Get yourself into a clan or community mate and get on some form of voice chat and it a different game

On a random public server everything you say is true, but its much more enjoyable when you have even 6-8 players of the same team who are all talking to each other,

If we have even 4 of us coordinating and talking together the side we are on rarely lose, its all about the comms

On the Nam map earlier, i forget its name, but on the third point there is an iron gate with tank traps and i watched 3 engies spam mines behind the gate that the tank cant come through, WTF!

That and watching 7 people waiting for the chopper to spawn, and the attacking team camping is just :rolleyes:
You can tell after 2 mins into each round what kind of team your up against, its not about being "strategic or tactful" it about noobs wanting a K/D ratio and nothing else. You can finish top of the table every round with a poor K/D, as long as your willing to plant and die to win the match

Dj_Jestar, seems all about your ping, either that or your gfx drivers, but if thats your ingame ping its high

Here's a crazy idea... suck it up. Not everyone wants to play a strategic/tactful game. Not every public server game is a clan match. A lot of people like to just point and shoot and don't actually give a stuffing about strategy.

I'm not one of those, and hopefully never will be, but at least I recognise that when the majority of the server are just playing the simple game of shooting that I, as someone wanting to play a strategic game, am in the minority and any attempts by me to change their mind will just be a woeful rant on the internet.

:

EDIT: Oh and the "basic training" idea stinks. America's Army did it, and it solved nothing but gave everyone a headache as they had to spend a day or two doing arbitrary "training" that everyone just ignored/forgot.

If all someone wants to do is run about shooting things and not bother about objectives , then why not play team deathmatch instead of something like conquest? It's a bit like going into a football match and then kicking the ball off the pitch all the time because all you want to do is kick a ball.

So they should **** off and play COD.
 
On a different note..

I've got a C2D E6600, 2GB RAM, GTX460 (2GB) and the game stutters. A lot. It's on the lowest settings for everything. In-game ping is circa 250 (I believe it calculates including performance?)

I'm surprised that it stutters as much as it does, I mean.. that's not exactly a pitiful machine, not the best, but far from worst :) Does anyone else experience the same?

2gb of ram?

what is this 2005?


He's on Minecraft, he ragequit after i shot him a few times with a Neostead :D

Rifleman on the other hand just raged until the round ended and i swapped team :p

I hate you and your shotgun :mad:

Hah, i said that about 30mins ago on the same server!. Everyone was just running towards the check points going gun ho without any support for their team!. I was in a tank and waited for a gunner, not one person got in not one engineer stayed with me they all just ran off!. Same with a Jeep, Beep Beep get in!, nope off they ran.

You get moaned at if you drive off, you get ignored when you stay to pick up other players ( vehicle ), so which is it to be? :|
 
add another 2 gig and it should be fine.

what res you run it at?

1900x1200. Been wanting to add more RAM for a while, but have had other priorities. RAM usage never goes above 60%, though CPU is a constant 100% when in game.

It's a moot point at the moment, as I have just gone to play a game only to find the whole system is dead anyway. Think the CPU has died. Restricted to my laptop for a good few weeks until I have some cash to spare I think :)

^ Best Game?, well for me it's a cross between this and left 4 dead 2 as i play that a lot too!. However this was the only game ever to stop me from playing battlefield 2 :p

Its a nice thought but then they lose the obvious advantage of playing Rush/Conquest like TDM, which is they can tell where there enemies are coming from. SQDM actually requires something more than camping and some iota of awareness which a lot of people clearly lack.

I hate you and your shotgun :mad:

:D

That was a good round. Though tbh i just think the rest of your team was abysmal. On the last 2 sets of MCOMs i was basically wandering around behind you all after casually blasting my way in from the side. Didn't help that a lot of people on mumble seemed to agree 1 guy was aimbotting too.

The best bit was looking round the side of a building to see Rifleman bouncing down the street, then shortly after heading round a couple of buildings and kneecapping him again :p

Edit: Seriously how the hell is the stats server this broken? Most of the stats its displaying for weapons aren't even mine! Apparently i have 40 somet kills with Avtomat and have it platinum, same with AK.

With the new vietnam map, will it just become available as soon as we hit 69 million?

Should do, says this on the page for it "This remastered version of the map Operation Hastings unlocks as soon as your platform reaches 69 millions".

Would not surprise me though, if there are problems with it once we hit 69 million, that only get resolved once the consoles catch up. Can't have the pc looking better than them.

WE'll be waiting for ages then.

33,655,199 / 25,231,720 / 65,813,394 team actions so far (X/3/PC)

might be to do with the monitoring of stats for the Hastings unlock, but they don't want to say because of the inevitable back lash.
 
How can people be this incompetent? We've got tanks everywhere... nobody else is trying to shoot them. We've got MCOMs to defend? Everyone is sat at the spawn BEHIND them. MCOM got armed? Well they went to defend it... sorta... then after it got destroyed the ENTIRE team was sat in its general area with absolutely no one trying to defend the other MCOM (a good 60 seconds after it blew up) so im left doing it on my own only to be killed by the servers dodgy knife hitreg that lets people kill me despite being 2 metres away.

Didn't they monitor things anyway?

Midnight you're an evil *******.

Lol, i think we have about 5 of each others pretty much all from that 1 game. Mostly i never get chance to knife you since you're too far away sprinting with the Lightweight kit :p

I doubt it.

I dunno, i know CoD monitors random things, although then again they give it feedback into the game (as if anyone really cares, lol).

Nah going to bed now. 3 servers, 2 incompetent teams and 1 chokepoint cluster**** (Port Valdez 2nd and 3rd points really are dreadful) are enough for now. Only about 250 kills to go on the Neostead, then i have to start getting myself killed when i switch to the USAS and Saiga :p
