(I posted this on the GFAQs forums too, so for those who read both this will just be a repeat, but I feel the need to rant in multiple places about this :p).
I swear, I don't know how people can complain about the Voss when there's something FAR worse in this game - DUMBARSE TEAMMATES.
Okay, so I'm Clark whoring on a city map server (yeah yeah, I know, city maps blahblahblah...when I'm jonesing for some Clarking I don't want to bother with trying to do so on the damn Titan, so sue me :p ) and, personally, I'm doing pretty well. Sure, the Voss still rapes me if I don't get that OHK, but I've grown to accept that. My teammates, on the other hand, must have been hand picked by the Special Olympics section of the BF2142 soldier pool. I get teammates who:
•Give me NO backup.
I don't just mean no health, although trying to get one of the dozen Vossers on my team to actually DROP a frickin' health pack is like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip, I mean no BACKUP. I **** you not, on more than one occasion (this happens a lot on Tunis, for some reason) there are three teammates holed up at the corner of a building just waiting for the enemies to come around, and the enemy squad is doing the same, so it's kind of like a Mexican standoff. I say, '**** this', and come around the corner. Apparently I take them by surprise, because I finish three of the guys off before finally getting brought down by the fourth (and final). Now you'd think that my dumbarsed teammates would use this opportunity to take over the enemy, since we now outnumber them 3 to 1, but nope. They just sit there doing NOTHING. One with an LMG, two medics. The fourth enemy then comes and revives the three guys that I killed, but do you think I could get ONE of those sorry-*** medics to rez me? What, and actually risk being shot at by the enemy? BULLETZ0rZ?!? NO WAI!!!.
•Cannot shoot guns worth a ****.
So they decide the best way to try to win this war is by spamming grenades everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Suffice it to say they aren't the best shot with those things, either, since they usually end up killing more teammates than they do enemies while they bounce off walls or go straight into the flag that a FRIENDLY squad is currently trying to take over.
•Are colour blind.
Seriously, people, enemies are red, friendlies are blue. Red and blue. RED AND MOTHER****ING BLUE. It's not rocket science. It's bad enough I have enemies shooting at me, I don't need some nubtard spawning with his Bianchi and thinking, 'w00t sum1 2 shoot!' and taking me down to 10 health before realising I'm on his team. Then I have to try to get health out of one of the aforementioned medics. Yay.
•Don't know how to command.
Yes, orbital strikes are great. They're even more useful when you use them BEFORE your squad gets to the enemy base, and not WHILE they're currently trying to take it. Srsly.
•Cannot and/or will not pilot a walker.
I swear to the god of the Clarkians that there is never a walker whore on my team. Ever. The enemy team ALWAYS manages to have a dedicated walker pilot and sometimes even a gunner. But too often our own walker sits at the base and collects dust, or better yet the enemy speeds through in an FAV, confiscates it, and then proceeds to baserape us with it. Awesome. I don't really fault my teammates for this one and I'm not much of a walker whore myself, just my dumb luck that I manage to be on the only team in the history of city map servers that is devoid of anyone wanting the walker.
•MUST BE SNIPER!
Of course, the #1 rule in battlefield is that the team with the most snipers automatically wins. Sure, the enemy team may have a squad with 5 medic/assaults and one support, but if I create a squad hoping for the same thing, I will get nothing but snipers joining me, and on the off chance I do get a medic, he will be too dense to revive me when I die or will not spawn on me.
AUGH!!! >_< >_< >_<
Yes, I had to vent. I know that a lot of the more selfish morons in the community play on city map servers (and no, I'm not saying that the reverse is also true, so don't lynch me :p ) so I really shouldn't expect much, but the one thing that pisses me off the most in this game isn't a Voss or an APM, it's when one team is organised and the other team has NO clue. And I'm not referring to clanstacked servers or anything, just average joe schmoes, where the enemy team gets the joes and I get the schmoes.
Thank you for attending. Don't forget to tip your waiter.
