Last few nights

**ninja|oaklandr** · 05-15-08, 08:04 AM

What has been going o the last few nights? I have never seen so many asshats. The force tking seems more than usual (I have seen a lot get booted by admins). I see a lot of names I don't even recognize. The night before we had 4 squads with 1 person for a round or two.

The squad I was in last night was taking flags left and right on Songhua and our teams was no where to be found defending them. One guy in the squad ended with 13 cap assists. 4 members finished in the top 5 and we still lost by 100. During that round we had 2 squads locked with 1 person and both were snipers.

I'm just wondering what happened. Did BF2 drop to the $2.99 rack? Are other servers shutting down? If school was out already I would have guessed that.

Full Moon maybe.

As for single man locked squads, I still don't see a reason for snipers/pilots to lock themselves in a squad by themselves. Yes, you may be off doing your own thing, but that doesn't mean you cant be in a squad with others and at least communicate.

The level of new asshats has seemed to hover to me.

My problem is with the people that I thought I knew, thought were cool, ended up being jerks.

One runs in front of my jet as I am taking off, maybe not so much a force tk, possibly just upset he didn't get it, and then punishes, I will look at KF1 in a new light. Some of the others punishing when it was clearly an accident, I drop some bombs on their team and you just happen to be in the middle, woops, obviously an accident but you punish anyways, thats a good way to make friends, especially with people that you have squaded with before and haven't ever had a problem with.

In their mind, they form a squad so they can ask for resupply from the CO whenever they need it. They lock the squad because they don't want others in there spawning on them and giving their leet / secret position away (like every possible position for a sniper isn't already known).

So a falling supply box is not as obvious?

Hehe true. I think your both right. My bet is: Someone doing this (locking a 1-man-sniper-squad) thinks he's clever and no more subject to beeing kicked off the server because he's in a squad.

Since this guy is at least able to communicate with the commander (which he usually doesn't), he could be seen a bit more useful to the team than someone not in a squad at all. But how useful is a lone sniper not communicating with at least 1 squad? In my eyes the overall advantage for the team with one or more "squads" like this is zero.

That should be normal here. You'll get over these dudes, it's normal, they arrive in periods you know.

Yes, I remember that round ninja. We were fyling around and capping flags in a chopper but our damn team could not hold on to those flags. So we ended up flying around in circles capping same flags at least three times and kept losing them just as fast as we capped them.
Who the hell knows what the rest of the team was thinking.
