, by the way?

It's like this on every server at the moment, you have to stick it out, like the rest of us do. If you do play on Australian servers I can guarantee you this is a far shot of what it is actually like, people talking to that like each other on bigD would be removed instantly. Also, I'm guessing your one of the people who punishes every time your accidentally killed?

I understand your angry at the moment because hey, the game just isn't played like it used to be played. bigD is holding a very large campaign soon, why don't you sign up to that when it comes out? Anyway, most of the stuff you claim just wouldn't go unpunished on our servers.

*This is of course if you play on Australian Servers :P"

[duderanch12]

no, I dont punish all the time for accidental TKs.

I agree i exaderated what I said a little, but you get the gist of things

[joethepro36]

I agree it's worse than ever at the moment. Since I've been here (.5) the period after release where teamwork and gameplay goes out the window has increased over time. I'm starting off squads and at points yelling at people to follow my bloody orders (usually followed by a swift kick).

Here's a case in point of a pretty bad encounter (the guy responded and spoke fluent english):

* = player

"Right nice work getting the aa up, * man it please"

2 minutes later: "Hey * I told you to man the aa"

Another minute later: "Jesus christ, fine (other player) man the aa"

10 minutes later, across the map and advancing into enemy territory:
"Hey * I want you to take point, get in the alley and move ahead"

15 seconds of staring later: "Hey * get in the alley please, I can't take point"

10 seconds later, temper is mounting: "* get in the alley, take point, MOVE"

10 seconds later: "God damn it, get in the alley or get out of the squad"

5 second pause and then he gingerly goes into there. I foillow up from behind in frustration and the alley is perfectly clear. My clan member on mumble says to me "they're fucking useless, eh?"

I set a rally and order the squad north, we get contact within 30 seconds. I bunker down into some cover and start shooting. A nade lands next to me and I run, but it goes off and I get friendly fire damage from it.

"God damn it, don't throw nades at me, they're not at my position"

I had the enemy position marked with an attack marker.

10 seconds later a nade lands next to me.

Needless to say:

* teamkills joethepro36

Kicks * from squad.

I raged so hard that after about another half hour of continuely lukewarm gameplay I quit.

It's happening all the time, squadmates who are generally crap and don't help each other out.
Twice in a row (start of a round wise) I had a guy "claim" on voip autorifleman even when I said no because I had already assigned it to a clanmate, (random player) takes the autorifle kit. I'm a kick friendly guy so it wasn't too bad but jesus, the cheek on some people!

The release is better than ever as always, don't get me wrong. But bloody hell, the players are worse.

Yes.

Alot of it is due to EA putting out that damn GET PR NOW! Message. Big mistake. Word got out, and all the kiddies who picked up PR started telling their friends. Eventually, I think they'll all be driven out come 2 more releases.

I also had an annoying as hell encounter the other day. We had a JoeBumbleF*ck medic the other day on Korengal. After getting wounded in a firefight, we're all getting healed up.

I was still bleeding out, I call out to Joe many times over the ComRose "NEED MEDIC!" He responded by running around healing OTHER squads, instead of getting his own squad patched up first (oh, he had no mic, and didnt communicate via text at all). So eventually after much bitching by the entire squad, he comes over to me. And stands there with his medkit out next to me.

Apparently, he had been running to heal all the other squads and not knowing he had to hold down left click to heal with the kit. Long story short, after about 6 attempts at telling him what to do with the kit, he stood there like a retard. The rest of our squad then proceeds to gun him down and kick him out (so he'll have to spawn at main, a long ways away from us )

and people who dont know left to right
