Who are you?

Taken from another forum, but i thought it was really funny:

-The Point man
A.K.A. RAMBO- The guy who rushes headlong into the enemy. Has little sense of self preservation. Always the first in usually doesnt live to leave. this guys only purpose is rushing into the enemy lines trying to cut a swath through and hes going to take as many guys with him as he he can..... Constantly flying all of the place from point to point trying to defend and capture. always rushing alone in rush offense (much to the annoyance of teammates) and still rushes forward in rush defense....

-The Sniper ♥♥♥
A.K.A wookie- This guy only plays for KDR and it means everything to him so he can brag about being 1337 to freinds. also trying to become the next youtube super star to bad he cant shoot to save his life (literally) on conquest sits 10 miles away from the action and goes 3/0 jaratees his teammates off on rush offense by not rushing. still as useless as ever on defense because he cant aim.......

-The Pro Sniper
Unlike the wanna be above this guy can actually aim and consistently scores headshots. much to rage of the guys who just had there heads taken off. has montages on YouTube and very popular to bad he cant upload more because hes always being kicked.

-The silent pro
Vetern battlefield player who comes and completely ****s s*** up and proceeded to get kicked.....

-The team leader
Guy barks out orders in chat nonstop rages at every little his team doesnt do right and makes tons of excuses to make up his own poor score.

-The try hard
Your team lost all caps within the first 5 minutes and his being base ♥♥♥♥♥ hardcore but this guy is still trying to encourage the team believing you guys can still come back

-The rocket spammer
Spams rockets non stop makes annoying remarks "u mad?" "QQ moar" and tries to justify it as taking skill with horrible arguments "its apart of the game" "if you cant beat em join em"

-The average joe what more is there to say?

-The vehicle ♥♥♥♥♥
camps the helicopters and jets all match long will even resort to Team killings just to get into the jet often dies on takeoff or less than 3 minutes later. and proceeds o repeat the process.

-The pro helicopter/jet pilot
joins the game get in a jet/heli and dominates the whole making the other rage non-stop usually gets kicked mid game....

Pretty much sums me up. I prefer to work alone ;)

Not to sure... i'l be interested to know myself. I think the bulk of our server fill's come from Quick matching.

Yeah would be interesting to find out how the Quick Matching works,

Surely it will only put people who click Quick match on the server if the server has people playing on it?

More than likely looks at server location > ping > player limit > current players and trys to dump them on something with enough free slots?
 
And for people wanting to know what options you can change on the server, here is the list from multiplay startup.txt

I would class myself as pretty experienced with mortars now and have the map knowledge to know who to target where and I can categorically state they are not good for farming kills.

I have spent an entire map spamming mortar shells and finished halfway down the Scoreboard. I also do far better K : D wise by not using mortar and getting into the mix.

It's also a terrible way to get points.

My top game with mortars was with 30 kills, 0 deaths and around 5k points on Bazaar. Spam common choke points, if your team plants on mcoms, spam around them and enjoy your free kills.

Especially effective on hardcore mode.

After that game I realised how ridiculous it was, so I stopped and went back to assault.

What mouse key's are you trying to map?

I've got jump bound to mouse3, melee bound to mouse4 and prone to mouse5

All working fine.
Click to expand...

Odd, I'm using MX518 trying to map 3 to reload, 4 to melee and 5 to grenade. I only tried it once, so will have to see if it has corrected itself. In Logitech Setpoint those mouse buttons are set to "generic key".
 
Mortar spammers aren't really an issue since they are big red sitting ducks. The clever people are the ones who fire one mortar shell and then move location and repeat. A lot harder to detect, but in general I don't see a problem with mortars.
 
Anyone had issues with the accelerate keys unbinding or jeeps going at 2mph when going forward?

I've been fine driving tanks, then map changes and I can't move forward, so I end up having to reverse everywhere.
 
Yeah I can comment on snipers in BF3, **** them all in the arse! Proning in hard to spot places with their flash suppression gadget attached.

Thanks for that info, its always good for me to hear these things outside of TFU.

We don’t actually have a rule against using mortars, nor would i wont to limited items that DICE have put in the game. However if someone is constantly spamming them and doesn’t seem to use anything else then we’ll warn a few times and then kick. If a member or admin threatened to ban you then like anyone who uses our server you can report them on our forums under “admin abuse section” and I’l take the necessary steps. All we want to do is give people a server which is fair and not make them rage quit :D

I for one use the RPG’s, I don’t spam it, however if there is a room full of people then too right I’l use the RPG!!

I also got almost banned on the TFU server for using a mortar. Wasn't aware I couldn't use them, although I wasn't using them for random kills but used them tactically in Rush around the objective so my team could rush in, which I think is quite legitimate. I stopped using it as soon as people pointed out the "rule" (which it now turns out doesn't actually exist). A few games later I also saw other people use it themselves. Oh well, as someone said it takes skill to use effectively and if not it won't get you many kills/points at all (except perhaps on the Seine map). It should be easy enough to counter them.

One funny thing I notice with players who take themselves too seriously is how they start calling you all kinds of things if they get killed themselves. The other day I was parachuting from that rock, had my parachute open quite early, saw 2 guys on the roof so fired an RPG at them, killing them both, to then go on downstairs and plant. Of course I was a COD noob for doing that...

Any snipers with comments on the game? I normally play Sniper in BF2 - Is it still fun? :)
Click to expand...

I would say yea.

But maybe its its the reverse. I hated playing sniper on BFBC2, mainly becuase I never felt like I was contrubuting to the teams objective, but in this game, when defending, I'll start as sniper untill the map turns in to a more mid to close range battle.
 
I got called a pistol noob the other day... for switching to my pistol and killing a sniper close range.

wtf?

Some people just suck, and call you noob for anything, its stupid, but not as stupid as they are :D
