i noticed today that when the tampa map came up, the players dropped from 60 to 34. Apparently a lot of people feel the same way about the map.
Nevertheless, like a good soldier, i play through it.

When Tampa rolled around @ 3:55 PM today ...

When Tampa loaded the map went from 60 down to as low as 32.

By the end of the first round there were 46 people in the game and the Marines won the round 0-14. (On the previous map people were whining about stacked teams.

)

By the middle of the second round there were 60 people in the server and the Mec team won 80-0.

Sharqi, the next map, started with a full server.

While it loses players to start, Tampa seems to be capable of attracting and holding a full server. I'm glad you hung in and played the map ... it shaped up to be a hard battle.

The TTP server is always a great place to find good battles! :4

Still lost. First round was pretty close. Second round we got trashed.

But the highlight was killing BlueMaxox a several times as he attempted to take it back from us. Then he became the commander and ordered every soldier to gas station. Then we lost it for a while before we got it back again.

But you won Blue, even though you couldn't have Gas Station...

*laffing*...I knew you were testing that theory.....but here is the thing......that flag is the key to winning that map....yes we tried hard to get it....and I did notice that my side had no commander....so I applied the first game and I instructed the whole team to take that flag....once we did.....then I sent squads out to take neighboring flags and yes you got it back....but because we had the other flaggs...we had you surrounded....and I was laying artillery on the out skirts of the flag where you guys were trying to hide. The second game I applied as commander right off the bat...and instructed my team to take that flag first. and hold it. then I sent single squads out to capture neighboring flags....but with the instructions to come back to Gas Station. I used it to disperse my squads......but always.....had 2 squads defending. I also keep lots of supplies and vehicles dropped around the flag.

you have to remember that it's not just the flag....but who kills the most. killing makes tickets drop faster than anything. that is why you have to have a couple medics in your squad. The way I play that flag is 3 AT....1 support and 2 medics. Believe it or not I rack up lots of points reviving team mates and I am always encouraging my support guy to keep the ATs loaded. The other thing I do is continually watch that ticket count and spot the tanks coming in and from what direction.

Yes if I lose the flag I am bringing my team right back to you.....cause you stole a flag that didn't belong to you. Like I have said in other post...it helps to have an attitude that you are just not going to get beat.

For those of you that hate that map.....all you have to do is get a good squad that works with you and communicate continually....both with the squad and the commander. By focusing on the Gas Station you actually make the map smaller and lots more fun to play. It also goes back to the commander understanding the key flag on the map. There is no doubt that gas station flag is the key.

One other thing.....the ATs cut the balls off the tanks....when you focus on the Gas Station.....and you have the right number of ATs support and medics....the tanks become impotent.

Oh and Wolverine......you may have gotten my flag but I had the last laff.....cause my team won

That's what I said...

As for gas station being key, it is only key because it is easy to defend, and everyone and their mom wants to cap it, thus you lose a ton of tickets when you don't have it...

I usually never bother with gas station and make sure we have the flags around it instead. Village, south, and west. Ticketbleed. But with the rest of the team assaulting gas station in vain it doesn't matter. But Tampa is the only map I have a positive w/l ratio...

This is some disorders some dipshits may have when playing the game. Also, I modified some existing ones to make the thread easier to understand.

1. Impulse control disorder

This disorder will cause the player to teamkill players for no reasons, kick random players when they're doing nothing wrong and go mad when someone ask them a question.

2. Block disorder

Causes the person to block someone when they try to tell you something, or when they try to ask you a simple question that they need to know.

3. Mood disorder

Gets angry easily when someone gets vomited on, misses a charge, or when they spat on by a Spitter. .

4. Intermittent explosive disorder

Gets angry and goes into a rage when he dont get what he wants or when things dont go their way. Also bosses everyone around and sounds as if he has the real Intermittent explosive disorder

5. Learning disorder.

People with learning disorders does not know how to play the game 40-days after playing it and is to idiotic to learn. These types of people is under the age of 10 (can be older)

6. Flaming disorder.

Causes the player to Flames constantly and starts fights. Also uses the phrase "stfu" for unneccessary reasons. This disorder also known to cause the player to make lies about other players and never leave proof of them.

7. Mental Retardation

These types of player does not know the meaning of the game and often lacks common sense when working with others. Also, pick dumbass mutations on the blog posts and goes into a fucking RAGE when he isn't on the top of the list.

8. Panic disorder

Panics constantly when hearing a certain SI. Also shoots the car and then panics because he doesn't know how to avoid certain panic attacks.

9. Sleep/AFK disorder

Sleeps constantly while playing the game, also goes AFK when hosting the lobby.

10. Motor skills disorder

When playing on expert, these disabled bitches incaps everyone and then suicide. He is known to extremly SUCK at the game and then RAGE quit when things don't the way he wants it.

I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense at all.

Thread repetition disorder:

Making a thread whining about other players because of having been in a bad game even when there's 4-5 other threads on the first page doing exactly the same thing over the exact same kinds of players.
