Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

Euro force (yes, i like it!) great wall map is done well. its infantry and tanks, but if the infantry stay on the walls, they get great infantry fighting, and vehicles cant hurt them! well, except vehicle drops! ouch!

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

After almost a year of playing im getting frustarated because

If u dont have a:

1 Helo
2 armour(tank or apc)
3 jet

forget the idea of getting a medal:cry: on any map:evil:
even karkand the medic will not finish in top 3 because of armour spawn killers

so what do u do?theses people are hogs and killing each other for assets
thats why i am grunt 95% but when ur grunt its spawn (arty)die ,spawn(helo whore )die,spawn (spawn kill) die

im miss the old battlefield without arty and uav when the infantry had some chance of even playing

the game should have had 3 infantry maps(ranked)NO ARMOUR just jeeps

either that or 20 people wait for 1 tank:laugh:
maybe i should hog stuff (armour) and join the spawnkill but i wont never do that

just a rant from a shell shocked grunt:p
infantry people have ur say
beta AT?
handheld sams?
flack cannons?(AA )
do the grunts want or need more?
maybe im alone on this

I have finished 1st loads of times without whoring in a tank or chopper.

I like to go medic and take the G36E, run around like a headless chicken killing some peeps along the way and healing and reviving like hell.

I've done that with Engi too, killed plenty and repaired plenty.

I don't have many medals, but all of them have been gotten by owning Armour and Heli whores.

There is nothing I like more than getting a higher score than a tank whore and a winning commander in Karkand, with my pump 12 guage shotgun. That is some seriousboasting rights.

I also "whore" the medic kit in Sharki, as the MEC. However, while I DO get a high team score, with the right flags taken and such I can rack up higher kill totals than the tanks and the Heli's.
The AK is seriously damaging, especially with some hand grenade CF's.

While I will happily admit it is harder to get the medals, as it requires some specific avenues of fighting, you can rack up some serious scores without having to whore the tanks/apc/heli.

The best is when Sharki's MEC's have taken city entrance or Surveilance post. The bloodbath than ensues between those two and alleyway can rack up the score. The problem is when you have to run too far to get into combat if you die (Ie the US only have TV and Hotel or such.)

And on Karkand if Hotel or Square has been taken. It's a bit of a walk over if the Factory gets taken, but the melee around Hotel and Square can rack up a huge score.

It really helps if you have a semi decent medic around. Saves you 15 seconds.

However there are other places on other maps that means you can do the same. Basically anywhere on Wake if you've taken any land post.

Same with Dalian and Songuah and a couple of other have some very nice close quaters fights as well, but those are very specific flags that need to be taken.

I get first, second, and third all the time on foot. Not medic whoring either. Just kill a crapload and take a lot of flags. Easy.

seconded.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

I get a top 3 spot often enough too. But there is NO denying that vehicles are far easier to score top points in. They're more powerful by design but scored the same way.

I mentioned this in a post a week or two ago and got a bunch of vehicle whores responding. Atleast here the audience is a bit more sensible.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

I have never been not top 3 as medic on Kark...

Na, I guess that's a lie :p

But I do get it a lot when I do play Kark.

[Rambo]

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

well where i play i get 50 or so on kark(example)(say 4th or 5th)then theres a couple dudes that do the spawn armour thing and they get 90 every day.

Since im a auzzie theres not alot of choices for servers

im come first or second virtually every time on karkand in a tank or apc's
i even get way over 150 points per game.
think my highest score is some thing like 250+ on karkand just through being in a vechile.
an yes i do like the tanks before any one says tank whore,YES I AM lol.
but hey its part of the game.
i dont spawn kill if they spawn at the flag when im cappin it then they get shot,
im not goin sit there an let em cap the flag.
alot of people call tankers spawn killers when there takin flags! its easy t osolve SPAWN SOME WHERE ELSE problem solved.
which battlefield are you on about as bf2 has always had arty from the start.
i do think they should make some maps just for infantry as there are maps that dont have air vechiles.
if some body is in the que before me for a vechile i will stand back an let them take it,
ive noticed alot of people have started to tk for vechiles so in are server we have FF turnd off at all times we do leave splash an vechile damge on thou.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

Yep, infantry can make 1st place, although a good commander and good teamwork (if it exists) will always have commander on top.

Its not alot but i posted some settings which will obviously help you out as you infanrtry

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

I might suggest playing clan servers more also.

I know on our server we never have people waiting on tanks. Why? Simple, because we're all engineers and we live a long time because of it. People get tired of waiting too long and go fight.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

Not really bothered if I miss out on a medal, as long as I had a decent round I am happy.

Same here. Although I do agree I mostly finish the round 4th, 5th, 6th..... when there's a lot of spawn raping going in with APC's.

It all depends on your play style. If I'm playing on Karkand I never use tanks or APC's but if I'm on Kubra I will play an engy almost exclusively and tank whore as much as physically possible just because I have a much better time doing so. Lots of tanks, apc's and choppers round every bend.

I have found that there are a lot of advantages to running around on foot in Karkand though. You can cause a lot of havoc and clock up a lot of points just utilizing all the strengths of a class and sometimes keep up with the score rate of a tank whore. your life expectancy in a tank on Karkand is also a lot shorter than other maps I would say due to the amount of angles you need to cover and player hiding spots.

But for me it's all about fun, the medals are the icing on the cake.

Each to their own I say.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

Yeah 16 player maps can get boring. Especially as a sniper, 32 enemies running around and you've plenty to pluck :p unlucky sods..
Anyway, I tend to go "purpose kitted", especially with revenge. Guy on rooftop snipes me, spawn sniper, spot him, shot him dead, then make use of the kit and satchels before dead again haha. Probably by a tank heading towards our base, so spawn specs, do a mad evasive run to get behind him and chuck em on and boooom. APCs and tanks alike, so easy as a spec if your hidden. ATs suck, they needn ampin up, 3 shots to get a tank!? I'm spotted on the 1st shot, fluke to get a 2nd, then try duck out from another corner to get in a 3rd.. rare occasion..
Non tank map would be ok I guess.. But I make use of the UAV to much to neglect that..
All up, I feel your pain! spawn die, death streak of 17, spawn fags and unlucky squadleader spawns e.g. Oh look a grenade.. next to me.. yay. Or into a car and split second.. boom.
cool man.

Yeah, thats how I play. If I get sniped, I usually go snipe to take him out and either finish out the life as snipe or grab a kit. Also, when waiting to spawn after a death if I hear a tank coming up, depending on the situation (lots of cover, gonna spawn close to the armor) I'll either go AT or Spec... normally AT tho.

Also, I have many SS's of me getting golds as an infantry. I have 30 golds/60silver/60bronze and none of them are from flying. I only have 50 hours in armor too, so you can see that a good amount of them are from infantry... thats why I have a good amount less gold.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

Well I quite often get Gold as infantry on any city map, no need for a tank or helo.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

16 player maps are more fun that you might think.

You are spoiled by the 64 player maps, which are larger, to cater for the increased number of vehicles.

16 player maps are fun if your starting out and nothing more. First of all this normally means a smaller map which sucks right from that point. I used to not like playing dragon valley but since it has increased its size along with a few other maps it really kicks a$$.

Re: Sick of finishing 4th or 5th?

Finished top3 many times w/out being in a vehicle.

I'm pretty much dedicated assault, and have done top1-3 on maps like Sharqi, Karkand, Mashtur by basically killing and capping only. Sharqi64 seems to be the best for this, as the middle flags are all in close proximity.

Other methods: Medic on Karkand, Support on Karkand.
