Naw, that still makes you a total noob.


Until you find your own style. MEDIC is probably the best kit for most maps. ANTI-TANK on big Armor maps like Smoke Screen, Tampa, Zatar.

Until you actually learn the weapons, you're going to get your ass handed to you ... a lot! After all, you're going against players with 5 years of experience.

Apologize for TK's and don't take matters into your own hands if you get TK'ed - call for an Admin if you think it's egregious.

Oh ... and Welcome!

I love newcomers to the game! Gives me hope that I'll still have someone to play with 5 years from now.

Joining a squad and spawning green will be the best thing you can do. Like Tmh said, Medic will probably be the best kit to start off with, but try your hand at all of them. Anti-tank is the other obvious choice.

Welcome.

Don't listen to a word these slod-jockeys are letting loose from their gaverty-sumps. The kit for you is Support.

If you can learn to fight and kill with the Support LMGs, then you will have no trouble with any of the other weapons. Add in body armor to keep you more(ish) alive, infinite ammo and grenades on tap, and tons of points to earn by throwing ammo boxes (ammo boxes collect instantly on touch (even in the air), and always give you a point no matter how much or how little ammo is replenished; medic boxes take 2 seconds on the ground to "plant" and become usable, and they only give you a point if you heal more than 50% of a soldier's HP), and you have the perfect noob kit.

Everyone thinks "hurr durr Medic and AT only", but they only think that until they're out of rockets and nades (which for some people is about 30 seconds after spawning). Then they'll wish they had a competent Support tagging along.

Immortalized for all time. Civil, unfortunately, spent a little too long next to the DU rounds and now he's... well, he's just a little special.

PS: PKM sucks. Stick to the defaults.

Hi MadMax (grape) - Welcome to the most teamplay-oriented and skilled (imho) BF2 server on this side of the net -- we play punkbustered, ranked, unlocked, full vehicles, FF-on, squads required, no-uncap-rule, no-jet-queue BF2 with full official map rotation, just like the way EA intended!

Off the top of my head, iamjohnnyrico, visuvius, GrandMasterGuess, (4)manno, dex71, h7g6f5, deathgodusmc, cougar38, reject-wolf, and Mr_Harry_Pelotas* are great to squad with (when they're not flying), provided you can load the map quickly enough before their respective squads fill up. Otherwise find any other non-airwhore from {HRD}, [IRON], [SsT], =PHX=, or =F=*. You might even catch 11Bravo if you're lucky on the nights he has nobody to play PR with...

Shoot ya on the the server!

*the order I have listed them in no way reflects my personal preferences
