Insurgents Stealing Hat kits/Sniper kits/ALL KITS!

[-.-Maverick-.-]

Yea its certainly rewarding, but I would never do that just because Im too lazy to switch two times only for a HAT kit. That is a PAIN IN MAH ASS!

Right so those clans who join half way through a match and are stuck on opposite teams should wait 5 mins when they switch to spawn because 1 idiot guy stole a rocket kit which hasn't even been proven... People want to play the game, it takes long enough to join a game and then you want them to wait 5 more minutes to play!

Personally I haven't seen this happen (yet), but a I've been told by a person I trust that it happens. He saw HAT kits getting rolled to taliban side on Archer.

Remember that it's been less than a month from the release and we're already starting to see this kind of behaviour and over time it will become more popular.

It's been barely two weeks, not a month (check your calendar) and it may become popular or it will die down when the new release hype goes away and idiots leave for vBF2.

It is not a tactic, it is not fair and I will certainly not try it. I'm certain that 99% of admins around would swiftly deal with these idiots.

@Moon Chaser, is it really that punishing to play with a regular kit for a couple of minutes? Haha, come on!

Its not just that think about for example pretend the game is insurgencey and im on the insurgent team and my friend has just joined the game and he is on blufor so now i want to join blufor. Now think about how much intellegence i have in my brain i know exact location of caches and unkoewn caches hideouts where snipers are hiding and maybe plans of squads.
If i told this to team we would completley kill them.


What im trying to say is people should not switch team at all think about how much knowledege i had about the enemy team and this what people actuallly do they switch team tell vital info about where everthing is so thats why it should by 5 mins.

Ha on Archer that would be jokes! You could give the Taliban 2 Hats, 2 AAs and a couple of other LMGS and LATS and they would be unstoppable.

might try that sometime.... jks!

This will happen with players whether they switch or not they will give up intel... This happened on a server I was on.

I noticed the caches were getting destroyed within minutes of eachother with out any intel, i thought to myself this is very strange and checked the player listings, it turned out [MIF] had an APC squad on blufor and one member on insurgent... I pulled them up on it they said the RPG's drew them in to each cache and their player switched from ins to blufor, now they would never admit to what they had done but we lost around 4 caches in as many minutes.

i love the 5 minute kit life. However, I have also noticed people doing this on our server (HARDCORE) and it makes me livid. Not all the other Hardcore admins would agree with me on this, but I'm kicking anyone who takes a HAT out of main on insurgency and banning people that lose them purposely. Not all of our admins will kick you for grabbing a hat, but I will. It is the only way i know to slow this exploit that is becoming much more common.

IT IS NOT REALISTIC FOR INSURGENTS TO BE ABLE TO RE-ARM BLUFOR KITS OFF A CACHE. Why and how would an insurgent have a spare Javeline, 5.56, 7.62X51, .338, LAW, At-4, etc...... you get my point. I hope to hell that we are striving for realism, not an arcade game that is even for everyone.

ive never seen somebody using this "exploid" but i think it isnt such a big deal as everyone is saying.
Its pretty easy for an admin to check the kits of the bluefor and to keep an eye on the guys taking HAT kits.
On the servers i usually play, whenever there is a marine taking a HAT kit its triggering a big discussion about that.
And if there were evidence, that this person is going to give away the kit to the ins it would be prevented by an admin.
